It is a time of fear in the face of freedom, a time for the widening of previous roads and the opening of new paths, a time of an emptying country and swelling cities, yet a time when these paths are mined by knowing algorithms of the all-seeing eye. It is the time of the warrior's peace and the miser's charity, when the planting of a seed is an act of conscientious objection.
 | What’s the Stupidest Reason to Vote for a Presidential Candidate? |
To inject some fun on the eve of the South Carolina Democratic Party presidential primary, I’d like you to try to come up with the stupidest reason to vote for a presidential candidate.
To get the ball rolling, here’s the stupidest reason I can think of so far:
You should vote for Barack Obama or John Edwards for President because their names are easier to burp than Hillary Clinton’s. But don’t just take my word for it: try it yourself!

It would be really stupid to vote for a major party candidate because you think he or she is the candidate of change.

It would be exceptionally stupid to vote for a presidential candidate just because someone else somewhere in some other state did.

Oh, let’s see: hair color or “do”, their “good looks”, gender, race, bumper sticker comments, attack ad comments, poll numbers, or because (s)he’s the one for whom the boss (or the church elder, pastor, or pope) wants you to vote, coin flip (or other chance reason), where the candidate stands on ONE issue only, or the candidate with the most money. That’s a start anyway.

Burp? Burp the word “Barack”? hee, heee……The gargling frogs come to mind immediately. I sense a new video in the offing.

Oh, you laugh now… Go ahead, try burping “Hillary,” and you’ll find that your esophagus does a 180. Not very comfortable at all!
The sacrifices I endure in pursuit of Truth. Ah, me.

“He/she is the kind of person you’d like to have a beer with.” Enough of that rubish.

Yeah! What about a glass of wine? What’s so wrong with a nice merlot?

To “prove” that you’re not a racist, or that “race doesn’t matter”.

To “prove” that you’re not a sexist, or that “gender doesn’t matter”.
