ever wonder if the good ol' Capt and Mr. Green Jeans...ever tripped the light fantastic?
I heard that the "Capt and Mr. Green Jeans" took off for New Hampshire as soon as they legalized gay marriages. Word is that they are living happy lives in a condo in the old Ashley High School in Gastonia. Fitting right in with the ultra liberal neighborhood.
For the voters to truly have a choice on Election Day, there should be 'None of the Above' choice on EVERY ballot.
i find it awesome someone put the Pope and Bishop Curlin...and your mom
It's not an abuse of rights. It's called choosing who you want to vote for -- just because the two major political parties decide that A and B will be their candidates does not mean we have to choose from those two choices.
Also, given all of the shenanigans regarding things like "undervotes", where some moron of an elections official might decide that since I voted Republican on everything else, I must have wanted to vote for Lassiter, it makes sense to write in some other name in order to make sure that there is no room for interpretation. I voted for MYSELF for mayor because I didn't want to vote for either of the two chuckleheads we were offered.
Touche! The REAL abuse of rights is what happens when we elect these self-serving morons into offices of an America you wished really existed. It's all a sham, so the only way (without weapons) you can protest and overturn a government that hijacked your rights long ago is to write-in votes. That's a real political statement!
any of the above would be better than 'who' was actually elected....particularly, Susan Burgess and Fox!
I'm glad I didn't put down my name. Mickey Mouse got more vote than I would've.
Its an insult to defame and libel Mr. Kangaroo and Mr Green Jeans not to mention Mr Mouse, PeeWee Herman or the others of their integrity and honor when compared to elected ones or their appointees. Those who mooch off the taxpayer dole as public servants or apppointees almost always seem too resemble human waste excrement with silver or forked tongues.
I agree that you should be able to vote for whoever you please. But to vote for a fictional character is an absolute abuse of your rights. Since these people do not take voting seriuos they should lose their rights.
