 A little long,,but sooooo true,,lol

 THIS IS A NONPARTISAN JOKE THAT CAN BE ENJOYED BY
 BOTH PARTIES!

 NOT ONLY THAT? IT IS POLITICALLY CORRECT!!

 While walking down the street one day a US senator
 is tragically hit by a
 truck and dies. His soul arrives in heaven and is
 met by St. Peter at the
 entrance. "Welcome to heaven," says St. Peter.
 "Before you settle in, it
 seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high
 official around these parts,
 you see, so we're not sure what to do with you."

 "No problem, just let me in," says the man."

 â?oWell, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher
 up. What we'll do is
 have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven.
 Then you can

choose where
 to spend eternity."

 "Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in
 heaven," says the senator.

 "I'm sorry, but we have our rules." And with that,
 St. Peter escorts him to
 the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.
 The doors open and he
 finds himself in the middle of a green golf course.
 In the distance is a
 clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his
 friends and other
 politicians who had worked with him.

 Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. \
 They run to greet him,
 shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times
 they had while getting
 rich at the expense of the people. They play a
 friendly game of golf and
 then dine on lobster, caviar and champagne. Also
 present is the devil, who
 really is a very friendly guy who has a good

time
 dancing and telling jokes.
 They are having such a good time that before he
 realizes it, it is time to
 go.

 Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves
 while the elevator rises.
 The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on
 heaven where St Peter
 is waiting for him. "Now it's time to visit heaven."
 So, 24 hours pass with
 the senator joining a group of contented souls
 moving from cloud to cloud,
 playing the harp and singing. They have a good time
 and, before he realizes
 it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.
 "Well, then, you've
 spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now
 choose your eternity."

 The senator reflects for a minute, then he
 answers: "Well, I would never
 have said it before, I mean heaven has been
 delightful, but I think I would

 be better off in hell."

 So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he
 goes down, down, down to
 hell. Now the doors of the elevator open and he's
 in the middle of a
 barren land covered with waste and garbage. He sees
 all his friends,
 dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it
 in black bags as more
 trash falls from above. The devil comes over to him
 and puts his arm around
 his shoulder.

 "I don't understand," stammers the senator.
 "Yesterday I was here and there
 was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster
 and caviar, drank
 champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now
 there's just a wasteland
 full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What
 happened?"

 The devil looks at him, smiles and says, "Yesterday
 we were
 campaigning...... Today

you voted."
