Quotes on Votes (and a few relevant links)
Spider Jerusalem
Transmetropolitan by Warren Ellis“They keep voting for lizards, even though they hate them, because if they didn’t the wrong lizard might get elected.”
~~ Ford Prefect (Douglas Adams)“It does not do to rely too much on silent majorities, Evey, for silence is a fragile thing… one loud noise and it’s gone.”
~~ V (Alan Moore)“Our elections are free — it’s in the results where eventually we pay.”
~~ Bill Stern“Anything important is never left to the vote of the people. We only get to vote on some man; we never get to vote on what he is to do.”
~~ Will Rogers“The vote means nothing to women. We should be armed.”
~~ Edna O’Brien“Democracy is a form of government that substitutes election by the incompetent many for appointment by the corrupt few.”
~~ George Bernard Shaw“I have just received the following wire from my generous Daddy. It says, ‘Dear Jack: Don’t buy a single vote more than is necessary. I’ll be damned if I am going to pay for a landslide.’”
~~ John F. Kennedy“Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich by promising to protect each from the other.”
~~ Oscar Ameringer“We stand today at a crossroads: One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other leads to total extinction. Let us hope we have the wisdom to make the right choice.”
~~Woody AllenMake-Believe Maverick, an article from Rolling Stone (and thanks to my new Xanga friend Carynn for the link)

I liked Oscar Ameringer’s the best
Oscar, Will R., & Edna have my vote.
Funny quotes, I liked the Oscar one as well. I thought the first one was good to though, (Granted, for me it doesn’t apply to this election!)
Good links :]
Woody Allen wins.
i know that i gotta stay clean its just a matter of taking it day by day..
@janedoex0 - I’m going to send you a personal message in reply to this comment.
I’m with Ford Prefect: the more I hear from each of the two main candidates, the less I want to vote for either one.
cool very intersting
As I see it – - It’s still a two party system – - The Complaceny Party (democrats and republicans) vs the Jeffersonians. I vote the straight Jeffersonian ticket…………….
@hapax23 - A weak central government with no religious ties sounds great to me. Are there any Jeffersonian candidates on the ballot in your neck of the woods?
Speaking of your neck of the woods, I would happily winter on that ridge in Arizona, but it is my strongly held belief that I’d have to be nuts to be anywhere but here in the summer. If I ever get rich enough to be a snowbird, I will look you up.
