Dean is Vulnerable, and Barney the Dinosaur is a Better Candidate
Edited on Tue Jan-06-04 09:25 PM by slinkerwink
;-)

Here's my take on why Barney the Dinosaur is a better candidate against Bush. Who could resist this lovable purple dinosaur? Just look at Barney!



After all, we know that the average American voter votes based on appearance. Dean just doesn't cut it with his silver-haired gravitas or his smile.

Barney has it all in spades, and he's got the votes of children who number more than 100 million in this country. Everybody, even Republican children, loves Barney. See those children below?



Who are we to argue with the voters?

28. Nice wave.
Can't you see Dean riding the curl, while the others are tumbling around in the undertow?

5. Slink, don't pay the detractors any mind.
Obviously, they are getting to you. Or you are wickedly funny.

6. Barney can't win. He has no speedo shot
Without a Speedo shot, a Democrat might as well just give up.

11. Barney is too angry.
Have you ever seen him explode in a debate or an interview? It's not pretty. The guy has a real temper problem and this will turn off the Middle American voter.

34. Childhood nightmares of Barney? Dear god, John...
You're making most of us feel older than dirt. (I'm only 28, but I was in college for Barney's peak...)

Yes nightmares. We have to bring Barney :scared: in to the political discussion. Maybe someone should start a Stop Barney movement ;).

25. Grow up! Look at Barney's poll numbers! It's NOT HAPPENING!
Dream of Bedrock and rhe Flintstones all you want, but he has neither the money, nor the endorsements to win this thing.

However, I might reconsider if he could persuade Tinky-Wink to run as his VP. The Tinkster has great southern support and he's not DLC!

42. To hell with Big Bird. He's trying to subvert the democratic process,
wanting us all to rally around Barney instead of letting us make our own decision before a single vote has been cast.

39. Barney is reportedly on the take from Vermont Yankee. . .
. . . apparently, he has even written leftist appeals into his songs that are both too left-wing for America because they support civil unions, but at the same time, far right of the mainstream because they're loaded with support for corporate perks!

right-winged, and just too winged in general...

43. Come over to Skeletor. . .
He's warm and cuddly now, and definitely a role model for little kids. All these people dwelling on his history as a supervillain are clearly distorting the record to support the unelectable utopian pie-in-the-sky Barney leftism.

Just how controversial is "I love you, you love me..."?
