| President Mitt-McCain |
On New Rules, Bill Maher railed against people who don’t
vote because … just because. And then they
complain that nothing ever changes. “You
know how you get change, you vote.”
It DOES make a difference!
On Real Time with Bill Maher, episode #336, which aired ON 11/14/14, Maher specifically mentioned Florida where I
live. Turnout was very low especially in the Democratic areas of the state.
Maher said, "Charlie Crist losing to Rick Scott would have made a difference to
the 700,000 people who would have gotten health insurance through Medicaid if
Crist was governor." I wonder how many of that 700,000 couldn’t be bothered to
vote? Crist lost by 66,000 votes.
(Medicare is important, but Florida will suffer in so many
ways from this last election.)
Maher talked about Obama. So Obama failed to meet every one
of your expectations. “The choice is not
between the perfect Obama in your head and the real one who went to Washington.”
Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. So Crist wasn’t a perfect candidate,
but he was much, much better than Scott.
Then Maher showed us the world under “President Mitt McCain” Scary and very funny.
Think about President Mitt McCain the next time you don’t
vote because it doesn’t make a difference or because the candidate just doesn’t
excite you. I'll paraphrase Maher--you're selecting who is going to hold office, not a lover.
