US Politics - Viewed From Ireland

A Letter to the General Population Of The United States, from Ireland:

THE IRISH - SUCH CLEAR THINKERS

Leave it to the Irish to cut through the crap and make the whole issue crystal clear...

Thoughts from across the pond. An email from Ireland to the brethren in the States...
a point to ponder despite your political affiliation:

'We, in Ireland, can't figure out why people are even bothering to hold an election in the United States.

On one side, you have a pants wearing lawyer, married to a lawyer who can't keep his pants on, who
just lost a long and heated primary against a lawyer who goes to the wrong church who is married to yet another lawyer who doesn't even like the country her husband wants to run.

Now...On the other side, you have a nice old war hero whose name starts with the appropriate "Mc" terminology married to a good looking younger woman who owns a beer distributorship.

What in Lord's name are ye lads thinking over there in the colonies??
There is NO CONTEST.

Nothing like "cutting to the chase" and getting down to what's really important. I agree, there isn't really any contest.

I for one would drink that beer (in the pub in question ofcourse) wearing my boots, to do it in style!

RIGHT YE ARE, laddie! The problem is that some folk get their thinkin all muddled by listening to th news media instead of sorting it out for themselves. Still, anyone with a pint in his hand ought to know straightway what he's voting for.

But thanx for helping us get refocused on this one.
