RWHN: From the Depths vol. 2 #1 (Election Time Special)

[AFK]

Methinks that government inc has decided on a leadership change. Hopefully the next head on a stick will posess a bit more in the way of basic motor functions. Elmer Fudd might have been funny but I couldn't help feeling insulted.

Optimist.

[Cain]

Yeah, its looking likely.  I wrote something on that earlier this year...lemme see if I can find it...

Written in March 2006:

Iraq is a failure, but it can be recovered from, dismissed. If it gets worse, plotters will start gathering. The political backers, the modern day Machiavellis, people who know how to fashion opinions into knives. They will cut Bush out. This is already starting, Reaganites and the Cato Institute, dissenters like Fukuyama and Perle.

They will try and let the Dems take the fall in 08, as their are no leaders there capable of what is wanted. Once the financial situation is improved (but not the political, importantly) then they will advance their new candidate. Think Gregor Strasser/Von Papen situation in the Weimar Republic. Instability in the political sphere will be fatal in the coming years. Foreign adventures are most advised against. Backlash will not tend to liberalism, already ideologues blaming Bush for being too liberal.

Okay then, failing that, how about going the whole nine and putting a cartoon in office.

I can't wait to sit around and toast marshmellows in the embers of the republic.

You know Kim Jong Il is a huge Daffy Duck fan right?

Just checking. 

[P3nT4gR4m]

Didn't know that but thanks for sharing. I'm a huge Kim Jong Il fan ever since I saw him in Team America. All together now - "I'm Wonery..."

I'll probably vote for someone other than the bloods or the crips.  Maybe I'll run for mob boss myself: become King Kaos and eventually "messiah" the whole damn world.

Has anyone come up with any kind of solution yet? Any voting suggestions? It dosen't seem like it, and I don't think anyone will. Why?

If you've ever been locked up (prison/ mental hospital/ buried alive), it really opens up your eyes to what it feels like to be trapped and completely hopeless. Kick and scream all you want, nothings helping. You begin to get scared and destitute. "I'm never getting out of here!"

This is america's political climate.

Solution?  NOW?  Just when things are getting REALLY funny?

[hunter s.durden]

Touche!

[East Coast Hustle]

I've decided to vote for the most heinous candidates I can possibly find.

not out of some bizzarre notion that it will speed things along, just because I'll be safely out of the country before they take office.

ECH,
neener neener neener

american politics makes me feel like i'm being forced to play Naked Twister with smelly old men.  and that is not a good feeling.

[Cain]

The Repubs are going to win anyway.  Just saying.  And if they don't, the far right screech will only become louder and more enraged than it currently stands.  The Dems would take the blame for the Iraq mess (as civil war will happen on "their watch") and a virulently angry mid-west would probably destroy their electoral chances for the next decade.

agree
right are way to organized and they are bound by "principle"

So would that be Pat LaMarche or Barbara Merrill?   I'm seriously considering voting for Napier for Governor.  I've actually chatted with him a couple of times.  He used to come in my store when I was working there.  I actually had to carry someting out to his van for him because he doesn't get around too well.  Anyway, he's perfectly kooky and nutty.  Seems like a good fit for Maine to me.   :-D
