As the election grinds to a finish we start really seeing what is in store for our country.
As we move down the yellow brick road, Dorothy( Nancy Pelosi), the Cowardly Lion (Barney Frank), Harry Reid (The Scarecrow), and the Tin Man (Chris Dodd) reach their destination. They finally reach the Emerald City to meet the Wizard of Oz ( Barack Obama). As they are granted their request to be in the presence of the Great Oz they plead their case. Their pleas for more taxes and spending, for a larger government are heard. But they must bring back the broom from the Wicked Witch of the West ( Sarah Palin) before their wishes will be granted.
So the foursome head out to get the Wicked Witch of the West. They get to her castle and are attacked by flying monkeys ( the Conservatives) and are captured. When they make their escape they and destroy the Witch with smear and lies and get the broom. Our "heros" return to Oz with the broom to show proof to the Wizard of their accomplishment. They defeated the conservatives so the Wizard should be pleased.
Once back in Oz they return to the presence of the Great Oz. They present to him the broom. But a curious little dog (Joe the Plumber) senses something wrong and exposes the fraud. As the curtain is pulled back a man running the great Oz is exposed stating "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain' as he pulls the levers and pushes the switches to keep his machine running. But to no avail, the act has ended. The real man has been exposed for the fraud that he is. The false leadership, from a snake oil salesman from the Mid West is seen for what he is. Our "heros" are let down wondering how they will get what they wanted. To go home and spend like there's no tomorrow.
So what is the moral of the story? If something is to good to be true, it probably is. The American people are starting to wake up and open their eyes and see the truth. That is why the polls are tightening. The Kool Aid is wearing off, immunity is being built up in the body of Americans about the drug Obama has been pushing. The drug of tax cuts, and change, and "fairness". Because real change isn't more spending with our money, or giving it away to people who don't work for it. We have done that before. Real change is upsetting the apple cart. Overturning it and exposing those who are out for themselves. Only two candidates have proven they can do that. Look at their records. No frauds here, no men behind the curtain. Just a desire to change our direction and being able to back up what is said with actions of doing so on record.
