Young grashoppah, you must realize that spelling 'poll' correctly is a no-no on the interwebz. It must be pole or poal or pohl or whatever.

Hef '08!

He'd replace the anti-aircraft guns on the roof with hot tubs, put a clothing-optional slip-n-slide on the front lawn, and install spinning beds and mirrored ceilings in all the bedrooms. THAT is change I can believe in!

I wonder if the Sands has a helo pad on the roof that can handle Marine One?

Now this is a platform I could endorse!

I can only imagine the parties at the convention and after the victory 🙂

Wait we already did that.

This made me bust out laughing... haha

:beer:

Sure, to not pretends I have faith in the decision makers of people who, for example, approve of Bush. Why would I want to fight them on even footing?

But they would have 4+ parties in every state so we could have a country-wide celebratory victory 🙂

Now THAT is something I could completely endorse without any reservations.

This is interesting though scientifically invalid. It seems the Obama supporters are more willing to destroy the fundamental principle upon which we rely to ensure free and open elections simply to get their candidate elected.

It's a 2:1 (wouldn't:would) ratio for both candidates as of this post.

As of this post, nearly half of McCain supporters would fix the election for their candidate (7 of 17), but only about one third of Obama supporters (16 of 44) would fix it for Obama.

Do you find this scientifically invalid poll more or less interesting now?

If you would actually read a post, you would see the qualifier I put in and the results as of the posting. No, I don't find it MORE interesting, I find anyone who would willingly rig an elecoriginal tion distrurbing. The poll is invalid, who knows maybe dems are rigging the republican results and repubs the dems.

The point I am making and you are missing is that anyone would seriously consider rigging an election and think it is ok. That completely undermines our form of government.

Yes I would, but I really don't give a shit who wins, but I'd give them enough of the vote to be a mandate so they wouldn't be so god damn powerless.

Now before anyone goes off the deep end, I would attribute the 7 so far who would rig the election in favor of Obama to not be representative of Democarats, but rather the kook fringe element like the moveon.orgies.

And it bears repeating that these types of polls are anecdotal only and represent no supportible conclusions.

I am dissapointed in the 2 who would rig the election in favor of McCain. Conservatives must have higher standards than that.

Actually, according to this poll. 42.8% of McCain supported would fix the election if possible and 39.1% of Obama supported. A statistical tie more or less.

Though I see when you posted McCain was at 2, and now stands at 9 heh. 🙂

Actually, if you were truly concerned about that you would not have mentioned a candidates name, but just said you are disapointed anyone voted yes in general.

Hypothetically speadking, if someone (perhaps Diebold 😉) offered a way for you to rig the election, with no chance of ever getting found out or caught, would you do it? Would you have your candidate 'win'?

Just for clarification, you would not have the option of first seeing who would actually win to determine if you wanted to "change" the results or not.

YA! Third party, why just choose between two?

 

[newmachineoverlord]

It's unanimous, everyone in the country voted for the Christopher Walken/Stephen Colbert ticket! This election will usher in a new error of nonpartisan agreement, marking the first time that every voter in the country has agreed on a candidate!

If I could rig the polls I would... but I'd elect myself dictator for life.
