ELECTION: Here we come

First you said we all cling to guns or religion, or hate people not like us.

Then you said we should be ignored, since we were like Astroturf and not credible.

Then you said we were all kooky and extreme, bigoted, and probably prone to violence.

You also said we are too dumb to understand your noble aspirations and transformations of this country, and that you would try harder to "dumb it down" for us.

We were portrayed as whiners for complaining about record debt and wasteful policies like the stimulus package that are moving us toward Third World status.

The latest is that we are too frightened to think clearly, and therefore cannot comprehend your logical and scientific plans for this country.

Well, now our turn has come. We are ALL going to show up on Nov. 2 to "fundamentally retake" control of our country before you run it completely off the rails. After all, that's what elections are for ...

You said so yourself.
