The most ridiculous reason to vote for *
A friend of mine told me two days ago that he was going to vote for * because his last name is synonymous with the female genitalia, and he is a "big fan of those" and "how can anyone be bad if their name means P&$$Y?"

Well, let me just tell you...I was, and still am, amazed at how dumb that statement was.

I told him so too. He just laughed and restated those two things to me.

He's a young playboy and I just have to roll my eyes at stuff like this. :eyes:

29. I am a Christian...
and I agree... that makes me wanna puke. Shrub uses the "spiritual" when he feels it will get votes and make folks go "awwwwwwwwwwwww"... such a hypocrite! Not judging... "by their fruits, ye shall KNOW them..." pertains. His fruit has been drunkness, warmongering, lying, deceit and...well.. more lying.

4. Is your friend's name "Beavis"?
"Heh heh heh heh...Bush. And Dick. Yeah. That's cool. I'm voting for those guys."

I hope for the sake of humanity that he doesn't breed.

6. LOL
That does sound like Beevis! LOL, maybe we can fix your buddy up with the girl in my algebra class who thinks the Bush's are, like, a royal family.

5. Because his father was president...
That is the reason my little pregnant classmate in my college algebra class thinks she should vote for Shrub..."because his father was president and it's kind of a tradition!" Its doesn't seem to bother this dumb as a stump woman that the Bush Family Tradition is war and recession. And she's pregnant! How can any woman bear a mercury poisoned child, as all our children are these days, and not be pissed!

Edited on Sun Oct-31-04 06:59 AM by ikojo
share an O''Doul's (non alcoholic) beer with and watch the football game.


I COULD CARE LESS WHETHER THE PRESIDENT IS LIKEABLE! I want a man of intelligence AND curiosity about the world around him.

10. Any social issue imaginable... and the beer thing
Basically everyone I've met who plans to vote for Bush is doing so because they don't like the idea of gays/Jews/feminists/communists taking over the nation--because, as everyone knows, Kerry's first official duty as President will be to open the floodgates of LIEberal depravity and perversion on Christ's Favorite Nation. If only these folks knew how they're cutting their own throats.

11. My favorite is
He got us into this mess. He deserves a chance to get us put of it.

As my husband says, it's like saying to a doctor "You screwed up my surgery the first time, so I'll let you try to fix your mistake."

17. Thanks
I've been lurking for a few months and finally jumped in last week. With two pre-schoolers and a job, it's hard to keep up, though. This is the fastest moving site I've ever seen!

12. I think I heard the most ridiculous one
Someone I know said that she was going to vote for Kerry until she heard that Clinton was going to campaign for him! Now (and she's serious) she's going to vote for Bush.

Can you top that?

15. Two words:
Death Tax. I swear on my life I once saw a beaten-to-shit jalopy sporting a "Kill the Death Tax!" sticker right beside the obligatory W'04. Is being informed painful in any way?

16. Maybe people shouldn't be allowed to vote
...unless they pass a political savvy quiz of some kind, or an IQ test. Might be an incentive to smarten up the populace.

But Republicans wouldn't want any part of that would they

18. Folks...I have met this guy, He is truly squirly
Not to mention a major fuck up. He calls Clintmax (my husband)whenever he needs a mother figure. Its like he needs to suckle of Clintmax's breasts or something. Yet Clintmax is a guy and has no breasts. This crap out of him does not suprise me at all. I wonder how he would react if he knew that while voting for BUSH he is also voting for DICK? Probably not to kindly. Maybe Clintmax should give him a ring? "Don't vote for male genetalia, dude!"

19. That's true...
I don't know WHY he feels it necessary to call me and tell me about all his sexual exploits and want my approval and comforting words all the time but he does. Sometimes I wonder if he's flirting with me. After knowing him for 5 or 6 years, I STILL don't have him figured out.

25. I've heard "I cannot vote for Kerry because . . .
. . . HE'S a hunter. He's KILLED ANIMALS!"

So I respond with "But what about all the HUMANS who have died as a result of Bush's policies?"

She replies, "Oh, Bush hasn't killed anyone."

:grr: :puke:
