Swamp Elective

Let’s learn from the Spanish. No I didn’t say let’s learn some Spanish. Though, that might be helpful in decoding what flavor smoke our hypocritical politicians are blowing up our little brown neighbor’s asses this election season. No, I’m talking about the Spaniards who A) didn’t take any shit when it came to the War in Iraq they protested loudly. And B) last week when the conservative government tried to use the bombings in Madrid to pillory their favorite target ETA despite all evidence pointing to others (stop me when you hear the coincidences) The Spanish people voted them out and voted in some Socialist! Some real honest to goodness Marxist! Could there be anything cooler, George Bush in his effort to cobble together a bullshit “coalition” ends up helping the Socialist in Spain get elected! Ronald Reagan would shit himself if he knew…or hadn’t already…today.
In case there isn’t enough modern irony in that for you consider that Moorish Spain had huge populations of Muslims, Jews and Catholics living in peace for over 200 years. But that was before religious extremists took over the government and started the inquisition.
For those of you who missed that day in school or were educated in Georgia the Inquisition was like the Passion meets Wrestlemania III at Joseph McCarthey’s house.
So this November if you really want to cast a protest vote forget that Ralph Nader crap and vote for a Socialist that’ll shake some shit up, mark my words. C’mon if the Spanish can do it, what’s the matter ya chicken?
