Californians...always cutting edge!

Frankee-Frank-Frank		2002-02-27 11:08:45 AM

I predict he will win, voters are stupid.

boorite		2002-02-27 11:09:02 AM

And I'll be Bob Blowjobs for All Boorite.

Eschewing Gum		2002-02-27 11:10:40 AM

Vote for me!
George W. Not Too Bright Bush.

Commence flame wars - over and out.

The man turned the ballot into an ad. Kudos to him.

Palm Beach, Florida voters still wouldn't be able to figure it out.

Diogenes		2002-02-27 11:11:51 AM

Pretty risky thing to do - just ask Bush Sr. what happens when you hang something like that out there. His mantra was "Read my lips..." What's this guy's slogan going to be? "Say my name, biatch!"?

Someone in the Peoples Republic of California wants to lower taxes? He must be from out of state.

RockabillyRebel		2002-02-27 11:14:12 AM

Low Tax is pissed

France Surrenders

tomveil		2002-02-27 11:15:18 AM

What does the original Lowtax have to say?

Mattix		2002-02-27 11:15:40 AM

I just wonder how easy it would be to get elected when ole Thruman kicks off if you chaned your name to his and then moved to his state and ran.

Bagu		2002-02-27 11:15:45 AM

where's that mp3 of Dennis Leary's "asshole" song when you need it?

Guy Innagorillasuit		2002-02-27 11:16:22 AM

How about changing his name to "John Anything To Get Elected Loew".

CrazyHighGuy		2002-02-27 11:20:09 AM

How about I change mine to:

"Crazy just smoked some great weed out of my new color changing glass bowl High Guy"

Whatcha' think of that? Skipping work to smoke weed! YEA!

Crazy High Guy

techmaniac		2002-02-27 11:20:40 AM

Politicians, no wonder most of them are lawyers. Always looking to change perception to benefit themselves.

Can we add them to terrorist groups along with PETA? That would be a fun weekend of hunting. Lawyers, PETA, and that crackwhore in Texas.

Phalkin		2002-02-27 11:20:40 AM

Guy Innagorillasuit: That was his original name. The new one is an improvement.

stephenv		2002-02-27 11:23:32 AM

Drew Presents Fark Curtis

unbrchain		2002-02-27 11:23:54 AM

That gives me a sweet. Im changing my name to George "best lover in the world" (last name)

Diogenes		2002-02-27 11:26:02 AM

Slayerswine: Can you think of one for Fb-? I'm drawing a blank. Can't work that father thing in.

Fb- The Progenitor, Farker? Weak....

WarmBeer		2002-02-27 11:26:08 AM

How about "John Missing-the-Big-Picture Loew"?

stephenv		2002-02-27 11:26:14 AM

Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka

CommanderTaco14		2002-02-27 11:27:10 AM

About five years ago, a candidate for a senate seat in Tennessee changed his name to Byron "(Low Tax)" Looper. He then proceeded to murder the man against whom he was running. That's where Lowtax got his name... Will history repeat itself?

Sentient		2002-02-27 11:30:50 AM

Brilliant. Since he's a politician, I assume one of his aides came up with the idea.

butt.fur		2002-02-27 11:32:05 AM

Bush's Florida ballot name:

George Albert Gore Bush

Stugar		2002-02-27 11:32:21 AM

Commander- I remember that well. He was nuts.

Flamebait		2002-02-27 11:42:55 AM

Is this guy the Libertarian candidate?

HAHAHA "who understand economic policy? Nobody"

Nobody is perfect.

The only name that can beat that is:

Joe Free Beer Blow

bwingrave		2002-02-27 12:42:43 PM

The author uses "see accompanying" twice in the article. Where on the page is the accompanying stuff to which he refers?

Devotchka		2002-02-27 01:15:32 PM

CommanderTaco: Is that really where Lowtax got his name? I'm not very good at picking up on sarcasm.

MrEricSir		2002-02-27 01:25:46 PM

Will this help the Republicans gain credibility?

bluerose		2002-02-27 01:25:49 PM

California's not so cutting-edge. This happened in Tennessee a few years ago.

Granted the crazy farker killed his opponent, but he was in fact, first.

yotta		2002-02-27 01:33:04 PM

People who stoop so low just to win an election deserve the ultimate punishment: to win!

SLAYERSWINE		2002-02-27 01:39:20 PM

Fb-,
The neighbor just came by. He said he heard me laughing from next store after I read your new FARK nickname.
GAWD dude that was funny...

Corporate Mofo		2002-02-27 01:57:47 PM

Only one answer:

LOWTAX FOR PRESIDENT

rich_mitch		2002-02-27 03:21:48 PM

OK, Mytwocents, I'll bite - What's a "whorejacker?"

snackypod		2002-02-27 03:38:08 PM

Snacky "Mytwocents, wanna get married?" Pod

Good god, it's an unfair world.

rich_mitch		2002-02-27 05:44:03 PM

C'mon, Snackypod, you know better than to marry a whorejacker.

GameSharkNick		2002-02-27 06:30:03 PM

Commander Taco and tomveil, judging from most of the replies, I don't think too many people know about Byron Lowtax Looper.

-Nick

Chilly Willie		2002-02-27 07:08:40 PM

omg

"He said he heard me laughing from next store after I read your new FARK nickname."

next store?

do you mean next door?

do you also say 'would of' instead of would've?

or new-cue-lar instead of nuclear?

janus4935		2002-02-28 10:33:05 AM

CommanderTaco14 damn beat me to the punch.
Ah good ole "American Justice" with Bill Curtis.
Where would we be without you?

I wonder if he's related to Drew?
