Is one of these terms used in the current Presidential race a baseless slander, and the other a sensible criticism?
1) war-monger
2) flip-flopper
Depending on which candidate is elected, will the nation either
1) go straight to hell?
2) be rescued from certain doom?
Does your blood pressure rise at the mention of either of these names?
Hillary Clinton
John Ashcroft
Does the thought of either of these two people as President send you into a foaming apoplectic fit?
If you answered "yes" to all of these questions, then you, my friend, need to take a Valium.
But you should also enroll in my easy study-at-home course: "Stop Frothing At The Mouth: Democrats and Republicans Can Be Rational People". (In some markets, sold under the name "The Other Side Is Not The Antichrist".)
That's right, for just three easy payments you can learn to appreciate the points of view that drive the other side of the political aisle; understand the fine art of political compromise; and, best of all, find out that just because another person is in the other camp, doesn't make that man or woman a deluded moron!
Act now! Operators are standing by.
Edited to add: Yeah, I said last post that I wasn't going to do any more political entries for a while. Then this one popped into my head and wouldn't let go.

2. Maybe not certain doom, but how about...lots of crap?
3. GUILTY! ASHCROFT! *FOAMFOAMFOAM* (Although, really...Rumsfeld is the one who really gets the foam gobbets flying for me...)
