Poll question: Which metaphor best describes politics

[sasquatch]

1. I can't vote all of the choices are too hard!

Which is pretty silly considering I made the damned poll:silly:

2. "Professional Wrestling"

an oxymoron. Much hype, little substance, always trying to appeal to the basest of instincts.

3. Professional Wrestling is fake though

I think politics is a lot like the Super Bowl though. But the hype is worth it though in my opinion.

7. i think pro wrestling aptly applies

For those who truely understand pro wrestling and the art of it, they'll find many similarities between politics and sports entertainment.

It's all about style and verbal communication. Although to be honest, the flashy personalities that go so well with wrestling aren't translating to politics now. We're in a kinda "dull" era of bland, boring, moderate politicians.

But on a side note - I think Tom Delay would make a great heel. I can see him walking into MSG and saying to the crowd "You damned hethen Yankees are gonna git taught a lesson in Texas justice."

:D

8. I cast my "other" vote for pro wrestling.

Anybody who thinks George W. Bush is an intellectual probably thinks wrestling is real.

11. I know what are side is...

When I played football we had a real shity coach who did some dumb shit when it came to how we played football. He said he wanted us to be the fastest team on the field yet, he had us run the I formation and run 95% of the time. The reason why we had to run was because our one QB Martin was too short to see over the offensive line and Winkler was too scared too stay in the pocket to complete a pass. Plus Winkler didn't care about the team in the first place he only played because he was going to start because his Uncle was a asistant coach. So our offense wasn't going any damn place because our coach was too idealogicaly driven as a coach to win. He doesn't go with what will work:( Well during my senior year our practices looked like the movie "Slapshot." I got in at least three fights a full contact practice because my coach wouldn't play me because I was "too big." What it really was because I was from a family that didn't donate a shitload of money to "the team." So after playing garbage time and making him and them look like shit, I made my point. Afterwards in June of the next year hid Dad killed himself and he decided it was time grow up. He played my younger brother instead of benching him like he was planing. My brother was the best reciever on the team as a tight end in the run dominate Wing-T. That season they almost went to the playoffs but the next season they went to the playoffs though. So this is what Clark, Dean, Kucinich and Sharpton are doing in the primary's. There fighting the goofy no goods and doing what they can to take down the DLC(coach) and save the party:)
