People raise a fuss if Chicago allows a few dead people to vote--- but just look at RJH's numbers----there aren't enough buses to bring in people from out-of-town to vote the right way on that level.In Scotland they ain't dead. Didn't you ever see that documentary about all of those immortal MacLeods chopping people's heads off?

I went to the Strip one fateful night and had one to many with the servers handing out free drinks left and right and all that. Unfortunately, I gambled away my money, maxing out my creditcards in the process. This guy named Vinnie loaned me some money at a 300% interest rate while offering me a pair of cement shoes and a "swim" in Lake Mead if I was unable to pay. So I had to take a bribe to go to Scotland and vote as a Tory to pay off my debt

This is only one reason that Mr. Howie dislikes the city.

Re: Dramatisations & Documentaries Reply #83 – 2015-09-03, 21:10:17 This cannot be good. I suddenly get the feeling that all the candidates have never known anything except automatic transmissions--- and the GOP Clown Car is equipped with a 3-speed manual. Column shift.

Re: Dramatisations & Documentaries Reply #85 – 2015-09-04, 23:28:56 Can anyone explain me why Republicans uses an elephant and Democrats a donkey? I can understand (well, doing a lot of effort...) that Republicans may want to convince fools that they are strong and big... but Democrats and donkeys?? Since when that happens?
Re: Dramatisations & Documentaries Reply #86 – 2015-09-05, 08:00:16 Probably because of the simplicity of the corporates being able to do mind control and simple images would work wonders!

Donkeys are strong-willed yet loyal and hardworking and will only bite and kick when provoked. Elephants are big clumsy oafs that destroy everything in their path. They just rip the branches off trees paying no mind to the innocent monkeys and other animals that made their home there and carelessly stomp their way across the savanna, crushing dozens of other creatures under their feet without even realizing wanton destruction they cause.

His opponents called him a jackass (a donkey), and Jackson decided to use the image of the strong-willed animal on his campaign posters. Later, cartoonist Thomas Nast used the Democratic donkey in newspaper cartoons and made the symbol famous.Nast invented another famous symbol—the Republican elephant. In a cartoon that appeared in Harper's Weekly in 1874, Nast drew a donkey clothed in lion's skin, scaring away all the animals at the zoo. One of those animals, the elephant, was labeled “The Republican Vote.” That's all it took for the elephant to become associated with the Republican Party.
Re: Dramatisations & Documentaries Reply #89 – 2015-09-08, 09:37:43 That's true, too even if my explanation remains 20 percent more correct. Republicans do scare very easily. "Queer couples can marry now!?! They're gonna take my religious freedoms! "

I'm just not sure it's completely accurate. The "Republican vote" is actually the Democratic-Republican party (Federalists) which A. Jackson split from creating the Democrats. But here's the cartoon...
Re: Dramatisations & Documentaries Reply #93 – 2015-09-09, 19:14:01 Well jackasses and donkeys are still pretty evident in the political system so quite appropriate.....
