Loved the make-believe but believable scenario your post delivers. Its exactly that type of thing that scared me enough to launch the Warning Labels On Politicians™.
Warning labels already appear on drugs, cigarettes, pesticides and other items that can negatively impact a person’s health and well-being. So why not require similar warnings on members of society who have proven themselves as dangerous – or more dangerous – than many items that already carry such labels – politicians!
Through the Warning Labels On Politicians™ effort, I'm calling on politicians from across the political spectrum to be “transparent” with voters and agree to display warning labels on all literature, signage and advertising related to their campaigns.
First on my list are two U.S. senators, Hillary Clinton of New York and John McCain of Arizona. I’m calling on Senators Clinton and McCain to serve as examples for politicians at all levels of government, since they are, after all, their party frontrunners for the White House in 2008.
If they want to be viewed as honest, upfront and transparent, politicians will agree to place warning labels on all materials related to their campaigns.
To date, warning labels have been prepared in advance for Clinton, McCain and a number of other politicians expected to launch 2008 White House bids.
The list of “labeled” politicians thusfar includes Democrats John Edwards, John Kerry, John Murtha, Barack Obama and Tom Vilsack as well as three other Republicans Newt Gingrich, Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney.
Two others, though not expected to run for the White House, also earned warning-label recognition: Nancy Pelosi, the first female ever elected to serve as Speaker of the House; and Sen. Harry Reid, who will begin serving as Senate majority leader in January.
As additional candidates surface on the national stage, more warning labels will be created.
