Every man’s fantasy is not necessarily a good thing in presidential politics, but what are the chances we’ll have an executive ménage à trois this election cycle?
My take is that the chances of getting some hot three-way action in the ‘08 Presidential Election are pretty good if Ron Paul continues to raise cash and interest. See here - Cash Here in flyover America, one can’t drive to the flea market without passing a “Ron Paul for President” sign. With Paul’s independant streak, it is very likely that he’ll end up being the pinch hitter or swingman as it were in the ‘08 Three-Way.
Now if you watch FOX News you wouldn’t even know that Congressman Paul was even running. This is the first hint that he’s dangerous. In the debates that have aired thus far he hasn’t even appeared in the middle of the stage. The podium placement is supposed to be done by lottery, but poor old Ron keeps losing and Rudy, Mitt, and Fred keep winning. Reminds me of the NBA draft lottery.
The funniest thing about the conservative criticism of Paul, is…now I warn you should swallow whatever you’re drinking because if you don’t it’s going to come up through your nostrils…the knock on Ron Paul is that he is TOO Republican. Egad! Apparently, in Limbaugh Land they really don’t want smaller government or true state’s rights. Could you imagine it, poor Georgians would have to put up with Alaska allowing gay marriage.
Pornsters be warned, the three-way does have its downsides beyond the obvious titillating benefits. Before we as voters engage in this potential threesome we need to establish some rules. Here, I have taken the rules for “real” three-ways as described at www.askmen.com and used it as a template or go-by for the ‘08 Presidential Threesome Rules of Engagment.
Rule 1: Determine if you’re really into three-ways or if the fantasy is better left unrealized. You know that once we take something out of fantasy land and bring into to broad daylight, the light tends to expose the unintended ugliness. Does the name Howard Dean ring a bell?
Rule 2: Establish the boundaries with your current party, i.e. what kinds of stuff can you do with or for the potential third candidate without offending your long-term party.
Rule 3: Be as patient & giving as you can. You may think that because you’re in a three-way Presidential Election Year that you’ll be getting 100% of the attention. Nothing could be further from the truth as each party is really in this for their own pleasure. Instead of focusing on your needs, focus on the needs of the other two parties.
Just remember, in a three-way election year, whatever attention your issues get from the candidates is a treat. Don’t go into the three-way election thinking that two or perhaps all of the candidates are going to pleasure you all the time. Just sit back relax and enjoy the moment, because it and you may never come again.
The way Politiporn sees it, if you’re a Democrat, the more the merrier! But, if you’re married to the GOP, inviting Ron Paul into your electoral bed may be your last chance at getting some strange.
Please note that Politiporn is not giving an endorsement to Ron Paul, but it’s really hard to say that we wouldn’t want some hot three-way action in 2008. I’ll get the lube and falafel, while you put the E.L.O. CD in the stereo. Don’t bring me down…
