A vote for NUMBER 3

For me, it was between numbers 2 and 3, but for simple elegance and directness, it's gotta be:

NUMBER 3.

Vote (Early if possible)

My choice is #2

Monday, October 27, 2008 01:31 PM

Depends

On who is doing the looking. Obviously, #1, 2, 3 for Democrats and honest people in general and #4 for Republicans. Oh, and honest people, too. Republicans are not mutually exclusive of honest people. Misguided, perhaps but honestly so....

Why does the letter page insist that I write something more, when I have said what I have to say?

Very well, I will express an unsolicited opinion, then-- the French Canadians are a surly, mean-spirited lot.

I Vote for Four

Four is really unAmerican. If we can't fix elections, our entire system would crumble like the economy. Democracy can't be trusted to the people. The knowledge that voting is fixed lets us have the illusion of choice without all that messy responsibility. Yes, I know what the founding fathers said, but we all know they didn't mean it. They only wanted people who agreed with them to vote. You know, rich white guys with slaves, indentured servants, French mistresses, and wooden teeth. That's why they wrote the Federalist Papers. Still, Jefferson did say we need a revolution every 20 years, and we are long overdue.
