An Election Recap

[peristaltor]

"If there is one thing the Republican party has got to learn it is that you can't get votes by just denouncing. You got to offer some plan of your own. They only had one platform, 'Elect us, and maybe we can think of something to do after we get in, but up to now we haven't thought of it, but give us a chance, we may.'"

That quote had nothing to do with our most recent Presidential campaign. Will Rogers there was referring to the California governor's race of 1934.

The applicability made me giggle.
