None of the Above.
Passion is necessity. It is not diligence, or simply being committed to a goal. Passion consumes you while you chase down your goal. Passion should always be your natural state of mind for it is what sparks momentum and sets the pace.

Don't blame me....I voted for Kodos.

Unknown. I'm too young to actually understand the difference.
When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? To surrender dreams - -this may be madness; to seek treasure where there is only trash. Too much sanity may be madness! But maddest of all - -to see life as it is and not as it should be.

I will also go with none of the above. It's like talking about apples and oranges.

What are you saying Dawn? That no government works best? You sow the wind of insane bravado,thumbing your nose at your own system as Bush has done. You will reap the whirlwind of anti-US ferver and deservedly so.

May the rantings of foolish right-wing Americans go into the sunset of history,discredited by the world.

Personally, I think that a constitutional monarchy would be nice.....but only if I get to be the Queen.

That just shows how stupid you are Sri. Who says it has to be democrat or republican anything? There are plenty of independant parties in the United States and you failed to include them in your poll. Your fault, not Dawn's. Personally I'd like to see a Libertarian White House and Congress. At least that way true American values would be consistant throughout both governing bodies.

That's just fucking great,patriot. The last thing we need on this planet is 280 million fucking Americans doing whatever they goddamn please. Fuck your Libertarianism.

Your national attitude is so artificially optimistic that it blinds you. The protestant fervour and unquestioned belief in your racial and national superiority leads you to believe that Libertarianism is the answer...ahahahahahahaha

A vote for deadlock is a vote for freedom, in my opinion. My conscience lies with libertarian principals, but I must say there are a few too many anarcho-capitalist wackos in the party for my tastes.

For those of us with the more reasonable aim of keeping the federal government in its proper place, the only hope is to utilize partisan bickering to our own advantage.
