I want a pResident that I can sit and have a beer with.
I mean, that's worked the past 7 years or so, hasn't it?

2. I want a president smarter than I am, who cares about this country, and will do the right things.
and, since I don't drink beer, that person will have to be one willing to drink armagnac with me.

19. Me, too, but there ISN'T one.
I'm sorry. The Democratic candidate will be my ultimate choice, but either one of them (remember JEDNE - John Edwards Does Not Exist) still look and sound like cartoon characters of themselves.

Maybe you have to be a cartoon character, an easily readable cliche, to run for President. That seems to be true of both parties. None of them look very bright, they all seem to be playing a part in a musical comedy, you know that they have fatal flaws that will doom us in one way or another.

I'm not trying to suppress the vote, just accepting it as the exercise in farce it's always been.

13. We'll knock over a Canadian brewery dressed as a bunch of Newfies.
We've done such a good job of stirring up shit elsewhere, why not start a fight much closer to home? ;-)

4. I want John Edwards.
He doesn't have to have a beer with me. He just has to jump in and start fixing some of these problems Bush has dumped on us. The beer can come later.

that isn't a republican and doesn't ACT like one with her votes and through her "surrogates" by throwing other "democrats" under the bus-you know for silly reasons, like botching a punch line

8. I never wanted a President that I could drink a beer with
or who acts like a frat boy asshole.

I want one that is waaay smarter than me... I want the best and brightest. I want a leader. And I want one who is in touch with humanity... but not so much that the only place you can envision meeting him or her is at the block party barbecue.

22. Here you go! Print it out...
Edited on Fri Jan-18-08 04:39 PM by tomreedtoon
...on a color printer and attach to your car bumper. You can use clear Contact paper which will help protect it from the rain...and you can always print a new one.

ON EDIT: You know, rather than pay for expensive Photoshop, I use CorelDraw. Old versions work as good as new ones...it comes with Photo-Paint for photos...and you can buy old versions cheap. You don't have to steal it.

adore him.

I'm reminded of Bush standing at a podium, wearing a tux, and saying (without any phony drawl whatsoever), that the 'elite are his base'.

18. I don't want a President who's a moron like me
I don't want a President who is "one of us". I don't want a President who makes me feel good about being a moron. I want a President who is a supremely qualified intellect. I want an intellectual. I want someone who talks down to me and presents difficult concepts that challenge me to grasp them and who doesn't tell me to put food on my family or that our children is a learnin'. I want someone who gives me the peace of mind that a truly gifted brain is in charge.

21. I want a president who's an elitist.
I dont want an average Joe. Reagan was one and he fucked up. Bush Sr. was one and he fucked up. Bush Jr. is one and he ROYALLY fucked up. So yeah, you can see why electing rubes like him is a bad idea.

24. How come, when this comes up, no one ever points out:
Bush CAN'T HAVE A BEER because he is a recovering ALCOHOLIC.

30. Relapses are part of recovery
There's almost no question that he's still drinking, the question is how much and how often.

28. What's funny is you can't even have a beer with Bush.
He's an alcoholic - if you tried having a beer with him, he'd chug eight more, hit on your wife, spill your beer all over the floor, get thrown out by the bouncers, and then you'd be stuck carrying him home while he puked on your shirt.
