If you are a conservative, chances are you're going to the polls in November holding your nose.

Voter Aides has a great new product, made just for you.
Although vPlugs are a valuable tool to assist you in voting for a candidate you don't support, Voter Aides Inc. is not responsible for broken campaign promises or any other use of presidential powers. We make no claims of a smaller government, lower tax rates, strict constructionist judges, free speech protection, appropriate interrogation of captured terrorists, continued Gitmo policy, securing our borders, drilling in ANWR, and rejection of man-made global warming myths.
I hope the factories are working overtime to meet the demand.
May I also suggest some headphones to translate the candidates speeches into something more believable to the masses. I'm sure our IT guy, Al Gore, can have something in no time.
Oh, my! I think all the Hope has Changed the formatting of the thread!!
I Hope it’s OK for me to Change Betty’s VoteforHillaryVoteforHillary string, which screwed up the format.
Could Premier Betty be a TPC saboteur? I say Yes!
And I denounce Premier Betty, for he is an enemy of the state.

Voter Blinders, will they keep me from seeing things like this??
Quote
This morning, my wife and I went to our local polling place in Kennesaw, Georgia. (The Martha J Moore Educational Services Center)
As we walked towards the building, we noticed several signs that led us to the polling entrance. When we got inside, someone asked what this particular building was used for and they were told, "teachers come here for training."
I'm so proud of our Educational Services Center! I bet they put out some fine teachers.
Sea-Bass, what you are seeing here is not the product of poorly educated teachers or poll workers. This is a demonstration of the true fairness and benevolence of the Democratic Party. Knowing that all of the Rethuglican voters in Georgia are semi-literate, mouth-breathing Christofascists, they printed the sign phoenetically, just to make sure that these haters could not later complain that they were confused or unable to find the polling place. See? They even put a red arrow up for the truly illiterate part of that pathetic party (the ones who don't plan to vote for McCain).
V-Plugs? Voter Blinders? V-Ear? Only for people with no principles. There's only one way to vote in the upcoming election. I'm standing on principle. I'm making my vote count. I'm writing in Putin!
Using a preacher to syphone votes off Romeny was brillant. Marx would be proud! Isn't great we have candidates from both isles? Next year, we'll get Mugabe (R) to run. All we have to do is stuff a bible under his arm. Good think the GOP is lowering it's standards. At this rate, we'll get socialism on the party platform next to guest worker programs.
John McCain’s mom said that members of the conservative base are going to have to “hold their noses” and vote for her son.
My good friends at the People’s Cube have come up with the perfect voter aid to help:
Forget the noseplugs. Should John McCain end up stealing this election from Hillary, I'm just gonna do what all the Hollywood celebrities are always threatening to do if a Republican gets elected.
That's right! I'm moving to England. I hear Paul McCartney's back in circulation, and he's pretty lax about prenups.
This is very dangerous to The Party. I voted for Ross Perot in '92 but have been rehabilitated at the state self-esteem academy and now stand proud whenever I see progressive giant Ruth Badder-Ginsberg. If v-plugs had been available, I might have voted for you-know-who instead of the spoiler, and my re-education would have taken longer. Ban v-plugs! Instead, promote the noble wish for winning by losing.
Welcome to the Cube, kevinv! Nice work. Is this the new currency called Amero they're talking about, modeled on Euro?
Thank you...
The original version (not created by me) had Bush's face on the bill instead. I jazzed it up a bit and changed a few things. Thought it was fitting since the GOP just killed it's chances of retaining the White House today. Sorry if there are McCain supporters on here. Just too depressing for me. First Thompson, now Romney...and I have yet to vote in my state's primary.

Greetings from down under, comrade Kevinv. Please add "Rudd/ Gillard" to that list of anti's, just to satisfy the Cube's lone Antipodean.
Trust me.
<ON>
Now you must whip yourself into character and join the collective, comrade. If you cannot think of a character simply report to the gulag with a shovel and some gardening gloves and our Glorious Leader Red Square will provide you with one. Judging by your "anti's" above, you are in desperate need of re-education. Or as our PM says down here, an "education revolution".
Welcome Comrade Kevinv! As you are new to The Party™ it is mandatory that you report to the nearest Karl Marx Treatment Center for proper re-education into Socialist dogma. As well as conditioning to worship our Many Tittied Empress, Her Excellency Hillary Rodham Clinton. It is necessary that all Party members achieve purity of Socialist consciousness. You are now a cog in a much larger machine that is The Party™. Do it now! Do it for The Children™.
All you have to do is look deep inside your consciousness and find the Inner Comrade. Nurture and cultivate him. Once he's grown to the proper size, he will start telling you what to think. Eventually, as his growth continues, he will replace the rest of your useless reactionary self inside your body, taking a full possession of your brain and other party organs. That is when you will know you are ready for a promotion to a Commissar.
Eventually, as his growth continues, he will replace the rest of your useless reactionary self inside your body, taking a full possession of your brain and other party organs.
He parlays the Pravda, comrade; just look at me, the perfect model of the New Soviet Man (or brain in a jar).

Or you could just go to a public school in California and listen to a few teachers lecturing during class....
Comrade kevinv, The Cube can always use a few unenlightened, christo-fascist reactionary lap dogs of The People's Enemies around for some entertainment. My "dear" cousin, $.$. Halliburton is also a member here, although I DO denounce him every day. (Being a surprisingly generous hate-monger, cousin $.$. still directs his loyal minion Margaret to send me gifts of single malt Scotch and warm wool blankets woven in the fugly Halliburton tartan. Use the Class Oppressor's own item against him in the struggle. I learned this from Chomsky and $oro$, among others.)
Just because you are a member of The Cube, when the Revolution comes this November, you will NOT be among the first against the wall. In fact, if it pleases the Party Leaders, I will save a place for you at the William J. Clinton Memorial Reeducation Center and Uranium Mine, unless our Beloved Betters decide to send you to The Karl Marx Treatment Center instead.
Fear not for within the year, the Bu$h Error will have ended, a Glorious new day of Audacious Hope™ will have dawned and we will allow you to mine yellowcake uranium for The Common Good™ of The People and especially The Children! The State and The Party will allow you to suffer a slow, miserable death learn to be a proper Citizen of our Progressive Utopia while providing a fuel source for our new Ecomagination™ Green power facilities to be located near leading (i.e. "loyal") areas of population.

Is this man crazy? The wrong place? I believe that the only cure for weak liberalism is STRONG COMMUNISM. Personally, I am a Putin man through and through. He's the only one worth my vote.
Forget the noseplugs. Should John McCain end up stealing this election from Hillary, I'm just gonna do what all the Hollywood celebrities are always threatening to do if a Republican gets elected.
That's right! I'm moving to England. I hear Paul McCartney's back in circulation, and he's pretty lax about prenups.
Commissarka, why the negativity? Do you not understand that even if, Lenin forbid, McCain should cheat the Empress our of what is her due, all is not lost! The Progressive World of Next Tuesday is now a fact, only the perfection of it would be delayed a few months or so. No, McCain is not what as good as we desire, but all that we wish to accomplish will be done, it will just be a bit longer in the implementation.
<character>Comrades, I really am going to vote for Our Many Titted Empress in the Texas primary because in my county there is no Republican primary, and our Empress is easier to beat than Obamarama, who is, unfortunately for the Republicans, likable and therefore more dangerous. He's also being posited as being the president we want because other heads of state will like him. Diplomacy by pat-a-cake and sleep-overs. I'm about to hurl.
On this theory I've voted for Jesse Jackson and a local slimeball named Lloyd Doggett, on the theory that they had the most ability to harm the Demothieves</on>
Comrades, do not despair of Our Many Titted Empress' eventual accession to the Thrown of Perpetual Power. She is the irresistible force in the universe, the gamma ray burst of the cosmos. And to insure it I say a thousand Heil Hitlers every day before a picture of Our Empress.
I agree with Theocritus. Republicans should vote for Hillary now in their respective primaries now that McCain has the nomination all sewn up. If Hillary gets close to the nomination and Superdelegates hand her what she needs to win we can all watch the demise of the Democrat Party (Chicago '68 Redux! YAY!). The Obama Occultist will be completely disillusioned and demoralized if the Superdelegates overide their mandate which will thus split the Democrats going into November. A VOTE FOR HILLARY IS A VOTE FOR ABSOLUTE CHAOS ON THE LEFT! Watching the Democrats split is CHANGE THAT I CAN BELIEVE IN. Spread the word and vote for HillDog.
<off>And there is something else. Last night Our Empress addressed a gathering of about 1000 at the University of Texas at El Paso. El Paso, like all of West Texas, is heavily Hispanic. They were going all for her. The entire audience was Hispanic. Every single one. Which means good advance people but by Hispanics only.
One of the things, a rather sad thing, that I learned growing up is the hatred that the blacks and the browns have for each other, at least here in Texas. Much more so than between whites and anyone else. I have a very comical story I'll tell one time about my funny and intelligent black friend Ruby and a lovely and graceful Mexican woman named Gracie--they loathed each other and the gringos watched in bemusement.
If Obamarama gets the nomination, it is barely possible that the Hispanics, who are heavily Democratic in Texas, may be more anti-black. I've seen stranger. Texas will vote Republican, being the reddest of the big states, but if this hatred is constant all over, it could pose a problem for the Democrats.
<off> It is a tough call, Theocritus. There are so many different ways to beat the Dems this cycle - that is if we can get behind McCain without gasping for air. If Obama get the nom. he is sure to lose the Hispanic vote while McCain - for obvious reasons - capitalizes on it.
If Hill gets the nom. black voters will feel setup and disenfranchised by the Superdelegates since they are the likely culprits who will give Hill the remaining delegates she needs to win which, in turn, demoralizes that key voting bloc. So either way you want to cut it there are some serious flaws that media just loves to ignore when talking about the potential looming Democrat crack-up.
I mean right now the NAACP and Al Sharpton are asking for the Michigan and Florida delegates - who went for Hillary - to be seated. Both Sharpton and the NAACP know their Civil Rights/Race Card racket is in jeopardy is Obama gets close to the White House and they will fight tooth and nail to get Hillary those delegates to prevent that from happening.
<off>I'd made up my mind to vote for McCain regardless of the others, although I loathe a lot of is policies--most of them, and he's childish. Reputedly there was a disagreement over who got to use a toilet in the Senate washroom and McCain stormed out, screaming, "Fuck you." This was not the entirely justified saying of Dick Chaney to Pat "Mole Rat" Leahy (pictures of that soon), but mere temper.
And I do not discount his service to his country, but the post is too important for that to be overmastering. My reason, my overarching one, is that he best understands that we are in a war now which I think is more serious than the Cold One because the moonbats are simply too frivolous to realize that a large religion is determined to take the world into another dark ages of religious fundamentalism.
The west has technology, wealth, money and power. But it doesn't have the cultural confidence and it will get worse. Of first-world countries only America and New Zealand have birth rates which are sustainable. Greece's is 1.3 child per woman, just below stable population. Italy, 1.2, Spain 1.1. Those large Italian families are gone, folks, gone. The Spaniards will be victims of a second Reconquista in 50 years.
Mark Steyn's book America Alone is sobering reading. One can hope that arguments that Europe has lost its cultural confidence are wrong or can be reversed. But the demographic argument that (1) Europe's welfare state, engorged for not having to defend itself because we have been, is (2) dependent on an increasing population--the typical welfare-state Ponzi scheme and (3) the only workers to come in are Muslims which (4) Europe will allow to vote to (5) take Europe into a second Dark Ages. I have, as you may guess, a particular interest in this not happening. I don't look at a wall and want it to fall on me. For that sort of self-hatred I'd have to be a moonbat.
America's birthrate is 2.5 children per woman, a good and necessary thing. And folks, lots of those babies are brown babies. I sit here in West Texas and year after year I see more and more of the Mexicans utterly assimilated; in the last 20 years more are taking mortgages on an equal footing, buying cars the same, and, sadly, divorcing the same as gringos. I don't speak German or Gaelic and don't want to. The only problem that I have with immigration is multiculturalism. Which sets everyone against everyone else, giving spokesmen power. The ironic thing is that, as you noted Meow, setting one group against the others makes concerted effort difficult. Multiculturalism is only possible with a common enemy, and as more and more groups are conscripted into the ranks of the groups-spoils system, there will be fewer carcasses to pick and they'll set on each other.
Topic for discussion perhaps in the bunker: I'd thought that these people were evil but I think that they're utterly frivolous, letting evil people in, just as for example Augustine wasn't evil but Torquemada used him for his evil. I saw a BBC documentary which pointed that up. And it really doesn't make sense to think of Nanski as being evil; she defines frivolous.
As far as McCain goes, I follow Sean Hannity's philosophy; get behind whoever is the Republican nominee to stop Hillary (and Obama). This will be the first election (general of course) that I ever take part in (I learned from 2006, and regret that I did not vote), I am not going in there expecting to vote "for" anyone, but against. It is a sad thing that democracy always comes to this point, but it seems as if it always does.
Even if you do get a RINO in office, it is not going to be as bad as Hillary Care or a president who has an Islamic past that promises "Change". The fact that he leaves everything so broad scares me. On the other hand, take Her Majesty and her health plan, once that goes into effect, there is no turning back. To my knowledge, not a single socialist program gets dismantled after it has been introduced.
Neither one of those Democratic candidates that run would be the better choice out of the other.
I could see people getting their fill of it and changing (no jokes) thier minds, but the damage will have been done by then.

<off>Red, the problem with socialism is more than the usual demands of those being served to be continued being served but also the people who are doing the serving, who are usually discounted, are the most powerful lobby to continue it. If poverty programs worked, then the people who make a handsome living doing well by doing good would have to get a good job.
If there weren't an endless supply of sick people, doctors would do best by keeping people sick enough to need them and not cure them. Same with social workers.
People who get paid for solving problems, or seeming to solve them, have no interest in solving them for their livelihood depends on process, not results. Do not ever expect the UN for that reason to solve anything, for if they did, they'd have to get a job. One whose wages were taxed.

Nah, they've already got the narrative planned for this. The Democratic Leadership Council and the media are little more than puppet organizations for the corporate-fascist right. Hillary is their candidate and they will do whatever it takes to make her the nominee. In other words, if Obama doesn't get the nomination, it will be because... you guessed it! It was stolen from him and the legitimate voters by the evil right wing that controls everything. If the Party is split it will not be the fault of the Party faithful but right wingers who have burrowed deep within the organization.
I've already heard this theory advanced by at least one anti-Hillary yellow dog moonbat I know, quite a while before primary season. This person is nothing but a political mouth piece so I know it wasn't an original thought. I suppose that if Hillary wins Texas, it will also be blamed on right wing, red state shenanigans.
I could be wrong but I really don't think that Obamarama will win Texas. But bear in mind that moonbats are thin on the ground here. I know that there are lots of them, in particular the caves around Austin and Sonora, but still, for a large state we have the fewest moonbats. Outside the People's Republic of Austin.
According to latest propaganda err information put out to Propaganda Minististries (Sometimes known as Main Stream Media) Glorious BO is now leading MTE in Great Red Sun State of Tejas.
Vote will go on never the less even though outcome is decided by Comrades in Poll Division of Propaganda Ministry as most excellent Poll Workers in Unity have already been given marching orders to go to Poll Places and accept winning BO Ballots graciously. There is no disrupting the Machine once it is set in motion.
All is well in Great Cubed Domain.
Power to the Troddendown.
But let us hope that the Superdelegates can pull through our MTE's victory--I checked the poll results in Texas last night and only one has Obamarama ahead. But the margin of victory is not enough.
Is well known party fact that margin is not necassary. Merely presence of August High Empress will be all that is needed as Delegates are seated. (Those favoring AHE) all others will be directed to nearest Gulag for re-indoctrination on correct way to vote.
Power to the Troddendown.
Comrades, I have today learned that Harold Ickes is in charge of the Superdelagates. He is the singles meanest man on the face of the earth. Our victory is assured.
But I wonder. I love our Many Titted Empress for many reasons, chief among them the fact that she is mean, dishonest, untruthful and powermad. What's not to love. But once, in the Everglades, I saw Harold Ickes jump into a swamp and the gators left.
Ah but Comrade he is one of the party and would usurp rather than oppose. Usurp is accepted practice in party. AHE will be Figurehead with three voices. Hers, Prolertarian Husband and Ickes.
All will be well in Triplicate.
Power to the troddendown and sick cows.
Europe favours Obama but Britons like Clinton
By John Thornhill in Paris

The French, Italians, Spanish and Germans would “vote” for Barack Obama in the US presidential elections – although the British would prefer Hillary Clinton.
An FT/Harris poll of more than 5,000 Europeans found that the two Democratic candidates were by far the most popular, with Mr Obama winning between 35 per cent of the “vote” in Spain and 45 per cent in Italy.
Is Pravda. Party is reaching out to minions in other countries and haveing huge sucess, outlook for Party International is good. Even now HMTE apparatchick is working on making International votes count.
Comrade Ickes is hard at it. Signs are being made even now. 'Everyones' vote should count.
Power to the troddendown and those in other countries that want say in ours.
Guardian of Pravda, why not let other people vote in American elections? What we do is so important that they should be able to vote. It's their right to vote. It's their right to have our money too--that is the money that the Inner Circle here does not have. Never underestimate the power of people who don't have real lives of their own and who want to interfere in others' lives. They're useful idiots people to know.
I am now in negotiations with the people who do the Fine Living channel to have it broadcast to Europe and the Middle East but programmed by The Nation and it will show this fine living done on the backs of the poor and the disenfranchised and the helpless and the voiceless.
It is my hope to make the PDH riot in the streets, and while they're rioting, Comrade Dirk and I will steal their goodies.
This is good plan as long as you remember to share equally with all. (Ensure you get lions share of equal)
Power to the troddendown and 'fainting' women at BO speeches. (Good Ploy da?)
Da. Would make Party bigger and part of International in true sense. Perhaps Comrade Ickes can arrange this.
In meantime will Foreign Countries Michigan and Florida count?
Power to the troddendown and non counted voters. (And votes that don't count)
And we ought to disband our Congress and obey the laws from Brussels. They are so much more enlightened than we are. Did you know that it is a crime to sell fruit in pounds instead of kilograms? Now that's progressive. Completely intrusive, irritating, unnecessary, obstructionist, and meddlesome. It's a descent into busybody hell.
Must have smoking permit also. Da. True oppression progression.Capture their lungs and you capture their hearts.
Power to the troddendown and those who quit smoking.

<off>I know, I know, folks. But he understands better than anyone else the Islamist threat and that is first, last and foremost. If they win, we all die. Fuck everything else. We all die.
Folks, I've done a lot of thinking about this. Men wear beards and towels, women wear burqas and have their clitorises cut off, and homosexuals have walls fall on them. That's Good Old Commissar Theocritus, folks, and I don't much like the idea.
No, he's wet on borders and taxes and plays kissy-face with pinkos--real, not sham ones--but better than anyone else he understand the Islamist threat.
We can split hairs and argue about things like medieval theologians arguing over how many angels can dance on the head of a pin but if we're dead, folks, all that arguing is pretty goddamned stupid.
