Why do the national debates exclude Jack Grimes' candidacy?

Edited on Tue Jan-15-08 01:56 PM by dmesg

I mean, look at him:

And the platform! Sheer genius!

The United Fascist Union was incorporated in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania in 1996 as a non-profit political club to promote the economic theories and political ideologies of Benito Mussolini and Saddam Hussein.

Fascism is the one economic theory that has been proven time after time. It can raise the standard-of-living and improve the quality of life for all citizens fortunate enough to live in a Fascist Country. This should be a very good reason for importing these ideologies to America as everyone deserves a better quality of life than they have had under the oligarchy of the mega bankers and billionaire elite.

Clearly we cannot allow this candidate to continue in obscurity...

1. Interestingly, other parts of his platform include:

Universal rent control

Government contracts to non-outsourced manufacturing industry even if we don't need the stuff they're making for the purpose of employing people

Damming Big Elk Creek so that it stops flooding his hometown of Elkton, MD

The first two, at least, are interesting.

2. Here's a working link...

After laughing at his picture for a few minutes, I read some of his statements. Unfortunately, I think a lot of Americans would buy what he is selling if they were exposed to his ideas. Hell, he even supports universal health care.

3. But... but... the regalia! The Regalia!

Don't we need a leader courageous enough to wear that helmet?

6. Mercer - Grimes in '08? That's bi-partisanship for you n/t
