Barr Sues Over McCain's, Obama's Presence on Texas Ballot
corbettw writes "Bob Barr, the Libertarian Party's nominee for president, has filed a lawsuit in Texas demanding Senators John McCain and Barack Obama be removed from the ballot after they missed the official filing deadline."
I prefer my political parties to be of the third dimension.
Expect a huge amount of write-ins for "Stephen Colbert."
"Favour"? You seem to have already seceded.
I bet you a dollar that Colbert would beat Bob Barr by an order of magnitude!
Although he might lose to the Mythbuster fans. His picture looks like a cross between Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage. :-)

I'm also in favor in Texas seceding. Please, go away on your own, or else we'll give you back to Mexico.

Can you talk about 250 million others into thinking the same as you? If you can just convince them to pass a little bit of legislation making it an official right of ours, I'll help lead the charge for us to separate. I think it would be in our best interest, especially if we can gain most favored nation status pending our departure. I'll then propose that we conquer your so called Mexico by force, as the Union forces once did, but we won't give it back. Then we'll be able to sell you oil at open market prices and profit like mad.
Mad I tell you, MAD!!!!!
Bwah hah ha ha ha!
But seriously, only about 250 Million others should swing the vote enough. Start canvassing. I'll start arming our populace. Oh look, I'm nearly done. Your move.
2^3 * 31 * 647
The rule of law would be nice, wouldn't it?
Don't piss off The Angry Economist
Maybe he is one of the people you guys refer to as "You Aussies", or one of those British folks. Them and us and our whacky spelling. I mean, we should be telling the English how to spell in English right?

Better to just make it the top two, it's similar and eliminates unnecessary choices for people to just throw their vote away on...
If America were interested in civilization, we'd be a Commonwealth State and not the United States (with Virginia and Connecticut being Commonwealths in and of themselves).
You could join the Commonwealth if you wanted. Find some English expat, have him swear and Oath of Fealty to HRH Queen Elizabeth II and then you can all sign an Oath of Fealty to him. All land will be collective and as serfs you will be expected to work for the collective six days per week.
I'd be willing to come over and act as Lord, once we can get details like droit de seigneur sorted out.

Don't forget the KY? Just what are you planning here, exactly?
and before the grammar nazis attack, I see the missing apostrophe.

What would you suggest as a replacement ?
A big ol' yes/no for each candidate ? Tally them up, and whoever gets the most "Yes" answers wins ?
That would be slightly more equitable than the current system, but it'd be hell to tally up, especially considering half the country can't count, and the other half is tallied by Diebold machines :P

Participation in the United States political process.
We're gonna need it.
I think you're grossly underestimating the power of the Die Hard movies, particularly when combined with a populace that's more concerned with entertainment than politics. John McClane for president!
I'm definitely voting for the Osama Hussein / Joe Bin Laden ticket in '08!
Wait... KY is civilized?
