Poll question: What's the scariest thing going on in Bush's America?
So many low points to choose from! But that's what this country's all about...freedom of choice.

1. The neo-cons own the press
With out the press will keep right on using rigged voting machines.

5. Need more answer possiblities.
There were only 10. I could've given 100 possibilites. Such as

1) Karl Rove distributing anti-gay propaganda in poor African-American neighborhoods.
2) Bush appoints monsters to the National Labor Relations Board.
3) No more bankrupcy.
4) Let's downsize those student loans.
5) Afghanistan. I know Afghanistan has something to do with something, right? Are we still over there?
6) Abu Ghraib and all the other Iraqi Theatres of Cruelty.
7) Gitmo's Enforced Meditation Camp.
8) Gay bash, gay bash, gay bash.
9) Bush appoints monsters to SCOTUS.
10) FBI reading the dirty text messages I send to my girlfriend's cell phone.

6. I voted for the neocons own the media, but I also think it is power grab
that gets bigger and bigger and bigger.

And that despite that fact, they continue to lie, more or less successfully, about the legality of the power grab and about everything else too.

I wonder if they lie so much that on a lie detector they would never register as lying?

You know, like you can't photograph a witch or werewolf or something.

8. The mainstream press is a disgrace
Does not belong within a democracy, but gets by with just about anything within this plutocracy. Bush & his pals are a bunch of crooked crooks!

9. Wow, no one seems to want to vote to go to prison.
With all the prisons in America, and America being a free country full of choices 'n all, I'd assume lots of folks would choose prison.

12. Man, everyone is so 'touchy' about the media.
It's like "oh" I want accurate information about the world I live in. "Oh, look at me. I'm all, like, democracy is the best. Lies are bad." Stoopid libruls. The media should be fun and interesting and totally sensational and fabulous so that it can sell more papers! That's what business is about, you commies.

And voting machines. So what if they rig the votes. Maybe if you can afford voting machines that rig the election for your team, then maybe you deserve to be able to purchase such a wonderful product. You libruls are always getting in the way of the free market. If one really popular party can buy more expensive equipment, then screw you and your party. I only go where the popular people go. Not the GEEK party of people who are all like "oh, I want fair elections. Oh, look, I'm so smart, I can count!" That's what the POPULAR vote means, stoopids! It means the vote that only the popular crowd gets to make. Like the stockbrokers and cheerleaders and stuff.

And secret prisons. Big deal. If you don't break the law, you don't have anything to worry about, now do you? People who work at the cool jobs and buy all the coolest brands don't have time to break the law or be involved in some terrorist peace group. Get a job, you loosers!

And you have to admit, joking about sticking stuff up handicapped people's butts is way cool. Alito's right. Didn't you ever go to COLLEGE and join a FRAT HOUSE? Or maybe an organization that tries to keep out blacks and women the way Alito did? If you did, you'd know that it is really funny to haze handicapped people, especially mentally handicapped people, especially by threatening rape.

And that hurricane that killed all those people who weren't me. Like our government's failure to build a levy system is our government's fault. Get over it! We'll make the whole area into a resort casino and a corporate convention center. And finally, no blacks! Don't worry, we can hire some white actors and put them in blackface and they can reenact the history of ol' New Orleans in the 9th Ward Mall of America Megaplex and Themepark.

And kidnapping wives. It's not kidnapping. It's inviting her to a military keg party and... alright, so it's kidnapping. So what. We don't usually hurt them, I'm sure.

GET OVER IT, YOU LOOSER MORANS!
