Well, that was my point. I have two choices: Vote for a candidate that I only halfway support, or do what amounts to setting my vote on fire and watching it burn. Sure I could take the moral high ground and vote for what I believe in, but an empty symbolic gesture isn't much better than voting for the guy I hate least.The Plunk said:
ANYWAYS ON TOPIC:
I personally would be more inclined to vote for a senator obviously part of the game community, but I'm not sure I'd vote for a World of Warcraft player. Yay contradictions!
Man, this could almost be an Onion piece. Not gonna lie--were she in my list of people to vote for, I'd totally vote for someone who's willing to throw a dick-punch or two to those that need it.
The debate last night could have used a dick-punch or two. Goddam that was awful.

What is wrong with playing WoW? I say she should own up to it and talk about all the good and cool stuff she does in game. Like her hundreds of fetch quests as charitable work for those unable to act on their own.
So what they're basically trying to say is that anyone who's ever enjoyed playing a video game other than Lemmings should have no future in politics?
God knows what they'd do if a politician was revealed to have Manhunt in their gaming library... or even have a gaming library

If this is the worst the opposing party can come up with, she is probably a safe candidate to vote for.
Colleen Lachowicz is now GUARANTEED to win in Maine. I'd put money on it. Seriously. I will be amazed if she doesn't.
Right up there with our politician giving a middle finger to his opponent in live broadcast and saying "I didn't know there was ton of money in those shoe boxes" 
Seriously? Why can't we have an election anywhere where we just stick to the issues and don't have to bring up dirt on the other...
I guess I live in a dream world where someone can't win simply because they actually work for it and have a plan other than 'lets throw money at it, sweep the problems under the carpet, give it gift wrapped to the rest of the world'. *shrug, rides off into space on a flying donut*
I mean come on... it's just getting silly...
At least comedy shows will have more material to use after this little 'stunt'...

Imagination: Now confirmed to be considered by other politicians to be a bad quality in Politicians
God forbid she has an imagination in a job where you have to imagine solutions to problems.

I just want to jump in here and ask, if you are indeed an atheist and support gay rights, why on earth do you support the Republican party? It's all very well to criticise people for stereotyping, but think for a second: you are personally going out there and saying that you support the people who, in every news article I see on the topic, are progressively only in the sense that they are seeking new ways to be completely anti social, selfish and retarded. You can't then turn around and say 'don't judge me by what my favourite political party believes in!' because you have announced that you believe in it too, by proxy of supporting them in their bid to lead the country.Falterfire said:
It is ENTIRELY legitimate to make judgements about people based on their support of a political party. No-one makes you sign up to support these people - to do so is an affirmation that what they say speaks for what you believe in.
That's one of the reasons I'm quite unlikely to vote in the next UK elections - the Conservatives what to sell the country to the highest bidder and pocket the proceeds - to hell with anyone not in their club; the Lib Dems slipped in on broken pledges, made a pact with the Devil, and now think that they can retain support on more promises to not carry on doing what they've spent the last two years doing, and Labour have suddenly realised that for ten years they did fuck all, and in retrospect undoing some of the damage from the last Conservative government would have been a better idea than getting rid of all the money - and naturally, now they'll "pledge" to sort it all out. We've seen where that gets the electorate...
Rant aside, if you don't want to be tarred with the same brush, doing lean on their wall (or however that metaphor works out...)
Has she responded to any of this? It'd be interesting to see if she gets embarrassed about it or sticks her head up and says; so what? it's the 21st century.
