Poll question: Who will you vote for?
If, days before the election, Bush is revealed to be Kang and Kerry is revealed to be Kodos, who would you vote for?

Homer: America, take a good look at your beloved candidates. They're
nothing but hideous space reptiles. {unmasks them}
{audience gasps in terror}
Kodos: It's true, we are aliens. But what are you going to do about
it? It's a two-party system; you have to vote for one of us.
{murmurs}
Man1: He's right, this is a two-party system.
Man2: Well, I believe I'll vote for a third-party candidate.
Kang: Go ahead, throw your vote away!
{Kang and Kodos laugh out loud}
{Ralph Nader smashes his "Nader 04" hat}
(Paraphrased from The Simpsons 'Treehouse of Terror VII')

7. Kang is a disgrace to hideous space reptiles.
Vote for Kodos, a true examplar of hideous space reptiles. He's from the Reptilian wing of the Hideous Space Reptiles Party.
