Folks cry “Tolerance” but only for their own views. Others go to hell. ☹ Foolish to pass laws that govern who you sleep with privacy is mourned Why should it matter when two people are in love what their sexes are I’m conservative but very open minded Still, the left hates me ---

> [@John Mace](#): > > Oops… > > The Whithouse road does > not go thru the Senate, friend. > Blue state Governor! Been there, tried that, dude. [This thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=5456093#post5456093) contains my viewpoint in non-haiku form. Democrats will need a man of myth and legend to win in '08. Obama has class, presence, smarts and heart to spare JFK redux? I might be jumping the proverbial gun, but this guy’s the real deal. Anyway, friend, Courage! (as Rather once said, before his brain fried.) Election whoop-ass will not keep us down for long. Only four more years. ☹ ---

Did we not just say No Whitehouse via Senate? Obama would lose! Then on second thought An Obama/Clinton race Would bring a slaughter Let’s nominate them And guarantee another Conservative Prez 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-haiku-election-rant-thread/272894.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-haiku-election-rant-thread/272894.md?page=3)
