Next American President: Who Would You Vote For?

As there are no clear cut front-runners for the upcoming presidential race, I propose three candidates for your write-in vote.

For whom would you vote?


1. Ann Coulter

pro: has written some books so I'm sure she knows how to spell
con: bad hair days could be very bad for the country




2. Elvis

pro: well, he's the King!
con: dead for almost 30 years




3. Cute kitten

pro: calming purr sure to sooth the nation
con: can't really think of any!

luna,

Look at who's posting.

*Phyllis Sidhe_Uaine stands in front of lunamoth, arms crossed and right foot tapping. Phyllis is not quite glaring at luna, but just barely this side of it. She partially uncrosses her arms, just enough to point out the obvious.

*the :kitty: delegation glares at the moth while the lunamoth delegation flutter off, just long enough to let luna realize her "error"*

Typical - Ron Paul has been discriminated again from being included in the polling yet again!

Re: Next American President: Who Would You Vote For?

Hey! We could turn this into another cutthroat reality show. Ann Coulter (never heard of her) could represent the Dems, Elvis (well known but dead) could represent the Reps, and the kitten could represent the third party candidate (maybe revive Perot's Reform Party?). Strand 'em all on an island and watch 'em go at each other, "tooth and nail!" Good luck Elvis...yer gonna need it!

I'd vote for Ron Paul.

We may have to amend the Constitution for Kitten to be eligible:

Lol! Ann would rather be hung than represent the Democrats I think:

Ann Coulter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

From: The Wisdom of Ann Coulter

After the September 11 attack masterminded by a terrorist hoping to spark a religious war, virtually every official and pundit knew better than to take the bait. Except for conservative commentator Ann Coulter, who wrote in a syndicated column on September 12 that in responding to terrorists "we should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity."




More quotes:

By 1973, John Kerry had already accused American soldiers of committing war crimes in Vietnam, thrown someone else's medals to the ground in an anti-war demonstration, and married his first heiress.
Ann Coulter

Democrats always assure us that deterrence will work, but when the time comes to deter, they're against it.
Ann Coulter

Democrats couldn't care less if people in Indiana hate them. But if Europeans curl their lips, liberals can't look at themselves in the mirror.
Ann Coulter

I love to engage in repartee with people who are stupider than I am.
Ann Coulter

I've decided to cut out the part of the speech where I say anything nice about Democrats.
Ann Coulter

If John Kerry had a dollar for every time he bragged about serving in Vietnam - oh wait, he does.
Ann Coulter

If we're so cruel to minorities, why do they keep coming here? Why aren't they sneaking across the Mexican border to make their way to the Taliban?
Ann Coulter

Liberal soccer moms are precisely as likely to receive anthrax in the mail as to develop a capacity for linear thinking.
Ann Coulter

Liberals are stalwart defenders of civil liberties - provided we're only talking about criminals.
Ann Coulter

Liberals become indignant when you question their patriotism, but simultaneously work overtime to give terrorists a cushion for the next attack and laugh at dumb Americans who love their country and hate the enemy.
Ann Coulter

My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building.
Ann Coulter

Taxes are like abortion, and not just because both are grotesque procedures supported by Democrats. You're for them or against them. Taxes go up or down; government raises taxes or lowers them. But Democrats will not let the words "abortion" or "tax hikes" pass their lips.
Ann Coulter

The Democrats have no actual policy proposals of their own unless constant carping counts as a policy.
Ann Coulter

The New York Times editorial page is like a Ouija board that has only three answers, no matter what the question. The answers are: higher taxes, more restrictions on political speech and stricter gun control.
Ann Coulter

The really amazing part, to me, was when Florida made it into the Final Four, the Democrats didn't demand a recount.
Ann Coulter

They've hit us and we've got to hit back hard, and I'm not just talking about the terrorists.
Ann Coulter

Usually the nonsense liberals spout is kind of cute, but in wartime their instinctive idiocy is life-threatening.
Ann Coulter

We don't want someone who will get 98 percent of the vote. We want someone who will get 51 percent of the vote.
Ann Coulter

We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren't punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That's war. And this is war.
Ann Coulter

We've finally given liberals a war against fundamentalism, and they don't want to fight it. They would, except it would put them on the same side as the United States.
Ann Coulter

When we were at peace, Democrats wanted to raise taxes. Now there's a war, so Democrats want to raise taxes. When there was a surplus, Democrats wanted to raise taxes. Now that there is a mild recession, Democrats want to raise taxes.
Ann Coulter

Whenever a liberal begins a statement with 'I don't know which is more frightening,' you know the answer is going to be pretty clear.
Ann Coulter

Whether they are defending the Soviet Union or bleating for Saddam Hussein, liberals are always against America. They are either traitors or idiots, and on the matter of America's self-preservation, the difference is irrelevant.
Ann Coulter

While the form of treachery varies slightly from case to case, liberals always manage to take the position that most undermines American security.
Ann Coulter

Re: Next American President: Who Would You Vote For?

Well, here I go again. I promised myself that I would no longer engage in political debate here, but it seems that the projected victor in this race has finally chosen a running mate.



(Looks like a winning team to me. )
