A vote for Bush is... (http://images.ucomics.com/comics/bo/2004/bo040529.gif)
What else is a vote for Bush? Come on...be creative...have fun...for once...:D
-
A vote for Bush is a vote for a man who spends billions of dollars on national security, and then nearly dies on a pretzel.
-
...don't forget the bicycle :D
-
I'm going to be original here and say that a vote for Bush is a vote for a swift(er) end to the American empire.
-
...the same as a vote for Kerry, except Diabold don;t need to 'modify' the machines this time.
-
especially considering Kerry's proposed cabinet. Holbrooke, Albright, with the man herself, Clark, in some sort of consulting position. Its like Clinton never left, all his cronnies are back and itching to show how they too can govern with a total disregard for peace, democracy, self determination and the welfare of the people, both at home and abroad. But empire is such an ugly word, so in typical quasi-Democratic fashion, they give it a more palpatable name; "progressive internationalism".

Rictor: check you PMs

Let's vote for the Libertarian candidate! Admittedly, all I know about him is that he's a computer programmer, but still.
-
[color=66ff00]You genuinely think that the candidate you vote for is the one that's going to get in?
The only candidate that'll win is the one with the backing of the money and the one that's most manipulatable. It's democracy; the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
Best scam ever.

The Libertarian Party chickened out and elected the wrong candidate. Instead of picking a real antiwar voice, that of Aaron Russo, they elected some unknown so-and-so. Libertarian Jackass, a Libertarian weblog, suggested a grand idea a few weeks ago. They suggested that the LP team up with Nader to dominate the third-party vote, and give the two-part system a run for its money. With Nader as the main candidate and the Libertarian candidate as his running mate (and VP, should the unthinkable happen), this coalition would get on all the state ballots, and would be assured a place at the debates. I don't know if you can picture this, but if you were to put Nader in the same room as Bush and Kerry, it would be a massacare. One can't put together a proper sentence, and the other has no values to speak of. They'de get ripped apart.
There is no real antiwar vote, so the legions of disenfranchised Democrats and Republicans would flock to the Nader/Libertarian camp so quick, it would make your head spin. But, unfortunatly, the Libertarian Party missed it one chance in history to make their move, retreated back into the shadows of the fringe, and so ended that idea.
For God's sake, Pat Buchanan endorsed Nader's candidacy. Pat Freaking Buchanan. He's about as conservative as they get.
Damnit, I swear, if the LP ever elected Justin Raimondo as its candidate and joined up with Nader (and perhaps other independents), I'de apply for American citizenship just so I could vote.
Oh, I've done it again, haven't I? Me and my rants.
-
the guy you vote for may not win but that's not why you vote, at the very least its a protest vote, you can shame people by saying you voted with out haveing to worry about being shamed your self by haveing the person you voted for actualy getting elected and acting like a ****tard
-
I was actually kidding. In reality, the only two who stand a chance of winning are from the major parties, and neither is really competent.
-
What I suggest you do is pick the party which you feel has betrayed you (if any) and vote for a third party of your choice to spoil your vote and make a statement. That'll teach 'em. Liberals complain about how Nader spoiled Gore's presidency in 2000, well damn right he did, the Democrats aren't pulling their weight. And you know what? He'll do it again this election, and the next and the next and the next, until the Dems start doing their job. Or, if you're on the Right and feel disenfranchised, vote Libertarian or Reform Party.
Well, there I go again. I really can't stop myself :D:D

We should just move Rictor to Sweden. Go socialism... w00t. then he could learn to rap and take the country by storm.
"Yo, I'm puttin it down up in sweden
Look for a blonde with no need to be breathin
Livin the life, lookin for the sights to be seein
Stab you with a blunt object and be leavin you bleedin"
Har har har. I should be a ghost writer.
-
you should be a ghost, who IS a writer. Now that would be awesome.
you ever seen the movie The Anarchists Cookbook? There's this guy who is constantly waxing lyrical about how great it is in Sweden (an aging hippy, go figure). In Sweden this, in Sweden that.
"Hey, in Sweden, do you ever shut the **** up?!"
But seriously, I'de rather live somewhere warmer and less bleak. Though I have to say, those Scandinacian chicks ain't half bad.

Check your numbers. The Homeland Security Department only gets an extremely tiny portion of the National Budget.

Importance of bonadage between a mother and her child? OK, I will pretend NOT to have heard that, so that I'll actually be able to, you know, sleep at night, knowing this guy has his finger on the button.
