The Wacky World Of Independent Candidates Of 2008
The Wacky World of Independent Candidates of 2008
Every four years, it seems, the chase for the Presidency spawns a kind of party atmosphere for a while where basically, everybody and his sister says that they're running for President. But again the more popular third parties, such as Green and Libertarian, there's the great, vast array of the Independents. There is no " Independent party ", exactly; you just announce your candidacy and do your best to run. And hope nobody runs an article like this unequaled making fun of you.
Blake Ashby - website: http://www.ashby2008.com/
Slogan: " At least he tells the truth! " Points are due for sounding like a regular, soft-spoken citizen who's just fed up with the cruel system. However, the impression he leaves the public with is a " glasses - wearing geek " who depends on YouTube video clips too much and sounds mortally angry in text. He does, however, have his act mostly together, and is a pretty square " protest candidate ". He may not slam your vote, but he does have some intelligent views.
John Taylor Bowles - website: http://www.bowlesforpresident.com/
Scary white - supremacist rantings framed in 1995 web - design standards complete with Comic - Sans fonts and tasteless gif animations. Lots of swastikas if you scroll down. There now, hasn't he won your heart already? At least he's not shooting up high schools.
Don Cordell - website: http://www.doncordellforpresident.com/
Cranky old man who's fed up with us all. Of saunter, a lot of us have a beef with the country, hence we can sympathize. Even though he uses about 50 font styles and sizes mixed well-adjusted to deliver his guide of gripes with life in the United States in a single long, long, long page, we can move. He must feel better having gotten faultless that off his chest.
Jack Grimes - website: http://joanne21921.tripod.com/
OK, we're pretty sure this guy's just putting us on. Something about the over - sized, cartoonish Trojan helmet he's wearing in the picture, plus the pentagram pattern, kinds tips us off. So, welcome to the home site of the " United Fascist Unity ", and read all about their, uh, views. If this is an intentional parody of a nutball Independent candidate, it's a pretty unprejudiced job. If it isn't, I don't craving to know.
Thomas J. Kozee Jr. - website: http://tkozeejr.googlepages.com/home
Not works to be called an " overachiever " any clock soon. You go to this page, and immediately see the first thing erratic: the picture. We just can't disquiet ourselves to get all dressed up for a campaign photo; jeans and a loud polo shirt will be tried fine. Then I'll lean against this stack of filing cabinets and try to make ready like I know what's in them. Now write about ten paragraphs of text below it and conclude the call to action with a P. O. Box. There, we're done. That'll bring the voters running!
Brad Lord - Leutwyler - website: http://www.voteforbrad.com/
He starts out fairly all right. Perhaps more out of college. Then you keep reading and it gets angrier, and angrier, and angrier... then he goes on about MySpace deleting his account, and he's angry about that, too. Then there's the YouTube videos, and the blogging in chief letters, then some more anger... I hope he gets a date or two out of it.
Michael Stephen Levinson - website: http://www.michaelslevinson.com/
Very obvious humor, as the whole site is just pictures of an old woman campaigning for her pupil boy, with a lot of pictures of killer whales and dolphins for some reason. Rave reviews for humor! Very well - done parody.
Joe Schriner - website: http://www.voteforjoe.com/
" Average Joe " is a working - class man. He's been unimpaired across the land. He's so equitable, he's you... and you... and you... And there is is, pictured next to his maintenance van. Of course, he isn't going to a lot of trouble here. He's going to make it, based on his heartland homey values alone! Go for it, Joe!
