Yes, please.

Don’t make me tell my “I voted for Barry Commoner in 1980 and sniffed assholes for TWELVE FUCKING YEARS” story again.

The old-timers will leave the room, and I’ll have to buy my own drinks.

Uke, I think I’ve seen you mention that story elsewhere. But, if the shoe fits, I’ll wear it. 😉

Bush  
I’m from Texas, but that doesn’t have anything to do with it. I voted for Bush because he’s the better man for the job. (if Harry Browne had half a chance, I would’ve voted for him)

None of the above; giving us only two choices is not smart:)

I’m going to vote either for my mother or for whoever andygirl was going to vote for.

Gore.  
I would have voted McCain, but the idiot GOP primary voters decided to pick a jackass instead of a patriot.

Gore.

How anyone can vote for Bush, who’s only a slightly more intelligent version of Dan Quayle is beyond me. BTB, if that was a man on page one who said he was voting Bush because of abortion issues: men only have the right to join in the abortion debates when they get a UTERUS!
