Talking Careful With Voting!

An US citizen just shared this one with me,
wants to share with you now too!

Quote:
A powerful senator dies after a prolonged illness. 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 senator. "Well, 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 club 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 attire. They run to greet him, hug him, 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 and caviar. 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 big
hug 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 head of state 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." He reflects for a minute, then the senator answers, "Well, I would never have said it, 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 is 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. The
Devil comes over to him and lays his arm on his neck.
"I don't understand," stammers the senator. "Yesterday I was here and
there was a golf course and club and we ate lobster and caviar and danced and
had a great time. Now all there is, is a wasteland full of garbage and my
friends look miserable." The Devil looks at him, smiles and says, "Yesterday we were
campaigning...Today you voted for us!"
VOTE WISELY THIS COMING ELECTIONS!!
