Vote Dave Unsure for President.

That Unsure is some kind of something...

Lefties:

I like Edwards the best of the crop, and think he has the most potential for mass appeal. I should clarify…but I won't.

Hilary won't get my vote, even if it's only because I'd like someone in the Whitehouse whose name isn't Bush or Clinton.

Obama - Now, I like this this guy (sort of), but I really know nothing about his policies.

Dennis Kucinich, the underdog. I admire his ambition, especially after learning that he's trying to impeach Dick Cheney, but he is waaaaay too liberal to get the nomination.


Righties:

Guiliani? Maybe it's because I live so close to New York City, and as such, I am biased against him, but I think he would make a terrible president. There are too many "skeletons" in his closet for him to have a shot at getting the nomination.

McCain seemed like a better candidate eight years ago than he does now.

Mitt Romney, judging him by name alone, seems like he should be the captain of a spaceship on some low-budget Sci-Fi Channel original series.

Kinda describes a political system where someone is behind the scenes pulling all the strings, while the actual president is just a puppet. Not exactly a new concept.

This puppet... what does his breath smell like?

I'm telling ya... it's gonna be Fred Thompson. He brought "Law and Order" into your house, and now he'll bring law and order to the White House.

Or something like that. Seriously, though, he's a formidable candidate. He's running a strong third/fourth in polls, and he hasn't announced he's running yet. But he will.

[LickMyLovePump]

Well, to look at his picture, I wouldn't mess with him.

[byron]

He brought "Law and Order" into your house, and now he'll bring law and order to the White House.

If he uses that as his campaign slogan, he's sure to win.

[Frightened Inmate #2]

I should run his campaign. I'll start with a Chuck Norris Facts-type website and watch his campaign take on a life of its own.

Fred Thompson doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants.

If it looks like chicken, tastes like chicken, and feels like chicken but Fred Thompson says its beef, then it's beef.

Fred Thompson can win a game of Monopoly without owning any property.

When Fred Thompson receives his tax forms from the IRS, he just staples the photo above to his form and sends it in. Fred Thompson hasn't paid taxes in 40 years.

Well, that last one could hurt him with the voters.

It's true, Colbert hasn't said he's not running yet.

[wtfamhe]

This puppet... what does his breath smell like?

Like soiled and bloodstained underwear!

[Chelpo]

As long as it's not ether.
