the REAL prune Juice

the REAL prune Juice

After a disappointing super Tuesday, I have to vent. You have 4 republican candidates to choose from. One said that he if he was elected, we would have a US moon base by 2020. Another said that he hopes that we are murdering  Iranian scientists. The third has changed sides on every issue so much that I can hardly find a quote to espouse his opinions since by the time I publish this, they will probably have changed. And the forth...well that's really what this is all about. The fourth.  The fourth predicted the housing crisis and the recession.  He has been so consistent in his views that you could play interviews from his 1988 run for president that would still accurately represent his views today. He has NEVER voted to increase the debt ceiling. The fourth was the only man in congress out of 435 members to vote against the patriot act. He is the only candidate speaking out against war with Iran (and ironically he is the only one who has actually served in the military). But you have pushed him to the bottom of the poles behind candidates whose only positive qualification is to provide fodder for SNL writers.

So just remember, when our soldiers are fighting and dying in Iran, that you had a chance to vote for peace. Remember, when our currency collapses and we see hyper inflation that cripples our economy, you were warned. When our enemies attack us during our weakest hour because we have been occupying their country for decades,  it shouldn't come as a surprise. When our government becomes so oppressive that you cease to feel free, remember that you could have done something about it.

...But you were too busy. You were too busy squabbling over your government hand outs. Or perhaps you were too busy to pay attention to politics at all. And it will be too late. Your chance was today and you. missed. it.
