A lot is being said about the few candidates from the so-called Tea Party winning some primaries, lately. Let me just go on record as saying it's all much ado about nothing. These whack-jobs seem to think that cute slogans and smarmy little one-liners are all it takes to win an election.
Not so fast.
We all pretty much know what they're against. They seem to be against everything. Well, everything that isn't a white, God-fearing Christian bigot. If any of them actually sat down and read Elections for Dummies, they would see that in order to win, you need to tell people what you're for, what you plan to do, and how you plan to pay for it.
Several Tea Party candidates are running on the NO MORE TAXES mantra. It's taxes that paved the roads you drove on to your stupid little rally so you could scream "NO MORE TAXES."
When I see some of these rallies on the news, I see a lot of people who look like they're old enough to collect Social Security. I wonder if any of them know where the money for Social Security comes from?
I do, I do. The money comes from TAXES.
Tea Party favorite Rand Paul believes that parts of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 are unconstitutional. Alaska Tea Party senatorial candidate Joe Miller believes that unemployment benefits are unconstitutional.
Wow, amazing stuff, huh?
The only thing these candidates are going to accomplish is making their democrat opponents look real good come November.
Elections For Dummies is a timeless masterpiece. I hope you weren't besmirching its name.
