Michael "privatise the police" Badnarik?

― Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 02:34 (nineteen years ago) link

I told ya, I ALWAYS vote for bush. Beats cock.

but no, in this election, I voted for the only candidate I'd feel comfortable running the country I live in. This was actually my first time voting. I'm not big on mob rule, you see.

I'm voting for the canidate that has a lower projected crude oil price

I think you shouldn't have bothered voting.

hahahahaha. has she done the base-jumping bits yet?

― Sir Kingfish Beavis D'Azzmonch (Kingfish), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 02:42 (nineteen years ago) link

RJG - why?

Kingfish - Who knows. I stopped paying attention LONG ago. I know she's strangely obsessed with jumping in the water and grabbing at fish

ineffectual.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 02:56 (nineteen years ago) link

Hahahahahahaha, for all the big talk you voted Libertarian. Hahahahahahahahahahaha.

― From a Land of Grass Without Mirrors (AaronHz), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 02:57 (nineteen years ago) link

I wonder if the righties are going to bitch about Libertarian "spoilers".....

Don't the Libertarians get more votes than Nader?

― LE CHUCK!™ (ex machina), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 02:59 (nineteen years ago) link

haha, okay, I could take it back--rog's vote may prove to be effectual.

it'd be good if JFK beat GWB, by a narrow margin (1 vote), in tennessee.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 03:02 (nineteen years ago) link

ok i'm home from work. going out to the steakhouse at 7 (my boss is taking all us monkeys out!) but i'll be checking in all night. Let's fight!

― Roger Fidelity (Roger Fidelity), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 21:37 (nineteen years ago) link

Aw, why fight, Roger? We're going to let you live in John Kerry's America. It'll be okay.

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 21:39 (nineteen years ago) link

I decided today that I hope he DOES win, so when everything inevitably turns inexplicably shittier, I can get one of those "Don't Blame Me, I Made Fun of People Who Voted for John Kerry" stickers for my car.

Time will prove me right. If he DOES win.

― Roger Fidelity (Roger Fidelity), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 21:43 (nineteen years ago) link

: )

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 21:44 (nineteen years ago) link

Right, because if it was a "Don't Blame Me, I Voted for Badnarik" sticker, people would just point and laugh.

― n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 21:46 (nineteen years ago) link

i voted for the libertarian candidate last time. this time i wisened up.

Why doesn't it surprise me that Roger is the type to put bumper stickers on his car?

― #1 fan, Tuesday, 2 November 2004 21:51 (nineteen years ago) link

i recycle them, though. Of course there is a Badnarik sticker on there now, and the ever present NRA sticker, but I also have a relatively benign In Out Burger sticker. I try not to make it look tasteless. I keep it to a minimum. Most bumper stickers are so horribly pompous and lame.

Shiiiiit, ninja, I love the steakhouse, but only when the boss man is paying.

'Contrarian' claims aside, I don't want this to get out of hand.

See, to explain it as I would to a five year old, in the most non-confrontational way I can, is that if you're going to be a pansy ass liberal, fine. Hey, I've slept with them, been in bands with them, called some of them 'sis' or occasionally 'grandma.' I'm MARRYING one of them. But BE a fucking pansy ass liberal. Don't vote for Kerry, who, in any other election against anyone other than Bush The Impaler would be called a 'madman' for his views on gay marriage, war in Iraq, etc, by the same people going to great lengths to support his ass now.

Come on, folks, you're smarter than this. You HAVE to be. Some of you supported Nader last time, who, while a fuckwit, is at least a straight shooter.

Kerry's pandering is so OBVIOUS and transparent. You realize that that photo of him 'hunting,' itself an obvious ploy to 'appeal' to sportsmen, was taken with him holding a gun that the assault weapons ban would essentially make unavailable to anyone?

― Roger Fidelity (Roger Fidelity), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 22:21 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah, but there are plenty of people who are voting for Kerry (or just wanting him to win, like me) who still know that he will be a complete bastard in power. The only question is, who is worse? And it has to be Bush. Not everyone voting for Kerry thinks he is the messiah.

Like 85% of the President's job is to pander to people.

― n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 22:32 (nineteen years ago) link

so, I don't get it. You all agree with me? You freely admit you are voting in this (and i know you'll hate this) flip-flopper, this opportunistic, condescending mystery man, based soley on the fact that he ISN'T someone else?

God help us all.

― Roger Fidelity (Roger Fidelity), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 22:37 (nineteen years ago) link

― LE CHUCK!™ (ex machina), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 22:38 (nineteen years ago) link

this opportunistic, condescending mystery man suits Bush to a 't'.

― Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 22:39 (nineteen years ago) link

Roger, it's called "compromise" and it's something that all adults have to deal with. In this case, it's a pretty fucking good compromise too.

― n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 22:41 (nineteen years ago) link

enjoy your tax hike, Mr Rogers

― Roger Fidelity (Roger Fidelity), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 22:41 (nineteen years ago) link

Voting because someone isn't somebody else is the reality of democracy sometimes. Running to hopeless, idealistic third parties is cowardice.

― Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 22:42 (nineteen years ago) link

cowardice? Please. Mob mentality is cowardice, my friend. Standing alone and knowing in your heart you are CORRECT is bravery. Standing up to friends, family, and people you respect and telling them you think they're DEAD WRONG takes more balls than it does to join the sheeple in voting in someone who, to me, seems quite opposed to all but the most wishy-washy and moderate of liberal agendas

― Roger Fidelity (Roger Fidelity), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 22:45 (nineteen years ago) link

too bad you're such an asshole about it

― miccio, I just can't sign in, Tuesday, 2 November 2004 22:49 (nineteen years ago) link

Knowing how to choose one's battles is also important, Roger.

― Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 22:49 (nineteen years ago) link

But you have a few choices ahead of you - a vote can't always be an expression of what you believe in, and you have to choose the option that gives the best result. A vote for Badnarik has the same outcome as a vote for Bush - Bush wins. A vote for Kerry is a vote for a different outcome (and the only way to cast your vote that has a different outcome in this case). If you believe Kerry is a (even slightly) better option that Bush you logically have to vote for Kerry. If you think it would be better for Bush, well, vote for Bush, or maybe Badnarik. The tyranny of the majority is different from mob rule, Roger. And idealism is safe, and comforting; those certainties are nice. Using the tool you have to do what is best for your family is strength.

― Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 22:50 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm fine with people voting for third party candidates. It's still a vote NOT for Bush. And I have larger beef with the people who won't vote for ANYBODY. Their voice isn't in the electorate. People who vote for third party candidates are at least idealistic and not lazy.

That said, Roger is such a preening, self-gratifying, defensive, disrespectful asshole that I have no desire to commend him for the fact that he "thinks outside the box." woo woo. Here's your cookie.

― miccio, for realz, Tuesday, 2 November 2004 22:54 (nineteen years ago) link

he ONLY states his opinion if it means he gets to call someone else stupid. that's some sad shit.

though i do see where he is coming from. on occasion, i have been a little bemused by the hivemind thing that goes on here, people disagreeing with me, all banding together and stuff. im a working man too, i dont like how those people all disagree with me sometimes. who do they think they are? sometimes, i tell you, i feel like the only one to tell it like it is. well, aside from roger, anyway

i don't think i am glad, no.

did you see the Rich Hall thing on BBC2 last night? that independent guy (forget which state) talking about how 'people should be allowed F-16 rocket launchers as long as they're used responsibly, and no-one is hurt. we should have them for if the government tries to turn us into slaves'

a pot not so much cracked as blasted into a trillion smithereens, and as far as i could tell, despite Hall's sharp wise-cracks, for real.

oh my yes. it answered a lot of questions (more than Moore - if only Hall was as 'commercially popular' as Moore).

then threw up a thousand more.
