It’s been said time and again that one should never discuss religion nor politics when with others because arguements and tempers are sure to rise. However, I think most of us have reached the limit of our patience with these so-called political ‘representatives’ who are supposed to be OUR VOICE when it comes to what the People want and need. This is why we HAVE ‘representatives’…so the rest of us don’t have to go to the White House everyday in order to ‘git ‘er done’!

I think we need to rethink the necessary qualifications regarding who should and who should not be allowed to enter the political arena:

1. If you don’t have at least three tatoos on your body, you cannot run for political office.
2. When someone says, “Harley…” and the first thing you think of is your sister-in-law’s boyfriend, you cannot run for political office.
3. If you are trying to ‘climb up the ladder’ instead of using it to help paint your garage, you cannot run for political office.
4. If you don’t know how to ‘pop the clutch’, you cannot run for political office.
5. If you don’t have ‘good dishes’ and ‘everyday dishes’, you cannot run for political office.
6. If your list of where to go to ‘eat out’ doesn’t include McDonalds, Burger King, or KFC, then you cannot run for political office.
7. If your car payment is more than what a welder makes in a month, then you cannot run for political office.
8. If you don’t know how to scale and ‘degut’ a fish, you cannot run for political office.
9. If you have smoked it but haven’t inhaled it, you cannot run for political office.
10. If you’ve never broken a sweat at work, you cannot run for political office.
11. If your idea of ‘work’ is to hire someone else to do it, you cannot run for political office.
12. If you don’t know how to shoot straight, you cannot run for political office.

In short, if you pay taxes, work over 50 hours a week, eat a lot of chicken and ground beef, go to work sick because you can’t afford not to, know how to make five different versions of Macaroni and Cheese with just a can of peas and Cream of Mushroom soup, and believe that the Best Things In Life are free (because you can’t afford the ones that aren’t) then you SHOULD run for political office!

You’ve got MY vote!
