I'll just be glad when this whole stupid thing is over. I'm so sick of all of the election coverage.
I look forward to seeing who won the election sometime in late December.
Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.
Let's do some unscientific polling.

Can I vote for the judges who will decide this election instead?
Don't worry. All of these stories will go away after the election and subsequent four-week recount and 2 month healing period. :P

I agree. I would mod you up but I am only voting once this week.
People who bite the hand that feeds them usually lick the boot that kicks them
the reason they added a politics section is so you could add it to your filter list
love is just extroverted narcissism
if you're just voting because someone told you to, please don't vote.
Unless they told you to vote against Bush. Then it's OK!

Here's a better way to vote. Those of you supporting Kerry slit your wrists. Those of you supporting Bush shoot yourselves in the head. We'll count the classify the corpses accurately. Honestly. We will. Really.
Reason magazine had the best cover. It showed a picture of Bush and one of Kerry. The cover said, "Good news. One of these guys is going to lose. Bad news. One of these guys is going to win."
Keep drinking the Kool-aid, folks. Hopefully the ELE asteroid is coming soon to put an end to all this.
Go ahead. Mod me flamebait while marking the "BushKerry is a poopiehead who wants to eat my baby/kitten/grandma" posts as +99 Insightful.

Why vote for a lesser evil?
Mod down posts with a "Free Mac Mini/iPod" sig, they're spam!
So if you don't like the two Puny Human Candidates, vote for HULK since the Big Green Guy is running for President!

What we don't believe in is pandering to a special interest. Unless of course that special interest produces results.
We will also distinguish ourselves from other parties in deliberately NOT taking a stand. We have no axe to grind about this or that issue. We are really only concerned with providing you, the taxpayer, with a quality product.

And evil will always win, because good is dumb!
No he didn't.

"I think this line is mostly filler"
I sometimes advocate that all laws be written in COBOL, not lisp. Think of the benefits. More tech jobs for old techies. Machine executable. And with development cycles what they are, less laws. Maybe we could also retire some of the worse politicians, since they cannot say anything that would make sense to a computer. Might eliminate some lawyers from office too. But maybe lisp would be better.
