Professional sports and professional Politics are really the same thing…Spectator Sports. The new quarterback comes in from nowhere to play for your favorite Monday night Football team, and you instantly love them, until they stink, then you can’t stand that goddamn mother F%#ker, and can’t understand why they have not yet been replaced by those f&%king idiots in the front office.
The same goes for Presidential and State politics, but mostly for Presidential. You never heard of this guy or girl before, but just like that quarterback, now they are the candidate of your team, which makes them YOUR candidate!!! They may beat their spouse on a regular basis, but by God they are going to lead your team to the god damn Super Bowl! ur White House! Then they will be right up there next to God, Good old Damn Kentucky Fried Chicken, and American Pie. Sorry American Apple Pie, not that freaking way too long and confusing American Pie song from the, what freaking 60’s?
You love that guy or girl, until, of course, they stink, and then you will vote that freaking idiot right out of there and all of his friends to, because…there’s a new fresh face. Doesn’t matter who it is, because they are on YOUR team.
Now, your team may have used to have a slightly different name, and may have moved from one coast to another, or one city to another, but it is still your right as rain, bet your bottom dollar team. The same team that your father or mother loved. So what, if it is completely different then that team, but it is still your team. Just like that guy or girl is now your guy or girl, until they aren’t.
