Frank J., Political Power Broker
Posted by Frank J. at 08:34 AM | View blog reactions | Comments (32)

I just realized something: now that I'm 25, I'm old enough to be a U.S. Representative. Problem is, there is already a conservative Republican representative from my district, Dave Weldon, and he doesn't seem to be planning on retiring or dying any time soon (phooey). I could run for one of those podunk local offices I never heard or bothering voting on, but that’s just not right for me.

Maybe instead of being a politician, I should be one of those guys who works behind the scenes and pulls all the strings like Karl Rove. I'd always be standing in the shadows with all you'd see of me being the lit end of my cigarette.

But cigarettes are bad for you.

Anyway, I should do something. Florida is a battleground state, plus we have a vacated Senate seat up for grabs (which I'm five years too young to try and claim; stupid Constitution). I'm just afraid that if I sign up with local GOP, they'll simply have me knocking on doors and doing phone calls (which I did during my college years). I'm too much of a genius for that. I should have some luxurious office where I strategize and then have the lesser people do the footwork. To help convince them of my use, here are some ideas I already came up with:

* Disenfranchise Democrats by making an extra confusing triple butterfly ballot that takes at least a third grade education to understand.

* Release angry, disease infected monkeys in heavily Democrat districts on Election Day.

* Secretly gain illegal foreign contributions. With that money... wait, for'ners hate Republicans. Hmmm...

* I know: daring daylight robbery of the Democrat's foreign campaign contributions. I'll need a ski mask and a second .45 to pull this off (it's not daring unless you have dual-.45's). The leader of the GOP in Florida will have to be coy about the sudden increase in funds, attributing it to a "daring daylight fundraiser."

* We need to get Reno come down here for some big speaking engagement to anger the Cubans. Good 'ole angry Cubans; always voting Republican.

* In places where lots of confused old people try to vote for Democrats, have punk kids with their baggy pants hang out in front of the polling places scaring the elderly away. Yes, that just how innovative I am: I found a use for punk kids.

* Write a thoughtful editorial. Nothing will sway the public’s opinion like a thoughtful editorial.

* Imply John Kerry is gay in an editorial (not that there's anything wrong with that). It shouldn't be too hard to prove (not that it would sway anyone's vote). I just think it's worth mentioning to the public that John Kerry is really, really gay (though there is really, really nothing wrong with that).

* Threaten people who vote Democrat with violence. Say we secretly put cameras in polling places and will wreak a terrible vengeance on all those who support the vile donkey-men. I'm pretty sure the McCain-Feingold "reforms" say nothing about violent threats.

* Instead of debates, challenge Democrats to kung-fu battles. Use secrets of death touch to bring quick end to political discourse.

* Pray to God to hit Democrat districts with terribly snow storms. Then again, this is Florida, so that's pretty improbably. I doubt God could actually do it. I mean You're a great guy and all, God, but that's probably even too much for You. Don't worry; I won't think much less of You if snow storms don't attack Democrats on election day.

* Then again, maybe trying to subtly goad God into politically bullying isn't a smart idea. Instead, I'll just sacrifice a bull.

* Let's declare all Democrats enemy combatants and ship them off to Gitmo. When the ACLU complains... Gitmo! Be nice to the terrorists; they bite.

* Many Democrats think that Republicans are rich, powerful, gun-toting thugs. Let's remind them that those are great reason not to piss us off.

I am such a genius. As soon as I'm given the reigns of power, the air will fill with the lamentations of our enemies. Muh ha ha ha!

Remember to vote Republican.

A sacrificed Bull may do the trick. I love the new low-carb diet! Just remember, Bar-B-Q is better with Beer.

You could put the hippies to work with the baggy-panted punks. Then, just as the polls close, you could drive by in a hybrid gas/electric car with Kerry '04 stickers smattered all over it, pull out your dual .45's and lay waste to the hippies and punks.

This would effect 'swing states' in the west by showing that a Kerry supporter is mentally deranged (which we all know that they are anyway).

The media couldn't possibly put a spin on it, thus ensuring a GOP landslide.

"Then again, maybe trying to subtly goad God into politically bullying isn't a smart idea. Instead, I'll just sacrifice a bull."

C'mon, God is well known for loving a little good natured joshing around. He invented platypusseses, Muslims, and Democrats!

Maybe you should sacrifice Michael Moore, a bull is good, but go for something really BIG!

#9 - Posted by: Chris on June 18, 2004 09:15 AM

Just keep walking around the elderly and union members while muttering, "Can you believe Kerry wants to break up unions and lock away all the elderly people? I don't care if he does think it's for their own good, it just seems wrong."
The key to communication is repitition. You just have to repeat it till everybody else repeats it too!

By the way, I think there may be another barbeque prepared for Michael Moore, something of an afterlife affair.

When you become president I fully expect the moon to be nuked.

#12 - Posted by: Matt on June 18, 2004 09:45 AM

Back to your original problem, Frank. Wasn't the Florida STATE legislature a bit involved in resolving the hanging chad scam? There may be an opportunity there, and Samurai Assemblyman* has a nice ring to it.... A-a-a-n-d, once in the Lege, you could secretly gain illegal DOMESTIC contributions. With that money....buy guns.

*some assembly required

#13 - Posted by: slimedog on June 18, 2004 09:58 AM

Here's my idea. Roll a keg of good cold beer to the polling place and offer free beer to all republician voters after they vote. Declare "A vote for republicians is a vote for free beer!!" No one is against free beer.

#14 - Posted by: Josh on June 18, 2004 10:20 AM

Here on Staten Island, being a behind the scenes Republican 'strategerist' gets you a school named after you.

#15 - Posted by: TC-LeatherPenguin on June 18, 2004 10:26 AM

Hey, you only have to be a resident of the appropriate state to run for Rep, not the appropriate district. There's 23 of them in Florida, I'm sure you can find *one* of them that suits your purposes.

#16 - Posted by: Alsadius on June 18, 2004 10:51 AM

Frank, since you don't smoke, maybe you could chew gum while standing back in the shadows and the only sign that you were there is the sound of bubbles popping.

#17 - Posted by: jonag on June 18, 2004 11:06 AM

How about a cigarello like the Man with No Name. Yeah, a nice cigarello.

#18 - Posted by: Frank J. on June 18, 2004 11:19 AM

i think that only clean animals (this excludes Michael Moore) were supposed to be sacrificed, but i'm not Jewish so i could be wrong.

oh, and that was funny, frank.

#19 - Posted by: sarahk on June 18, 2004 11:40 AM

Instead of smoking a cigarette, you could blow bubbles from the inky darkness.

#20 - Posted by: R.W. on June 18, 2004 11:40 AM

Frank:
Just rent a big bus on election day and stick one of those signs on it that says, "Free shuttle bus to the polls for all loyal democrats!" Then, as the dummycraps get on the bus, we tranq them just enough to make them "happy". Then you drive them all over town, never stopping to let them vote. I'll help by leading the songfest. We get them to sing the "wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round" or "100 bottles of beer on the wall" and other bus favorites, all the while you're up front driving and laughing slyly Muuuuhahahahaha!

#21 - Posted by: Connecticut Yankee on June 18, 2004 11:49 AM

Don't you have to be 35 to be a Senator?

I suppose I could go look it up. Oh, and Frank, you can borrow my .45 if you need it.

#22 - Posted by: Dave in Texas on June 18, 2004 11:53 AM

25 Rep, 30 Senate, 35 Pres

#23 - Posted by: Frank J. on June 18, 2004 11:57 AM

Reminds me of one of my favorite Schwarzenegger quotes...
What is best in life?
To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.

#24 - Posted by: Zach on June 18, 2004 12:40 PM

Frank, saying the words "Stupid Constitution," even whilst joking, is grounds for a pimp-slap. Report to Alabama imediately for punishment.

#25 - Posted by: Masada on June 18, 2004 01:44 PM

you can come to my district and challenge the Democrat/scuzzball wanker in office here

#26 - Posted by: unkonwn on June 18, 2004 01:45 PM

Frank,

You should also tell your many Canadian readers to remember to vote Conservative. We actually have a chance of getting a majority.

Then, Harper and Bush could be like two guys in a cop/buddy movie. You know, fighting evil and whatnot.

#27 - Posted by: Nathan on June 18, 2004 03:55 PM

Make sure everybody knows that there will be cameras with face recognition software at polling places in the larger urban precincts, in an effort to round up terrorists, illegal aliens, and people behind on their child support.
This, of course, is true. You saw it posted on the internet, didn't you?

#28 - Posted by: Bill on June 18, 2004 10:10 PM
But cigarettes are bad for you.

So's voting Democrat, but they haven't made that unacceptable. Yet.

* Release angry, disease infected monkeys in heavily Democrat districts on Election Day.

And how would they be distinguishable from regular Democrats? They'd probably let the d----d monkeys vote. Of course, the monkeys aren't as likely to have problems with the butterfly ballot.

#29 - Posted by: aelfheld on June 19, 2004 10:49 AM

Wow, you're a jackass. Enjoy hell.
