The Democrats in Congress today announced a new "War on Payment," joining the "War on Terror," "War on Drugs," "War on Poverty," "War on War," and the lesser known "War on A-Bunch-Of-Other-Stuff-That-Makes-A-Complete-Mocke ry-Of-The-Horror-That-War-Really-Is." Democrat leaders say that Payment is a looming threat to American peace and prosperity and that we must all work together to eliminate it before everyone runs out of money with which to pay for things.
President Bush has embraced the War on Payment, hoping to capitalize on its rising popularity. Some of the more conservative members of the Republican party, however, are worried that the President has again forgotten which party he is in. One party official, who has requested anonymity, has stated: "What does that idiot think he's doing? This War on Payment is nothing more than Marxism! I'm going to vote for Gore in the next election--at least I know what side he's on!"
Some Democrats have admitted to confusion over the President's emphatic support but are happy with it, however confusing it may be. Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) said, "I'm very pleased with the President's selling out, I mean, cooperation on this issue as I was pleased with the work we did together on the education bill last year. The President really is quite a fine turncoat! I mean, uh, visionary. Yeah! that's it! Visionary!"
