There are only seven candidates and you must pick one. Which one will you pick and why?

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad- Too crazy.
Blair - Too poodle-like.
Fidel Castro - Too authoritarian.
Hugo Chavez - Too anti-free speech (allegedly).
Janet Reno - Who?
George Bush - Too incompetent.

I think Fox is the best choice. After Cthulhu, of course.

Bill was almost as far to the right (economically) as Bush, and he wasn't that far to the left as far as social policies are concerned.

He was a weeeeee bit too statist (Hillary's even worse)... Much like most presidents seem to be.

I am no fan of George Bush, but he is way better than that Iranian guy. The Iranian guy wants to start a nuclear war so the 12th imam can return. He even asked George Bush to convert to Islam. While its always fun to parody Bush as that extreme, he really is far from it. It's not like he's writing letters to random world leaders asking them to convert to Christianity or asking for the complete elimination of particular nations.

I would probably choose anarchy, too. Of course, there are always Hobbesian arguments about how any government is better than anarchy. But I think that's garbage after looking at Hitler. And yes after thinking about it you're probably right incompetent leadership doesn't lead to anarchy. Nonetheless, I thought anarchy vs. oppressive government was an interesting way at looking at the candidates.

I personally think you should be a bit more specific rather than blanket all the media as leftist dribble. As it happens you caught me on the night of me News Media class, so I am fresh from being instructed not to make such blanket statements. I mean, come on, do you seriously view Fox News as left?

I completely agree, and no I dont think that FOX news is left but honestly do you not think that you are being urged to say "yes" to whatever they're being payed to say is good for us on that specific day. Right or Left they all seek to, and succeed, in controlling at the very least the vast majority of US citizens.

And pertaining to that list I would have to choose Blair sadly he is the most "sane" (in a comparative sense) than all of the others. But, if given the choice I would go with an Anarchy also.

I will grant you this, peabrain. Everyone is manipulable and manipulated. Whether by a biased press or a government that wants you to be a mouthbreather and ignorant, the better for you to go like a drone into a voting booth and vote for the glories of the past rather than the uncertainty of the future.
