Maybe Democracy is a bad idea
       I have two mid-terms and a presentation this week. (Had two presentations but one of them has been re-scheduled mercifully).

       In other news, Mitt Romney received 18% of the votes in the Washington State caucus held on the 9th. (Mitt Romney withdrew from the race on about the 6th.)

I'm sorry you are stressed love. **Strokes your hair**

I believe people vote for folks who have withdrawn from the race to try and make a point about the issues that matter to them. At the caucus I was at, Gavel, Kuccinich (spelling is probably off there), and Edwards had supporters who were wanting to try and force Clinton and Obama to be more 'progressive' by maintaining their votes for these them. I'm not sure I agree with their tactics, but...I get why they're doing it.

If there's anything good about this election it's

a) On the liberal side, people like Kucinich and Paul are actually forcing Democrats to act like Democrats instead of centrist Republicans.

b) On the Republican side, the only one considered electable is the one that the Limbaugh types don't consider to be a Republican.

c) The Huckabee-style whackjobs who really believe the planet is 6000yrs old and Jews, Gays and Muslims go to hell have been revealed as the abhorrent bigots they are.

Still, I'm pretty cynical. Back in college, one of my stoner-deep-thinker-friends used to say, "No matter who you vote for, Government gets elected." It made sense at the time, then I graduated, but now it almost makes sense again-our candidates all pander so hard they're virtually indistinguishable.

I say we elect more dead people like happened in 2006.

Do you think Paul is liberal? Maybe in terms of his desire to get rid of big-government as he claims.

I like Kucinich (thanks for the correct spelling!), because he's so 'out there' with his support of LGBT folks. Edwards is the one I probably liked the best as he seemed more in line with many of my views, but I'm happy with Obama now. If Clinton gets the nomination, I have no idea who I will vote for as I really just don't like the woman.

Kansas voted Huckafuck in, but we also have Brownback for a Senator; he's the biggest homophobic dumb ass around next to Fred Phelps and his inbred ilk.

Unfortunately, your cynicism is well-grounded. By the way, your Shay is quite lovely. :)

I like Obama; if Clinton gets the nod then I will once again be voting for the lesser of two evils, which I believe to be her as opposed to "we might be in Iraq another 100yrs" McCain. Gah, Brownback. Isn't he about due to get caught soliciting a blowjob in an airport bathroom?

Thanks for the compliment on Shay! I'll tell her it'll make her smile too.

       I don't really like any of the candidates politics. But I think Obama is an amazing, inspiring speaker and leader. And I agree with most of the stuff he says and says he wants. Though, I still don't think an African-American is going to get elected. Unfortunately most of the truly crazy Republicans have been weeded out of the race and so Obama is competing against people who appeal to those swing voters that elected Bush much more than they used to. And those same people are not going to vote for a liberal Democrat. Let alone a black one, I don't think.

       That said, anybody who caucuses for a candidate that has dropped out of the race obviously doesn't understand how the process works. And I'm convinced helps prove the Democracy is a terrible, horrible, unworkable fad, akin to Communism, but without the big gay red banners and charmingly quaint mass executions of intellectuals. Thus, I think the best solution is for us to revert to an Imperial Autocracy. I would like to nominate myself First Emperor. Out of a spirit of giving to my fellow human beings. And a meglomanical desire for absolute power.

       My party platform will be the eradication of nuclear weapons (because black armored death commandos are such a cooler way to kill people), equal lack of rights for all oppressed minorities (including white males) except hot lesbians who will get special privileges as long as they nominate two candidates to switch teams for a brief period of time every year, the institution of a national holiday known as The Imperial Birthday, wherein all public indecency laws will be suspended for 24 hours and Libertarian social and economic policies. I might be persuaded that universal health care is a basic tenet of freedom and I'm pretty certain that the space program needs a kick in the ass and so I would insist that NASA built the starship Enterprise immediately so that intrepid Imperial space explorers could enable me to go where no man has gone before, with hot green alien babes. Because I really think it is atrocious how the space program has been shorted and cast off since the 1960s, not to mention having an inexplicable depth of lust in my heart for hot green alien babes.

So, what do you want to be called? Your Highness? Or just Emperor? I always liked the title of Czar myself--it sounds so sexy. ;)

I'm hopeful that Obama could win in spite of people's aversion to putting a black man in the White House, which I agree with you, is there. I'm hoping that some idiot Republican uses a 'wide stance' in the bathroom again before the election, or gets caught with a prostitute of some kind...I wish I had better legs and money, because I'd gladly be the downfall of one of those self-righteous fuckers. It's for the cause honey, not just because I'm a whore. ;)

One of my co-workers today, a male, said that if Hilary gets voted in, she'll be the last woman in the White House for years and years. I agreed with him.

I would like to nominate myself as your running-mate. Like you, I have a long track record of supporting research into contacting hot alien babes. Ideas I would bring to the platform include:

1) All waxing, laser, and other hair-removal places must offer a sliding scale in order to make smoothness available to all chicks.
2) Feminists will be sent to re-education camps where they will learn to cook, clean, give a decent blowjob, and, most importantly, to shut the fuck up.
3) Times Square will be cleansed of all chain stores and returned to its former glory as the sleaze capital of America.
4) Condoms and sex-education will be freely available to all children regardless of their parents' asinine and antiquated religious beliefs.
5) Nonfat dairy products will be outlawed, on the grounds that they are an abomination against God and Man.

Did I miss anything? Oh, and I promise not to assassinate you to take the top leader spot-not out of fear of the armored death-commandoes, but out of a sincere respect. Plus, you probably look better in a beret than I do, and all revolutionaries need to look good in a hat.

Power to the people! Viva Zapata!

       *rolls* You are definitely appointed campaign manager and chief of the secret police. Who, of course, will all be hot wimins in skintight armored spandex death commando uniforms. Also, due to your wisdom, insight and deep understanding of Right Thinking I think we will have to give you the medal of freedom or some other suitably prestigious award. And, after all, if Karl Rove can get one, for his wack job-ness, your basic appreciation for 'hard wood floors' and rationality should be recognized.;)

Ah well, since I look terrible in spandex, I guess I'll just have to settle on being a naked whore, as usual. Not that I am complaining mind you. ;)
