Wait, you mean the Green Party still exists, let alone is worth being frustrated at?

careful officer logic....if you start trying to apply logic to blog comments you may find yourselves with a crime wave on your hands :-) Personally I'm amazed at how many blah candidates are running in all the parties (and yes, even the Greens, hell ESPECIALLY the greens and all their sanctimonious bs) but given how low the bar has been set after 8 years of Clnton and 8 years of Bush, I can't imagine many of 'em doing any worse. Well, actually I can, I just choose not to.

A system of ideas = death? SFist commentors, it's the Logic Police here. Do you have any idea how badly you were weaving just then? I'm sure you guys meant something like "dogmatic adherence to ideology can lead to intellectual bankruptcy, which in turn can lead to some very poor decisions" blah, blah, blah. Cuz blanket antipathy towards ideology qua politics is, paradoxically, kind of a doctrinaire position to take, kindasortadontchyathink? Sometimes our ideas about the world end up fitting into a pattern. Like say, our opinions on the legitimacy of torture or wiretapping or electoral fraud. Or, (and I'm just pulling an example out of the air here) the decision to go to war in Iraq during the summer of 2003. Some of us were loudly against it (see Obama, Barack) and some of us were not (see Edwards, Clinton). That's why this pic is too cute by half. A choice for all three means no choice at all. They can't all be right; which is why we have primaries. So pick a side, wussies.

Now that's a three way I could get behind. Only in a totally non-sexual way, of course. *shuddering at the thought of sex with any of them*

"ideology kills people dead." agreed.

yes, but I am consistently oversimplifying. and here is the crux of it: ideology kills people dead

If you are going to oversimplify American politics, you might as well be consistent about it.I'm not sure if this remark was directed at me or at warsux, but um, you just blamed the entire last 8 years on Ralph Fricking Nader... and you're accusing me/us of "oversimplifying American politics"?

jnice, let me get this straight. are you saying it doesn't matter how an elected official votes? i'm not sure you quite understand how this whole representative democracy thing works.

And really, being for "any Democrat" in the US in 2008 is a political stand on par with "Air...let's breathe it!"

Either that or she doesn't think they're mistakes.

I cast my absentee ballot this morning and Hillary's name was not checked off. Forget her Iraq vote, which is bad enough, it's her vote on IRAN that scares the shit out of me, since it shows she's a pandering f**tard who can't learn from her mistakes.

How exactly is Hillary's vote for the war, which was going to pass anyway, significant, whereas a vote for Nader in California, where he was going to lose anyway, not? If you are going to oversimplify American politics, you might as well be consistent about it.

Thanks, but I'm gonna stay with my "Republicans for Voldemort" bumper sticker for now.

Warsux: if you voted for Ralph Nader, everything that has happened in the last 8 years is your fault. Everything.Not unless s/he voted in Florida. CA, in case you forgot, was a very solid blue state in 2000. To quote Jon Stewart's brilliant tome America: "Ralph Nader was second only to Al Gore for costing Al Gore the election."

Warsux: if you voted for Ralph Nader, everything that has happened in the last 8 years is your fault. Everything. Nader drives a bumper sticker laden electric go kart in hell.

Hilary on top, Barack on the bottom, and John Edwards right in the middle. Now that's kinky!

Brock, I misread your post as "you're just mad because hillary is a top" and I was about to respond "How do you know this?"

"Hillary on top" is creating nightmarish images in my mind.

what part of "hillary voted for the war" don't you people understand? any one with half a brain knew the war was a horrible, horrible mistake from the beginning. if hillary does have half a brain, she knew the war was a horrible idea too and she voted it for it purely for political expediency -- which means she'd make a terrible president. if she doesn't, in fact, have half a brain, then she'd make a terrible president. no matter what, hillary makes a terrible president! i don't think obama or edwards are much better, but hillary does NOT deserve your vote. ANY fool or voted for the war must be held accountable or our democracy is worth nothing.

Dear Volvo driver, we don't heart you. We feel that expressing your political views through bumper stickers is annoying. And please have your car serviced, despite your obvious left leanings you are poluting the fuck out of our morning dog walk and we are frightened by your out of control salt and pepper Jew fro and your bad teeth. We're sorry your husband left you for a younger woman, but please, get a hold of yourself and stop wearing sweatpants out in public.
