American politics? Best summed up by the Simpsons:
Kang (disguised as Bob Dole): Abortions for all
(Crowd boos)
Kang: Very well, no abortions for anyone.
(Crowd boos)
Kang: Hmm… Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others!
(Crowd cheers and waves miniature flags)
But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t vote. Why should you vote? More wisdom from the Simpsons:
Marge: I still don’t understand why we have to build a ray gun to aim at a planet I’ve never even heard of.
Homer: Don’t blame me. I voted for Kodos. (he is whipped by an alien)
You don’t want to be enslaved by aliens, now, do you?
Update: Just in case this election threatens to send you into a bout of depression, I highly recommend, this laughing baby
Kodos: It’s true, we are aliens. But what are you going to do about it? It’s a two-party system; you have to vote for one of us.
[murmurs]
Man1: He’s right, this is a two-party system.
Man2: Well, I believe I’ll vote for a third-party candidate.
Kang: Go ahead, throw your vote away.

And, of course, there is always south park’s vote or die: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2acvohgqZX0
Nope, no depression today! Sorry to politicify your thread Dave, but WOOHOO!
I just watched that southpark clip. That was awesome.
