Well, my ability to determine the election outcome by voting for the
loser only works after the primary election. Should Jim Webb be
nominated as the Democratic candidate, I'll certainly consider your
advice.

The problem with voting logically and on the basis of promises, is
that none of the candidates have any intention or ability to actually
deliver on their stated promises. Worse, the party platforms tend to
be either identical, or undecipherable. The best I've been able to do
is inspect their voting patterns in congress, which unfortunately
sometimes changes abruptly after the nomination. Third party
candidates often look good, but don't have a chance of getting
elected. My having the responsibility of deciding the election
outcome by voting for the loser is a heavy responsibility, which
should not be treated lightly. But in the end, my vote is usually
based on the lesser of the available evils, on the assumption that all
the candidates all evil.

Last resort. Do any of the candidates ride a bicycle? If not, maybe
ride a Harley?

Most colorful campaign slogan ever, "I grew up castrating
hogs. I'll go to Washington and cut pork".

I heard that and mailed off a contribution posthaste.
Despite my often-bad-luck support, she won.

Sadly, as Mr Lieberman notes, not so much actual cutting.
That just never happens in real life.

For casual amusement, I suggest you read the Republican Party Platform
for 2015 (62 pages):
https://www.gop.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/2012GOPPlatform.pdf
Note that the terms "protect our rights to..." or just "protecting..."
is mentioned quite often. Protect from whom? Obviously, it is to
protect the voter from the government, of which the Republicans can
share an equal blame as the Democrats for creating situations that
require protection. On casual inspection, it would seem to be
organized much like a Mafia protection racket, where those that cause
the problem, and those that offer to solve it, are the same.
Incidentally, the last time we actually had a balanced federal budget
was under Eisenhower. The immediate result was near economic collapse
that was only solved by a major increase in government deficit
spending. The lesson was not lost on the government, which now
considers government debt and spending to be the solution to all
problems.

I assume that the Democratic Party Platform will be similar once
they're done copying the ideas and innovations of the Republicans and
3rd parties.

Gone antenna raising. More later, if I survive.

Doesn't matter whether there was actual cutting, or whether it's even
tried. The real objective is to say something that gets people to send
in their money. And it worked, didn't it?
