comparing the candidates (Page 2 of 2)

Wow aaron, we posted at the same time and even said similar things, talking about better ways to spend energy and time rather than voting.   !   Weird.  Stop reading my mind!!!!!!!!!!!   

And you stay outta mine, lyra! Just kidding. Seriously, that was pretty cool. A little telepathy never hurt anyone. Maybe you and I should experiment a bit with it sometime.
P. Diddy is a sold-out, talentless judas goat (Wu-Tang got the thang!). "Die or Vote"? Up yours, Puffypants. "Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death!" "Don't Tread On Me!" Puffy's gonna be playing holiday inns next year (the mc hammer circuit), the dumbass dawg.

Seeker, I've never met an African-American who wasn't antibush from the start. Like them, I saw through that weenie smirk when he first hit the stage. (I took Noam Chomsky's Intellectual Self-Defense Course.) And what does it matter whether vote tallies are manipulated or not? The fix is in at the top, not the bottom. I will admit, though, that if Julie Delpy showed up at my home and wanted me to come with her to vote, I'd not only go, but I'd vote however she said. We're talking Real Incentive there .

Added: Seeker, explain how not voting contributes to the problem. Please. And just because your vote means something to you, how does that make it count?

bush "probably didn't deserve it" has got to be the understatement of the century.

aaron-- Forgot to reply about Nader... I thought I read somewhere that Nader was working to help some corporate lobbies. I was mistaken, and I apologize. I searched on google and all I found was what I said so far. BTW, the Republicans are helping Nader because they know he can take votes away from Kerry, leaving the 'left-wing' votes more split bewteen the two.

Not to get involved in politics, but on a personal note. Nadar is the only "politician" running for president that I've actually learned something from.  It says something to me, in this day and age, when one can actually stand the sight and sound of anyone at or attempting to be at the highest executive level.  That said, most of these 'people', and I use the term loosely, are profoundly disillusioned individuals.  Many walk and talk like a robot might do, were a robot allowed to run for office.  And no wonder, given their primp and pressing -- careful preparation for "show-time", "screen-time", and "press-time".  What about off-time?  Do they talk the same, think the same, express themselves the same?

My brother one said about his future-wife, "If she loves and appreciates me at my absolute worst, then she deserves to be with me at my best."  The point is, we've never known most of these candidates or our presidents or leaders in the past to have a "worst moment".  They don't allow themselves to express that to the public.  It's often more meaningful to know someone's shining moment relative to their moment of shame.  This is a human experience, one with different phases and different cycles of being.

These robots are so boring.
