Florida … Ground Zero ‘04!

with a touch of gray...

I am in Florida. I came here determined to make a difference. My initial goal was to personally deliver more than 500 votes to the polls in a mini-school bus I bought for just this purpose.

I am pleased to report that I will far exceed the 500 mark. I have already transported more than 200 Bush supporters to the polls. Most were elderly, who live at my grandmother’s retirement home. I have also visited two similar communities. Before I finish on Election Day, I expect I will have personally delivered more than 1,900 Bush votes.

I must say that these elderly people are good folk; most have been abandoned and woefully neglected by their wayward, self-absorbed children. I am sure it will not surprise any one to learn that the “prodigal” kids of these elderly folk are, universally, kerry supporters. At the start of the election, most of these elderly folk, interestingly, were also leaning kerry. After a bit of chatting with them, I am pleased to say that I have persuaded them that Bush would not, contrary to the democrat machine’s campaign of scare and smear, dismantle social security. How did I persuade them to vote for Bush, notwithstanding democrat propaganda and lies? By talking turkey and engaging them in thoughtful political discourse.

I also implored them to set an example for the Nation to follow by standing up against kerry’s proclivity to hide our Nation’s collective head in the proverbial sand. You know that pre-911 kerry mindset of life in the supposedly carefree ‘90’s. And they agreed that the man in the Oval office could not sit idly by, with Monica under his desk, allowing threats to gather. These good folk agreed that the carefree ‘90’s of Clinton & Monica, in the aftermath of the horror of 911, was simply not an option. Yes, I asked them to reject the “carefree Clinton/Monica ‘90‘s” and remember the 911 victims... Our peple's safety.

I implored the elderly to care more about this basic concern-- on which everything else in this Country -- world-- will simply either stand or fall, than any self-interest. I asked them to use their votes so as to never again allow thousands of people to be horrifically murdered in a single stroke, as on 911. I implored them to recognize the urgency of the situation; that the war had already actually begun, and that the clock could not be turned back pre-911. And they agreed that there simply was no stuffing the Jeannie back into his bottle. That kerry’s life long dream of being the next “JFK” was not an excuse for distracting the Nation’s attention from fighting this complex and comprehensive war on terror. They agreed that the 3000 dead on 911 demanded, not a mere police investigation, but war. They agreed that it boiled down to sheer deception on the part of kerry to disconnect the war on terror and the fight in Iraq.

The overwhelming result of my plain talk was that these good folk erupted out of the retirement of their pre-911 mindset and resolved to go out there and win one for the Gipper. In their wisdom, they agreed that the protection of our people, the security of our Nation, is the government’s paramount charge.

I asked them to stiffen the Nation’s backbone by voting Bush. I reminded them that civilization was no less at stake in this complex war on terror, as it was when the Nation rallied to defeat the sin called Nazi Germany, and scourge known as Red communism. They agreed that the world was at war and America could not afford retreat and defeat. In the end, we all agreed that kerry’s disingenuous campaign to disconnect the war on terror from Iraq was simply the shameless opportunism of a cynical and calculating politician. After we spoke bluntly, we then hugged, and played checkers. We even sang and danced.

I have several military buddies who have also purchased mini-school buses. They are also on their way to their grandparents’ respective retirement homes, where they hope to each deliver no less than 500 Bush votes to the polls. The mini-bus Bush vote movement is growing by leaps and bounds. Buy a mini-bus, and jump on board by driving them elderly folk to the polls. Just make sure they're Bush votes. No less than civilization is at stake. How many more 911’s can this Nation suck up? The grasshopper is at your feet. The blind man will show you. Peace!
