Sod it, NEITHER of them!

[Prophet 451]

Since it seems that the party will be utterly divided regardless of which of our remaining candidates is nominated, I figure we should just scrap both of them. Since the Republican party is currently about as popular as the clap at an orgy, I figure we can get away with running pretty much anyone. So, knowing the massive public impact the endorsement of DU has, which of these potential pairings would you vote for?

[MedleyMisty]

1. I had a crush on Optimus Prime when I was a kid

So I voted for him. :)

[Prophet 451]

3. Kudos for admitting that n/t

[yellowdogintexas]

2. Optimus Prime and Bumblebee would certainly

KICK ASS

[AlCzervik]

4. David Cross and Bob Odenkirk. The Mr. Show administration.

[cynatnite]

5. No Kirk/Spock ticket? n/t

[Prophet 451]

7. Edited just for you n/t

[cynatnite]

8. Thank you :) n/t

[newmajority]

6. Skeletor/He-Man 2008!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eOu16x69Pw

[Prophet 451]

9. What the hell was the floating robe called?

He-Man actually came up in conversation the other day and I was stumped as to what the floating robe with the big hat was called.

[Captain Angry]

16. Orko.

And I only know because I watch Robot Chicken, and they're fairly merciless to him.

[Prophet 451]

19. Orko! Thank you! n/t

[cynatnite]

30. I hated Orko...

I really wanted him to die, just like that little Scrappy on Scooby Doo. They were never cute...just annoying as hell.

[Prophet 451]

37. Scrappy Doo!

I SO wanted something horrible to happen to him...

[Captain Angry]

38. Really.

How hard would have been for Fred to accidentally back the Mystery Machine up and flatten him.

Two or three times?

[beac]

50. Why do TPTB always push "junior" characters??

Remeber Muppet Babies?? A travesty!

[xchrom]

10. well as long as the superman is that new cutie on tv -- HIM! nt

[AlCzervik]

13. then if we're going just based on looks i vote for a Christian Bale/Clive Owen ticket.

[Prophet 451]

21. Yummy! n/t

[xchrom]

59. i want to be the moderator at a four way debate then. nt

[beac]

60. The Dreamy Ticket!

[Selatius]

11. I nominate General Zod.

http://www.zod2008.com/

Platform:

I do not take orders. I give them. Congress shall no longer have the ability to impeach me or override my decisions, and the Supreme Court shall not meddle in government affairs.

Your freedom will be expanded. You will be even more free to give your money and lives to me, and to be my eternal subjects.

Eliminate the Iraq War. The Iraq War has shifted $187 billion to the defense industry. How is this "defense industry" to kneel before me? Are my praises to be sung as footnotes in their paperwork? You will stop giving these corporations your wealth. I suggest you put the money into your own schools and health care, so that I may have intelligent, healthy servants. I will indulge your wishes if you all want a Westernized, unpopular regime in Iraq, and I too shall gloat in its troubles, but it will not be done at my expense.

Universal health care. Even a criminal like myself is shocked that millions are not able to get health insurance and cannot pay for basic surgery. Who are these power brokers that allow the pigpen to become wormy and filthy? I demand your very lives, but I am not such an imbecile as to institutionalize suffering and poverty. You have my assurance that this shall change swiftly.

Corporate reform. You people have become disgusting minions to these things you call "corporations". These things take your money and your land, put you into debt, send your jobs overseas, provide you with unsafe foods, and sue you when you say anything bad about them. Yet you people fatten them up at the ballot box. You give them free land, name your stadiums after them, allow them to telemarket you, and even sacrifice your own bankruptcy protections. Quite frankly it astonishes me. I will break this sickly codependency. It is I who shall be your ruler. I shall empower you with wealth to give me as tribute. A corporation cannot bow to me or give me tribute that comes from the heart.

You will buy U.S. made items. Why do you buy Chinese-made items when you know that it sells out the jobs of your family and friends? How will you buy those cheap things when you have no job? You are sending my wealth and tribute to foreign lands. I will not tolerate this.

[Prophet 451]

14. *hands prize*

Greatest. Platform. Ever.

[cynatnite]

24. He's convinced me, but I am disappointed...

Couldn't watch the youtube video 'bod by Zod'.

[johnnycatt]

12. ok who's who?

Bert/Ernie = Hillary
Stewart/Colbert = Obama

[ChuckToddFacts]

15. ChuckToddFact.com

Why don't you add Chuck Todd / Tim Russert to your poll?

[Prophet 451]

20. Can't edit now n/t

[AlCzervik]

23. Chucktoddfacts don't start spamming and the whole ripping off of that tool

Chuck Norris---thats even lamer than he is.

[ChuckToddFacts]

27. ChuckToddFact.com

I am taking part in this very interesting forum. Just because I have a signature attached to my profile does NOT make it SPAM.

At no point ave I simply said nothing. I have made relavent replies with every post I have made. Again, NOT SPAM.

Sorry that you think so.

[AlCzervik]

29. than explain this-

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x3367377#3367414

that has nothing what so ever to do with the op.

[ChuckToddFacts]

33. ChuckToddFact.com

First of all it's "then explain this".

Second, the original poster said (referring to her husband) "he never really pays attention to anything political".

I wanted to comment that I never was never political either, but that changed "within the last few years". I simply added that I love MSNBC and Chuck Todd.

Any why am I explaining myself to you? Thanks for the warm welcome. I WAS having a good time here on the DU forum.

[habitual]

52. that's a big steaming pile of SPAM n/t

[uppityperson]

45. Awww, you ruined all his fun with your improper spelling.

bad chimp, bad. :sarcasm:

[AlCzervik]

46. i know, all of his subject lines are "Chucktoddfact" but he's not spamming, no of course not.

and ripping of Chuck Norris, seriously, does it get any more lame than that?

[uppityperson]

47. Uppityperson.com

No.

[magellan]

71. You want to know the really amusing bit?

His url is wrong.

Bwahahahaha!!

[Solon]

17. Hey, where's Nixon?

[Swamp Rat]

18. Wetzelbill/Kuovski 2008!

:D

[beac]

22. If you vote for Bert & Ernie,

the Congress will just be a rubber-duckie stamp!






(edited for clarification)

[ourbluenation]

25. Gozer the Gozarian/Vigo 08!

[Selatius]

28. Oh yeah, I remember those two.

A good tip is if someone asks if you are a god, you should say yes.

[ourbluenation]

31. and don't cross the streams...

it would be bad.

[Prophet 451]

32. OK, I'm fuzzy on the whole "good/bad" thing. Define "bad" n/t

[Swamp Rat]

34. Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - MASS HYSTERIA!

[trusty elf]

42. "Ask snot what your country can do for you..."

:silly:

[Swamp Rat]

44. Hoi!

Wie gaht's? :hi:

[trusty elf]

49. Salü Swamp Rat!

Mir goht's sehr guet! Und dir?

:hi:

[ourbluenation]

35. try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously...

...and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.

[Prophet 451]

36. OK, important safety tip. Thanks n/t

[cynatnite]

39. Oh, I am so calling bullshit on this one...

the Ghostbusters performed a simultaneous 4-fold crossing directly into the inter-dimensional portal, which then exploded every molecule of Gozer (including her psychic influence) and forced it back through the dimensional "window" from which it entered. The portal collapsed and exploded when Gozer was destroyed.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_Pack

That's absolute proof that crossing the streams is not always bad. :P

[ourbluenation]

41. it's more of a guideline than a rule.

:evilgrin:

[beac]

26. Sherman and Mr. Peabody!

Only the WABAC machine can save us from this mess!

[nadinbrzezinski]

40. My lord YOIU HAD to add Chuthullu

See my avatar!

I guess I have been campaigning for Chuthullu\hustor 2008 for a while now huh!

[TaffyMoon]

43. Spock Would Make An Awesome VP!

Really.

[rch35]

48. Seeing as their is no Yoda/Captain Planet ticket

I had to vote for Kirk and Spock.

[Donnachaidh]

51. you forgot Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee

They have a background of doing the right thing. And they would definitely work on making the world GREEN.

[Prophet 451]

54. Ooooh, that would be a good ticket. Too late to edit though n/t

[Indenturedebtor]

53. Obama '08

:hide:

[tomreedtoon]

55. Stewart at the TOP of the ticket!

Because Colbert is a whiny, egotistical little bitch. He needs to have a keeper like Jane Fonda to put a leash on him and keep him from talking.

[BlueIris]

56. Had to go Kirk/Spock. Time to get some sex scandals in the WH again.

And Spock would make the best vice-president EVER.

[beac]

63. Would O'Hura be the Director of Communications??

;)

[Prophet 451]

66. She'd be the envoy to the U.N. n/t

[NuttyFluffers]

57. i'm rather partial to Nyarlathotep/Yog-Sothoth, but Hastur's a swell guy

Hastur, Hastur, Hastur has a great sense of humor and Cthulhu is a rather jovial family man.

[DireStrike]

58. HEY! BIAS! Where is captain Picard?

Sure, you'd want to have a beer with Kirk, but Picard is the man I want running the country. Running mate... hmm. Ok, a dream ticket. Picard/Kirk. Or Picard/Spock.

[Prophet 451]

65. Gotta have the affable one

Picard's too quiet and thoughtful a man to be treated kindly in politics (shades of John Kerry). I figure he'd be in the Cabinet though. Actually, thinking about it, you could make a whole Cabinet from Star Trek characters.

Energy - Scotty
Transportation - Miles O'Brian
Defence - Sisko
State - Picard
Interior - LaForge
Housing & Urban Development - Deanna Troi
Homeland Security - Worf (suspicious as hell and would you fuck with him?)
Treasury - Quark

You could go on...

[galledgoblin]

73. haha, nice! (n/t)

[JackRiddler]

61. Kirk is a Republican.

As Spock said of Kirk negotiating with the Klingons, "An old earth saying says, only Nixon could go to China."

[blondeatlast]

62. Romy/Michelle nt

[Blue_In_AK]

64. None of these...

:) ... but you wouldn't hear any complaints from me if we dropped both candidates and picked someone else. I haven't been terribly impressed with either.

[Prophet 451]

67. Nor have I, to be honest

I went for Gore or Kucinich, then Edwards. Eventually I settled on Obama, mainly for his willingness to try engaging the voters as adults.

[nemo137]

68. Roslin/Adama

So say we all!

[beac]

76. Now that's a frakin' good ticket.

;)

[Blue_Tires]

69. but what about DU's own Wetzelbill and Kurovski?

[galledgoblin]

70. Captain America/Professor X!! n/t

[Prophet 451]

72. I'd vote for that ticket

Alas, Cap is (currently) dead.

[lpbk2713]

74. Simon & Garfunkel

Pressers and SOTUs would be a lot more interesting.

[Prophet 451]

78. SOTU in song could be fun n/t

[Lilith Velkor]

75. Tinkerbell/Blue Fairy

[Blue_Tires]

77. ugh...after today, time to write in Wonder Woman / Big Barda

[Prophet 451]

79. Hell, I'd go for that

Time to run two real feminists (and if you tell Barda she's not, she'll kick your ass).

[October]

80. Thelma and Louise? Trixie and Alice? Lucy and Ethel?

Only one female listed?

:)

[Prophet 451]

86. I'm British

The only one of those we had was Thelma & Louise and I just plain forgot about them.

[Brigid]

81. Stewart/Colbert

At least they'd keep us laughing. And they're a damn sight smarter than what we're stuck with right now.

[The Gunslinger]

82. Cheech and Chong

[Prophet 451]

84. SOTU would be interesting n/t

[adnelson60087]

83. Iron Man and Hulk...Brains and the Muscle to back him up!

What? Not gonna vote for Supreme Court Nominee??? HULK SMASH PUNY SENATORS!!!

[Prophet 451]

85. Of course, there is the whole "exile" issue to deal with n/t
