4. Hey, Spotted Owls are awesome!
However, I agree. No matter who it is. I can't vote for Romnitron, McInsane, Chuckabee, or St. Rudy.

44. But if you just toast him....
Edited on Wed Jan-09-08 06:02 PM by AnneD
he'll be accused of being soft on immigration and if you put him with a bit of chocolate-he'll be accused of pandering to blacks. Yeah-he has to rely on the graham cracker platform......





gee-all of a sudden I'm hungry.......

21. Thank you. All the infighting in the Dem party is kind of disconcerting
I know I'll vote Dem no matter who wins also. Even if the person has pissed me off over and over. The only hope this country has is with a Democratic administration.

22. Suppose it only looks like a spotted owl, but is really a particularly
vicious eagle owl? Or a panther dressed up as an spotted owl?

23. Are you SERIES???!!!?11!!
This nation is not ready to have a spotted owl for president. As unpleasant as it is, you know there are people who still hate spotted owls, and it will mobilize the republicans to show up to vote en force if our party nominates a spotted owl.
IMO a great horned owl is more electable.

28. I'll only go this far, I'll write-in Douglas Fir for some office every election
if everyone else will :rofl: Unlike Bushes, trees don't lie!

Douglas is a steadfast, straight-standing dude, not easily swayed, who won't run, but we can write him in in the dog catcher slot.

38. why should mice have only the choice of electing owls?
And isn't that a disheartening problem for progressive Democrats?

Here's a political fable from a Canadian socialist who represented the mice:

41. You obviously don't give a hoot about our democracy!
A spotted owl vote is a vote for special interests over non-avian commoners.

It is different to not have a hat picked in the ring, or a kid in the playpen. Anyone else just enjoying the show?
