Choose Wisely


Over the past several months, the corporate parties have worked hard to establish the brand of their candidates. Yet, the best marketing in the world can’t change their experience, their policies and their gaffes. In November, we can choose…

We can choose a ticket that thinks that the pledge was written by the Founding Fathers or a ticket that believes there are 57 states.

We can choose a ticket that doesn’t have the discipline to graduate college in four years or a ticket that doesn’t have the discipline to stop smoking.

We can choose a ticket that has the experience of a mayor of a small community or a ticket that has the experience of a community organizer.

We can choose a ticket with no significant foreign policy or economic experience or a ticket with no significant foreign policy or economic experience.

We can choose a ticket that has voted with Bush over 60% of the time or a ticket that has voted with Bush 90% of the time.

We can choose a ticket that doesn’t know what the Bush Doctrine is or one that agrees with its principles more than they admit.

We can choose a ticket with strong rhetorical skills and mediocre substance or a ticket with little rhetorical skills and some substance.

We can choose based on gender, race or age.

We can choose based on policy positions.

We can choose based on world view, moral compass, or religious roots.

We can choose on information or we can choose on misinformation.

The choice is yours. How you choose is yours.

"But choose wisely, for while the true Grail will bring you life, the false Grail will take it from you."
