Wouldn't it be nice to know how the RHP members would vote in a presidential election if it would be held now, february/march 2004.
If you want to vote for KERRY, please push the <Recommend> button of THIS post.
If you want to vote for Bush please push the <Recommend> button of the NEXT post.

If you want to vote for neither of them because
a) you think they're as bad as each other,
b) you don't much care about US politics,
c) you consider this to be a cunning attempt on ivanhoe's behalf to get his Total Recommendations up into double figures 😉, or
d) other
then please push the <Recommend> button belonging to THIS post 😉

I am as innocent as can be. 😀
I just want to see how people will vote. The number of people that doesn't vote is not relevant, because in reality (the real elections) these nonvoters are irrelevant too,
Now you claim that this is just a cunning attempt to get my total Recs up into double figures. The thought never ever crossed my innocent mind. 🙄
If you have trouble with the fact that my recs will go up like a Saturn spacerocket, we can ask Russ to subtract the number of recs I will receive holding this election. However if you guys think I deserve all of them because of the original idea 😏 , maybe I will be allowed to keep them.
There are people receiving recs for less ....... 😉

I cheated. I voted three times. Learned that from watching democratic politics since I was a kid. But. You can't prove it. Because "it" all depends on what the meaning of "it" is, doesn't "it"?

<edit> This should be obvious, but this is why i'm for the electoral college. When you decide to "buy" an election... as is often done, the same person physically votes many times under different names at different polling stations. This is a tried and true method. The "voting" lists and "registrar" list is easily manipulated. Then all that is required is a live body who can make an x on a line. No ID is required, "by law". Think about that one. Who made the law? And Why? The who is obvious. The crime racket known as political parties. The "why" part is what makes me angry. "So that the poor and oppressed can never again suffer at the most sacred of places, the polling booth." Ok. So no ID required. Ain't that something? Elections mean nothing if you are willing to rig them. Done all the time.

One more thing, is the president of the U.S. allowed to vote on himself?

This is an abuse of the system!Not a big one but enough of an abuse to irritate me.
😠
Just to make things clear. I've proposed in a previous post in this thread that I don't mind Russ subtracting the recs I will receive holding this fun election from my total number of recs. No problem.
