A CAMPAIGN COMMENTARY (Don't try this at home)
Four days and counting?
About time to pick a candidate, wouldn’t you say? Can’t seem to make up your mind? We’re here to help. Sort of like the Red Star-News, which always stands ready to influence your vote.
What you have to do is just ask yourself what you really want most in a candidate.
Is it your fondest dream that the candidate you vote for is somebody who trains generals for the U.S. Army during his annual two-weeks summer camp? Man, that’s got to be a piece of work.
This gentleman also has the distinction of being the only candidate endorsed exclusively by an important politician who then endorsed his competitor too. Talk about a fleeting moment of rapturous approval!
Court records of his scrapes with the law weigh in at five pounds, and make up a stack of paper 2 ½ inches thick. Somehow this steamy stuff is shrugged off by most of the lamestream media, including radio shows hosted by a former paid consultant in his campaign.
Maybe this candidate is the guy you want in Washington, where temptations are few and deals are there to be made. If you want him, you know how to get him.
How about someone who has a talent for making wonderful families from New York feel really tacky and unwelcome after moving to the Wilmington area?
That what you want? Well, isn’t that how we won our renowned reputation for Southern hospitality?
If that’s not enough to win you over, this dude also resorts to mockery of names that sound foreign, whatever that means.
Can’t recall which candidate’s name he thought was so amusing. Breazeale, maybe? No, it might have been some sort of bird name. Vulture? Pigeon? Bat? I think it was Crow. Actually, I’m not sure anymore. Could have even been Pantano. All of them sound pretty funny to me.
Okay, that covers two of the candidates. But there’s a third man in the race.
This candidate has almost everything one could care to dislike. He’s from New York. He likes spaghetti. He has a strange name. He can’t talk Southern. He even killed somebody.
But he seems a gentleman and a man of honor and courage
Did you know gentlemen of honor and courage could kill people? Well, they can. Sometimes they have to. It most often happens in a thing called combat.
This former Marine officer hung tough, did not try to cut a deal, and was exonerated of a charge of murder, totally clearing his name and his record --although the outcome of the case in his favor is rarely acknowledged in campaign debates.
He also has stuck to the issues, and held his tongue at public events while taking insults and innuendo lobbed by his “fellow” candidates. He has run a clean campaign, as he said he would.
What could we call that, pray tell? Class? Character? Restraint? Civility? Christian values? I really can’t say. How about you make the call?
Anyway, all three of these guys are bright, patriotic, motivated, Republican, and, you know, (gulp) honest, gracious, and beyond reproach.
Should make your job easy on May 4 when you duck into the voting booth. Just do your duty. Look before you leap. Then pull the lever that feels right.
You’ll know which one that is.
Do it for America.

Welcome to blogging! It's always good to see fellow Catholic bloggers saying it how it is. I used to blog really hard-core as well and people emerged from the woodwork and harassed me and cyber-stalked me. Locals started reading my blogs and freaking out. Folk were harassing my family back home in America... now that we have kids I've decided it's not very safe any more. So I've turned to blogging about life on the farm. It's amazing how FURIOUS people get when they read a common-sense post about the stupidity of modern society. They take it so totally personal and whine about "you hurt my feeeEEEeeelings!" and then... like typical Liberals... "I disagree with you so now I'm going to do everything I can to hurt you."
ReplyDeleteBe careful. Once your blog is picked up by locals it can get really hot.
