shouldn't we prevent those men from voting because they have shit for brains? Is it any wonder we're in so many messes in this nation if idiots are allowed to decide elections?

1. Perhaps we could use some sort of IQ test or literacy test to weed out the idiots
Oh wait, nevermind.

5. I don't like it either
but I also read what the raging assholes say in this nation and, frankly, I'm about out of hope.

I guess it's like rome... people drank leaded wine, went stupid and lost their republic and then empire. c'est la vie.

It's just a sign of my frustration (and a little bit of silliness) that America stands where it does today because people wanted to have a beer with Bush and want to have some bush from Palin.

3. Universal suffrage must include all idiots. Our only hope is to get out the smart vote.

6. You can't disenfranchise stupid people
An alternative: allow only extremely ugly non-drinkers to stand for election.

7. how about we have voting machines that verify actual votes?
maybe we'd find out there aren't as many stupid people in this nation as we thought. The truth seems to be that the electoral college and gerrymandering have set us up for stupid. the blue state/red state map hasn't really changed. Obama wins as it now stands, but we all know Rove is a master ratfucker and he will cheat to "win" yet again if people don't demand accountability at the polls.

15. of course it should
Edited on Wed Sep-03-08 01:48 PM by RainDog
but I haven't read nearly the number of "oh, Palin is so hot, let me pull the voting lever with my dick" remarks from females.

As Samantha Bee noted, however, we're all girls in the hood now and we can all get down on our vagina votes. what do I care what Palin's stances are when she has a pleasure pouch?

oops. forgot the link. must be because I'm female.

-- her part doesn't happen until late in the ep, but it's a good one... ideological opposite but GYNECOLOGICAL twins. vote vagina in 2008!

I think we need a tee for the vagina vote with Palin peeking out of a clitoral hood.. "girls in the hood 08."

9. Men alone didn't put Bush in office. Idiocy is found in all genders.

11. Can I just say I'd rather have a beer with Obama and Biden?
We'd probably have an awesome conversation about everything from politics to sports to philosophy, shoot some pool, toss a few back, it would be fun.

If I had a beer with George W. Bush, he'd show me that he was dumber than a sack of hammers, then he'd get sloppy drunk, hit on the waitresses, puke all over the floor, get thrown out by the bouncers, then I'd have to drag him home, or just let him sleep it off in the gutter.

If I had a beer with John McCain, he'd get pissed off the first time some random guy looked at him funny, start a big brawl in the bar, then all of us would be spending the night in jail.

If I had a beer with Sarah Palin, first she'd drive me batshit trying to convert me to snake-handling Pentacostal Christianity, then she'd change into an extra short miniskirt, start flirting with every guy in the bar, then have one too many, pass out, then I'd have to find a way of getting her home without looking like I took advantage of her.

Even on the "person I'd rather have a beer with" criteria, Obama and Biden win!

16. Just remember...
...you can educate yourself about all the issues all you want, research the words and deeds of all the major candidates, really commit to being a responsible citizen who will make an informed choice in the election...and some guy who doesn't know anything except that McCain reminds him of the old crank he kvetches with at his local bar and that he wouldn't mind bagging Palin will have his vote count just as much as yours. Hopefully. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will count for more with the way these machines seem to have been rigged the last few times.
