"As people do better,
they start voting like Republicans...
...unless they have too much education and vote Democratic,
which proves there can be too much of a good thing."
Karl Rove
President Bush's Advisor (and college dropout)
OK, some of these are dated, but it's the thought that counts, right? :)
Did you ever wonder "what
if"
about Bushco and The Wizard of Oz?
I first registered to vote
in
1971, and in 1972 I joined the club with the card shown below. George
McGovern was running against Richard Nixon, whom I despised at a
politician, and I spent almost half my weekly salary to send the
campaign $25. The theory was that if one million people each sent $25,
Senator McGovern would have a war chest about as large as Nixon's and
could contest the election. History proved him wrong on that, but
history proved Nixon more wrong on bigger things. Ah, the wonderful
memories of John Dean and Sam Ervin and the Watergate hearings!
I still have the lapel pin also, and I have seen the
pin/card package for sale on the web for $25. Not counting the value of
inflated money since then, I could sell them for what I paid for them.
But I won't!
I was the first registered voter in my
county in the 18-20 year old class after the 26th Constitutional
Amendment allowing my age group to vote. I was issued card number 1-NE.
The "NE" stood for "national elections" since the state interpreted
that amendment as applying to federal elections only. That was later
changed. I wish I still had that card, but had to turn it in when I
turned 21 to get my "regular" card issued to me. It would have made a
souvenir almost as nice as my treasured MMM card.

really cares except me).
The audio you heard if your browser if sound-enabled is a clip from Papoon
for President by The
Firesign Theatre. I make no claim that George W. "Dubya" Bush is
"not insane" but George Papoon certainly wasn't! As the nominee of the National Surrealists Party, he resembles
the Eveready bunny in that he just keeps on runnin' :)
One warning I will give you--you see some graphics on here which have
the URL "MoPaul.com" on them. I saved those many years ago. If you go
to that URL now, you will find that someone else owns that domain now,
and it has absolutely nothing at all to do with Bush or politics. You
have been warned!!
