As a registered Republican, I thought it would be interesting to give a first-time voter who was not sure if he wanted to join the Republican or Democratic Party a chance to see, hear, feel, and smell the differences.
First I took him to a fund raiser for a Democrat who was running for a state senate seat. We stayed exactly two hours. After we left I asked, "Well, how do you feel?"
He answered, "How am I supposed to feel? I feel fine. I might even vote for that guy."
The very next night we went to a fund raiser for the Republican who was running against this Democrat. Again, we stayed exactly two hours. On leaving I asked, "Well, how do you feel?"
For a long time the guy didn't answer. I just waited knowing what he was going through. Finally he says, "I can't put my finger on it, but I remember feeling threatened." I said nothing knowing he was still searching. After about two minutes he looked at me and asked, "Why are you a Republican? These people made me feel cheap. No, that's not it. I felt and still feel unclean. I just want to go home and take a hot shower. Honestly, I've never been around people who were obviously well groomed, but had a strange unpleasant odor about them."
While Democrats have all the same vices as the Republicans, they are without the cunningness, viciousness, and genetic evil. Democrats are the shoplifters of politics while the Republicans are seasoned professional bank robbers. The Neo-Conservative cannot wash away or cover up this inherent evil. I interviewed the late Jerry Falwell once, and it was all I could do to stay in the room with him. There was a sweet sickening smell that seemed to come and go as he spoke. I had to force myself to see his face as it was and not the face of some Hollywood demon from hell.
