Which "ism" Will Win The White House?


The fight for the Oval Office is getting serious now as Racism and Sexism duke it out in the last of the Democratic primaries. Racism can proudly say that it has a higher delegate count, as well as a big chunk of the popular vote, but Sexism remains confident that it's experience and name recognition will win the day. One of these contenders, of course, will eventually have to face Agism, the clear winner on the Republican side despite its' lack of support from Conservatism. Any one of these candidates would be one for the history books; Agism would be the oldest elected president, Racism would be the first black (ecsuse me- African-American) president, and Sexism would be the first female president, but most people will tell you they don't care about those things. No, most people will tell you thay care about the issues. They'll vote Agism for national security, or they'll vote Sexism on health care issues, or they'll vote Racism for....what was it? Oh, yeah...change. Well, no matter which "ism" you choose as the standard-bearer
for the issues that matter most to you, it's inevitable. Some poor "ism" is going to loose. Right now, we're all patting each other on the back, pointing out what an enlightened, high-minded society we are, so close to electing the first "ism," but when the chips are down, some "ism" is going to cry foul. So, if you don't vote for Hillary Clinton, you'll hear about the plight of Sexism. If you don't vote for Obama, you'll hear about the evils of Racism. If you don't vote for McCain, there will be talk of the sad state o
f Agism in America. So, get behind your "ism," folks! Just remember. When you vote for one, you'll be voting against another. Well, probably not you. You'll be voting on the issues.
