Commenter Of The Day: The Candidate Edition

The great thing about the film The Candidate is the realistic propsition that by winning you're almost always forced into a situation where you slowly start losing. Whether you have to abandon your principles, as in the Robert Redford film, or abandon the causes you were to fight for, as with Tommy Carcetti in The Wire, political success doesn't always correspond to a personal triumph. In a polarized climate it's always a battle to find a middle ground even if most people don't actually occupy it. No one can claim Warren Mosler is standing in the middle — or even on this planet. Either way, Lilwillie put together a platform most of us would get behind.

I'll vote for for him if he:

Won't ever let the internal combustion engine be aborted

Makes sure his green policy means proper landscaping around road courses

Demands our enemies come to the field of battle with proper numbers on the side of their race cars. Six inches tall and one inch wide with contrasting colors

His woman rights issues better mean that the lady's can be proud to beat the shit out of the men at the race track while wearing bikinis

Gets rid of affirmative action in Nascar. I am sick of seeing the exact same cars with stickers going in circles.

Doesn't stop Prayer as the engine starts knocking only a few miles from home

Demands the city of Detroit becomes the new Capitol

Baja Moon 1000 anyone?

Boris Said as Secretary of Racing

Road America becomes a National Park and open to the public daily, for a simple donation.

Begins a new Interstate Highway system that has the "Everything fucking goes lane" where speed is not limited

24 Hours of Lemon's become a National Sport.

Dream that every home can have a two car garage......with the weekend warrior vehicle of your choice.

We think Lemons is on the way to being a national sport.
