Last week we told you about The Simpsons’ upcoming episode wherein Homer, attempting to vote for Barack Obama on a touch-screen voting machine, has a few problems in the process. Here’s the very funny, were it not so very unfunny, clip from the upcoming show…
So The Simpsons now get it. Why don’t Obama and the Dems? And why are they doing little or nothing to ensure that every voter in the nation is able to cast a vote on a hand-marked paper ballot this year?
Tell your favorite candidate(s) that you’ll support them if they support you and your vote by pledging not to concede this year until all votes are counted, counted accurately, or challenged in a court of law. (See StandingForVoters.org more info, the pledge, and stuff you can hand to your favorite candidate to demand they stand up for you this time!)
Hmmm…
Great!!! I can’t believe they still got it after all these years
My favorite Simpson election spot
Tell your favorite candidate(s) that you’ll support them…
No. Enough of cheating Republicans & stupid Democrats.
Tell them you’ll vote Green. They’re running a full slate of candidates.
For that matter, what is this “bailout” thing? Wall Street wants money?
We want single payer. Wall Street has been waiting a week? We’ve been waiting all our lives.
I’m certain we can work something out.
I didn’t say they had to be Republicans or Democrats, Dave. I said “favorite candidates”. Check the StandingForVoters.org site and see who the first Presidential Candidate to sign on is!
That’s a beautiful clip. Soon I might just be tempted to get my American flag out of the basement where it’s resided ever since the invasion of Iraq.
Hey Brad, have you seen this yet?

“So The Simpsons now get it. Why don’t Obama and the Dems?”
Sadly, the answer would have to be because Obama is just there to wave, shake hands, smile nicely, say things people want to hear and then politely and most importantly PROMPTLY concede as soon as the “election” is rigged for McSame. The whole idea being to make us all think we actually have a choice come election day.
The homer simpson clip has been removed from Youtube !!
There are various screwy replacement videos that appear instead if you try to search for it now but they have posted a message (under “more info”) that Fox claimed “copyright infringement”. HOWEVER, there are plenty of other Simpson’s clips still readily available on YouTube. While doing a google search for anything on YouTube with the words “infringement fox obama homer vooting” I ran across somebody claiming she was banned from YouTube for posting an anti-republican video. Check it out.
Here is that “more info” text:
