Vote for Lola

AMEN!! I am a tongue-caressing card-carrying whale of a tale pointing a fickle middle-finger at the fated award that took away all my votes when i was born. see... i have to be who i am. ~A

the only thing I relate to is the "green" part. your candidate and I are exact opposites. I'm a right wing, gun packin' Conservative half homophobic tree hugger. At least if we ran against each other, the people would really have a choice! Excellent write my friend, even if we disagree. :~) ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- - "Everyone needs to believe in something.

sounds a whole lot more promising than the other candidates running, I am kinda partial to having a gun in this day and time, but other than that!!!! got my vote... Richard

I am not a gun-toter... I used to be, back in my more stupid days. Now I just want the option of defending my home if need be, you know... for the chaos... the chaos that could be.. I would use my 6lb chain on anyone else..ha if I had the chance to use it that is... a debate is a good thing... Richard

High Noon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eCMEsv44ho&feature=related The Good, the Bad and the Ugly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awskKWzjlhk Too bad we haven't gotten over our white and black hat mentality. Sorry. Though it is our *right to bear arms* neither the bobbies in the UK nor her people *bear arms*. Makes for equality in a less bloody sort of way. The founding fathers did not make provisions for crimes engendered and enhanced by the computer-age or weapons of mass destruction. ~A

If your Lola ran for President here in the good ole USA she would have a chance like anybody else, and that's the whole point. that she could run and we could talk as we do without fear of reprisals. So if you think you could do better, then you come and run. I'll vote for you just to see what you can do, which will properly be no better than the rest. So in short I'm glad your not American, and I can say this because in every Ame-rican there a Puerto Rican. Sounds like I know what I'm talking about, but just like you I don't!! Thanks, Eddie

Let me know once you draw up a name for this fabulous party. lol. I thought of the song lola when I read this. Seriously though, I've looked a little into some of the third parties and was disappointed by how most had conservative leanings. The U.S. was not always split between left and right, democrat and republican. There have been plenty of successful parties that rose up and died. I would love to see another strong third party rise up. I watched a dozen international reports on the US presidential election. It was interesting to see what each country would focus on. I am curious how much coverage you get of this election in Australia. Enough of wee American politics. Glad to see new writing from you. Love the edge and sarcasm.

lol... with all the lola critera, anti-war was a *given*.... ~A

Kinda child play in your poetry much pun and fun you are having here. Cleverly written debate. In politic I am neutral none can get the job done to solve all the issues we face on this earth. Free choice is a illusion for many. Only a select few actually have it. Respectfully Yours, Barbara

Heh Heh - as always you hit hard and hit the mark! Excellent! Kaz It's impossible to smile on the outside without feeling better on the inside.

"Free choice is an illusion for many. Only a select few actually have it." Only when illusions and delusions are seen through for what they are can we be free enough to practice freedom... With great respect, Anna

We agree on the anti-war. So right-wing, gun packin' Christian conservative, half homophobic treehugger who's against the war.... Zowie! Put that in your ZigZag and smoke it, eh? LOL! 2 out of 5 ain't bad. :~) ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- - "Everyone needs to believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer!" - "Due to budget cutbacks, the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off."

no bi at all! What I mean by "half" is that as long as they ain't hittin' on ME or flaunting it in public, then I don't give a hoot what they do. If they keep it private, and I don't have to see it/hear about it/run away from it - then there's nothing to be concerned about.... I guess... BTW - nice Lola reference from the song "Lola" - (s)he played both sides of the game, too. I assume that's where Lola came from for this poem. X~D Congrats on the giving up smoking! Yay Jess! *does a cheer* ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- - "Everyone needs to believe in something.

humurously you have hammered your point. Good way of writing

i don't think i'm making a quantum leap by posting this here: ENJOY IT everyone!!!!! ** Important, please read thoroughly! To the citizens of the United States of America from Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II In light of your failure in recent years to nominate competent candidates for President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately. Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths, and territories (except Kansas, which she does not fancy). Your new Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, will appoint a Governor for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed. To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect: (You should look up 'revocation' in the Oxford English Dictionary.) 1. Then look up aluminium, and check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it. 2. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'colour', 'favour' and 'neighbour.' Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' with out skipping half the letters, and the suffix '-ize' will be replaced by the suffix '-ise'. Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. (look up 'vocabulary'). ------------------------ 3. Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as 'like' and 'you know' is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. There is no such thing as US English. We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell- checker will be adjusted to take account of the reinstated letter 'u' and the elimination of -ize. ------------------- 4. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday. ----------------- 5. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers, or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not quite ready to be independent. Guns should only be used for shooting grouse. If you can't sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist then you're not ready to shoot grouse. ---------------------- 6. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. A permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public. ---------------------- 7. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour. -------------------- 8. The Former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling gasoline) - roughly $10/US gallon. Get used to it. ------------------- 9. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with catsup but with vinegar. ------------------- 10. The cold tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as beer, and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as Lager. South African beer is also acceptable as they are pound for pound the greatest sporting Nation on earth and it can only be due to the beer. They are also part of British Commonwealth - see what it did for them. American brands will be referred to as Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine, so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion. --------------------- 11. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie Macdowell attempt English dialogue in Four Weddings and a Funeral was an experience akin to having one's ears removed with a cheese grater. --------------------- 12. You will cease playing American football. There is only one kind of proper football; you call it soccer. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American football, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body Armour like a bunch of nancies). Don' t try Rugby - the Aussies, South Africans and Kiwis will thrash you, like they regularly thrash us. --------------------- 13. Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the World Series for a game which is not played outside of America. Since only 2.1% of you are aware that there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. You will learn cricket, and we will let you face the South Africans first to take the sting out of their deliveries. ------------------- 14. You must tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us mad. ----------------- 15. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due (backdated to 1776). --------------- 16. Daily Tea Time begins promptly at 4 pm with proper cups, with saucers, and never mugs, with high quality biscuits (cookies) and cakes; plus strawberries (with cream) when in season.
