Betty & Her Invisible Running Mate on the Issues

With a bracing candor completely foreign to both American politics and conversations intended to keep friends, Mrs. Bowers & Her Invisible Running Mate grab American voters by their plump shoulders and shake some self-serving, xenophobic righteousness into them with their wildly inventive approach to solving problems — even those sneaky problems nobody even knew they had:

Nations of the World take note: You’re either slipping us ammo – or you’re the target.

Or should we say: Free? Dumb! Everyone goes around saying that freedom isn’t free. So why the dickens aren’t we CHARGING for it? Let’s privatize human rights so they are – finally – worth something! Within hours of taking office, we will slap some dollar signs on the few, annoying freedoms that are left – and put the BILL in Bill of Rights!

Make so-called “Sin Taxes” live up to their name. Every time someone blasphemes my running mate while driving, covets my husband or, worse, my look — or impetuously casts the first stone before she who is without sin (Mrs. Bowers) gets a clear shot — our administration will hit them with a $1,000 fine. Just think, fines for sins of the flesh by GOP members of Congress alone should ensure an outrageously lavish federal surplus by the end of the first week of our righteous administration!

We propose carpet-bombing less desirable neighborhoods and iffy zip codes with a flurry of 3-color pamphlets scolding poor people about how irresponsible it is to get either a cold or a tumor without getting a Blue Cross card first. These pamphlets will be composed entirely of illiterate-friendly pictograms, as we plan on giving that famous Child Left Behind plenty of company (see “EDUCATION”).

China, regrettably, may have more knee-high, pre-teen slaughter house workers than us, but the one thing America will always have more of than anyone is CONVICTS. Isn’t it time America stopped ceding vital markets to China and started selling some of its own convicts’ livers on the medical black market?

Let’s make sure nobody in America can buy a loaf of bread, gas up a car or acquire a driver’s license without proclaiming that “Jesus is Lord!” first.

We believe that clammy stuff growing inside a lady’s hoo-hoo is sacred and needs protecting. Of course, after it gets big enough to crawl out, it’s on its own.

Support our brave mercenary war-propheteers in Iraq by granting billions of dollars of new contracts to Blackwater* and Halliburton** – and by giving them immunity from anyone they’ve been delegated to shoot, cheat or genitally electrocute.

** An “Heirloom Diamond & Sapphire Tiara” Level campaign contributor.

Instead of the tedium of conservation, isn’t it time we simply turned on our so-called “friend” Saudi Arabia and took their oil? Jesus thinks so! After all, we’ve got all the equipment for an oil field land grab parked right next door in Iraq, none of which seems to be doing anything particularly useful at the moment.

As Republicans, educating our children is a lose/lose situation. If it fails, we’ve wasted millions that could have lined the camo-pockets of contractual mercenaries in Iraq. And if it works, we wind up with a pack of know-it-alls who “understand” Evolution. As such, we propose a cautious approach to education, which will avoid any unnecessary or premature informing of our youngsters. After all, students filling public high schools today may well wind up as bodies filling flag-draped caskets tomorrow, thanks to an a never-ending string of Christian/Muslim Holy Wars currently being planned or provoked. Since education is seldom our friend, let’s be frugal and wait until each prospective student crawls off the bloody battlefield one last time before we lavish him with used textbooks and a No. 2 pencil.

Jesus feels strongly that America’s Fundamentalist Christians need to beat Islam at its own little game. If we are truly diligent, we can unearth even more enormous penises in even MORE Disney cartoons, proving to Muslims everywhere just how lackadaisical and apathetic the Taliban truly is!

If folks in America are going to be standing in line at the Western Union to send shoeboxes of cash back to avaricious relatives in foreign lands, let’s at least make sure that when they open their mouths to speak gibberish it’s Pentecostal tongues – and not Mexican! – that comes out!

We propose continuing the current Republican policy of slapping the American economy on a Bank of China VISA card! What’s in your wallet, America? Because Jesus knows it isn’t cash!
