Springfield, November 1 ° of 2008-UPI. If the presidential choices in the United States were today, practically the victory of John Sidney McCain III would be assured. At least this is collected of the last surveys published today by the principal North American mass media, after the spontaneous meeting of the republican candidate with an enigmatic personage, the one who these days has monopolized the attention of the public opinion. He is Don Puppet the Bricklayer, or Títere, el Mampostero, since he is known in Latin circles.
In agreement with confidential information obtained by the campaign republican and given yesterday sole right to the prestigious diary The New York Times, Puppet, of Colombian origin, would have joined ten years ago to The United States for the Big Rio, and nowadays it he would be managing it " green card " to be able to be employed legally as worker of the construction at the country of the north.
Nevertheless, the reputation of Don Puppet the Bricklayer began only the evening of last Monday, the 27th of October, when the manager of sedates policy of the senator John McCain in this city requested, Internet route, the services of an experienced bricklayer, to repair the enormous cracks that have come appearing in his campaign, from Joe the Plumber's hydraulic and sanitary intervention (or Jose, el Fontanero, since he is known in Latin circles).
Don Puppet the Bricklayer was the first one (and the only one) in filling the format of acceptance to do the local repairs to the republicans, for what, minutes later, the own limousine of the candidate McCain happened to gather it to his residence for such a effect.
Everything previous had slipped by, of not being because, before initiating his labors of repair and re-recovers of walls, one stumbled Puppet abreast with John McCain, who causal was visiting sedate her in this moment. The worker took advantage of the butt to do an alone question to the presidential aspirant:
- Hey, mister John, since you think to handle the topic of the wet ones?
To what the candidate answered:
- Fodder that the solutions simple are the best. For the case, the best way of helping the wet ones is to give them white, very dry towels. Many white dry towels. Very simple, not?
Unlike his advisers of image, simple McCain never imagined the positive impact that this his response would have on the electorate. Eleven spread the incident for the scullery of press of his campaign, innumerable messages of support have flooded McCain's web site, up to the point of blocking it.
The Latin, undocumented community or not, it has been the first one in understanding that resident treats himself about a hand stretched opposite to the situation of illegality of thousands of Latin people in that one country. Dry white towels it can be understood as the will of a white government, directed by the republicans, which would wash the situation of the wet ones, to make it dry.
Immediately afterwards, the black community of the whole nation, across his numerous anti racist and pro-African organizations, they have demonstrated in block his moved and conditional support to McCain, since they interpret in his of lukewarm water to solve the problem of the Latin people, McCain as president would leave of side to the Latin minority, to direct all his attention to the care of the black brothers. The conditioning is that the towels given by the federal government are black, and not white.
The reaction of the ultra right-wing sectors was not made wait. Active members of the KKK, of the American TFP, of the Neo-Nazism, and of the Bushismo (Anglo-Saxon version of the Uribismo), have joined his voices to exalt John Sidney as the president who " once and for all will put the house in order, making the immigrants dry, and putting in the place adapted to the blacks, unlike the candidate Obama, who aspires to blacken our dream.
In turn, the representatives of the American indigenitudes, ethnic minority that originally was populating the coarse territory of the north, has indicated that his community feels represented by McCain, since the white towels symbolize, like his own pipe, the peace.
- A towel gives to dry off to the wet one, to be similar, to be almost equal, that to give a whiff to the pipe to say that neighbors morenitos to be welcome " - affirmed leaned Bull, spokesman indigenist.
Finally, the environmental sectors have demonstrated his immense expectation for knowing if the towels that McCain offers are made by fibers 100 natural %, and which would be the destination of these, once used in the dried one of the wet ones. Of a managing be demonstrating adequately sustainable and amicably by the ecosystem, the American Green party would support directly McCain's candidacy.
If the historical decision to choose for the first time as president of the major world power to a black or to a hero of war environmentalist is in hands of this undecided movement, the luck is indisputably on behalf of the Panamanian, that is to say of John Sidney McCain III.
And there is that Don Puppet the Bricklayer has presented this evening the towel offered by McCain, where it is possible to read clearly in the etiquette: " Not inflammable. 100 % cotton. Not allergic, recyclable material. It's does not contaminate. Sustainable environment. The Ecology Lives Trade Mark. " As whom it says, the fabric bears everything. McCain, president.
It is such is the commotion achieved by the
article of drying, that from coast to coast, the country remained speechless before the appearance in David Letterman's Late-show of the lady Sarah Palin, McCain's vice presidential formula, and cousin relates of the Colombian journalist Judith Sarmiento, illuminating a white towel and nothing more. Spokesmen of his own party went forward to labelling the act as immoral and scolded with the good customs. Nevertheless, the surveys showed favouritism this night for Palin versus Joseph Biden, his democratic opponent.
Who the democratic contenders are not not satisfied at all with the incidental sound. The own Barack has suggested that Don Puppet the Bricklayer is another personage fictitious and prefabricated by the advisers of Mac Cain, in his strategy of using the dirty war to support a republican white man giving orders in the White House. The speaker of the republicans has denied incisively the species of which it is a question of a conspiracy planned from a country allied of Of the government Bush, for which one would have possessed the help of a diplomat in exercise.
