Joseph, <<now if each one of us would run for congress in his or her own particular district I think we can turn this thing around.>> Ok Joe, Here's the Plan First we get our hands on the Voting records for our particular districts…which-ever party traditionally wins…be it Repulsive Can's or Damn-ol'-crap's….we register with and suck up to the winning party….so far classic politics….. Next we hire a publicist to make sure we always agree with the majority of the opinion polls….hmmmmm this is starting to sound like the 94 election…. Accept only Campaign workers who are son's or daughter's of the most wealty and influential but make sure there involved in Green Peace and ACLU activities that way we suck in both sides. Make sure you never pass up a chance to Get on Television, Radio or respond publicly to anything…. Don't forget about Unions, and Minority Groups…this means a lot of chicken dinners and crowded halls but you can usually get through those with a minumum of embarrasment as long as you never say anything that sounds remotely like you actually know what your talking about. The trick is to just say it loudly, dramaticly, and with conviction! Remember to reward your supporters with cushy jobs while denying it and at the same time make sure you have a covert group getting as much dirt on your adversaries as possible….Hell it worked for LBJ! Acting lessons would also help…a lot of emoting and postering when it comes to emotional issues…never waste your time on anything other than emotional issues….it just doesnt' get votes. Remember it's more important to look great than feel great and much more important to appear to care than actually get anything done that will benifit anyone….worked for Reagan! Once you are elected you've got to suck up to the good ol' boys until enough of us can get elected to take over both houses. When that happens…remember this will take a minumum of 8 years… those of us that can remember why we ran in the first place should meet in the Star Chamber and plan World Domination based on our true feelings…. Of course the Information Highway would become an interactive real-time Reality as well….Ahhhhh I can see it all now… Feel Free to expand on this..<BG> Murph'
