THIS IS REALLY, REALLY EASY!

(Home Culture & Society Politics, Voting & Elections/Frazer Chronicle)

Who are you supposed believe, who are you supposed to trust, and finally, “and I really mean finally, who are you going to vote for, without exception, that is the $64,000 question. I’ve read and heard about voting being our solemn duty because we are members of the greatest country ever invented by man.

 

If it’s so important for us as American citizens to be “counted” at the voting places, somebody please tell me why in the world people are expected to vote in parts of New York state and many areas in New Jersey…..bet you can’t.

 

All the jabbering, cat-fighting, mudslinging, negative ads, and good old “dirty politicking,” only two candidates and two parties survived the campaign. Nobody else has a chance, and they really never did, the Green, the Libertarian, Constitution, American Populist, Socialist Action, or the Socialist Alternative parties all came in a distant 3^rd. compared to the Republican or Democratic parties.

 

There are literally hundreds of political parties in the United States, there are even some that are registered, but do not nominate candidates, or list an agenda…..they just are. States have an “official” state chapter of major parties as well as some of the minor parties. New York State has 9 such parties, Oregon 4, Puerto Rico 8; Puerto Rico isn’t even a state, “aren’t they a commonwealth or something?”

 

My point with regards to all of these different political parties in our country is…..”you know me,” simple.  If we allowed, “as a nation,” so many political parties, the cost would be monumental, and the time necessary to sort out all the candidates would be unbelievably labor intensive.

 

So we’ve come up with this basic two party system to hoist one of the candidates into the President’s chair in Washington for a 4 year term. “I’d say something like (it, our system, isn’t perfect, but it seems to work for us,) but I won’t, why you ask…..because it isn’t true. Fraud misappropriation of funds, twisting truth is just the “tip of the ice-berg” of what is wrong with our system.

 

I have a solution, a really simple way of cutting through all the bull----, Republicans want less government, they do not believe in entitlements, and think taxes are way too high. I know it’s simple, sure I left a bunch of stuff out, but what I have said explains in a “nut-shell” what Republicans are all about.

 

Democrats would like to see a bit more government, and for sure not to reduce its size the way it is at present. They think government knows best, want to help people, expand entitlements, and raise the tax on rich people. Again, I’ve left some out, but you get the just of where I’m going with this.

 

No alternatives…..not at all, on this final day of campaigning, I want to throw a new name into the “hopper” what about a comedic, a funny man, somebody who has the capacity to make most of us laugh almost all the time, and about any subject…..he’s smart too.

 

WHAT ABOUT:

What about a fella that fills the bill to a “T”, a guy who has been in a slump lately, but is ready to break out, and regain his role as an innovator of government, as a man with foresight, able to deftly handle any political emergency, and to boot, is a likeable, good looking fella.

 

His political party, STAG “Self Talking American Government Party,” their political platform, everybody’s got a voice and needs to be heard. It’s time for visionaries to take charge of government, and get things going for the people, not for special interests groups, or some black or white guy thing. Poke-a- dot, that’s where we need to go, and then everybody is happy.

 

That man…..Pat Paulson, he is immanently qualified, and has but one flaw…..he died in 1997….but that is just a technicality, one that I’m sure we can overcome…..if we all work together. Remember, vote early and often tomorrow…..November 6, 2012.
