News Reports - Decision 1776
Philadelphila - The campaign took a decided nasty turn today when the Continental Congress declared the independence of the colonies from Great Britain. Congressional spokesman Thomas Jefferson declared, "King George must not be allowed to rule any longer, his term is up. He's only king because he comes from wealth and privilege and his father was king. Kings are supposed to rule by divine right, but we have good evidence that G-d was deliberately kept from voting in that election. King George is insane, out of control, and destroying the liberties of the people. We choose the decorated veteran George Washington to lead us."
Thomas Paine added a note on the personalities of the two candidates, "King George supported the French and Indian War, but did he fight in it, no. His Father got him a cushy appointment in London. George Washington fought verily well in that war, he's a brave leader suche as we need in these troubled times. King George has the empire involved in fighting on the other side of the world in India. He claims that sending our tax dollars for the war in India protects the colonies. We could use that money at home for the goode healthe of the people."
A counterpoint on the candidates was issued by town crier Rupert Foxxe, who stated, "Hear ye, hear ye, The coward Washington is a traitor threatening the security of the colonies. I happen to have heard from a group of veterans who marched many miles in the French and Indian wars that Washington's record is exagerrated. These 'Veterans who are swift of boot' say Washington barely fought in the war and did not in fact distinguish himself. He also takes money from the French to fight our g-d given King George. So he fights the French in one decade and takes their money the next, he be a horrible flopper and flipper, as well as a French lover. They doth say he even looks French. And that Martha Washington is said to be too outspoken for her own good, unlike the quiet queen who probably won't even be mentioned in history books. Only King George has the foresight to keep the colonies safe by maintaining large forces in India where curries of spicy destruction are manufactured daily and the heathens will not eat of g-d's delicious cow."
