A Trekkies' Analysis of the Election - Its The Vulcans versus The Klingons

[Median Democrat]

If I were casting a star trek movie, I would cast John McCain as a Klingon and Barack Obama as a Vulcan.

Obama:

Vulcan Quote: "I wait until his own illogic overwhelms him."

<>



McCain:

Klingon Quote: Act and you shall have dinner. Think and you shall be dinner.

1. Vulcans vs Ferengi.

[Kaylee]

7. I think that is a more apt comparision....nt.

[Median Democrat]

11. Well, you need an image and a quote...GOP attitudes toward women are like Ferengi

Preferrably a Ferengi that looks like McCain.

[cynatnite]

2. The repukes campaign like Romulans, though. n/t

[rawtribe]

3. Vulcans v Pakleds

We're smart.

[BumRushDaShow]

18. Those are Mooselini's base!

We look for things. Things that make us go. :rofl:

[Chovexani]

4. Wow that's pretty insulting

Klingons are honorable, after all, and brave. They don't believe in sending others to fight their own battles. The Duras Sisters never shot anything from a damn helicopter, I can tell you that much. :P

And I also would not be so quick to compare Obama to a Vulcan, if you knew anything about Vulcans in canon. Spock and Tuvok were exceptions to a very condescending and elitist rule.

[cynatnite]

5. The Duras sisters got into bed with the Romulans.

:P

[Median Democrat]

8. Cindy McCain and Sarah Palin and John Mccain...

The Duras Sisters and their proposed heir to the throne.

[Chovexani]

16. I would say they're more like Cardassians

They've got that same predatory streak and blind nationalism going on. Not to mention the Orwellian nature of their government and joke of a legal system.

[cynatnite]

17. They seem more like Romulan to me...

but they do have the same Cardassian militaristic nature.

[Bucky]

21. And all of you seem like a bunch of dorks to me.

:hide:

[Median Democrat]

22. Nah, The Star Wars Fans and Comic Book Fan boys Are The True Dorks...

But hey, this is the Democratic Party. We have a big tent.

;)

[Bucky]

23. No, we don't have a big tent

Not compared to Dick Cheney, anyway. No one outpitches the Angler's big top circus venue.

[Chovexani]

13. Now there's a mental image

:evilgrin:

[BumRushDaShow]

19. Tuvok was a pure Vulcan as opposed to Spock

so they aren't really comparable per canon. The so called "condescending and elist" meme was Brannon Braga bullshit.

[cynatnite]

20. Tuvok was the most sarcastic Vulcan ever...

He'd get the vote for condescending from me. Elitist...nope.

[ebdarcy]

6. Gotta disagree. Klingons have honor. Plus they fight their own battles.

And if a Klingon says he's going to whup your ass, you should probably believe him.

[Love Bug]

10. Unless you are Worf, who always seemed to get his ass kicked

[Cleita]

12. You are right. The Klingons are too honorable. I think the

McCain/Palin side are more like the Borg. "Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated."

[Chovexani]

14. The Borg, or especially annoying Ferengis.

:P

[WolverineDG]

15. I'm with you

Klingons have honor. The rabid righties don't. It's more like Vulcans v. Romulans at this point.

9. Star Fleet vs. Cardassians. Klingons have honor and loyalty.
