AN IMMIGRANT STUDIES THE CANDIDATES IN 2004 by KeLP
I come here America years ago, get good job, and this year become American Citizen. Now that I have vote, I decided to study candidates. So when I hear Presidential candidates come to town, I go to rally.
Everywhere big signs with campaign slogan: kerry edwards. They mis-spell carry, I see first thing, for I do very well in English class. I have American friend, he lend me his Superman comics to learn English, made learning very easy. But what mean this edwards? I know you can carry forward, or carry onward, but what carry edwards?
So I listen to speeches. There are two candidates, one name John, I think; I not sure what other one name. Audience seem to call him John, too. Perhaps John title and not name, for I hear people asking "Where is John?" and saying "I have to go to John.", so maybe not name afterall.
Shorter Candidate speaks first. He tells of two Americas, and I wonder, how can be two Americas? Then I remember Superman comics, and second Earth which is Bizarro world. Bizarro world sound like second America where everything is opposite first America. That be how shorter Candidate describes the two Americas, first America of hope and opportunity, and second Bizarro America of despair and desperation.
Audience is Bizarro audience. Candidate says America economy bad. Audience applaud. Candidate says there are no jobs. Audience applaud. Candidate says we losing war on terror. Audience applaud.
Then taller Candidate speak. He talk of repealing tax cuts. He talk of returning to 1990's economy. He talk of repealing part of Patriot Act. He talk of himself in war 30 years ago. And then I understand what edwards is. Edwards is backwards and downward.
These Candidates running for President of Bizarro America. I not want to kerry edwards. I want to carry forward.
I decide to look for other Candidates.
