Who would you vote for?

Sometimes political races look more like fiction then reality.

Always had a crush on James Tiberius Kirk myself-plus that prime directive would keep him out of trouble!

**Joann Raytar** · 10-23-2004, 08:39 PM

Actually, McCoy's take on Kirk being in command,"the man on top walks a lonely street; the 'chain' of command is often a noose."

Poor Carol Brady. Perhaps Ann Romano, One Day At A Time, would have been a better running mate?

**Blake** · 10-25-2004, 10:29 AM

Okay, it broke my heart not to be able to get behind Han Solo, but let's face it - he's a better First Husband. After all, he's married to a Princess. In fact, she'd probably make a better prez than the whole lot of them. Maybe the Enterprise Vets for Truth can throw some dirt at Capt. Kirk.

While George Jetson would seem the better candidate to lead the country into the future - since he's already there - Flintstone does have leadership experience at the Lodge, while Jetson frequently sleeps on the job.

In the Tyler-Moore/Brady race, I'm pulling for Brady. After all, watching after 6 (SIX!!!) fashion-challenged children isn't exactly an easy task, even if you do have hired help.

And last but not least, Ward Cleaver gets my vote just because.

**Joann Raytar** · 10-25-2004, 10:43 AM

Blake, I had a hard time deciding between Fred and George as well. You know Barney will be his VP running mate and if he takes Bam Bam on the campaign trail you know all of those undecided voters will feel compelled to vote for Flinstone/Rubble.

Also, with Jetson pushing for rocket ships as a means of transportation, could you imagine what the cost of fuel would be? Not that it would matter, I'd take a mini-rocket ship over a car.

I disagree with you about the race between Cleaver and Anderson. If I remember correctly, Jim Anderson was involved in politics - he even helped keep a historical building from being knocked down. However, Ward may be the better diplomat. They would both have to loose the pipes - not very PC in today's world.

**Pete Hanlin** · 10-25-2004, 11:07 AM

I think Fred is the clear choice (I mean, seeing the leader of the free world stuck outside the White House after being locked out by the cat would be just awesome).

**Joann Raytar** · 10-25-2004, 11:39 AM

It would appear even animated candidates play dirty:

Court throws Nader off Pennsylvania ballot
Petition signatures include 'Mickey Mouse, Fred Flintstone'

I wonder who paid Mickey off?

Damaging Flintstone footage leaked to the press by Homer Simpson! Apparently, Flintstone is accused of promoting underage smoking:

James.....Kirk....leads to places.....where no man......has lead before. And he wears a fabulous hair hat! What more could you ask from a president?

**chip anderson** · 10-26-2004, 06:05 AM

JO: You can bet whomever it was has a d after his name. Paul Harvey reports that in some "Get out the Vote" campaigns the dems have actually registered alcaida people either convicted or under inditement for plotting to blow up a shopping center. One registered while still in jail.

Actually the dems are attempting to bar Ralph Nader from the ballot in as many states as possible, Mississippi, Florida and Washington for example.

But, I guess these people always believe it doesn't matter as long as "the ends justify the means."

Spexie, are you ridiculing my choice??? ;)C'mon, he looked great in those tight pants and at least the man could LEAD for goodness sake, always thinking about how his actions effected the rest of the crew, negotiating with those nasty Klingons and Romulans. He might have to curtail his roving eye for the ladies but it's not like we haven't had a prez (or two) with that issue. Besides, with Mr Spock as Secretary of Defense we could just be logical about who we blasted and leave the emotion out of it...that's it, I'm writing him on on my absentee ballot!!!

**chm2023** · 10-27-2004, 01:12 PM

Jetson, less stupid that Fred--though Fred more fun at a party I grant you. Jim A, only because he's marginally less irritating that Ward; MTM obviously and Hans Solo cause he's cute. Gee, I'm more frivolous than I thought....

Not your choice, as it is the same as mine. Just poking fun at the actor. If elected, he should be barred from saying "there are Klingons around Uranus". Actually, I'd prefer Jean-Luc Picard. Please make it so.

**Blake** · 10-28-2004, 09:11 AM

Picard was a lily-livered Francophile. I'd rather have Janeway in charge!

Maybe I should write-in Chewbacca...

**Spexvet** · 10-28-2004, 10:20 AM

Yoda!.....Yoda!......Yoda!

Sure, I've added a race between Picard, Janeway, Yoda and Chewbaca. Anyone wishing to change their votes just let me know. Not exactly fair but it will save us any litigation.

* Note - the poll will time out on Nov. 2 so "Get Out The Vote!"
