Ah HA! It appears (not to quote Admiral Yamamoto, or anything) the sleeping giant of midwestern politics has awoken here.
Okay Larry! "Bidness" as usual, huh?! Let...as you say... these "Special Interests", whoever they may be, continue to plug away with their deceitful "commercials" that do absolutely NOTHING to enlighten ANY debate, huh?
Haven't you realized by now that these very BIASED and EXPENSIVE "commercials" have contributed to the very cynicism and apathy that permeates the American consciousness today.
And even though you may think, and I doubt I'm wrong in my assessment here, that the major networks are biased towards the "Left"(ha ha...wrong), and that the "real" news is only being supplied by Fox News(HA HA...WRONG), I'd rather receive my information about candidates and issues from THEM(yep...even FOX) than from some political HACK(read: campaign manager) who's being paid to smear his employer's opponent with a continual barrage of OUTRIGHT lies and half-truths.
I'm not talking here about taking away people's rights, I'm talking about taking BACK what is in the PUBLIC'S interest.(which BTW are who the "Airwaves" belong to...if you know your FCC regulations, that is)
But alas, I KNOW something such as my suggestion would be doomed to failure because IF I could ever get enough APATHETIC Americans to even sign such a petitions, here's EXACTLY what the Status Quo would run on TV...........
Their "commercial" opens with the picture of a Iraqi terrorist who has a knife to the throat of an american hostage.
And THEN, some out-of-work voice-over actor would intone...."If you vote for the "Dwight Law" you are just giving the terrorist what they want".
And you know WHAT Larry. Their crap WOULD work TOO. Always HAS(just ask those afforementioned "HACKS"), because I KNOW the American Public doesn't seem to have the time OR the inclination to do their OWN investigation and/or READ about the REAL FIGGIN' ISSUES that affect them. And so FEAR works to move 'em to blindly act and vote.(well...the 50% who DO get off their lazy collective a$$es, that is)
Cheers,
Dwight
(and people wonder why I'M so freakin' cynical)
