Allow me to provide you a little background first. I have only once voted for somebody who ever won an election for President. I've generally voted Democratic, so that would explain part of the problem right there. I supported Eugene McCarthy even before I could vote. I campaigned for him. Then there was George McGovern. The only winner I picked was Jimmy Carter and when I realized what kind of mistake that was, I thought I'd have better luck switching teams so I voted for John Anderson. You probably don't even remember him.

Anyway, I began to get the distinct impression that casting my vote for any candidate was somehow magically transformed into the kiss of death and so I refrained from doing any more damage for quite a long time. Despite recurring and persistent urges every four years I managed to keep my magical powers under control all the way up until 2004, when I said to myself, 'Self, you just have to add your voice on the side of reason and make a stand against this ignorant and evil force that has so clearly usurped the very soul of America. The time is now and besides, there is no way even your curse could overcome the rising tide of outrage and then the curse will be broken.'

Ok, so I owe you all an apology. Who knew? I mean, Kerry was winning right up until the very moment I pulled the lever.

Now, I have been sorely tempted in this election cycle - what with the early promise of a Democratic Party reinvigorated by it's resurrection in 2006 - to cast my lot with either Mr. Obama or Ms. Clinton this year, but this past week of racial slime and ethical slander has returned me to my senses. A campaign of hope, goodwill, and new beginnings has slid ever-so-easily into the mud to the point wher I fully expect the next so-called debate to determine whether Democrats wants some stupid cunt or some dumb nigger running the country (or at least, that is the way most of America is going to see it by the time they get done) and I'm not about to let that happen.

So, if you don't mind, I'm going to help you in the only way I know how. I hereby declare that I will cast my vote for John McCain. Regardless of whom you poor progressive souls select as your mud-splattered standard bearer, I am certain that this is the only way that I - in all good conscience - can help you.

John, baby, I'm sorry to have to do this to you. You're a nice guy ... most of the time.

At least what you see is what you get....

hope is changing. I really hope that you change your mind and vote for the candidates of hope and change---change---change---cha­nge---change---change.

Here is Hoping: Hawk

All this devisive nonsense about hope and change and who really is for change and who has a dream verses who lives in a fairy tale - I want to rise above all that and so I'm going to vote for a guy who is beyond hope.

This is one of those twisted schemes you wet blanket moderates use to try to make the country all "reasonable," isn't it? You'd have us return to the day when people of different opinions actually spoke to each other and made compromises in order to move a common agenda forward rather than devising clever and entertaining insults for one another. Boring old fart!

You have chosen the guy who was once brave and ethical, but sold outl to become Bush's butt boy.

I guess that makes you Bush's butt boy by proxy.

He went on TV with Letterman and Leno because he says he cares about what young people think.

That's got to be a law even if it doesn't have a name yet, so you're on the right track.

we're going to stay in Iraq even if it takes a hundred years. Now, that's commitment. Even Bush doesn't have that kind of commitment. Why, I said to myself just this morning that if George Bush were committed, we wouldn't have these kinds of problems.

So, who's whose butt boy, missy?

The Master and Commander Law after a quote from Capt. Aubrey that we must always choosing the lesser of two Weevils.

Now, I didn't know exactly what that meant and how it applied until Ronald Reagan issued his Eleventh Commandment that Republicans speak no Weevil about Republicans in public and then I realized that Weevilese was the secret code language of Republican politicians and therefore all Republicans must be Weevil and how else would you explain the twice elected Master and Commander in Chief Bush as anything but the lesser Weevil?

Right track? Why, the only thing necessary for the triumph of Weevil is for good men to do nothing.

I hear a politician utter the word *change* I get scared and I put my hand on my wallet. Most of the historical changes here initiated and implimented by both political have resulted in the loss of our jobs, monies and liberties.

About now, politician's should be asking us to make sacrifices instead of pandering for votes and utilizing devisive political tactics so that they can garner power. Both sides of the isle are lying sacks of shit.

We are so divided now, that I cannot invision any sort of unification in the future. We are not only divided politically, but also by race, gender, sexual orientation and class.

Who was it that said---quote: "A house divided; cannot long stand". Our divisiveness will be our downfall.

I don't believe you. I think you're putting us on.

Your vote is generally considered to be the albatross factor. I know you are not an occupationaist and I am pretty sure your anti-Iraq war. So this vote for McCain is what? A vote for McCain or is it the Albatross effect ?

Now if you were committed to change...just how much change would you expect from a ten dollar Bill? Having said that, if Bill is only worth ten dollars...how much change can Hillary possibly bring?? If Hillary doesn't bring the change, how will Bill get his Iced coffee from Dunkin Doughnuts? These are serious issues and furthermore we all know that McCain cannot escape the Albatross effect if he refuses to Change...from those hideous grey flannel suits that somebody should be shot for becaue as everyone knows an Albatross is inherently a fashion critic.....so while Bill gets the boot from Dunikin D counter...and Hillary gets the change..maybe she can donate Ten dollars to the McCain fund for better suits because Bill will already have the boot and one boot should be enough for anyone to kick an Albatross with.

I mean it all works out.

I'll see your McCain and raise you a Stepovich. I don't believe you've even got a pair.
