If the Bush Administration were a Star Trek Alien Race......

[BlueJazz]

Poll question: If the Bush Administration were a Star Trek Alien Race......

Which one would fit their agenda.
I started to vote Borg but the Borg are very intelligent so I
went with The Ferengi....Deceitful, Greedy and unscrupulous.

Although, now I think about it, there was that Race that tricked
Gordi (chief Engineer) to help them fix their space-ship and were dumb as a box of rocks.."Duh, he is on our side now"

1. We are Smart.

He will make us strong... We are smart. duhhhh.

25. Pakleds

It scares me that I know that.

[TOhioLiberal]

29. Oh come on...

Embrace you inner Trek Geek...LOL

2. Actually, maybe a mix of Ferrenghi and Klingon...

Warlike with a set of morals based on the acquisition of wealth.

[TennesseeWalker]

10. Ferenghi and Borg mix.....

:)

3. DUH

Ferengi, but that dumb as rocks race had one thing that set them apart from the bush cabal, they had kind hearts

[coloradodem2005]

17. Actually, they were pretty smart with money.

Which sets them apart even more from Bush and company.


The alleged stupidity was more to be comical.

4. Ferengi the merchant thieves

but the Ferengi are much better looking that Chains, Shrub and Rummy.

5. They are tribbles

They seem cute and innocent at first, then they eat all the resources and destroy the enviroment. Maybe we can teleport them to another planet and make someone else take care of them.

[brainshrub]

16. Yes! Tribbles!

Great answer! Welcome to DU! :toast:

[SW FL Dem]

23. Splatt!!

Thanks for the laugh of the night. I was going to say Ferengi/Klingon mix focused on money and conquest but you won me over.

[coloradodem2005]

6. Not Klingons.

Klingons had honor, Shrubya and co. have none. I would definitely say Ferengi in terms of greed, and a juxtaposition of Romulans and Cardassians for foreign policy.

7. The Zindi

THey want to destroy a world based on crappy intelligence and rampant speculation that there is a threat to them. They are ugly, too.

8. The Borg. Evil. Underestimate them at your risk.

The Ferengi were unscrupulous and acquisitive, but they did not reach the level and power necessary to be the Bush Administration. The Borg. As we will see this year, this is no laughing matter.

[codegreen]

9. because of their fascism and racist feelings of supremecy, i vote Cardie

[baldguy]

11. The Ferengi

But without the compassion and generosity.

[Xithras]

12. Romulans, hands down.

Emotional, nationalistic, xenophobic, warmongering aholes who would rather shoot than talk.

The Cardassians are a close second, but DS9 showed us that most Cardies played along because they were stuck in a 1984ish hellhole and had little choice but to comply. The Romulan people, on the other hand, seemed to actually support their government (though we honestly saw little of them in any shows).

[coloradodem2005]

19. THere were a number of dissidents in the Romulan Government.

The Cardassians were generally more supportive of their government, and it was more 1984-esque. I would say the Bush cabal is closer to the Cardassians, especially Dukat than the Romulans. The Romulans had some honor, not much but some. Which is some more than shrubya.

So in summary, I will now say the Bush cabal is like the Cardassians with the greed of the Ferengi.

The Cardassians were colonialists too, to a greater degree than the Romulans.

[Xithras]

20. Didn['t think about the colonialism

Got me there. The Cardies were really big on conquer, ensure submission, and enslave. The Romulans were simply xenophobic conquerors.

[billybob537]

13. OTHER

THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE A NEW RACE THAT CAN MIMIC OTHER RACES. AND ABSORB ALL ENERGY, MONEY AND POWER. MAYBE SOMETHING LIKE A BLACK HOLE WITH A DISARMING FACADE.

[President_G_W_Bush]

14. I'm not smart enough to be a Romulan

I think I'm more of a money-grubbing ferengi.

[DieboldMustDie]

15. Klingons fought their own battles...

Most members of the Bush Administration assiduously avoided ever going to war themselves, preferring to send "lesser" people to do the fighting for them.   In this respect they seem a bit like the Founders who created the Jem'Hadar to fight their wars.

[Cat Atomic]

18. The administration is Ferengi, their voting base is Borg.

[Endangered Specie]

21. hmmm, an interesting mix...

the treachery and cold-bloodedness of romulans
the women hating and money loving of the ferengi
the 1984 style politics and the legal system of the cardassians
more cold-bloodedness and the conquering spirit of the borg

definetly not klingons... no honor

[coloradodem2005]

22. Summs up nicely

I would add that the conquest spirit may have a tinge of Cardassian in it too.

[Exultant Democracy]

24. The Dominion Cardassian alliance

I bunch of crazy religions zealots working with a bunch of greedy imperialist in an unholy alliance.

[coloradodem2005]

27. That actually makes the most sense.

These last two years in the U.S. have been like the last two seasons of DS9.

[Exultant Democracy]

28. It is so scary when you really think about it.

It seems like every day they do another thing and I just think to myself, "What, real people do this, seems like bad TV."

[Zech Marquis]

26. I voted Borg

for their "you will comply" Nazi like stance :evilgrin: to call them smart would be a stretch. But my all time si-fi babe Jeri Ryan (Seven of Nine) wouldn't be one for sure :D
