To everyone who is at least remotely interested in politics: I'm taking a little poll regarding the upcoming US presidential elections. So I want to know if your gonna vote Bush or Gore. If you're not American (like me), respond too! I'll regularly post statistics.
OK, my vote would go to Gore.
(Statistics after 1 vote: Gore 100%; Bush 0%)

Gore is a fricken idiot. Bush too. But Gore more than Bush. Therefore, if I have to vote, I will vote for Bush specifically for the reason of not having retard Gore as the next president.

You're a pretty big moron there too, Amadeus.
Jean Poutine of course.

I'm going to write in Sol "I Love the Farm Life" System.
See, he's like a rural fellow, so he can bond with the midwestern farm folk...you know, hodowns and corn schucking...all that sort of thing.
But our Sol is a bright intellectual fellow too. He can talk philosophy...not that there is any real day to day value in philosophy...but it makes him sound smart. And apparently all you really need to be a well known policico is to sound smart...and Sol "I Dig Dead Squirrels Out of Farm Pipes Whilst Discussing Plato" System can certainly sound smart!!
Sol "I Don't Do It Unless I Have To" System is a procrastinator as well. So, in speeches where he sounds smart, he can make vague promises about the price of wing-nuts and not actually do anything about it during his term in office!
And he writes poetry! Well some of his work is good and some is...well...But Hey, that can be an asset too!! Consider that Lincoln wrote speeches with a very poetic tilt...we could save money on speech writers. And we could save on clothes...afterall, he only wears black.
But he might have the courage to fund some real space exploration done during his time as president and certainly one would imagine Star Trek would become a national TV program funded by PBS...at least he would form a presidental commission to determine the length of the Defiant or some such cannon nonsense. So there is that downside.
So, vote Sol "I Don't Want To Be President...I Just Want Chicks To Dig Me" System for President...and make They Might Be Giants the National Band!!!!

Well I'm not voting for either; I'm not a US Citizen yet. But if I were: Bush is a possibility since he plans to beef up the US military force. That is good for everyone and myself. But he's a damn conservative and a Republican... Gore on the other hand is a Democrat and so far I liked that the Democrats raised minimum wage. But then again Gore seems like he has no plan for foreign affairs. I actually dislike both because neither were willing to talk with any representatives from the Gay and Lesbian community, Bush more than Gore.
If given the chance though, I'd shove both of them in a quantum torp case and fire the damn thing towards the sun and nominate Timo for president.

I know that this may very well get this thread a one-way ticket to flameville, but when has that ever stopped me?
Michael:
Why would you like the fact that democrats have increased minimum wage? This is not a good thing. It's just that the democrats and the media act like it's just so darned obvious that it IS, that everyone assumes so. Every single increase in the minimum wage in history has increased unemployment. They have eliminated entry-level jobs for teenagers. They have had no notable positive side-effects. Minimum wage increases are simply a bad thing, and a point AGAINST the Democrats.

Neither. I would have gone for McCain. But if I had to, I'd go for Gore. I'm a cross between a Democrat and Republican.
