The Year 2006 is an election year. After watching all the Democrats over the past few days talk of granting rights to illegal aliens I got a brainstorm of an idea: put some illegals on the ballot against them.
We could do it in New York against Senator Hillary Clinton and in San Francisco against Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. Since no Republican will ever carry either place we could put them on the Republican ticket.
What would the Dems say against this? That the people they're against are illegal? They want "rights" for these people. Isn't one right the ability to run for office? If the left raises a big stink, we'll just accuse them of racist, sexist, homophobia. We'll have our candidate recount tales of his family wandering the desert bare foot through cacti.
I'd really love to see what the Dems would say. Our candidate could even promise to work for half the salary of a Congressman (dare I say, do the work for a wage no American would accept?) It's okay though - he'll never see the money drained away in income taxes (if Congress even pays them.) He'd be an illegal.
I can even tell you how to answer tough questions:
#1 What do you think of the war? I think it's good. Who cares if a bunch of Americans die, we won't be taken away for the fighting: we're not citizens.
#2 What do you think of Abortion? My Catholic upbringing says that I need to be against it. It's okay though - if I ever need one I'll go home to Mexico (where it's legal) for the weekend.
#3 What do you think of gun control? I don't care about it. I'm not a citizen, I'll carry a gun if I want too.
So there you have it. I urge all Americans living near these areas to go in and vote for our illegal candidate. So what if you'd break the law to do it? We never really liked those laws anyway.
"They want "rights" for these people. Isn't one right the ability to run for office?"
Sounds good to me! What does US have to lose? Suspect we already have a few in office. Ran across name today. Will post it when I see it again.
