I'm just curious. Poll coming.

Whoever you put on the poll that you disagree with.

I'm just curious. Poll coming.

Uh... none of the above (or below!) :D

None of the above.

None of the above.

It's a relative question, not an absolute question. Politicians, by nature, are not very trustworthy. However, some are more honest than others.

Would you rather get hit by a bus or a tram?

i'm not gunna trust anyone who's probably related to the founder of a company that makes shit oven chips. or anyone called hillary.

I'm just curious. Poll coming.

Why should I choose between Tweedledee and Tweedledumb? I reserve the right to choose neither of the two, and make my own decisions.

Would you rather get hit by a bus or a tram?

Definitely a bus.

It's a relative question, not an absolute question. Politicians, by nature, are not very trustworthy. However, some are more honest than others.

To some it is like asking whether you'd prefer the bullet that kills you to be made of copper or lead.

I need to correct that. Politicians, by definition are not trustworthy. The only distinction between them is that some are better at hiding their lies and dirty deals, whereas others flaunt them into the public's face.
You just decide whichever you feel more comfortable with.

Hm, I don't like some of what either of them do, although given the reactions of people I know to both there might be things on both worth looking into.

I trust them both equally.

Pytor! Stop posting in threads before the OP! You're freakin' me out!

I can't stand Hilary (take away my Hot Coffee, ya bitch)... so. McCain.

Don't hate me 'cause I'm prescient.:p

Trust to do what? Watch the kids? Protect my banking information? Guard my back in a firefight?

Hillary, because she's honest about her political whoredom. McCain tries to act the maverick while continually bowing to the party. If he'd just man up and admit his toolishness, he'd regain a bit of my respect.

Hiliary over McCain. But want Al Gore as president.

Yay!

I trust Ozzy to make the best choices for me. That is why I have established the First Church of Ozzy.

I trust neither.

Yay!

Hear, hear!

I don't know anything about either (other than the fact that Hilary was Bill's wife), so I trust neither.

What party is McCain in?

Without having a clue on who "Ozzy" is, I already trust him far more than either of those two choices.

Repubiican

I'm just curious. Poll coming.

neither,not as far as i could throw them

Repubiican

Then Hilary wins, despite her dubious political policies....

neither,not as far as i could throw them
Ah, but who would you throw further? ;)

i will trust the one that can thow me the furthest because i will be further away from that one and therefore less vulnerable to whatever it is they are planning on doing next.

i dont trust Hillary Clinton because she is a woman. and as the saying goes "You can't trust anything that bleeds for a week and doesn't die."

seriously now, i dont like Hillary Clintons policies. she plays the moral card on some issues but decides to completly ignore it in others. she doesnt seem to have an opinion on anything untill it hits popular opinion. She is purely a politician and seems she has been training to be in politics her whole life.

at least McCain served in the millitary and didnt base his entire life on someday being president.

And became a lawyer, went to China ran for senate...won! Nobody's perfect but shes better than most!

Hilary.

Neither have particularly gained my trust, but Hillary is more predictable.

That said, I prefer McCain.

It's a risk/reward trade-off.

Hillary, because she's honest about her political whoredom. McCain tries to act the maverick while continually bowing to the party. If he'd just man up and admit his toolishness, he'd regain a bit of my respect.

I guess that's sort of a point. I hate that that has to be the distinction.

McCain.

Hillary panders to public opinion. Elect her, and "the public's opinion becomes my opinion" will turn into "the lobbyist's policies will be my policies"

McCain is the best of the worst: The only thing he has going against him is the little (R) next to his name (well, that and a few others: nobody's perfect). His party superiors pressure him into staying on the party line if the vote is close, but IMO, I think that if you give him a position of power, he'd go his own way with it.



IMO, the only way for the repubs to have the slightest chance of taking the WH in '08 is if McCain ran. It would still be close, however.

Ah, but who would you throw further? ;)
I'd throw them both just 4 feet.








However, I'd like to point out that I would want to be facing 2 feet away from a 10000 foot sheer cliff when I did the throwing.

I guess that's sort of a point. I hate that that has to be the distinction.

Me too, but when given such weak options, you have to go with the meager distinctions.

McCain, hands down. He doesn't pull any of this "protect the children" crap that so pisses me off about politicians. Yeah, it's for the children...More like for your own twisted political goals of sucking all fun off the face of the earth Hillary!!!

I'm just curious. Poll coming.

You realize that there are more politicians in the US then just those two.
And that you paired the best republican with the worst democrat.

Without having a clue on who "Ozzy" is, I already trust him far more than either of those two choices.

You've never heard of Ozzy? Ozzy Osbourne? Ex-member of the metal band Black Sabbath?

Hillary. We know she'll go for the pseudo populist answer to every question. She may be wrong consistently, but at least she's consistent.

McCain will say one thing, and then do the other once he's gotten popular for saying the first thing.

I trust Chuck Norris.

*prays that the poll looks nothing like the '08 ballot*

*shudders involuntarily*

Cause it won't.
Assuming they arrange the ballot alphabetically, Clinton's name will be first, not McCain's.

You're not easing my fears, you know...

Im putting my 2 dollars on a long shot:

Rudy vs Gore

BRING BACK OZONE MAN!!!

None of the above.

seconded.

Let's do the time warp yeah!

Riff-Raff:
It's astounding
Time is fletting
Madness take sit's toll
But listen closely

Magenta:
Not for very much longer

Riff-Raff:
I've got to keep control
I remember doing the timewarp
Drinking those moments when
The blackness would hit me

Both:
And the void would be calling

All:
Let's do the Timewarp again
Let's do the Timewarp again

Narrator:
It's just a jump to the left

All:
And then a step to the right

Narrator:
put your hands on your hips

All:
and bend your knees in time
But it's the pelvic thrust
That really drives you insane
Let's do the Timewarp again
Let's do the Timewarp again

Magenta:
It's so dreamy
Oh fantasy free me
So you can't see me
No not at all
in another dimension
With voyeuristic intension
Well secluded
I'll see all

Riff-Raff:
With a bit of a mind flip

Magenta:
You're into the time slip

Riff-Raff:
And nothing can ever be the same

Magenta:
You're spaced out on sensation

Riff-Raff:
Like you're under sedation

All:
Let's do the Timewarp again
Let's do the Timewarp again

Columbia:
Well I was walking down the street just a having a think
When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink
He shook-a me up, he took me by surprise
He stared at me and I felt a change
Time meant nothing, never would again

Narrator:
It's just a jump to the left

All:
And then a step to the right

Narrator:
With your hands on your hips

All:
You bring your knees in tight
But it's the pelvic thrust
That really drives you insane
Let's do the Timewarp again
Let's do the Timewarp again

(Not a virgin... ;) Halloween is coming up - I wish there were a thearter playing it within travelling distance...)

I'm glad to see that I'm not alone in seeing that McCain's act is just that--an act.

Hillary, because she's honest about her political whoredom. McCain tries to act the maverick while continually bowing to the party. If he'd just man up and admit his toolishness, he'd regain a bit of my respect.It is a little bit depressing that I have to agree with this...

I have some faith in John McCain and about as much trust as I would have for any politician.

Clinton-on the other hand? No-no trust in the slightest. In my opinion, she is a complete and utter phony, a manipulative and dishonest opportunist.
One day, she's scheming in Arkansas, then she dons a Yankee hat and becomes a senator in NY. She owes the Hasidim in NY far too much to ever be trusted.

John McCain. At least he has principles, and a penis.

It is hard to conceive of anyone being as much of a scumbucket opportunist sleaze as McCain.

Hillary Clinton certainly doesnt measure up.

Good to see McCain will be getting the anti-semite vote, I suppose.

You need a penis to be a good politician?
You sure about that?

How could you trust either of these guys?

John McCain is publically friendly with other politicians, tows the party line, and he gets labeled a political whore?!

Good luck finding any politician you guys actually would vote for, cause they will never exist.
