A first(?) thread on 2008: McCain,Giuliani & the Republicans

Hey, how come you get to be Bootsy Collins and I end up David Beckham?

Oh, yeah...

Would you vote for Bill Gates?

I really don't know the man's politics, so I couldn't say. I know he knows how to manage money and lead effectively... which is HUGE.I also know he's probably donated as much as any philanthropist in history. And like Ross Perot, he's among the elite few who could finance his own campaign, painlessly

Hey - that all sounds a lot like George Soros. Can I interest you in a Soros candidature?

Soros cant run.
He isnt a native born US citizen.
He cant run for the same reason Arnold cant run.
You know that.

[But in a 'what if' or 'would you' game it's all in good fun. (And I have to give nimh kudos for picking up on a good line. )

Would you prefer being Bootsy Collins over David Beckham, nimh?

Okay... are you ready for the secret? Forget that silly political mumbo jumbo, we Americans don't care about irrelevant crap like that. The more you poor your heart about issues that really matter to you, the more you bore us to tears. Learn to play an instrument, or make a movie with a monkey! That's how you win our hearts and minds. It all comes down to who do we like more. Yes, that really is all.









Which one of these guys was more likeable? Which guy won?

So save your serious speeches and concerns and pick the most likeable candidate you can find... and then do something useful like smoke a fat one (just don't inhale) or do some lines (just don't admit it) and have some fun! Once you understand what really matters, it should be easy to fill the order. At this juncture; I'll tell you right now; your very best bet would be to put this guy...

...on the fast track. Don't worry about his lack of experience... if you've been paying attention you should realize by now that doesn't really matter. Americans don't care about silly stuff like that.

If you think this post is just a silly joke, start over again at the top and look closely at the pics while pondering the questions that precede them. :wink:

Interesting read <b>Jack Kerouac</b>, but rather bias I'd say. What it doesn't say is the secular left really is attacking the Christian right. Look at all the silly Christmas protests for instance. I have no horse in this race, but pretending this is just some evil plot by the rightwing genius (Rove) is not only silly, but dangerous to the future of the <img> Party.

<img> had better figure out that whining they lost because the religious right is stupid is going to win them no votes next time either. Trying to ban depictions of Christ on His birthday, is probably not a good idea either. Certainly there's some valid church/state separation battles to be fought, but limit the damage by not doing silly stuff... like banning legal documents from classrooms because they mention God. God is on our money. God is something the majority of this country still believes in (believe it or not). God is prominently mentioned in every America Song I can think of. It is a foolish thing to try to remove Him from our traditions at the same time you're trying to win back the Whitehouse.

Most importantly, stop telling yourself and others that it's the religious fools that elected Bush. Those, are minds you will not change. The minds you might be able to change, find the suggestion that they're religious fools rather offensive... whether they're even religious or not. I know, because I am that man. You may have noticed, the near constant derision of Bush voters hasn't exactly been convincing me to second guess my decision. :wink:

There is a way out. Stop attacking things that aren't mission critical for four years, drop the paranoid delusions that we're becoming a theocracy, and find someone that is as likeable as John Kerry wasn't. Has it escaped everyone's notice that the more likeable guy has dominated the office since... well I was pretty young but my guess would be since Nixon... or was he most likeable too? The John McCain crossover has some promise because he's very respected on both sides of the aisle... but he's not really all that likeable. The best thing to do would probably be to fool the <img> into thinking they had the right guy and then steal him at the last minute because he is the best of both worlds. A man who's not afraid to say Merry Christmas AND believes in Stem-Cell research. A man that will scare the bloody B-Jesus right out of the terrorist scum (or should that be into them?).... In other words... you guessed it folks... I'm talking about this man:














Here he comes to save the dayyyyyy!

Hell yeah!! No contest!

But I see that I've become Jack Kerouac now instead. I can live with that

Hey Foxy, here's my likeability evidence from February 7, 2005
