BUMP: Where y'all at? I'm looking forward to the responses. Is it a problem of having to admit voting for Bush? Heh. Just kidding.

I'm thinking. If I can think of a suitably snarky response, I just might enter.

I think you just did.

You are appreciated--next to this guy!:

If it's any consolation, the rules work in your favor: Cheaters will be given retroactive immunity from all contest rules. Hope that applies to me too, since we're supposed to keep this thread clear. But given I'm a Obamaniac liberal, I don't reckon that's the case. ;>)

I voted for W both times. Let's see, I could've voted for Big Al in 2000 but even his own state said, "Nah!" Then in 04 the other choice was Big John. He was so great that W received 62 million votes, more than any presidential candidate in history!

Now we get the chance to mix Ob-mama with Pelosi and Reid. Hmmm........

metulj, I'll pass on your comments to my 62,000,000 friends. I'm actually taking your advise. When I was young and stupid, I voted in the 1976 election....my first. I stepped in a big pile when I voted for an inexperienced, extremely liberal peanut farmer. I won't be voting for the inexperienced, extremely liberal, Reverend Wright-following but oh-so-patriotic Ob-Mama. No dancing for me.

Rach, this was my essay.

Sorry to violate the thread rules but an administrative point of order. I believe John Kerry also received the highest ever number of popular votes. And Bush barely won, by about 3%. Not exactly the mandate he was looking for.

Algore won about 50 million votes, lost the electoral college vote then took the whole matter to court although most argue W did.

Bush v. Gore

Gore sued when the Florida Secretary of State did her job based on Florida election law. It quickly went to the kooks on the Florida Supreme Court. Luckily, W was able to tamp down the libs by apealing to the US Supreme Court where the majority thought it was a good idea to follow the law.

Bush won, Gore lost and the military personnel who voted absentee in Florida were not disenfranchised.

I don't care what the law was, Rachel, but I did what you asked and did not google it. I'll buy your lunch anyway 'cause I'm a nice guy.

I'm jealous.

I can't have that, Beanster. I'll buy your lunch, too 'cause I'm a really nice guy!

And I was trying to be nice.............

Rachel, you and the Bean should take me up on the lunch thing now before mean ole Obama takes my hard earned money.

Hey, metulj, chill man. Algore was the plaintiff in Florida. W appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. You're right though. I probably should stick to golf.

It seems too obvious to need saying, but Republicans who are not embarrassed by the massive deficit spending and the waste and fraud that occurred during Bush's tenure are not eligible for this contest.

I could possibly create another contest for them, but the rules would have to be different. I'd probably need to impose a 57-word maximum, and I'd have to install a spit guard on the Interwebs or pass out tin cups and chin harnesses to entrants.

OK, sorry Rikki, you're right. You made the rules and I broke them. I'll take whatever punishment you dish out.

Nonetheless, your punishment is to recoup the $9 billion of U.S. taxpayer dollars that vanished into thin air in Iraq.

Shouldn't you deduct the cost of a couple of lobster dinners from that total since The Cup did offer to take Betty and Rachel to lunch?

Fair is fair.
