So . . . I wasted my vote, eh?

Hahahaha!!! As a Libertarian, I absolutely am LOVING this ballot controversy. In 1996 and this year, all I heard from the Dumocrats and Retardlicans is “Your wasting your vote!” by voting for Harry Browne.

Well, who wasted their vote NOW? You idiot Democrats in Palm Beach County who couldn’t read the ballot properly and voted for Pat Buchanan? Or you reject Republicans who might have the election stolen from them by Al Gore!

3 weeks of bickering and counting. Yet more proof that it is indeed time for a change in America.

But there is ONE piece of good news that could come out of this election. Hopefully we won’t have a new President by January 20th, and the Libertarian dream will finally come true: the Federal government will shut down as Strom Thurmond’s advisors try to figure out where to dispose of his colostomy bags in the White House garbage! HAHAHAHAAA!!!

Yeah, I wasted my vote, all right.

So, in short, you’re saying “Neener neener neener”?

Wow. What a political genius.

HAHAHAHAHA!!! Everybody, gather 'round! Hahahaha! It’s time for theuglytruths Monthly “Watch me make a complete ass out of myself” Special!

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

:rolleyes:

Actually I thought the OP was kinda humorous.

Let’s see-Nader’s name is mud as far as the Democratic Party is concerned, eliminating any support there he might have had. He didn’t get enough votes for his precious matching funds. It looks like Bush is going to be in the White House, giving the Republican Congress free reign to eliminate those protections both he and the Democrats have fought so hard for.

I’m sure you will go to bed tonight secure in the thought that you “did the right thing and voted your conscience”. It’s just too bad your conscience is too small to include the rest of the us.

Oh please forgive Nader, slythe.
Next time, he will ask Gore and the democrats if he’s allowed to run.
Ad nauseum; if Gore couldn’t do any better against Bush (!), maybe the fault is in Gore.
Sigh.
:slight_smile:

Well, since the Republicans and the Democrats are acting like such children, I figured I’d join the fun!

Well, I don’t know about making an ass out of myself, but I certainly do know THIS, Moderator: whenever you and Cecil see MY name behind an OP you should both get down on your knees and thank your lucky stars because ONCE AGAIN, you are now assured of more than the usual 25 hits a day you usually get on this site.

Your both welcome.

So you’re responsible for all the times the site is slow because it’s too busy. In that case you buy the new server. http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=47052

Wait, ugly. You actually think that your posts contribute significantly to the popularity of this website? Sure, occasionally a thread of yours will get a few extra observers. So does the flaming wreckage of an overturned sedan on the Jersey Turnpike. What’s your point?

And your genius is truly evident in the terms “Dumocrats” and “Retardlicans”. What a hoot. I personally think “Libertardians” has a better ring to it. It’s more fluid, you know? Not that I care to insult any particular political party. It’s so passé

Face it ugly, you posted Just Another Political Rant in the pit. At least the others were a more timely.

D’oh! Now I remember where I saw the name before!

This is the doofus who claimed David B had censored his brilliant article submitted for Teemings, innit?

Someone has serious delusions of grandeur…

The sad thing is that there has been the odd post this person has made that isn’t even that bad. Hey, thats a hell of a lot better than me at least! All of mine suck!

If all the Democrats and Republicans jumped off a cliff, would you jump, too?

If all the Democrats banned guns, would you ban 'em, too?

If all the Republicans banned abortion, would you ban it, too?

Perhaps you should change you name from “TheUglyTruth” to “TheUglySheep”.

Shit! Thanks for reminding me to write my bio thing for Teemings! </shameless plug> :smiley:

No, I’d stand on the side and help push them off.

Sure. After I put them up against a wall and shot them.

Absolutely. But only after passing mandatory 210th trimester and less abortions on all Republicans.

Yeah, I’m the Ugly Sheep all right. After months of Republicans and Democrats begging me to vote for their stooges, and berating me for wasting my vote, I voted my conscience anyway.

I think you need to look elsewhere for your sheep. Sorry I couldn’t fulfill your sexual fantasy.

Oh, I get it! You’re going back to that “Neener neener neener” thing, ain’tcha? With a political philosophy based on such iron-clad arguments, you’re sure to be taken seriously.

I’d like you to find a single quote of mine that ever “begged” you to vote for “my stooge”. I’ll even sweeten the deal, I’ll give you a hundred bucks if you can. (In other words, 'Sheep, you’ve got your head up your ass again… give your large intestine a kiss!)

So you saw the TMI thread too, huh?

Over and over again we hear,“Why should Nader ask the Democrat’s permission to run?”. The funny thing is, I don’t remember seeing one single solitary post demanding this “straw-man” request. What people are saying is, if Nader is going to ask the cooperation of Democrats and the Democratic Party, telling them that they and their party are no different, and no better, than the Republicans
is precisely then wrong way to go about it. If Nader’s party is dead in the water, with no matching funds and not one viable candidate on any level, it’s his fault entirely. The Democrats have no reason to trust him now, and some of his own supporters who asked him, after it was apparent that he didn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of even getting the matching funds he so treasured, to do the right thing and support the party that would most further his and his supporter’s goals, have left in disgust.
We are NOT asking him why he didn’t get the Democratic Party’s permission to run. We are asking him why he acted like a self-serving and self-important demagogue, when his party needed a leader.

You again. Didn’t I punk you out on another thread already? Obviously you didn’t learn your lesson. Unless I have you confused with another one of these dopes.

I know I will be. Thank you very much.

I’m sorry? Did I say “EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRAT IN THE COUNTRY BEGGED ME TO VOTE FOR THEIR CANDIDATE?” If I did, I apologize. If not, don’t give me the old “I’m an exception to the rule argument”. No one cares about you.

I’d consider your offer, but my guess is you don’t have a job and spend all day on Mommy and Daddy’s computer and don’t have $100 to your name.

Hmmm. Whose going “Neener neerner neener”? It’s so nice to have such an engaging debate of the issues with you once again, Diddley.

Ok uglytruth, let’s skip all the other crap you’ve been spewing in this thread and focus on your OP:

And which of these things makes Harry Browne President? You still might as well have not voted at all. Your vote still counts as much for who will be President as if you had abstained.

What?! Are you trying to say that partisan politics is a bad thing? That we need a more bi-partisan government? What an amazing political insight you have. :rolleyes:

Yeah, right, that’s what will happen. The WHOLE government will shut down if we don’t have a President sworn in by exactly January 20th. Congress will fail to be able to function. The justices of the courts will run around lifting their robes up to show unsuspecting passers-by that they don’t wear anything underneath. Exactly. All hail the Libertarian dream. Tell you what, if the Libertarian dream is that the Federal government shuts down, I’m even more glad that Harry Browne is no where near the office of President. Escpecially since he’s supported by the likes of you.

Actually, I agree that you didn’t. I believe you only waste your vote if you don’t exercise your right to vote for who you want. But I fail to see the point of your OP here other than make an ass of yourself while you laugh at the Democrats and Republicans for being in a ballot counting controversy when regardless of the outcome, your man will not be President of the US. And realistically, if a Libertarian President was elected, how much would he get done with a Congress full of Democrats and Republicans? And then you top it off by stating that the Libertarian dream is that the country be thrown into chaos as the Federal govt collapses? How many other Libertarians do you think would agree with that sentiment? You’ve done nothing in this OP but act like a child who thinks it’s funny when he pulls on the dog’s ears to make it yelp. Grow up or fuck off.

I just wanted you all to know that I’m still laughing about this one. theuglytruth, tell me: do you honestly believe this? Do you really think that the Administration of a message board with 11,000 members (of wich 1,500 or so active on a daily basis), with all consequent traffic problems that occur already, care about useless threads like these that supposedly increase traffic? And this is ASSUMING your threads generate more hits than your average thread.

So, the hypothetical answer is an obvious NO. Now, please prove that your enlightning threads generate more “hits” because your username is on them.
If and when this is the case, I’d most likely attribute it to the “Car Wreck Phenomenon”. You don’t wanna look, but you do anyway. Maybe there’s blood, you know?

That’s what keeps driving me to take a peek. Ever since he started this thread about “Teemings”. He bitched and moaned about how his article wasn’t accepted, then when people spoke up, he said, “Thanks for taking the bait, everyone! LOL”
So he posts an OP as bait to get a reaction . . .

In fact, as of this posting, his sig line is “Thanks for taking the bait- YOU FOOLS!!!”

I’m waiting to see if he’s just playing with us here, too. But God help me, I can’t help but respond. I feel like Don Quixote and theuglytruth’s ignorance is the windmills.
