Two Ring Political Circus

I have never witnessed such an interesting presidential election. I am comparing it to a two ringed circus and the greatest show on earth. All the complex issues have finally been dropped. Imagery is all that is counts. Now we can just sit back and enjoy the show without over taxing our brains. Let us now enter the circus tent and watch the greatest entertainers on earth perform.

In one circus ring there is a handsome and captivating orator entertaining us with inspirational words. His poetry is soothing and hypnotizing. Cleverly It is directed at those of us that are weary of life's upward struggle. He is speaking about a land of milk and honey and the faith to lead us across the river Jordan to that promised land. His magnetism is so powerful that those of us that hear his words will even follow him through the gates of hell. Thoughts of the Pied Piper of Hamelin comes to my mind but this speaker does not need a flute.

In the second ring there sits a woman on a snowmobile surrounded by her large family. In front of them stands an old man waving a pistol and shouting. His words were hard to understand but it was about something that happened to him fifty years ago. The display was so interesting to look at that I stopped listening to the inspirational orator and wanted to find out what was going on. The woman on the snowmobile got up to speak. She spoke about building an oil pipeline that would keep me warm in the winter. All she wanted was my vote to get the oil flowing. She also introduced the audience to her interesting family. I loved the whole show.

On my way home I thought about the great circus show and the two rings. They were both entertaining and it was hard to pick which one I enjoyed the most. I liked the lady on the snowmobile because of her offer to build a pipeline to keep me warm. But being a person who has an upward struggle in life the inspiration of the orator was also important and more enjoyable. I thought he was the most eloquent speaker in the circus. The old guy waving the gun should not be left out, he deserves an honorable mention.
