That's it...I will only support a candidate with bad hair who lives in a shack!

[Atman]

Isn't this the mentality that got us George Bush? People voting for a (pseudo) regular-guy you could have a beer with? Who the hell wants "regular guys" to run the country? I have a lot of good friends, some have great hair, some have no hair, some live in McMansions, some live in shabby rentals...I wouldn't want ANY of them to be president.

I like the guy who know foreign policy, shows compassion for his/her fellow man, and can communicate in complete sentences. Is that too much to ask?

1. Is this another GEICO commercial?

[kimmerspixelated]

2. TOUCHE'!!!!!!!

[azurnoir]

3. Yous a Yankee ain't cha'

sorry it was just there.

[Jackpine Radical]

4. Well, Hell, I wasn't gonna run this time, but

since I meet your criteria better than anybody I know, I gues I owe it to the Republic to throw my hat into the ring (thus displaying my hirsute credentials--or lack thereof).

[donheld]

5. Finally someone who gets it

[Bicoastal]

6. Hobos for president? I LOVE it!

Toothless Joe/Willie the Wino in '08!

A space heater in every boxcar and a flask in every pocket!

The experience we trust. The bindle sticks we need.

[Midlodemocrat]

7. Why stop there? Let's only support bald candidates with bad teeth!!!

:rofl:

:thumbsup:

8. Good Post!...k& r...n/t

[warren pease]

9. So you'll be going with Kucinich, then? ;-)

[Atman]

16. Actually, I voted for him in 2004

I'd do it again, dammit!

Besides, it'd be cool to have a smokin' hot first lady for a change.

.

[warren pease]

17. Yeah, me too

And I'm going to do it again next time. I've also decided to give him some money, not that there's a lot to spare. But after watching those obscene numbers Hillary and Obama posted, neither of whom does shit for me as a candidate, I think it's imperative that Kucinich gets money from the people who share his values. He's sure as hell not going to get any help from the DNC or the usual corporate "donors."

19. All Dem candidates have

"Smokin' Hot Ladies"..except for hill, of course.

[LisaM]

10. I hope you aren't referring to Kucinich!

(Whom I voted for last time in our caucus). Last I knew, he lived in a house that looked like the one Archie Bunker lived in, and as for his hair - well, he might actually CONSIDER paying a little more.....

[Horse with no Name]

11. Here's yer candidate

[RedEarth]

12. What about someone who is bald

would you support them....lol

[Bicoastal]

13. We HAVE had several bald presidents...

...although I can't remember all of them off the top of my head (ha!) at the moment, the last was almost definitely Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1952.

Right before television appearances became the raison d'etre of politics....

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

14. I've got the Cabinet all lined up....

Eric Idle:
I was happier then and I had nothing! We used to live in this tiny old tumbled-down house with great big holes in the roof.

Graham Chapman:
House! You were lucky to live in a house! We used to live in one room, all twenty-six of us, no furniture, half the floor was missing, we were all huddled together in one corner for fear of falling.

Terry Jones:
You were lucky to have a room! We used to have to live in the corridor!

Michael Palin:
Oh, we used to dream of living in a corridor! Would have been a palace to us! We used to live in an old watertank on a rubbish tip. We'd all woke up every morning by having a load of rotten fish dumped all over us! House, huh!

Eric Idle:
Well, when I say a house, it was just a hole in the ground, covered by a sheet of tarpaulin, but it was a house to us!

Graham Chapman:
We were evicted from our hole in the ground. We had to go and live in a lake!

Terry Jones:
You were lucky to have a lake! There were 150 of us living in a shoebox in the middle of the road!

Michael Palin:
A cardboard box?

Terry Jones:
Aye!

Michael Palin:
You were lucky! We lived for three months in a rolled-up newspaper in a septic tank! We used to have to go up every morning, at six o'clock and clean the newspaper, go to work down the mill, fourteen hours a day, week in, week out, for six pence a week, and when we got home, our dad would slash us to sleep with his belt!

Graham Chapman:
Luxury! We used to have to get up out of the lake at three o'clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of hot grubble, work twenty hours a day at mill, for two pence a month, come home, and dad would beat us around the head and neck with a broken bottle, if we were lucky!

Terry Jones:
Well, of course, we had it tough! We used to have to get up out of the shoebox in the middle of the night, and lick the road clean with our tongues! We had to eat half a handful of freezing cold grubble, work twenty-four hours a day at mill for four pence every six years, and when we got home, our dad would slice us in two with a breadknife!

Eric Idle:
Right! I had to get up in the morning, at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill and pay millowner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our dad would kill us and dance about on our graves, singing Hallelujah!

Michael Palin:
Aah. You try to tell the young people of today that, and they won't believe you!

All:
No, no they won't!

[Berry Cool]

15. Jethro's hair is too good.

I think the only suitable candidate for president under these criteria is Ted Kaczsynski.

But he damn well better not have too big a carbon footprint.

[AlCzervik]

18. from now on it's only candidates with comb overs for me!

[Initech]

20. I agree whole-heartedly!

I don't want a regular guy elected president! I want an elitist! I want somebody who knows their shit! I want somebody who CAN GET THINGS DONE. Bush isn't any of those things.

Fuck, if we're going to elect somebody you could have a beer with, why not elect the next winner of American Idol or the 12 time WWE Ultimate Smackdown champion while we're at it?
