Damn. I thought for sure that I would finally matter.  :(
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

And probably more than I can bare to think about at all.

BTW, do you always strip to think? :unsure:

Women want me. Men want to be with me.

It frightens me to think that there actually are women out there like that. :(

Women who grew up in corrupt Latin American political systems and are therefore so disillusioned with politics that they are decidedly apolitical?  Yeah, there are women like that out there ;)

If Spiess wants to pay me fifty bucks, he can have my vote too.  :)

I'll extend the same deal to you & offer you a pair of women's shoes in exchange for your vote.

Yeah well she is not from the US so I wouldn't despair for your gender.   It is not like tons of men do not have far worse methods of determining who to vote for.

Lots of them simply ask their wife who's she's voting for and do the opposite. I know five or six guys who do that.

Hilarious-- never heard of any guy doing that myself. 

I used to send a voting guide out to my family as well as my brother's in-laws, but found out that it wasn't necessary since all nine of us vote identically anyway.

Nah, I only bug family & close friends about politics.
