What was our alternative? A doubletalking wind up doll up to his ears in Clinton slime? A tree-hugging socialist twink? A bunch of other guys nobody's ever heard of in their entire lives (I voted for one of them)?

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2003-06-23 12:54am

Exactly. While some might not think that Bush was the best choice for a president, he was the best out of what we had to choose from.

But I'm happy with him.

And I should remind you that he's not your president...

I'm actually a little more worried about the people who thought he was the best choice, period.

Last time I voted I refused to put in a vote for any Republican or Democratic candidate.

Joe · Post by **Joe** » 2003-06-23 01:12am

The 2000 election was a funny one. It had the liberals wondering how the conservatives could support a bumbling moron with about as much grasp on the English language as Buckwheat, and had the conservatives wondering how the liberals could support a lying, patronizing robot who had just about no principles on anything.

That's because you didn't have your control experiment. Try this: Start recording all the things YOU say on a daily basis. I betcha that, over the same time period, your list is bigger than Dubby's.

Fuck the lying spawn of a warcriminal*. I voted for McCain.

Bullshit. First of all, there are plenty of other famous people who do not say this many stupid things. Second of all, I, for one, would not yield nearly such a large list, and that's no joke. I simply think about what it is I'm going to say before I say it, especially if I'm going to say it in front of an audience.

Now, I'm not trying to say that GW is some sort of retarded monkey or anything; I understand that some people fumble with their words when they're speaking in public. I'm just sick and tired of people trying to apologize for him by saying that he's just like anybody else, because that's simply not true. There are plenty of people, especially those in public positions, who do not have this amount of trouble with communicating their thoughts.

Personally, while I find "Bushisms" rather amusing, I'm not too concerned with them. He certainly isn't the smartest president we've ever had, but that's not news. He's obviously not mentally retarded, either, and that's all I ask.

Another thing I don't like people complaining about is the whole "Gore is a robot" argument. Who fucking cares what his personality is like? We're not electing the captain of the goddamn Kiwanis club, we're electing a president. His personality has nothing to do with it. Furthermore, there are plenty of things to not like about Gore that actually matter, so why dwell on the absolute most superficial aspect of his character?

Good points, but people always like charming or charismatic presidents, even if they are slimeballs. Clinton and Reagan come to mind. The public is obsessed with the superficial. I think we(the publlic) feel safer if the president is a nice guy, it reassures us that way. See 96' election.

Gore is running in 2008, isn't he? So I assume he thinks that it's practically guaranteed that Bush will win in 2004.

This one made me laugh so hard I think I caused tremors in my building. At last, George, we will establish peace between man and fish, so that we no longer have to live in FEAR of being murdered in our homes by an elite force of Covert Assault Tuna. Let the war end now.

No more war! No more veterans coming back with traumatic stress disorders telling stories like, "Yeah, I was comin' in out of Lake Huron, on a routine spawning bed patrol, when BAM, trout hits the unit from all sides. *sobs* Man, I watched my best friend get choked to death in a kelp trap...It was awful."

I don't know much about him but I do know that before him Iowa had Republican governors constantly at least as far back as the late 1960s.

That's who I wanted too.

I had to settle for the protest vote of Nader. I liked Bush slightly more than Gore but there was no way I was voting for either one of them. So instead of leaving my vote for president blank I decided to go with the third party in hopes that it would do well enough that we'd start getting a few more options in our choices for elected officials.

Obviously that worked real well. Now Nader seems to be as much of a wack job as Perot although at least they are different thinking wack jobs.

I think Gore has thrown in the towel, period. I don't see him running in 2008 (besides, he wouldn't be as attractive of a candidate after giving up on the 2004 election).
