I get it, but... I don't think it's really funny. I mean. You had to explain it.
But you've "got it" now, doncha, fargle?

Yeah, but the point remains: If you have to explain a joke, it's not funny.
Personally, I think the exercise, which is basically "demonizing your opponent rather than discussing the issues" is doomed to be unsatisfying, and given that as a starting point, you're only going to preach to the choir.
e.g.: "Big Government". No one is FOR Big Government. A lot of people just think that 20 Billion a year would be better spent on a space program than airconditioning National Guard troops in Afghanistan when they SHOULD just be doing their weekend-a-month-and-two-weeks-a-year.
Until THOSE hard choices are confronted ( doomed-adventures-in-occupation vs. feeding American children... ) and the discussion is always spun as "No New Taxes", then resolving the issues will remain an umet goal.
