The REAL Election

Alright, I'm sick of serious political stuff, and need a break. So. Look 'em up, then argue their qualifications here and cast your vote.

Two notes:
1. By 'me', I mean the person behind the screenname Soldier.
2. Defend your choices with a post!

ME or Strongbad

ME: because I am a valuable member of the Illuminatus and already rule the world anyway...

If you can't handle that Strongbad because I'd love to see America being run by a mexican wrestler.

i don't see how there is a choice in this matter. Strongbad would make a GREAT president. He understands fully issues like:

1. moderately hot girls--you know the kind that are pretty hot but not so hot as to mes around with other guys. . .

2. fiscal responsibility, he has never once overspent Strongbadia's annual budget.

He also delegates very well. He often sends strongmad to beat up strongsad, and the cheat to. . . well, cheat!

The only problem would be persuading him to run. He is already the leader of one country (Strongbadia, population tire.) and seems quite happy with his loose lifestyle.

Vote Strongbad in 2004, He's all up ons!!!

I second this campaign. Although as one who used to use Strong Sad as an avatar, you'd think I would be against my big bro becomming president. Strong Mad's exclusive job would be to pommel Strong Sad "on the hour, every hour."

So does that mean I support "me" as well? If we all unite our support, we can defeat the incumbent? How does this work? Eck, I hate politics...

Young Sir:

As an Army officer, I cannot run in a political campaign (something about civilian rule over the military). To avoid the possibility of a military dictatorship on the country's hands, I will have to decline the nomination.

I therefore endorse my venerable opponent, the honorable Mr. Strongbad. Seriously.

Yours Respectfully,
Me and my iron fist. And scalpel.
