We're sitting this Sunday evening finishing dinner and a big knock knock knock at the door signals an exciting occurrence. We open the door and who's standing there but...the Rethug nominee for Commissioner. He's a local attorney with a 'big-name' firm here in Philly. The dialog went something like this - abbreviated for brevity and inanities:
Rethug: Hi! I'm your neighbor _____________, and I'm running for commissioner of the borough. Here's a chip-clip and a pen with my name on it.
PC and Bride: Hi.
R: I know you're both registered Democrats, and you may know I'm a Republican, but I'm sort of an Independent Republican and I'm a Republican "because my father was a judge and he told me to register Republican when I was 18". (No lie - direct quote word for word.)
PC: Like you can't re-register???
R: -Stupid giggly laugh - -small talk - neighborhood-like- blah blah blah
PC: Yeah...these people here are really nice blah blah blah...
Interlude: School taxes, road paving, etc... but here comes the good part:
R: Ya know, I just want local government to work well...it seems that Republicans do a better job of that, at least here. Bush of course, is a disaster.
PC: Yeah, he is - you're right...but you guys fought tooth and nail to make sure he was selected by your stacked Supreme Court and rejoiced in his inauguration. Now...it's like you had nothing to do with it.
R: (Voice raising a bit) well, the other guy would have been a lot worse...
PC: (Cutting him right off): WHAT! Do you mean to say that Gore would have started this stupid war AND is MORE impaired, MORE illiterate, MORE STUPID than your boy Bush? Was eight years of peace and prosperity too much for you to bear (Direct quote this is).
R: -(turns to PC's bride) your husband is changing the subject...
PC: (Puffing out his chest) You're absolutely right...I',m the voter and I CAN TALK ABOUT ANYTHING THAT I WANT. You're the guy running for office and you either have to listen or get off my doorstep. Your choice.
R: It was great talking to you. You really seem to know your issues.
PC: Yeah and guess what my friend, we're mad as hell and we're not gonna take that stuff you guys have been dishing out anymore - not without at the very least a spirited discussion.
R: I can see that! (Scurries back to the car)
PC takes chip clip and pen, and polishes Rethug's name off on dental lathe in basement. Ha ha.
********************************************************************
so the voting 'happens and he loses by eleven(!), yes ELEVEN votes. I posted that info right after election day...
but here's the really good news: He asked for a recount at his expense and guess what...
He really lost by....DRUM ROLL...............................
SIX VOTES!!!!
And that's that.
Ha. Ha. Ha.
You must also understand, parenthetically, that this used to be a hotbed of RWers. No more.
Ha. Ha. Ha.
