The Republican Kentucky Derby is about to start; expect ten or more entrants when the gates open. Trouble is that most of these non winners of previous races are back, running in a Grade 1 stakes when they are most suited for a claiming race. Don’t get us wrong here, they have their good qualities, but when it comes to 2016 they will be up against the Democrat Secretariat. You see the problem with the R’s are multitude – before the race starts they have beat themselves up so badly that Ladbrokes morning line places them in the 1000:1 category.
A look south in Mexico and another look across the pond will not give these also-rans any solice. Turkey for instance went radical sweeping the power of Erdogan out from under his rug. Mustafa Kemal Ataturk is rolling over laughing in his casket. Down south the tables were turned on the ruling party as a long shot came home first. A sweeping victory for people power. One voter offered this reason for the win, “the major political parties are made up of crooks, criminals and liars.” Seems like they were describing our government. On second thought hey were.
So let this be a warning for the Republican wannabees, you are all losers sans one. We will leave that to the voter to decide, but in order to put a nose in front at the wire and it will be a photo finish, he will have to go radical. Clean house, bring out the guns of radicalism for all to see. One more bit of advice, tell it like it is. (thirteen point manifesto follows) Tell the public that when you are elected the first priority is to bring charges against Hillary Clinton and Lois Lerner. Second, you must tell the Americans that America is for the rule of law and your justice department will enforce the law of the land. Third, tell America that you will eliminate fraud in government that even a stolen safety pin is theft and those responsible will be brought up on charges.
Fourth, you will prosecute those bankers who cooked the books leading to the financial crisis. Fifth, that you will prosecute those who have swindled the government, either by filing false disability claims, tax returns and welfare and medicaid claims. Six, you will eliminate the IRS code and set two rates, one at 10% and the other at 25%, seventh you will dissolve the Department of Education, Commerce and Agriculture, Eighth you will immolate the ethanol subsidy and all agriculture subsidies to boot. Ninth, you will eliminate the exempt status on the Clinton foundation while bringing charges of income tax evasion against it. Tenth, withdraw from the World Bank, Eleventh, quit the United Nations, twelve , legalize drugs – this might be very controversial, but will bring down the drug cartels from their fifty year highs. And thirteen, last but not least shout from the top of your lungs that you will cut government employment by 50%. That is just for starters.
If we can find a candidate to do all of the above, then we can win in 2016, if not expect more of the same.
