Kinky for governor? Options

[pebkac]

So does anyone actually plan on voting for Kinky?

[Dogmeat]

fuck no

that guy is the biggest fucking miserable excuse for a canidate I've ever seen.

It's like if Steve-O decided to run for city council almost....

[woody]

i'll vote for kinky to piss people off & hear them bitch about a wasted vote

[Testm0nkey]

honestly i like a lot of the propositions hes made mainly in the education and energy department. hes taken large steps away from the water downed resolutions to problems that a typical candidate will make and i just happen to agree with his viewpoint. id like to vote for him because of his non political ness and his extreme ideas but i havent heard enough of actual plans to implement a lot things. also hes just not proposing enough policy changes. Chris Bell (dem) is going the same route as kinky except his ideas just seem more doable and all his ideas are clearly stated and covers a vast array of different issues

[Hartmann]

I may... I want to hear what he actually has planned though.

[pebkac]

I plan on voting for Kinky for one reason and one reason only...

“Frankly, I think the gay and lesbian community is tired of slaving on the Democratic Party plantation,” Friedman said. “They just never do a damn thing.”

[chook]

I plan on voting for Kinky for one reason and one reason only...

he owns slaves right?

gay and lesbian slaves

[pebkac]

That bastard.

[Divergent Realit...]

vo-te?

[pysex]

That bastard.

what? he's saying he'll put you to work on his Independent plantation....

all the gays and lesbians are too lazy over on the Dems plantation

YOU GOOD AT PICKIN COTTON BOY?!

[Psykopath]

I've read his platform, heard him speak, spoke to him myself (albeit briefly)...the man has my vote in November.

[jwttu]

I like that he wants to change politics in texas because god knows we need that but I'm not sure how effective he'll be. He needs to understand that the Texas Governor is useless compared to many others and alot of his plans would take some bipartisan support, yet i have heard him say he is going to bully the house and senate. I agree with Cathryn that Bell is a Kinky with a doable plan. Sadly nobody is giving Bell any credit and he will likely get the least amount of votes.

[Dogmeat]

what's his website?

rock the vote voter registration site
on the links click voter registration. they really do make it easy. doesnt take more than a few minutes, you print out the form with your info already on it, sign it, address/stamp it, mail it in and youre done

[Billy]

Yeah, if you're going to vote for kinky, please instead vote for Bell so we can atleast get the republicans out of the governor seat. This is what happens every time to the democrats. Some other jackass runs with a similar platform and takes votes from the democrats, allowing the republicans to win. If you care at all about kinky's platform, please vote for bell.

[pebkac]

How does this work in the state of Texas? I know Perry is ahead, but he still doesn't have a majority. If no one gets a majority, is there a runoff?

[Dogmeat]

He sounds just like another politician to me (go figure).

He berates the other canidates.

They berate them.

They're the same god damned leopard with slightly different spots.

Yes.

The governorship is a joke in Texas. It's all about the lieutenant governor since he rules over the Texas legislature. Unfortunately Bell doesn't have a chance and both Rylander and Perry are jackasses.

The person, voted for at said election, having the highest number of votes for each of said offices respectively, and being constitutionally eligible, shall be declared by the Speaker, under sanction of the Legislature, to be elected to said office.

There it is. No majority is neccessary to win the governorship according to the Texas Constitution.

Isn't that a bit of a stretch?

Yeah, the recent stuff is also getting attention, but it's still BS. The guy's a comedian, among other things. A joke is a fucking joke. When did every damn Texan get paper-thin skin?

I understand that a Governor needs to present a "statesman image" but I feel part of that image needs to include the ability to exist OUTSIDE of this cookie-cutter, two-party image of a politician.

you cant get shit done in office when you already have influential people in the black community publicly voicing your faults/racism. you cant get shit passed when those black voters are pushing black and white politicans in their area to not work with you. you cant get shit done when white politicians who want to look like they care about black people dont work with you because of silly remarks you make that you dont think about.
it doesnt matter if what you say is truely offensive and it doesnt matter if you meant it like a joke. when you are a politician and thus work FOR all people its how the PEOPLE take what you say.

you cant let the bush admin/rummy say offensive things and get all upset over it and then let kinky do the same and stand up against PC Fucks

just like people used to harp on bush for being an alcoholic in the 70's




if kinky's elected, he's not going to be able to do what he's promised and he's probably going to do things you don't like. that's called being a politician. everybody thought it would be funny when arnold was elected and he had all these great ideas, but california's still a shithole.

[pysex]

i don't get upset when offensive things are said


even if he was calling italians dirty wop garlic eating fatties


that's the utter fucking truth




things like that don't come around out of coincidence

if someone says the katrina refugees are crackheads and rapists and murderers there's a fucking reason they said it....houston went from shithole to 3rd world country when those assfucks moved into town




black people eat friend chicken and watermelon and they goddamn love it

mexicans want handouts and freebies and have some of the worst explosive jalapeno shits i've ever seen

white people often lack common sense and the ability to avoid saying garbage that makes them look like retards

jews are cheap bastards and often don't do anything or help anyone unless it benefits them in return (FUCKING FERRENGIS) (<<see i'm a white person and i just referenced star trek)

asians have got to be the most socially fucked up individuals on this planet
they have no concept of unity

Not like anything pertaining to that was going to really amount to any sort of block against him getting elected.

Well, I guess it can these days with the god-awful amount of PUSSIES in the world!

[Testm0nkey]

alex people like that dont stay in mainstream politics for long for obvious reasons. your point is completely moot. kinky wants to be governor therefore he cant offend people. politicians cant rail on and make derogatory remarks about their voters. they wont get votes for again obvious reasons. i can understand why a black person wouldnt want to vote for a dude that suggested black people are all thugs and crackheads. youd have to be an ignorant careless voter to do otherwise.
a politician is suppose to work for the people, work for equality, and most importantly WITH the people. he cant go about being a "divider"
this whole discussion is silly and politics and voting 101

[Testm0nkey]

when it comes down to it he needs to make friends and make alliances. he needs to be able to speak with people and get them to allign themselves alongside him and what he believes in/policies he wants to make.
in everything ive heard him say and suggest he just can't do that. that is why experience in being a stupid politician comes in handy. you know how to work with everyone

[Psykopath]

this whole discussion is silly and politics and voting 101

great way to win a debate.


He's not necessarily alienating any electorate. People need to understand that the media is a playing a BIG roll in spinning this.

Anyone ever heard of sarcasm?
Anyone ever heard of a joke?

If people actually went out and did more research on a candidate besides what the first link on Yahoo tells you, then the electorate would be more educated and not so easily swayed by biased campaign ads and major media outlets.

Have your own damn mind about this, people.

kinky saying that katrina refugees are crackheads doesn't make him fucking racist

at least his comment had truth to it

EDIT: And it just so happened that the refugees were black. What if people had to displace from North Dakota because a massive glacier magically forms. We'd all be talking about how northeners smell like cheese.

AND MY POINT...IS THAT I'M GODDAMN TIRED....OF SPINELESS GOOD FOR NOTHING RETARDS GETTING ELECTED INTO HIGH POSITIONS AND DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO FIX WHAT ALL THEIR PREDECESSORS FUCKED


I'm not talking about radical jesus loving change. Or the other extremes.

We need a radical movement in our government to make things better for the middle ground. The folks on the fence. The people who sound right on both sides of the issue.

[Testm0nkey]

yes we need a big change but i am saying kinky is not going to be able to do it. you cant just suddenly jump off the deepend. its unstable. have any of you research into bell? it doesnt sound like it
kinky cant do it because no one will work with him and thankfully this is a democracy

[Testm0nkey]

i have nothing against independent canidates and if i thought kinky was a good one i wouldnt have a problem voting for him. but this thread is about kinky so thats what ive been talking about.
the last presidential election sort of started out trying to make itself the election for the people, the straying away from cookie cutter historical party platforms. But that itself becomes an extreme platform and a silly one at that.
At this time there are extreme issues that have extreme sides. The people have really strong ideas about what needs to happen, stay the same, or change. In that kind of political environment a canidate who straddles fences isnt going to work. And no one likes a fence stradler in the first place.


edit: you dont vote for Kinky because he is an independent canidate. You vote for the politican.


Go Chris Bell

[pysex]

And no one likes a fence stradler in the first place.

LOL.

I may end up voting for Chris Bell. I just don't want Perry to win because no one can agree on anyone to replace him.

Where did I suggest we need a dictatorship, Cathryn? Please show me where I said anything pertaining to that.

I said that this typical politician/special-interest alliance thing is not the only way democracy has to operate.


Yes, I have researched Chris Bell. I've looked into every candidate because I am ridiculously passionate about politics/government in the state of Texas. I happen to prefer the INDEPENDENT views (hey, fancy that) held by Kinky. I also enjoy many of his ideas that I think have a potential of passing.

[pebkac]

[Testm0nkey]

if they were said by a running politician yeah.
instead of "LOL" and saying i dont understand why dont you clarify the point you were trying to make as to further discussion

When I say "on the fence" I don't mean someone who can't make a fucking decision about an issue. I mean someone who takes a less biased approach. Someone who thinks logically and makes a decision that would benefit all. Not someone who's influenced by lobbyists and special interests.


Politics noawadays are all about catering to certain classes and groups. Don't deny this. It's absolutely true.

[Testm0nkey]

a politician has to work on compromise which in definition requires working conditions to build a compromise with another party of people. a politician to get his policies made into action has to stand before the people and state why this policy is a good policy. he has to have good standing with people so people listen to him
zach you said "why does that HAVE to be" . in my opinion that is democracy. you cant have democracy without working together

Dear Parents of Kinky Friedman,


Today in class Kinky called Timmy a Doodiehead. Timmy cried for 5 hours and vomited his cookies and milk.

It is apparent to me, as Kinky's teacher, that Kinky cannot work well with Timmy and therefore does not support our democratic schooling.

Please consider removing Kinky from our classroom environment.

It is a sad fact that certain lobbyists have huge influence and i believe these huge lobbyists huge influence is a negative in a lot of different areas. I am saying in this time where such a large group of people feel so heated about certain issues a politician who doesnt stand for or against either side of a heated issue but is taking a less biased approach is not likely to fair as well. hot issues like abortion, gay marriage, all the big ones.

everyone is influenced by lobbyists because not all of them are big and bad. lobbyists are suppose to represent a faction of the population and what they want to see happen. a politician is suppose to be the mouth piece for the people/represent their wishes in government not his own - in my mind.
