Wishful Thinkin'


The below exchange may be funny and a little far fetched, but listen to this. We all have heard of laws and bills proposed and passed through our state and federal legistlatures and some of the laws are enough to make you want to hurt somebody. You get pissed and you are the one grasping for straws to get the bills stopped. Let me give you an example: Last week, it was reported on a radio station that one California representative wants to tax people who buy low gas mileage SUVs $2500 more when they purchase the vehicles and in turn rebate the same $2500 to folks who buy hybrids. So if you happen to have a large family and refuse to go the mini-van route, and instead they choose to buy a SUV..The state is going to hit you up for 2500 hunny and pass it to the nimrod who just bought a hybrid via rebate. Its bills like that and statements made by these people that makes you wonder where and how did these people get elected...want more: Another California representative in a so called effort to curb kiddie porn limited the number of kiddie porn to 25...meaning sick azz pedophile gets to have 25 pieces of kiddie porn. When ridiculed about it by another legistlator, he changed it to 15. I guess none will be out of the question...had enough how about this: Last month another California legistlator proposed changing the textbooks our children use in school to include the sexual orientation and preferences of the characters, fiction or non-fiction. In other words, our heros in history will be hit with the presumption that he or she was gay or a lesbian.

So after hearing all this and bullbleep about the amnesty for illegal aliens. I thought of a situation where we get angry and pull off the biggest coup in American history. We recall each and every elected official, I don't give a damn if they are republican or democrat!

So here it is, California Senator Barbara Boxer is informed that she has been recalled....

Imagine wit' me Senator Boxer Told that she has been recalled
Senator Boxer: I think that this president has failed at every aspect of his presidential terms...we were lied to about wmd's and now he is spying on the American people...I
- Aide walks in and whispers in her ear.. I? what? what in heavens are you talking about? what?! what?!

Journalist: Senator Boxer are you okay? You look ill.

Boxer: Could you give me a few minutes? Are you sure this isn't some right wing blogger mess? Aide nods yes., just as the journalist's cell phone goes off..

Journalist: Leftstein. what? are you serious? when? oh my gawd, this has to be a first..Yeah, I'm sitting right in front of her. Oh she knows, she was just informed by her aide. okay..okay..thanks...wow! Sen- excuse me Ms. Boxer, I assume you already know that the citizens of the state of California has recalled you and your colleague Ms. Feinstein and other elected officials in your home state of California. Any knowledge of why this happened and did you know that a petition was started.

Boxer: (looking pale) ahhh, ahhh, I I knew that there was some petition going around seeking a statewide recall, but I dismissed it, because I felt that they were a bunch of right wing nuts looking to cause trouble.

Journalist: They needed a helluva lot of signatures to get this passed...according to my sources, they not only got the signatures, but appeared that everyone in the state, whether they were liberal or conservative signed it, why do you think that is?

Boxer: I I don't know, I served my state. I gave my state my all and I was doing what was in the best interest of my home state.

Journalist: But everyone practically signed the petition..they basically fired you, why?
Boxer: I don't know why..

Journalist: You don't know why? Excuse me...(gets up to retrieve a copy of the petition) my apologies. I just want to get an explanation as to how you and other elected officials, which seem to now have spreaded to other states, are in this position. According to the petition, the people of the state of California has a no confidence in its elected officials..it states that those elected to serve in its state legistlature and federal legistlature have succombed to special interests and not listening to the voices of the people...One of the issues is illegal immigration.

Boxer: whoa, wait I told them I supported a reformed immigration bill and that I support any immigrant wishing to be a citizen...

Journalist: But ma'am, they are talking about illegal immigrants...You do know the difference between illegal immigrant to legal immigrants..

Boxer: Why of course I do...don't be stupid..

Journalist: May I ask what your definition is between the two, then.

Boxer: huh?

Journalist: definition. what is your definition between the two?

Boxer: Look, I stood in Capital Hill fighting for the rights of immigrants to have rights afforded to them, like you and I get..

Journalist: Wait...I'm an immigrant from...lets say, Spain..and I come here, wanting to be a citizen of this great country...wait here me out...I go to the federal building, fill out my application and pay my fees. I learn english and do everything that is required. I have to wait some time but my dream of being an American is around the corner...exactly what right are you fighting for?

Boxer: well I must admit that the time it takes for one to become an American citizen is lengthy, but after 9/11 -

Journalist: whoa! wait it took that long before 9/11

Boxer: Yes I know, but -

Journalist: wait a minute, you supported the illegal alien marches.

Boxer: I supported the immigrant marches

Journalist: Why would you support legal immigrants if they are doing the right thing. It's the illegals who are looking for rights..they're illegal and they marched for rights they don't deserve. You don't know the differences do you?

Boxer: I was looking out for all immigrants!!

Journalist: wait one moment please...all immigrants? Do you think its fair to legal immigrants to see illegals get a free pass to citizenship?

Boxer: It's not a free pass, it's opening the door of our country to those with no opportunity..It's opening the door to those seeking a better life for themselves and their families..Is that not the American dream?

Journalist: Your constituents disagree...Do you know Gil Cedillo?

Boxer: Yes, Gil is a good friend of mine

Journalist: Have you spoken with State Senator Cedillo about his repeated efforts to give illegals drivers licenses? Better yet, do you support his efforts?

Boxer: Gil is trying to save the lives of our citizens by providing "undocument newcomers," licenses so they can safely drive on our roads.

Journalist: undocument newcomers? wouldn't our citizens be safer if these "undocumented newcomers" aren't allowed in the country and in turn allowed to have licenses..

Boxer: (aggraviated) what do you suppose we do with these people..send them back?

Journalist: Do you agree with the recall?

Boxer: Obviously I don't..I need to get with my people and see if we can apologize for not listening and hopefully regain their trust of the public.

Journalist: and if they don't put you back in office how do you want to be remembered?

Boxer: Well I fought the good fight...I fought for the small people who had no voice..I stood up to the right wing groups and neo conservative types who wanted to impede on everyone rights. I fought and I voted for tougher penalties on crime. I fought for education and minority and women's rights. I fought to have judges who will preserve Roe v. Wade.

Journalist: She is now fighting for her political career and most assuredly her legacy will be muddied by this, what seems to be a national coup of Americans taking America back...Thank you Senator Boxer and good luck...
