It's 2008. Its election day. Basically there's 2 people in the running. The Republican and the Democrat.
I'm going to ask a series of questions. The answer is going to be either Democrat or Republican.
1. Who do the majority of the members of NAMBLA vote for?
2. If given the opportunity, who would the majority of the people in Prison vote for?
3. If given the opportunity, who do the majority of members of Al-Queda and other terrorist organizations vote for?
4. Who do the majority of drug dealers vote for?
5. Who do the majority sex offenders vote for?
6. Of the people that are too lazy to work, who do the majority of them vote for?
7. Of the people who don't have a problem with those crazy judges in Vermont and Columbus, who do the majority of them vote for?
8. The majority of trial lawyers who lie with every breath they can muster to keep criminals on the street, who do the majority of them vote for?
9. Parents who have a family, and work hard, and obey the law, and live moral lives. Who do the majority of them vote for?
I think it comes out to.
Democrat - 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
Republican - 9

Democrat, Republican, doesn't matter. Both parties are more than corrupt. |

I disagree on No. 3,
"If given the opportunity, who do the majority of members of Al-Queda and other terrorist organizations vote for?"
I think the terrorists would vote Republican for Rumsfield and Wolfowitz, because those boys created a terrorist magnet with the war in Iraq.

If so, why did Bin Laden make a video begging Americans to vote for Kerry?
Even Kerry says that video may have cost him election. |

Duh, because Bin Laden wanted Bush to win. Kerry might have done something sensible, like unite the rest of the world on the side of the U.S.
I know it's hard for you, Straw, but you've got to be able to think a couple of moves ahead with this stuff.

Straw,
This thread is the crux of the problem for the Dems. Everyone on both sides knows the answers. It is going to be a festive Thanksgiving season. Maybe we can recreate Fitzmas. |

I have to admit I'm surprised to find out you're an expert on NAMBLA, but whatever, I love it! |

I was unaware that Dave was running a "March Madness" for the most ridiculous thread topic.
I'm definitely including this one in my "final four" brackets. |

9. Parents who have a family, and work hard, and obey the law, and live moral lives. Who do the majority of them vote for?
Bush wouldn't fall in this category since he's broken the law (as a drunk and as the President) and doesn't work hard (takes more vacation than any other president) |

I don't know. How about those who don't lie with every breath, but only the majority of them. The majority of them, or the majority of all the trial lawyers Do the lawyers who lie with every breath they can muster comprise a majority of trial lawyers? Is comprise the right word in this case? If they're a minority of all trial lawyers, a majority of them will be a minority of all trial lawyers. How about tax attorneys who go to trial to help members of group (9) shaft the IRS?
And what about trial lawyers who are also sex offenders? Or trial lawyers who only lie with a majority of breaths they take but belong to NAMBLA but are behind on their dues? What about people who meet the first half of the requirements of (9) but are pedophiles? How about people who have families, work hard, and try to lead a moral life the majority of the time but are drug dealers for the rest? Or work for pharmaceutical companies selling Viagra, which would technically make them drug dealers.
Maybe you should organize a focus group to get to the bottom of all of this. I mean these are nine really really compelling questions that sure will influence me in 2008 when I have to decide whether to to vote for a brilliant diagnostician like Bill Frist -- can you believe the nerve of that guy who did the autopsy on Terry Schiavo? -- and a republican representative and senator so that Tom DeLay can get back to his Works of Peace. |

While most of you probably do not watch the show, there was an episode of South Park sort of dealing with this issue. Some residents want the town flag to be changed, and the KKK doesn't want it to change. So the KKK sides with the people who look to change the flag. Their thought being that no one would vote for the side that the KKK supports. Then in the end they will have what they want.
Also, I had never realized that only Repubicans lived moral lives. I guess you learn something new every day. |

In defense of BS, he never stated that only Republicans live moral lives, only that the majority of people fitting that description who vote tend to vote Republican...
The result #9 would probably change if more folks went to the polls...

Wow Madden, that describes all Republicans to a "T".
In either real numbers or as a percentage of the whole, there are far more racists, sexists, and homophobes voting Republican than there are NAMBLA members and terrorists voting Democrat. So what can we infer from that? What does it mean? Not a damn thing...just like the post that started this thread.
But way to chomp down on that bait with authority! Defensive much? |

I'm going to ask a series of questions. The answer is going to be either Democrat or Republican.
1. Who do the majority of the members of the KKK vote for?
2. If given the opportunity, who would the majority of the people in "country club" prisons vote for?
3. Who do the majority of people who still use the word "ni***er" vote for?
4. Who do the majority of former Board members of Enron and Global Crossing vote for?
5. Who do the majority people who make their money from the weaknesses of others, like gambling and alcohol, vote for?
6. Of the people that are too lazy to work and instead live off of inheritances, who do the majority of them vote for?
7. Of the people who don't have a problem with setting up shell operations in the islands to avoid their fair share of taxes, who do the majority of them vote for?
8. The majority of trial lawyers who lie with every breath they can muster to keep chemical companies, gun manufacturers, polluters and sweatshops unaccountable, who do the majority of them vote for?
9. Parents who have a family, and work hard, and obey the law, and live moral lives, but still can't get ahead because their high-tech job as a programmer has been moved to India. Who do the majority of them vote for?
I think it comes out to.

Guy, I have news which I believe will please you very much.
The folks at Technorati.com have been keeping track of how many times the "Robert Byrd was in the KKK" argument has been used during internet political discussions.
They've just announced that you are the ONE MILLIONTH user of that argument.
Congratulations. I think we all can be proud that this happened on MOL! |

"Robert Byrd was in the KKK" still trails BUSH LIED by a mile.
"Bush lied": 2,440,000
"Robert Byrd was in the KKK": 128
That makes "Bush lied" 19,062.5 times more true.
