If The US Elections Were Cancelled?

If The US Elections Were Cancelled?

A scary thought, isn't it? As an outsider or a third party watching America and the Americans from the outside, I would say it is; a scary thought, that is. I can safely guess that about half the people in America wouldn't know what to talk about. I mean Sarah Palin goes back to Alaska, there goes more than half the gossip of America, unless you still consider Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears of any "Gossip" value at all.

George Bush must be a relieved man. After almost eight years in the hot seat of being the butt of the joke, or as he would say, "after eight years in the butt of being the hot seat of a joke" people have finally given up on him as far as the entertainment value goes. That people gave up on him more than seven years ago is probably a well kept secret that he has not come upon till now. Maybe Bush senior will let him know once he dons those cowboy boots again and asks for an appraisal.

"How did I do Mama?" he would obviously ask the mom, Barbara, the lack of political judgment and the innocence obviously coming from her side of the family.

"You did good son," She would reply, "Until that b**** Palin came along, Imagine getting more coverage as a candidate than i ever got as the first lady."

"What is with you women, even Laura keeps talking about the same thing."

"That does say a lot about the men in the family"

I really do not know whether it is good or bad for the citizens to be so involved in the political process. Isn't it sickening? I mean talking politics is one thing but selling Sarah Palin bikini photos on the internet is quite another.

So much of money is being spent on the campaigning part and then maybe much more on the electioneering process. Is it really worth it if ultimately the 'Process' comes up with nothing better than George Bush?

I was just wondering if the US elections were canceled now, what would people talk about. It would be like suddenly someone has cut off a lifeline or something. Is America a mature democracy? I don't know. If the people have not realized that the candidate on the top is just going to follow the diktats of the party or his own survival instincts (grossly disproved by Bill Clinton in the Oral Office)it does not really matter if the person in the hot seat is an ass or a bimbo.

Long Live Demo-crazy!

U.S. a Democracy? What Slander!

It's a republic, whose government is chosen behind a democratic smoke-shield. Within a republic, we are 'slaves to the system.' "Government-officials" are little more than higher-paid button-pushers. The election-season is basically an effort to win the affections of the spouse in a pre-arranged marriage---whether we like them or not when we vote for them, the ones the electoral college chooses will 'have their way with us every night' for four years after the results come out (barring the 'annulment' of complete impeachment) ---Buddha tells Uncle MythMan, "Flood the Open Eyes with the Truth, for as Long as You Exist!"

No entertainment cause it is serious

being the butt of the joke, or as he would say, "after eight years in the butt of being the hot seat of a joke" people have finally given up on him as far as the entertainment value goes. That people gave up on him more than seven years ago is probably a well kept secret that he has not come upon till now. Maybe Bush senior will let him know once he dons those cowboy boots again and asks for an appraisal. The uninformed watch Saturday Night Live for their political news and political views here in America Taprial and than act smart. History will tell a good story of Dubya. His heart is to keep America beautiful and protect her not make her ugly like the uninformed are being made to believe she is with parrot phrases and not solutions by the democrat machine. The laugh is on them though. America is not as broken as the squeaky wheel wants you to believe. It only needs oil. We will vote for that. The darts will show impotent and McCain will win this election Taprial.

Good subject

They could talk about the weather....!

Plato did not know America is not a democracy

And Rycharde Manne cussing is not smart. Gosh I hate that. Silly gooses...The uninformed do not know we are not a democracy. I will rephrase that. The uninformed believe we are a democracy. Tsk tsk I blame this on the union ran schools not teaching our kids. The union tells the Obama face when to smile. And still the uninformed will say derogatory things when an accomplishment is made to help them. Our unique republic is to free the hands of the property owners to take care of the ones on programs. Even to help them off of programs. It is supposed to be a positive. One smart thing you did notice although an emotional humorous jab. I did laugh, your quote "amazing what a chimp can do when he puts someone Else's mind to it!" You are right The CHIMP is still in charge. I love our President Mr. Bush no matter how many names the uninformed call him. eggsovresy

If elections are cancelled,

If elections are cancelled, does that mean we won't have to pay the politicians? Or taxes? Or do the old people just remain in office for another two, four, or six years? I wish we could just go back and cancel certain elections...like the primaries. That way, we wouldn't end up with one candidate who pretends to be a conservative but works with Democrats and agrees with their leftist ideologies and passes their socialist legislation, and one candidate with a message like this: Just Words...Just Speeches? There's really no way for the American People to win this time around. And it's been that way for over 16 years. *If you're interested in reading my articles, Click Here.

The time is ripe for a viable third party

Of course, I've been saying that since 2000. If a third party can really get the message out to the masses, who knows. Free Wings Party, hmmmmm. Maybe I'll look into that. :)

 
 

The bird is the word

" both parties need to go back to the drawing board, work together, and clean up this stinking, rotten bird we call government. " I'd also like to see a credible third party. Maybe a new bird... you could start the Free Wings Party perhaps? A new, tasty, non-rotten, no-stench bird!

Well, I was being facetious, of course

It would only work if everyone participated, anyway. And that's just ain't gonna happen. But the message I was talking about was that both parties need to go back to the drawing board, work together, and clean up this stinking, rotten bird we call government. As it stands now, even when we change wings it's still the same bird.

 
 

Sending a message

I'm not sure what kind of message it would send to Washington, except that people would rather do nothing than try to make a positive change. It wouldn't change anything in Washington. If people are really fed up, they should vote, contact their representative, write letters to the editor, etc. Since voter turnout is not very high, people who take action and get others involved can make a difference in an election. Maybe they can even get real results from the govt-- like the "Free Chicken Wings" you mention in your comment!

yeah but what if just one person turned up?

Think you'd get the same result with no voters - thought you had an electoral college, like when Texans couldn't figure out how to punch holes on their ballot papers. Money for your Thoughts - join now Epi-BV
