06 Oct 08 If the candidates were phones

I saw a couple posts on Dvorak wherein the candidates were compared to trains and cars. This gave me an idea, what if we compared them with phones?

Update: For those of you who actually read the text - There are accusations in the comments that I "stole" this from Fark, I did not. The text clearly states where I got the idea from which is dvorak.org, a site I read daily. I never go to and never have been to the Fark forum, except to check the link in the comments. Those who know me, know this accusation is bull-crap and as stated if any accusers (loving their internet anonymity) want to bring it to me in person - I'm game.

    FYI, OpenDNS has your site blocked for “Sexuality” content which is clearly bogus. I submitted it for review of the block, but I thought you might want to give them some shit about it.

    What Obama only works up until the 200 charge. Hmm the old phones were very useful and the iPhone in my opinion is just a joke

    I think a payphone would be more appropriate for Obama. The reason will be obvious come Feb. 2009 when he reneges on his promised tax cuts and announces sweeping new tax increases.

    We can use some of the “change we can believe in” to make a calls.

    you didn’t make this up. I saw a thread in a forum where the four candidates were compared to all types of things like trains.

    Lol
    Obama was a Maglev train.
    Biden was like a normal train
    McCain was a coal powered train
    And Palin was a thomas the tank engine that had fallen off the tracks.

    so hilarious I found it while stumbling

    haha. this might not be the smartest comparison for Obama, seeing as iphone-bashing is the new bush-bashing. He would be like one step up from palin…like a gophone or something. John McCain…okay I’ll give you that one, but Biden? If anyone should get the SMART phone I think it’d be Obama, with all the Harvard anc Columia business.

    Cheney would probably make a good pay-phone with the handset removed. Bush would definitely be one paper cup with a string attached.

    The only thing scarier than a Republican controlled congress with a Republican president is a democrat controlled congress with a democrat president. Think hard about that before you hit that vote Obama button (I don’t like ANY of the candidates myself, so this isn’t from a McCain supporter, just trying to keep the feds from going totally crazy).

    iPhone: Not realy as great as everyone says, but it’s new and exciting so everyone wants one.
    BlackBerry: Better than everyone else because it says so. Also a Knight of Ni!
    Pulse Tone phone: Old as dirt, but will work in a pinch.
    Fisher Price phone: Good for our children and thats about it.
