I'm the Boss




On the eve of the election, I would like to remind the Democrats that you work for me. And for her. And for him. You work for the homeless and the gays and the farmers and the uninsured and the minorities and the innocent until proven guilty by something other than the Patriot Act.

I am voting Democrat straight down the line and none of you better let me down. I am going to watch you like a hawk and if you do not fufill your end of the deal, I am going to do all I can in my power to make sure you are severely reprimanded. After all, this is the only instance that I know of in which the employee makes more than the employer, so I feel that I should speak up when you do something I do not like, which happens quite frequently. For example, something like not standing up for health care for every American. You remember... the kind of issue you go on and on about right before the election, only to forget about after you are in office enjoying really decadent lunches that I think you might be charging to me. Why, with all that fatty food you enjoy, it is a good thing that you have such great health coverage!

So, I just thought I should clear all of this up in case you gain control of Congress, the governor's mansion, and the courts. And even if you do not become the majority, please do not be so submissive in your minority status, as you were during this latest outbreak of war. Perhaps if we bomb Iran, you can be a bit more vocal in your protests as you are chauffeured around town.

After all, I hired you to be pro-active. I just did not know I was going to have to pay for a driver for you to get moving.

I am voting Democrat

Yeah, me too. No other way to do it.

Indeed


"Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country."

Right On

While I can't say I voted straight Donkey, all public officials work for us. Now more than ever Washington needed a reminder. I hope they heard us this time.
