Urbane Guerrilla and tw.

It's 2016. Tw and UG are both running for president. You have a choice to vote for one or the other.

Who do you pick? Would you prefer the far-leftie or the far-righty?

Tw all the way.

TW is way closer to the middle than UG.

You should have attached a poll to this thread.

I'd vote for tw...specially since someone once accused me of being him. It'd be like voting against myself if I voted for UG.

Your post wasn't five paragraphs long; therefore, you aren't tw.

"The Middle" is very dependant on where the speaker is standing at the moment. :-)

We're not in any danger of tw running for anything...a harrangue is not a platform.

I would vote for tw only because he'd be so busy satisfying his hypergraphia that he wouldn't make any actual decisions. I'd have to hope his administration was good.

Make them co-presidents. They are both passionate about the country, although the alliance might perhaps fall apart over the definition of "country."


I pine for a return to the days of yore, where people in power sought to surround themselves with people who brought insight different from their own -- disagreement, critique, debate -- rather than to fill positions with people on strings, at worst, or simply of general agreement, at best.

Two party system, 'they're both the same party' system, it's all a sham; the parties themselves are the problem. The concept of "I'm right, and the number of people who agree with me increase my rightness." The concept of allies being worth more than good arguments.

It ain't easy being an idealist.

tw gets my vote. His posts may be lengthy, but for the most part, they're coherant, unlike UG's. I would hope he'd lose the terms "mental midget" and " MBA mentality" from his vocabulary, tho. Unlike some recent presidents we've had, at least tw seems to care passionately for his country.

I'd vote for Brianna just 'cause she said "hypergraphia."

K. Number ONE--UG's posts are WAY more coherent than tw's!~ DUH! Plus, I am starting to think SD might belong in my House of Pleasure but that is something based purely on emotion. It makes me wonder if SD is a Vegas don.
