Elections Like Drivers Ed

US Senator Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, spoke at the Democrat Rally on Sunday, October 8, 2006. He had an interesting way of discussing the election with others:

Harkin: "As you go out and talk to all your friends and neighbors about this coming election, after church, in your social clubs, down to the local cafe, wherever it might--here at the casino--wherever it might be, when you talk to your friends about the election, keep it simple.

Keep it real simple. Don't get involved in all this, just tell them:

All you ever needed to know about this election, you learned in Drivers Education.

I mean think about it.

If you want to go backward, you put it in "R".

Ok, stick with me here.

If you want to go
forward, you put it in "D"! "


I thought that was too cute. Very nice, Mr. Harkin. I'll have to remember that the next time I get in my car. Ok... "R"=Reverse/Republican... "D"=Drive/Democrat... Republicans are elephants. Democrats are donkeys. Either way, I guess it's a slow go.
