Better Use of the SimVac?

These people mean in illegal ways. You know, secret operatives changing the outcome of the computer systems, buying off (or otherwise pressuring) Supreme Court justices. That sort of thing.
Isn't that how things normally work? "Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything." In Soviet Russia, votes count YOU!

Oh, and I envy you UK people for having a leader who actual speaks English. Americans don't appreciate the fine art of oratory.
Well, I dunno, Bush did give us several nice ones. My personal favorites include "strategery" and "misunderestimate".
ZephyrZodiac:
I think Kennedy was quite an orator - he certainly had the charisma to get people's attention, and Clinto wasn't too bad either. Perhaps it's just your Republicans who don't understand the art!
Oddysey:
Yes, but Kennedy was assassinated, and Clinton was character assassinated. Generally, the ones who get attacked are the ones who actually have some idea what they're doing. Britain might have the same problem; I don't know quite enough about the history of the UK to be sure.
ZephyrZodiac:
Well, our Prime Ministers aren't quite the same as Presidents - we vote for a particular party, and we just get the leader the party chose as part of the deal - but of course, if the leader of a party is very unappealing they tend to lose elections fast! (And the Tories haven't managed to find a leader with mass appeal since they got rid of Maggie!)
Kitiara:
I wish I could sarcastically ridicule Bush in a manner that would make it likely to be viewed by him. Then I could nominate this in the DI.
