    Wow, That should be the slogan of every candidate running for the Libertarian party!Why? Because I can't get elected! Libertarians have never garnered a fraction of the votes the Communist Party of the U.S. got in its hayday. We Libetarians are perennia losers, so vote Libertarian and don't worry!

      Thank you for your input. Rest assured, we value your comments.

      Max failed clown school, so he became a troll.

    E'o Brasil, pais porrada

    The thing that confuses me most about Brazil is that they pronounce their Rs as Hs.

      One of many things I've learned watching MMA.

    "You should vote for those who have something to contribute, and who keep their promises. Don't waste your vote on jokes."

    Exactly.

    Geez just clown running for congress. We've got about five hundred and sixty or so running every two years.

    1. Yeah, but   15 years ago

      ... ours don't dress like clowns, so what they do don't seem as funny/scary.

    From the link:

    While most attack him for ridiculing Brazil's legislative institutions, the most serious suit seeks to invalidate his bid for a federal seat by claiming that he is, like 20 per cent of the population, illiterate.

    Since most Congressmen (and probably most of the legislators in the world) do not actually bother to read the legislation they vote for, I don't see why being illiterate should disqualify him from office.

    As for the slogan "It Can't Get Any Worse If You Vote for Me", I will have to admit that I thought that about Obama.
