It's Over Gandalf. We Need to Unite Behind Saruman to Save Middle Earth from Sauron!

[virtualobserver]

The wisest, most qualified and most experienced candidate to rule Middle Earth.

We need to stop saying nasty things about Saruman or it will be difficult to rally the people of Middle Earth to his side. Here are some things we should no longer mention, or if we do, we should put a positive spin on them so people will still see Saruman is our only hope.

Saruman’s Environmental Record: While it is true that Saruman has supported clear cutting huge ancient forests, and while an old hippie tree hugger like Treebeard might tell you lots of those trees were his friends, we ARE talking about trees here. And sure, Gandalf has a much better record on the environment but he’s done now. It’s time to focus on how much worse Sauron’s environmental record is. I mean, have you seen Mordor?
Saruman’s Being in League With the Dark Lord: Okay, okay. It’s true. Saruman did go to Sauron’s wedding. But that was a LONG time ago when Sauron still had both eyes. And fake hair. It’s also true that Saruman may have promised to do the dark lord’s bidding and to find the ring of power and give it to Sauron. But c’mon! You know Saruman was just doing that because he plans to ultimately betray Sauron after he’s done betraying us!

2. Wait, isn't dkos in "GE mode" after 3/15? I thought they went all in for Saruman. Very entertaining!

Seriously though, we know Saruman has some good in him, after all, he was buddies with Gandalf originally, and is not as bad as Sauron.

3. Gandalf should throw himself into the Crack of Doom.

Not sure why, but it's being demanded.

6. It's pretty obvious

This is directly showing why supporting Hillary is to support non-democratic values. But DU is rapidly becoming a "safe place" for Hillary supporters.

9. The Hillary Hide Patrol was recently enlarged by a very generous "pardon".

It's a subtle way to tip the scales...
