After tomorrow, months upon months of campaigning, mudslinging, and vitriol will come to a crashing halt with the end of the 2006 elections. Unfathomable amounts of money will have been wasted in vain and there will be many elated and angry people all over the nation. The same things could be said of just about every election that has ever taken place. Since these things don’t change, there doesn’t seem like much reason to go out and vote.

Think about the future, if a democratic majority takes congress and the house. Contemplate about all the fun times everyone will have watching Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi call for President Bush’s impeachment proceedings to take place. Watch the news coverage as Congress shoots down the tax cuts President Bush worked to implement for the United States, so that our citizens could keep more of their money. According to Andrew Grossman of the Heritage Foundation, we can enjoy seeing our tax rates increase by around 5% in every tax bracket, the estate tax bloom to a lovely 60% rate, and the deductions for small businesses be cut down to a quarter of what it is now.

Next, we can all enjoy hearing about the democratic congress refusing vital tools and funding to our border control, so that they’re further hindered in doing their jobs. That’s okay though, because they don’t believe that we need protection at our borders. Think of how great open borders could be. Everyone’s kids can get their illegal drugs at reduced prices, since the smugglers can get across the border with no problems. Our jails won’t be filled with criminals and murderers from Mexico, because when they commit their crimes, they can go back to Mexico with no problems!

Just think of how glorious it would be to see all of our security measures be thrown out the window like during the Clinton administration, so terrorists can come and destroy our citizens lives whenever they would like. We can all also sit back and enjoy watching our elected officials belittle the soldiers serving our country and fighting for freedom, as we already have from everybody’s favorite, Senator Kerry.

Finally, after all these changes have happened, they can pave the way for even more Democratic control. They’ll bloat the government to serve everybody, except the ones who are paying for it. The lovely story continues with everyone’s twilight years. We’ll never be able to retire though, because there will be no social security, and only the very wealthy will be able to have enough money to set back into IRAs, because everyone else will be too busy funneling more money into their higher taxes. All this can pave the way for President Hillary Clinton in 2008.

I get a little queasy just thinking about the words “President” and “Hillary” together. These things may sound a little outlandish now, but if the Democrats are allowed to take control, these horrific measures are feasible. I wish I felt that I was fear-mongering on these issues, but sadly, I cannot. These dangers are real, and possibly right around the corner. The entire severity of the situation had not crossed my mind, until my good friend Allen brought it up. He made me realize more deeply that we as a nation do have more things to worry about, than I had originally thought.

President Bush was defending his tax cuts the other day, as he has ever since he first began trying to do something good for the American people, which would explain the harsh opposition to them. “"Since August 2003, the American economy has created more than 6.6 million new jobs, including over 1.7 million jobs in the past 12 months alone. Real take-home wages are up by 2.2 percent over the past year, which means an extra $1,300 for the typical family of four with two wage earners.” This will all stop if a Democratic majority is allowed to infect Congress.

This recovery for our citizens is more than just numbers. These things mean better lives for our people, and the Bush tax cuts allowed these good tidings to come through. It’s indeed a shame that good things don’t matter to our elected Democratic officials, who will rip these cuts to shreds if allowed to by controlling Congress. This election is no trivial matter. If you’re alright with walking in the Leningrad of a Liberal wonderland that the democratic officials would make our country, so be it. If you want to fight for our country, and keep it decent for our citizens, get out and vote Republican.
