CHABLIS DEMOCRAT, CHARDONAY REPUBLICAN AND STEEL BEER INDEPENDENT
2/4/08
I was listening to a news commentor last weekend as he described the two types of Democrats in Connecticut. I’m sure they are everywhere , but the commentator cited Connecticut as the home of the Chablis Democrat. Connecticut is receiving a lot of attention recently from the presidential candidates before Super Tuesday. Hillary, Obama , and McCain made campaign stops in Connecticut last weekend, looking for donations and support from the Chablis crowd. Wealthy Republicans prefer Chardonay.
The two types of Democrats that the commentator mentions were the Chablis Democrats of Fairfield County, and the “run of the mill” blue collar Democrats. I thought the comparison was offensive, though I’m a registered Independent. I guess a” Chablis Democrat” is a registered Democrat who makes over $250,000 per year , but the commentator must of been a “run of the mill” Democrat since Chablis is a generic term. Personally I’m a ” Beer Independent.” I prefer most beer to wine, and I tend to favor domestic beer to foreign beer. There is actually one beer I enjoy serving more than any other ; that is STEEL beer. It’s high gravity beer , brewed in Texas, 8.1% alcohol. It comes in a siver can with 211 on it. 211 is the alchemical number for steel. It is modestly priced at $5.99 a 12 pack . Well known in the “run of the mill” circles . Two 12 oz. STEEL beers will bring out the beast (or best) in anyone.
Any Democrat that drinks a couple STEEL beers will start up his own political party. If he drinks three or more he’ll become a confirmed Independent; because no party will want him or her. In fact I’ve been thinking about starting a STEEL political party for all the Democrat, and Republican party members; who can’t stand their own party, or whose party can’t stand them. A STEEL PARTY member would be the most independent politically minded American in the United States. Tough, brave, outspoken, ready to defend his views; and the Constitution of the United States at all costs. No wimps in the STEEL PARTY. Gender or sexual preference doesn’t matter. In the STEEL PARTY we don’t care about that sort of thing. As long as it’s legal, and doesn’t hurt anyone, and it’s done behind closed doors, we’re all for it. Everyone in the STEEL PARTY would be one of the friendliest people anyone would ever want to meet. We may be independently minded , but our motto would be , everyone gets a chance to be heard. Make sense, and we’ll take you seriously. If you don’t make sense, we’ll understand you might be having a bad day.
So anyone who is fed up with politics as usual and wants to start up a new political party, let me know. Send me a message, or write your message at the Steel Edge Forum, and sign off as a STEELIAN. STEEL PARTY MEMBER. Have a good week.
L.A. STEEL
