Kerry/Edwards: They Wank Themselves
As those who monitor political_wank already know, the Kerry/Edwards campaign has been generating shipping. Lots of it. Like, faux-tinhattery shipping. It is a thing of beauty and a joy forever and the John Squared lj comm definitely wins the award for funniest RPS locale evar.

But. Inside this merry fandom is a STORM brewing. A storm of MOMENTOUS proportions. It all started when the moderator posted a poll of the community members...

finalrequiem declares, reminiscent of L Neil Smith's libertarian sci-fi, that he'd rather vote for None of the Above but will pick Bush/Cheney instead even though he doesn't like Bush either. When asked why, he declares that because the candidates suck this time 'round, he'd rather keep things the same until they get better ones.

The wank breaks out in full force. Spelling is analysed. Intelligence is insulted. Genitals are brought into the picture. The name of Abe Lincoln is invoked.

God, I love politics.
