Snyder ,'Chosen'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Just a reminder, there are people I respect among us (Buffistas) who have voted for 3rd party candidates. I hope you respect them too.
Just to be clear -- I'm registered independent. I'm married to a libertarian. One of my guaranteed will-rant-for-hours triggers is the fact that NC makes it harder than any other state for other parties to get any representation at all... and I see a vast difference between voting for a 3rd party and cashing out because you don't want to bother with either one.
In other funny news, my parents got my voicemail apologizing for my childhood wall drawings. They called me this morning laughing their asses off. My dad reminded me how we found my murals when they were pulling off the wallpaper of my childhood bedroom a few years back. He promised me I'd survive this phase.
When she ran her last campaign for Senator, she picked up huge numbers in the more conservative areas upstate simply by showing up and being demonstrably non-Satanic. Once she was standing in front of people, they had a much harder time remembering what specifically she'd done to piss them off in the first place.
This makes me feel better. Seriously.
I just shared the "He doesn't have a real black man's name" story with my co-workers, and we suddenly realized -- why hasn't someone named "Jesus" run for office yet? It's TOTALLY time.
That does make me feel better too.

There would be emails saying that he was secretly Latino? Even if it weren't secret?
What pisses me off (OK, one of many things that piss me off) is how gullible people can be. People say they won't vote for Obama because "I heard he was a Muslim." Because of those stupid emails circulating around. I guess it never occurs to these people that there are people out there who make shit up about politicians....

Sure, those are inevitable. But if there are people stupid enough to NOT vote for a candidate based on the candidate's name, surely their counterparts exist who WILL vote for a candidate based on his name. And what better name than "Jesus"?
Hillary definitely won over Upstate New York one person at a time, practically. But it did work!
And what better name than "Jesus"?
"Bigballs McManly"?
