An Old TRUMAN Story
My Dad took delight in telling a story from the Truman election of 1948. (See my blog of 4/18/12: IS 2012 a REPLAY of 1948? ) We know that Truman beat Dewey in that classic "upset" of 1948 by barn-storming the entire country by train and by car. The story goes that Harry and Bess were driving in upstate New York early one morning during the campaign. As the sun rose, Bess asked Harry to stop the car, because she had to "go". As she waded out into a field to do her business, she yelled back to Harry, "it's a little dewey out here". Harry yelled back, "just p*ss on him, honey!"
We may have, sadly, become "politically correct" since those days in the 1940's and '50s, but the results of the 2012 election show that the spirit of the voters in this country lives on.
For serious reprobates like McCain and Graham, the entire country should cry "shame!". They have, in these in-extremis days of their Party, once again held this nation up to ridicule! Is there not ONE Republican left who will publicly decry what the "great un-washed" who have taken over their party are doing to us?
My take is that Truman had it just right!
