Still more junk mail

The latest batch of junk political mail is almost comical. I can only envision some boilerroom in Lansing where the brainiacs from both parties put this stuff together thinking they're being clever and winning votes when they're alienating voters.
One piece that arrived at my house said "WARNING -- when Michigan Republicans don't vote ... Bad things happen." It continues to say "Don't let the liberals win. One picture is of Middle East terrorists and notes that "Democrats will cut and run on the War on Terror." One picture is a montage of Hilary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry and Michael Moore. It says "The radical left and the liberal media will continue to demand massive tax increases, a flood of new regulations and an assault on our values."
Now wait a minute. If the Dems are going to assault Rep. Foley's values, I'm all for them.
Another flier from Kate Ebli says she believes our education dollars should be spent directly in the classroom -- not on wasteful bureaucracy. It says every dollar spent here is an investment in our future. I'm not quite sure what the message is meant to be. I think it's trying to say every dollar spent in the classroom is an investment in our future. I think the dollars spent on the flier are kind of wasted, since the message is so fuzzy. But at least it's not offensive.
Then a real funny flier comes from the Michigan Republicans on behalf of John Manor. It says Manor is lifetime member of the NRA and a staunch defender of the 2nd amendment attacks from liberal extremists. It has a photo of Manor in hunting gear (he doesn't appear to be carrying a gun) and he's standing next to a shotgun-toting DICK CHENEY LOOK-ALIKE. How bizarre.
Even more bizarre is the flip side of the flier that has a real scary looking ski-masked guy toting a gun. It says "if the liberal anti-gun extremists backing Kate Ebli get their way, it will be easier for this guy to own a gun than it will be for you."
NEWS FLASH -- It already is because criminals don't follow gun registration laws.
BTW, the scary-looking crook with the ski-mask -- if you look close you can tell it's actually RANDY RICHARDVILLE growling behind the mask!
Actually, he can be forgiven. Richardville's junk mail has been very tasteful and far more effective than that of his opponent, Bob Schockman, who hasn't sent anything to my place --yet.
While the political parties continue to crank out this garbage, I have a couple of suggestions for the Ebli and Manor camps.
How about this: When Ebli's name is rearranged, it's just one letter short of being EVIL.
And when Manor's name is rearranged, it's just one letter shy of being NORMAL.
They can use that stuff and I won't even charge them.
