Congressional *Kryptonite: “I will not vote for you.” (P.S.)

Day by day it appears the **chasm that started out as a line in the sand is more and more pronounced separating people who are for and against having medical insurance for the multitudes.

In my opinion, the people who are against insurance for the multitude are rhetorically making efforts to pluck each and every pedal of the rose. I am mindful of the Frantz Schubert song wherein a little boy plucks off the pedals of a rose ending up having his finger pricked by its thorns.

-Senator, do I understand correctly you do not support the Single Payer portion of the President’s Health Care Reform Bill?
-Well, you see, blah, blah, blah, they can still get medical treatment blah, blah, blah, greatest country in the world blah, blah blah, blah whose gonna pay for it blah, blah, blah,
-Excuse me, Mr. Senator..
-No, let me finish, blah, blah,
-Mr. Senator, when your election comes up, I am not going to vote for you.
-Huh?? What’s that, you say?
- You heard me, Sir. When your election comes up, whenever it is, I am not going to vote for you. Neither is my wife. And my daughter will not be voting for you and her son and his girl friend will be of voting age by time your next election comes up and that makes five people who are not going to vote for you. You can take all your blah-blah’s (BS) and shov’em! I don’t know what you’re talking about anyway. Good-day, Sir. Oh, here’s the pledge we have signed to not vote for you. Consider it a certified, lever pulled “Pre-vote”.
As always,
BB
P.S. After reading my published post, I amused myself as to what part of the dialog I had written represented the rose? What part represents the plucking of the rose pedals and what part represents the thorns pricking the Senator’s finger? How many thorns were there? I did not realize I was writing a lesson plan.
