F**CK the issues. Elections should be held like a beauty pageant.

[Robin Hood]

Nobody cares about the damn issues or "Fuzzy" math. So let's just do away with this masquerade of "issues". After all, Elections are now just a popularity contest. It's only a matter of time before we have these monkeys compete in a swimsuit competition. People can then vote for something they know. Like the size of bulges wherever they may be.

Screw the issues. i want my representatives to have large breasts and a big cock, and of course a tight ass too boot. Preferably a movie star or a wanna be cowboy.

You could have the smartest man on earth up there telling us what needs to be done to better our quality of life, but that would be to boring. And who the hell wants to listen to all them fuzzy figures. Nooo, We want someone to feed us stupid one line baseball slogans. We want someone to act out our infantile fantasies of what being king of the universe is all about.

Damn the issues!! I want flesh and lots of it. Yeah, Blah, Blah, blah... World peace and all, yawn... Wake me when the flesh comes out.

Ladies and gentleman, we are now enjoying the fruits of a gutted school system and the dumbing down of America. Enjoy, it only gets worst from here.

1. lol

The only time :) looks would be an issue would be in SGA elections and I am joking about that.

[w4rma]

2. Actually, I think that excess money in politics is at most to blame (n/t)

[JohnKleeb]

3. yeah but looks are legit

as is superficality.

[Robin Hood]

5. Special interest a side.

People don't vote unless it's something they can understand, like tits and ass. After all, Ahnold is winning a popularity contest.

[diamondsoul]

16. Jeez, is that what Kucinich needs?

Just some hot babe hanging on him? Hell I can arrange that!:evilgrin:

[w4rma]

18. Arnold has huge name recognition, big media and a big bank account (n/t)

[Robin Hood]

24. Exactly,

Huge name recognition=popularity contest. We don't know on how he stands on the issues except for vague genralities. Bt people want him because their idiots and think that he is the Terminator. Well, He's not.

4. Beauty? Then Kelsey G. & Dennis M.

[Robin Hood]

6. Edwards for president.

Put him in a speedo. Need I say more.

[eileen_d]

7. Yeah, then put him on a bus

to my house! lol... actually, he probably wouldn't be that cute if the rest of his competition wasn't so "not my type"

[Robin Hood]

8. Aww come on...

You wouldn't kick him out of bed for eating crackers.

[eileen_d]

9. (blush) am i that transparent?

Is it time to admit my fling with {Unnamed Democrat}?

[JohnKleeb]

11. If it were about looks

Draft unnamed cute liberal democrat girl :).

[Robin Hood]

13. Oh what's her name?

Andrea van de heuvel or something like that.

[JohnKleeb]

17. lol shes unnamed

Andrea? Katrina the one who edits the nation I think is who you were talking about, I was just joking around.

[Robin Hood]

20. That's her name,

Here she is being artsy.


And oh so dreamy.

[Robin Hood]

12. Hold on, let me check my microphone.

Ok, go ahead.

[eileen_d]

19. All right.

I had a fling with {Unnamed Democrat} in {Undisclosed Location}. This is according to {Anonymous Source} and was leaked to the press by {Republican Fascist}.

Now I'm going to {Censored by the Department of Justice} and go to bed.

[eileen_d]

[Robin Hood]

23. You can't help but love this place.

Me love you long time DU.

Good night eileen_d.

[w13rd0]

15. You had a fling with {Unnamed Democrat}?

OMG, and she's been winning in polls against Bush too. Just wait till the press gets wind of this...

[tjdee]

26. Yes you do.

Edwards has some excellent proposals, and he's not Mr. Good Looking Empty Head.

:(

[Robin Hood]

27. Now now...

I didn't mean it that way at all. I just meant that he was devilishly good looking. However, he does have good things to add, so why isn't he making more of an impact?

[Sick of Bullshit]

10. The election of 1840 was pretty fucked up, too

William Henry Harrison (and Tyler, too!) versus Martin van Buren. This is the campaign that featured "Keep the ball rolling" gimmicks (Harrison supporters rolling giant balls from town to town) and log cabin-shaped jugs of hard cider being served at Harrison rallies (for the "log cabin and hard cider" candidate). Harrison was a former general who was low on substance and high on style. Van Buren was protrayed as an elitist.

Guess who won that crazy election?

[Robin Hood]

14. Know your history or you are doomed to repeat it.

Looks like there really is nothing new under the sun.

[tjdee]

25. People just hope for the best.

People WANT someone who has it all. Trouble is, if they have good looks/style/whatever, they're willing to assume he has the rest.

It's not the gutted school system. It's the instant gratification and the television era.

Maybe the Harrison election of 1840 was similar, but people were still willing to sit for hours on end to listen to the Lincoln/Douglas debates. Try that now, the candidate is an insta-loser.
