"The world mourns the loss of two great leaders today: former Senator Robert Dole and President William Jefferson Clinton. France's President Blacque Jacque Chirac called the act of terrorism at last night's presidential debate "inexcusable" and "tragic". Cuban terrorists, in pursuit of Ross Perot and his daughter since 1992, stormed the Toronto Civic Center during the debate and opened fire, killing the two leading candidates as well as over 50 spectators before being gunned down by secret service agents.
"The next question: what does this do for the presidential race, now just six days away? Since Perot was not allowed near the debate forum, his life was spared, making him the leading candidate. Neither of the two parties will be able to agree on a candidate in only six days, and, let's face it, Al Gore is simply too inanimate to be President. Clearly, the only possibility of someone challenging Perot would be another person with enough personal wealth to launch the massive ad campaign necessary to get that many votes in such a short time. But Bill Gates and Steve Forbes were both killed by the terrorists and Ted Turner was fatally shot by a secret service agent aiming for Turner's wife. Will anyone be able to challenge Perot? Here with his expert analysis is Al Frankin -- oh, wait...I've just been handed a bulletin...Oh, my. It appears that a new candidate has just thrown his hat into the ring. And it looks like this is going to be an interesting six days. Not to mention the next four years..."
Burns not only dominates in the wealth department, but the public will also like his political views. Perot's focus is balancing the budget. Burns will overplay Perot's only trump card with his own balanced budget plan: The federal debt will be eliminated in one year! Burns is such a pennypincher that he'll refuse to spend a nickel on anything. He's so greedy that he'll raise taxes through the roof (although he won't admit this beforehand). With his "Tax & Save" program, the federal debt will be history in less than a year. Of course, poverty will skyrocket, but hey, that's good for Burns too. He can get away with paying his employees lower wages. Burns '96! Burns '96!
BRIAN: You've presented me with a mightly challenge this match, Steve: which one of your glaring untruths should I point out first. Well, I'll start with your first one. Having the most money may help, but it is by no means the deciding factor. If it was, then how do you explain the super-rich Steve Forbes losing to the relatively impoverished (not to mentioned less charismatic) Bob Dole in the Republican primaries? Both of these participants have so much money that they SHOULD be able to buy anything they want, so a few billion here or there won't matter.
Note the key word there: "should". Perot knows how to spend his money. In 1992, he went from complete obscurity to a viable third party candidate in a matter of months despite several mental lapses in the middle of the election season. He almost won Alaska in a rigid two-party system! Burns, on the other hand, will screw up. First of all, if he employs the strategy you suggest, he will be ripped apart by the press and no amount of money will be able to alter his ogre-status. Second, even if he does do superbly well in the campaign, he'll get greedy. Say he's leading in the polls by 30 points on Election Eve, he'll try some huge PR stunt in an attempt to garner 100% of the vote. Similar to the "Blinky Incident" in his run for governor, his stunt plan will undoubtedly backfire, sending him into third place behind Ralph Nader. Third, we've already seen that Burns can't buy anything he wants. How much money did he spend in an attempt to win the Springfield Film Festival (tm)? Millions, if not more, and yet he failed. Then, in a desperate attempt to save face, he bought off "everyone in Hollywood" to win the Oscar with his fictional biography, only to lose to George C. Scott and "Man Getting Hit By Football". Are we supposed to believe this man can buy an election? Perot and his Electronic Town Hall (tm) in a landslide.
STEVE: I obviously have to explain things to you, since you have some naive misconceptions about how elections work. First, Steve Forbes lost because 1) He didn't dare spend nearly enough of his large fortune on campaigning and 2) His eyes are bugging out of his head. The voting public perceives this as meaning he has O.D.ed on narcotics, and therefore can't be trusted. As far as the "Blinky" incident is concerned, Burns has learned from that one. He won't be making the same mistake twice. Of course, there's always the chance that he'll forget about it, but Smithers will remind him and make sure he stays away from the Simpson family. (Burns: "Simpson, eh?" Smithers: "He's one of your drones in sector 7G. Stay away from him!" Burns: "Exxxxxcellent.")
You say Perot knows how to spend his money. Hmmm. Let's see. He spent millions of dollars in bought air time. What did he get for his money? Could it be.... NOTHING? He may have gained popularity for a short time, but it quickly reversed itself. In fact, everything Perot stood for was decimated in Washington within 2 years. The debt continued to rise, NAFTA passed, etc. Now, he is viewed upon by the public as a rich psychopathic Howard-Hughes-esque dictator. Burns, relatively unknown, will not have his history working against him like Perot will. This will be the clincher. The voting public, eternally unaware about what they are getting into, will be a sucker for the newcomer Burns.
BRIAN: Boy, Steve, you better sit down. I'm sure you're a little woozy after all that flip-flopping you just did. I point out your glaring inaccuracies about how money is the main factor, but then you put your Spin Control (tm) to work to explain away how Forbes lost out. C'mon, Steve. We all know what the biggest issue is here: The Larry King Factor (tm).
That's right. Both candidates are required by law to appear on Larry King every other night. Perot's a natural at this -- he's been on Larry King more times than Larry King. He'll woo the American public with his flow charts and his pie charts and his bar graphs. What about Burns? Well, what happened the only other time he appeared on an evening news program? He threatened the entire city of Springfield on Smartline (tm)! Once Larry brings out Burns' tyrannical side, his support will plummet, since, as we learn from the polls, America likes warm, cuddly, and slick.
Add this together with all of Burns' scandals that the press will dig up and run into the ground: He runs a nuclear power plant that breaks every EPA violation in the book; His troubles with the SPCA from this hound training practices; His "close" personal assistant with the "alternative lifestyle"; His disdain for big government ("Thank you President Ford!"); His past history as the leader of an army of the undead, etc. Once Mike Wallace gets through with him, he won't get a single vote from a non White Supremicist. The only drawback to Perot is that he's basically clueless, but heaven knows that never stopped anybody from winning an election. Perot landslides with 534 of the 538 electoral votes (with Burns taking only Idaho).
Thanks to the scores of people that suggested similar election-based
and/or billionaire-based matches, but we liked this idea best.

Smithers: But sir, he's guarded day and night by the Secret Service. He even hired Clint Eastwood to make certain he stays alive. Burns: Well, you've planned ahead, have you, my diminuitive counterpart. But I wonder if even you can handle "Mister S." Leave me, Smithers! [Smithers leaves.

Ross Perot is toasted eternally on the fires of Hell, along with such well-known American evildoers as Richard Nixon, Lyndon Johnson, Roy Cohn, and Bing Crosby.

He succeeds in getting the 22nd Amendment repealed, and serves as president until 2024, when he is followed in office by our first female president, Lisa Simpson.

Ross Perot on the other hand has a nevous break down in the middle of one of his live infomercials, ends up being commited, and drops out of the election.
Face IT NEITHER One of these two have a snowball's Chance in HELL OF BEING ELECTED.
So. Who Does....
RALPH NADER!!!!!!!
Face it, after theese two are out of the race, Ralph's only serious competition would be Harry Brown of the Libertarians, and John Higlam of the Natuaral Law party. Come debate time, Ralph will chew theese two up and spit them out. Ralph has a billion point IQ. He knew about the harmfull effects of Second Hand Smoke, air polution, DDT, artificial Sweetener, and Beverly Hills 90210. Perot's and Burn's campaigns will crash and burn fast than a Corvair, ALL HAIL LORD NADER!!
- WHO WILL WIN!
We all know that elections are fixed. The Powers-That-Be would never
allow Perot to win because he cares far too much for the country and its
welfare. He's opinionated and wacky, and everyone knows opinionated wacky
people are hard to control.
Burns, on the other hand, would be the perfect puppet for the People
Behind the Scenes. He's rich, unscrupulous, self serving, and completely
without conscience...What more could They want?
- Krys Taylor
Don't forget the rest of the Simpson clan. After all, the infamous Blinky Incident was engineered by Marge, Bart and Lisa teamed up to impeach Mayor Sideshow Bob, and, most tellingly, Maggie shot Mr. Burns. The Simpson family will be Mr. Burn's downfall.
But, as Steve would ask, wouldn't Mr. Smithers remind Mr. Burns to have the Simpsons "taken care of?" We must remember that it was Mr. Smithers who brought down Mayor Sideshow Bob, who turned stoolie to Bart and Lisa because Sideshow Bob's views conflicted with Smithers' "lifestyle." Whatever his personal attractions to Mr. Burns may be, would Smithers really allow him to be president? I think not. He would just say, "That's Homer Simpson, one of the peons in Sector 7J. Don't need to worry about him," and sit back, knowing Homer would take care of the rest. Sorry, but our next President will be Perot. (Though Mr. Burns has my vote)
- Mike "What about Nader?" Myers
The other options I would haved like to have seen:
-One of the dead candidates still wins (very likely)
- Gary
Burns, on the other hand, is not, and never was a people. He has no
good intentions. He just wants to dominate, rule, enslave, and get
the good babes.
Now, who do you think is destined to be a politician?
If I have to tell you it's Burns, then you have been
dead for a long time.!

Burns, unlike many people, realizes that most americans are
complete and total morons. Burns will explain this to the public with
every chance he gets, and they, being the morons that they are, will
take this as being a remarkably intelligent statement, and Burns will
eventually win by a landslide. President Burns will then take the
title of President/Emperor/God/Superior and turn all americans into
mindless zombies working in uridium mines.

Also, don't count out the Estate of Walt Disney Factor (tm): every

1.Smithers "alternate lifestyle." Perot has tons of dirty tricksters
left over from the Watergate days and as any Perot fan well knows,
he's a sucker for conspiracies and cloak and dagger.
2.Perot gets the backing of Troy McClure. Perhaps you remember him
from such past campaigns as "McGovern 1980" and "Gary Hart Part
Two:This Time I Won't Quit."
3.Of course, somehow Bart will get into one of Smither's commercials
and show his ass. Happens every time.
4.If Maggie could outfox Smithers, then one would suppose that a dwarf
megalomaniacal rich paranoid from a steer and queer state could (be
patient, I'm trying to figure out a religion angle and offend
everybody).

FACT #1: Perot has a mental short-circuit -- he's paranoid. All Burns has to do is have
a few shady looking cartoon characters follow the Little General and his family around.
Perot will hold a press conference the next day... "I have been persuaded by the
volunteeeers to step down."
FACT #2: Candidate Burns working with a few allies in the power biz can shut off the
lights of every home in the U.S. I doubt Ross can turn on a light bulb. Intimidating
isn't it?
FACT #3: Let's not forget the final trump card! Nuclear power can be deadly. "How are
we doing in New York, Smithers?"
With Tim "the Toolman" Taylor as his running mate, Burns would be unstoppable. More
Power, Arrr, arrr, arrr...

Also, Burns has a real drawback. As anyone who has ever seen Roger
Rabbit knows, Burns is a toon! Quark/Perot will expose Burns as a

- Craig Denison
However, Burns' downfall will come when he is forced to select a
running mate. Montgomery Burns, in his infinite greed will look to
capture the remaining 5% of the electorate who are still backing
Perot. With this in mind, he will seek to balance his ticket with
some "easily manipulated boob who will appeal to the common man."
As any fan of the Simpsons knows, the obvious choice will be Homer
Simpson for Vice President.
Then on election eve, with a Burns landslide all but assured, the
Homergate scandal will emerge. A special report on Smartline (tm)
will reveal that Homer has invested large sums of campaign money in
Whitewater, thinking that he was buying an extra-foamy brand of beer
for the victory party.
The voting public, having thought that they had heard the last of
Whitewater, will turn away in disgust from the Burns/Simpson ticket in
droves, resulting in a landslide victory for Ross Perot.

Due to the cynical nature of the American voting public, everyone
stays home, doesn't vote, and we spend the next four years without a

metamorphoses into the first true Marxist state.

Meanwhile Burns and Perot have both spent their entire fortune trying to buy the vote.

Glad to see SOMEONE is paying attention - Eds.
As American history shows, the people love the underdog. (Yes,
I have some balls saying this after the election, but...)
Perot's humble, Gump-like, American-dreamy background will work
in his favor. Burns, on the other hand, will come off like the
arrogant rich old fart he is the first time you get him on
"Larry King Live." (But that's why we love him so much!) Also,
as soon as the locusts -- er, news media -- descend on him for
in-depth interviews, the editorials will go after his
"association" with Smithers (but we're not touching that one
with a 10-foot cattle prod, boys and girls) like Janis Joplin
after the last bottle of Southern Comfort.
Perot won't even have to say anything at the debates; Burns will
rapidly talk himself into a hole ("Ethnic cleansing?
Exxxxcelent."), resulting in an election that strangely
resembles the matchup between Bambi and Godzilla.

Anyway, considering the opposition in this election, I am
sure that most Americans would rather vote for the
blank stare, no signs of life, zombielike, emotionless candidate
than the likes of these two. The election day headlines clearly reflect
this mandate of the people:

Quick math. Burns is 104 years old. That's 1.4 Bob Doles worth of
campaigning! So Burns captures over 58% (42% * 1.4) of the vote compared to
Perot's tally of 8%. Burns wins everywhere save the 52nd state in the union,
Toronto, and strategic parts of Mexico, which Perot bought to increase his
vote count.
On the downside, at the inauguration, Burns is accidentaly crushed by the
Bible he was to take to oath of office on.

Scrooge managed to buy the election by bribing the electoral college with
a "Jumbo Keg" (tm). These are, after all, college kids; they understand
beer more than financial kickbacks. McDuck gets all but 12 of the
electoral college votes. The 12 E.C. nerds voted for Perot and his fiscal
policies (each college has its share of losers). Burns, meanwhile, having
failed in his second attempt at public office, decides to have a "Gorby
Tattoo" imprinted on his scalp, to appeal to the voters next time.
McDuck's victory speech is televised from his estate in Duckberg, with
Darkwing Duck heading up the security detail. McDuck promises sweeping
changes to the government, whereby large companies, presided over by
rodents, will get preferential treatment. A surprised nation, then stands
for the singing of the proposed new US National Anthem: "It's a small
world".
Unfortunately, President-elect McDuck never gets to do any official
business in the Oval Office, as he is savagely gunned down by a confused
gunman. The asassin, Elmer Fudd, is acquited because someone in the
government forgot that duck hunting season coincided with inaguration day.
Dan Quail is immediately sworn into office and names Donald Duck as
Secretary of State. Within two days, a third world war breaks out, when
the world's foreign nations are miffed by Donald's speech impediment and
notoriously short temper during a speech at the United Nations. Most
Americans decide to escape the insanity by emigrating to Canada and
joining the Royal Canadian Moose Mounties, led by Brigadeer General,
Dudley DoRight.

Number one, sabatoge. You cannot look me in the eyes and tell me that
Bart Simpson, knowing that Mr. Burns would run for president, would actually
let it pass and continue mooning people. No, Bart Simpson stands for
something, and he would do anything within his power to stop Mr. Burns from
taking over. What? You can't look me in the face because this is a letter?
Well, tell all the lame excuses you want, but I know better.
You may wonder how Bart could sabatoge a presidential election. Well,
that's where number two comes into play. Remember when Bart defended Krusty
in court? That made him a national hero. The kids love him, the parents
love him, anybody he endorses is in office. Of course, Mr. Burns would try
to take advantage of this by telling Bart what to say on television. Far
from his former, less-than subtle self, the current somewhat sneaky Bart
would agree(demanding the money beforehand), then say "Can I have my $5.00
now, sir?" as if he had been innocently taken advantage of on national
television. This does not bode well for Mr. Burns.
The final nail in Mr. Burn's coffin will be natural suspicion of a
non-platonic relationship with Smithers, losing him the important Idaho
electoral vote.
Perot by a landslide, though Smithers wil carry some of the California vote...

My prediction is that Side Show Bob will enter the grounds and be discovered by
a patroling sercet service man. The alarm will be sounded and a bloody melee
will ensue. Bob will be victorious but will be badly wounded and will have
expanded all of his ammo (the guns of the SS are similiarly out). Dizzy from
lack of blood Side Show Bob will enter Perot's bedroom. As Bob's hands touch
his neck Perot will awake, see the mad look in Bob's eyes and start to say
"Don't kill me" but will only get as far "don't" before he will slip into
"HHHaaaa" as Bob begins to chock him and head butt him in the mouth. They will
both pass out, Bob from lack of blood, and Perot from lack of air. They will
both come too at at about the same time but Bob will be too dizzy to do
anything and Perot will spit out a tooth with a "Vu" sound and with try to
escape only to find the door to have swelled shut from all the blood Bob
splattered on it. Perot will then try to think of a way to kill Bob and save
his own life. After a moment his Texan spirit will inspire him to try a charge
"like a herd of stampeding cattle". In his beleagued state he will psyche
himself up as he makes sure of his footing. Panting he will utter the fatal
word..." Hah Hah(this is panting) Cow". Bob's dizzy state will cause him to
think that Perot said "don't have a cow". (To reveiw "Don't HHHHaaa vu HAH
cow"). This will cause Perot to blur in Bob's mind with the hated image of
Bart and Bob will gain the RAGE (tm) factor and quickly finish Perot off in a
flurry of flying flesh(soon to be TM).

The scenario you give is the only way Perot could ever win
the presidency, but win he will. Here's why:
1. Perot already has an established base of supporters (few though
they are.) His name is on the ballot in every state in the union,
I believe. Therefore, he is already at a he is already at a great
advantage.
2. Burns will of course use his fortune to try to buy the election
in the last few days. His propaganda machine will backfire, however,
as Bart and Lisa find a way to humiliate him during a live,
internationally-broadcast speech the night before the election.
(Perhaps Marge's painting of Mr. Burns in the buff will
mysteriously appear on the stage behind him..)
Incidentally, Burns will carry just one state: the one where
Springfield is located. It seems that at the Springfield polling
station there will be approximately 50 million votes for Burns.
Go figure.

election day, when the largest voter turnout in history (nearly
99.9%) eagerly elect Mr. B as their new president.
This is based upon the "Bo Bo" Episode of the Simpsons as well as
countless other evil plots by Mr. Burns.

The first is the often critical choice of a running mate. Since this
decision will have to be made relatively quickly, Ross Perot will have
nowhere to go except to reaffirm his confidence in the blundering
Admiral Stockdale. Meanwhile, Charles Montgomery Burns will emphasize
that he has a name better suited for the U.S. Presidency and proudly
bring forth Smithers as his running mate. While Burns and Perot buy
citizens' votes, Smithers and Stockdale will engage in unlively
debate, with Smithers easily crushing any hopes for the Reform
candidates V.P. choice. Smithers will also double-talk his way into
the hearts of the American middle class, not to mention those of
"different" sexual orientations.
The second overlooked fact is that 7 % of all registered voters will
turnout for this election. Since Burns employs this many people, his
puppets will be the only ones to voice their... "opinions."
The result, Burns wins 48 states, led by Illinois and Massachusetts
with unanimous votes in their Springfields. Perot decides to hang it
up regarding politics after carrying only West Virginia and Texas.
By the way, Burns looks like a better leader than Perot, too.

Its true, however, that this image would also involve hords of women,
each "stack to the hilt" (as all Disney women are drawn), but this is
also an all American trait that needs to resurface.
In the end, if Burns were to get out of hand, we could shoot the
cartoonist responsible, thereby allowing the Vice Pres (Bart Simpson)
to rule the world.

"Homer Simpson, Sir, he is, err, was one of your drones from Sector
7G."
"Simpson, ehh, never heard of him."
"He foiled your campaign for governor, you adopted his son, ran over
his son, nearly married his mother-in-law, and was shot by his infant
daughter. Since he has caused so much trouble in the past, I've had
him and his family executed two days before the election. I thought
you might like to spit on his body."
"Excellent. Now nothing will stand in my way!"
"Yes sir, Mister President"
Burns not only has enough money to BUY the election, he also has the
deviousness to pull it off. Afterall, he DID try to take candy from a
baby, did he not? (As if shutting off the sun in Springfield wasn't
enough...)
Burns could go about this one of two ways. He could either buy off
the general populace to vote for him ("I'll give you each a shiny,
new, quarter if you'll vote for me."), or he could buy off the
Electoral College. It doesn't matter what the people vote, it matters
what THEY vote.
But I honestly don't think Burns would run for an office. It would
involve too many rules and media hounds. I think he would probably
prefer to buy his own country (how about Germany? "Ooooh....I'm so
SCARED of the Germans...") and become the Dictator for Life.

"Yes Mr. Burns?"
"Beat the crap out of him."
"Yes Mr. Burns."
Smithers leaps across the platform and tackles Perot. His blind
fervor scares Burns into having a heart attack and he dies. Smithers
and Perot go head over heals down the stairs on the side of the
platform. The roll along the ground until the slam into a speaker
stand, knocking the two heavy speakers down on them. Because Smithers
is a toon, and can take the punishment of having all that weight
knocked down on him, The winner of the election is Smithers as the
only candidate left to vote for.

The heartfelt choice here is Burns because he has demonstrated an
occasional sense of humor and even rare tenderness amidst his barrages
of cruelty, whereas Perot is simply a lunatic without a shard of
humanity. However, Perot will win because of some last minute
shenanigans that turn the race upside down: One week before the election Perot goes on Larry King, plunks his
ass down on the stack of phone books reserved for him, and announces
that he is dropping Choate from the ticket. His new choice is Phyllis
Diller, which bridges the Gender Gap (tm) while garnering him the
coveted AARP (tm) endorsement and bringing millions of Hollywood
Squares (tm) fans into the Perot fold, not to mention all the folks
who confuse Phyllis Diller with Minnie Pearle or Madame from Waylan
and Madame. Burns, realizing that the only way to soften his image as evil
corporate overlord is to choose--as Perot did--a washed-up 70s TV
nutcase as running mate, ejects Smithers from the ticket, losing both
the Gay Vote (tm) and the heretofore underreported sycophant vote.
Burns' advisors make overtures to Larry Storch, who is holed up in a
Vegas cathouse and hasn't seen the light of day since obtaining the
entire library of Bob Crane's porno tapes from Richard Dawson. An
Enquirer (tm) reporter digs up Storch's expired NAMBLA membership
card, and the offer is quickly withdrawn. In last-minute desperation, Burns calls Rip Taylor personally and
offers him the second spot on the ticket. Taylor accepts on the
condition that he gets an hour-long variety show with Krusty as lead-
in and 200 metric tons of confetti. The bold move once again attracts
the Gay Vote (tm), but no one can really figure out whether Taylor is
or isn't, so half of the Gay Vote (tm) goes back to Perot because
Phyllis Diller reminds them of a drag queen anyway. The night before the election it is revealed that Phyllis Diller
and Madame are in fact one and the same: a ventriloquist's dummy.
Pundits rush to condemn the choice of a wooden puppet as a running
mate, but then recant when they realize the very same tactic worked
quite well for Clinton in '92. The final tally: Perot/Diller - 48%;
Burns/Taylor - 39%; and surprise write-in McLean Stevenson with 8% in
a last-minute grassroots surge of the rabid Hello, Larry (tm) fan
club.

Burns will win for one simple reason. Both are greedy, tyranical,
power hungry, charisma-less, ogres. Ross is full of crap and tries to
pretend like he isn't. Burns will be seen as at least being more honest.
-Nation takes up arms and makes move back to Monarchy. Our new
king? Arnold Shwarzeneger(tm).
Perot has basically good intentions. He thinks he knows how to run
the country, and he probably has some compassion for the people.
After all, he was a people, once.
Ross Perot couldn't even beat ALIENS BENT ON ENSLAVING SPRINGFIELD, nay,
EARTH!!! He's surely no match for
the most ambitious, powerful, ruthless man in the world, Charles Montgomery Burns.
Oh, sure, Perot will
try to enlist the help of Tito Puente to compose another spiteful Latin Samba against
Burns ("El diablo con dineiro")
but Burns knows how to deal with bad P.R.
The key factor here is going to be air time. Perot, with his pie
charts and 30-minute infomercials, is going to be spending a lot of
money buying time-slots to get his message out to the voters.
Unfortunately, the voters are already sick of them and won't watch.
Burns, however, already has several years' worth of air time on the
Simpsons that not only did he not pay for, but which he GOT paid for.
The voters already know how he stands on issues such as poverty, the
environment, business regulations, etc. Unfortunately, it's all been
NEGATIVE air time. The voters have been trained by TV to believe that
Montgomery Burns is a cynical, greedy louse who doesn't care about
anything except his own power and money. No matter how much money he
spends to convince the public he's really a nice guy, he's bound to
lose.
Monty Burns baby Burns wins. Simply put, history foretells what will come. In this
case, we have a television star going against someone who has not maintained a high
profile between campaigns... I note comments regarding unfortunate incidents from
Montgomery's past, however Reagan was able to successfully win consecutive terms and
his experience basically amounted to a bunch of "B" movies...and some California time.
Burns is already high profile, appearing for countless hours on televisions daily around
the U.S.
Of course Perot would win. Those namby-pamby liberal geeks would
never vote for a man who owns a nuclear power plant! In addition,
what kind of decent AMERICAN would vote for a man who has had a
(possibly latent but surely there) homosexual affair with his
administrative assistant? C'mon! Burns has a history that is sure to
offend both sides of the political spectrum. Perot is just a
distasteful little geek with a bad accent. He might even be an
improvement over what we've had in the past.
Burns vs. Perot!? C'mon, this is an absolute give away. We're
talking about a rich texan who is respected only by . . .
uuuhhhh...byyyyyyyy... oh wait a minute, I forgot. Perot isn't
respected by anyone other a small group of bacteria living in siberia,
who are a)not voters and b)not sentient.
Admittedly I have little faith in the American voting public. I do
credit them with enough intelligence not to vote for Perot, they will
choose the cartoon character instead.
Brian has grossly underestimated what the American people will
accept, especially in conjunction with the Larry King Factor(tm). Does
anyone remember a few years back, when John Brain (tm) announced his
candidacy for President of the United States? He freely admitted that
his ultimate goal was world-domination, and he inspired a grass-roots
movement that carried him to the brink of success, only to be undone
by the revelation that he, John Brain(tm), was a mouse. Montgomery
Burns possesses that same straight-forward determination that the
average American Slack-Jawed Troglodyte (tm) wants in an elected
official.
Sorry folks, but I have to go with reality here. Perot reminds most of the
Tyson chicken guy "ItTakesAToughManToMakeATenderChicken!" Good,
wholsome family values. Besides, Perot is firmly third-party, to a
degree that would make Gingrich hug a tree or Nader kill a bunny. Montgomery
Burns, on the other hand, exemplifies all that America was
founded on yet hates. Pure, 80's 'greed is good.' He ALWAYS slips up...
and his pact with Satan is sure to come to light.
Gentlemen, gentlemen, you neglected the political dynamic of our age:
independent candidacies. With the big competition down, EVERYONE
will be scrambling to get in. Each state will have its own
Favorite Son(tm), swamping the big money, which scarcely has time to
buy TV ads. November 6th dawns with 51 separate winners, and a juicy
constitutional crisis. According to the 12th Amendment to the
Constitution(C), when nobody wins an electoral majority, the House
picks the winner from the top 3 finishers. Those would be the winners
of the three biggest states: California, New York, and Texas.
New York: Realizing that money buys elections only because money buys
media, Rush Limbaugh and Howard Stern begin blitzkrieg radio
campaigns. Stern holds a slim lead in the polls until, like his
gubernatorial run in '94, he drops out for no reason. Rush wins the
state, and sweet revenge for his WWWF defeat.
Texas: Er...ah...um...darn it, I can't find a way around it. I give
in. Ross Perot wins his home state.
(Montgomery Burns won his home state, whatever it was, but it was too
little. "Drat! Smithers, find out the asking price for the Supreme
Court. And don't be extravagant, I only need five of them!")
I don't care how far they kept him from the campaign or how far ahead Burns was
in the polls, several seasons of the Simpsons have proven two things: 1. Homer will
always be involved in whatever Burns is doing and 2. He will always screw it up. Wealth,
power and evil are impressive attributes, but they're no match for the idiocy of Homer.
Simpson.
I think you have forgotten an important issue; Running Mates! This is
where Burns will get his votes, he has Smithers! If ever there was a
job that required floundering and ass-kissing, it's the Vice
Presidency. And, if ever there was a floundering ass-kisser, it's
Smithers.
Just when I thought that I had seen the worst possible match-up of
potential national leaders (Clinton vs. Dole), I am faced with the
only possible worse-case. Would it be the psychotic little Yoda(tm)
look-a-like from texas, or the psychotic satan look-a-like from
Springfield. Well, as everyone knows, looks matter more than wealth
in elections (that's the only explanation that I can come up with for
Clinton's lead). Yoda all the way!
A lot of people watch the Simpsons. The Simpsons
are funny. They make you laugh. And Burns has a part in all this,
endlessly scheming to take over something, or making Homer his patsy.
Most of us know that, if elected President, Burns will treat us all to
the same crazy hijinx we know and love.
Burns is a better choice than ANY CANDIDATE because he is
a man of Caricature.
Perot wins. Why?
Burns will do everything in his power to win this election. This is
not just the governorship of some no name state here. We're talking
the leadership of the free world. If he's willing to hire ringers
to play on his already undefeated softball team just to win a lousy
million dollar bet ("I'll just throw it on the pile I suppose") then
surely he will be willing to spend the dough to buy all the votes he
needs to become president. And Ross should be
prepared to get a visit from some of Burn's Hired Goons (TM) just
before the election. So, whether through intimidation, cheating, or
possibly even good old politics (nah) Charles Montgomery Burns will
lead the United States Of America into the 21st Century. BOOOOURNS!!
Gentlemen, gentlemen, you have both missed it completely. An election between Burns and
Perot is not about money, it's about POWER.
"We are 2 points behind, Sir."
"What can we do about it Smithers?"
"We could Nuke them sir".
"Most Excccellent!"
You're forgetting the Waylon Smithers factor. When Smithers is on
the case there is no stopping him. After all, he kidnapped crooner Tom
Jones didn't he? Who does Perot have as his lackey? Stockdale is too
honorable to pull the dirty tricks needed to win this election.
Burns, being Pure Evil (tm), will
easily be able to lie his way into office by accusing Perot of being
an alien robotic extremist Nazi who wants to starve schoolchildren and
throw old people out of hospitals to die! He'll then render anything
Perot can say useless by saying that he wants to keep the campaign
free of "mudslinging" and "vicious personal attacks". If Perot
mentions anything about Burns' "scandals", that will then hurt him
more than Burns. So, since Perot has at least some inclination to be
an honest, rational candidate, he'll lose big to any liar.
There's no way Mr. Burns can lose with the electronic Richard Simmons
as his running mate. BURNS/SIMMONS 96!
There is more here than meets the eye. What Perot has hidden from the
American public is his advanced technology. Advanced technology?
Yes.
Ross Perot is really Quark from Deep Space Nine (look at the height,
look at the ears!). Quark/Perot knows the history of the earth. He
would not run unless he knew he was going to win.
Monty Burns will take a commanding lead in the early polls due to his
limitless wealth and his basic evil nature which will allow him to
spend on unscrupulous yet effective anti-Perot advertising. Ross
Perot, being merely rich and eccentric will be sorely outgunned.
This match is a bit of a joke. Perot, who isn't a viable candidate
(he's actually a smokescreen Republican vote-deflector for Clinton),
and Monty Burns, who's a character on The Simpsons and
therefore can't win anything.
Perot wins due to the "Well known sleaze factor". Perot's money has
bought him one thing, name recognition. That his name is recoginized
as one of the premire psychotic, unstable, and generally annoying
people in public life won't matter. The masses will vote for the only
name that they have heard sooo many times, Ross "Rich Boy" Perot.
At first the public is receptive,
flip-flopping between candidates as each propoganda blitz hits, like the typical voter:
Homer Simpson. He sees Perot on TV with some "pretty charts" and decides to vote for him.
Then a Burns ad tells him that if Perot wins, Homer will be out of a job. Homer's head
bounces between the campaigns like a ping pong ball - empty and wacked. Eventually he
gets bored and goes to see if Bart has any Butter Fingers bars he can eat. Bart and Lisa
are surfing the internet and Homer notices a picture of Harry Browne
(www.harrybrowne96.org) and asks who that guy is. Lisa explains that Harry is the
Libertarian Party (www.lp.org) candidate for president and that he promises to end the
tax, shrink government and balance the budget in his first year. Homer says "that's
silly - this is a two party system". Meanwhile his brain thinks "but wait - if I didn't
have to pay income tax, I'd be able to afford more donuts!". So Homer goes out and votes
Libertarian. So do millions of others. There is a huge upset and HARRY BROWNE is elected
president!!
We had one response that was omitted due to its length, but which contained
one line which spoke volumes and was too good not to include:
Burns wins hands (or should I say, claws) down. Burns has no
conscience to speak of. He has the United States Army germ
warfare division under his control. His only weakness is his teddy
bear, which is probably orbiting Venus at this very moment. Perot
stands no chance.
Mr. Burns is the easy choice as Leader of the Free World.
Why?
2. The presidential candidate with largest facial features (Carter's
teeth, Dukakis' eyebrows, Bush's forehead) will lose.
Proportion-wise, Perot's ears beat Burns's nose eight ways to
Sunday.
3. Burns can out-Perot Perot. You want paranoid? Who was
afraid of germs, wearing Kleenex boxes on his feet? Burns. You want
short? Who goes to great lengths to stay hunched over by
tucking his shirt in deep? Monty Burns. You want crazy? Who
exposed himself to a housewife? Burns. Burns. Burns.
4. The Clincher. The Larry King Factor! The Larry King
Factor? Who gives a rip how well you do on Larry's show when Larry
King makes a guest appearance on your show. I never saw or
heard Larry King on one of Perot's infomercials...
Burns will lose to Perot, who will in turn lose to
some write in candidate because, as we all know, politics is a
popularity game, and people with ears that large cannot be
popular (i.e. Prince Charles).
I voted for Mr. Burns because I want to be on his good side when he
wins.
I've voted for Mr. Burns because I believe that he will represent my
views on destroying the sun.
BURNS! BURNS! BURNS! BURNS! BURNS! BURNS! BURNS! BURNS! BURNS!
2. It is the 90's and Smithers' "life-style" will show the public that
he is not predjudice. (Also you may remember that Smithers started
out with a dark skin tone and that could help with the ethnic vote)
3. You cant say that George C Scott getting hit by a football wouldn't
win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4. Finally with all of the B.S. that the american people have gotten
from real people, maybe it's time to break through another racial
barrier and have an animated president.
I didn't vote for Perot four years ago, I didn't vote for him
yesterday, and I won't vote for him for something much more
important...the World Wide Web Grudge Match. Regardless, we need a
president who is willing to step on toes. Even if someone else does
the stepping "Smithers, would you please beat Newt senseless".
Well, this is the best contest since Gilligan vrs Pee Wee Herman!
I want Burns because he is a wolf in wolf's clothing, and these days
that's a breath of fresh air!
Why the hell is the AMERICAN presidential debate in Toronto
Canada??
True, Mr. Burns has the same sort of charmingly evil charisma
we've seen before (Hitler, Satan, Bill Gates, etc.). It's also
true that he's got enough money to make all Perot's assets look
like chump change. However, as we've seen in various Simpsons
episodes in the past, Burns was essentially born with a silver
spoon in his mouth. Perot, by contrast, had to work (well, more
or less....c'mon, stay with me here) for his gains. True, most
of them came from raping and pillaging his own company, but I
digress...
I would try a write-in vote. I would support MARGE SIMPSON for
President! She has the decency, compassion, and intelligence to do
the job. She's also a lower-middle class soccer mom, so she
understands what the "average American" goes through.

Burns is a crafty, evil, lying individual who will do anything to get on top. Perot
has the common sense of a melon. Burns makes regular appearances on the hit show The
Simpsons. Perot makes regular appearances in infomercials designed primarily as a cure
for insomnia. Burns has survived a severe gunshot wound and eight long years of Homer
Simpson. Perot survived the 60's without once getting laid.
Brian & Steve, you have made one of the classic blunders! The first is
"never get involved in a land war in Asia," but only slightly less well
known is this: "never ignore the dead, especially around Halloween."
HAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHA! HA!
Seriously, a couple of years ago here in New Jersey, a candidate
who had been DEAD for about a week WON a political election for
a local post. Recently, another dead person ran for office in a New Jersey
election. So, you see, being deceased is not a barrier to public
office. (And considering some of the voters in New Jersey, being brain
dead is not a barrier to voting either, but that is another story).AL GORE WINS BY LANDSLIDE

PEROT BLAMES GHOSTS OF FDR & RICHARD NIXON FOR DEFEAT
I voted for Monty Burns because:
2. We've seen Mr. Burns in the nude, when Marge painted his picture.
We all survived that, so we could survive his administration. Would
anyone want to see Perot naked?
3. He loved his Teddy Bear BoBo. He can be bought by the Toy
Industry.
Burns will be enjoying a double-digit lead until the last day when
tabloids carry copies of the dreaded nude painting of him done by
Marge. Perot in a landslide.
When I voted Burns was winning 1103 to 371. Perot can't get
votes ANYWHERE!!!
First off, as the fateful U.S. Presidential debate was held in Toronto, it
must logically follow that the city has become American territory. On behalf
of all Canadians living in the rest of Canada, let me extend my warmest
thanks to the citizens of the United States for ridding us of Hogtown. We
owe you one. Any favour you guys want - just ask for it.
Clearly only one person in this world is rich enough to win this
auction... er, election: Scrooge McDuck! This is a man who gets his
exercise by swimming in his vaults filled with gold coins. Burns may have
a roomful of treasures and Perot may have a few billion stashed behind his
ears, but their combined fortunes wouldn't fill the pool at their local
country club, much less a Swimming Vault (tm).
Without going into (much) detail, it is obvious to me that Perot would win.
You guys needed to have had a third candidate. As we all know, Perot HAS
to come in third.
Would you vote for someone who has recently tried to have someone killed? No.
If it is in the distant past (like 3 months) then maybe they could claim they
are reformed now. Anyway this is what it comes down to: Mr Burns is, as we all
know, very rich but he is also a miser. It would be much cheaper to hire an
expert and trained killer capable of getting past SS gaurds (say Side Show Bob)
than to beat Perot at advertising. The only problem with this is that Perot is
paranoid. If the plot fails then the whole thing will be recorded on the
secret video cameras that Perot had installed in and connect to a secret room
under his mechanical bull. He had installed these so that each day before he
left his locked room he could check the house for reporters who might ambush
him and surprise him into giving a comprehensible answer to a question of
policy.
While Burns may have the greater wealth and the support of his
nonexistent political history, the simple fact remains that he is an
inanimate series of frames in a cartoon series. Of course, so is
Perot. Perot, however, is more animated and cartoonish, and will carry
the election for his sheer huggability.
Well, it's pretty obvious, isn't it? Burns is evil. Perot is just loony. America loves a winner. Burns takes every state but Massachusetts.
Easy one..
Assassination.
Mr. Smithers will take out Perot with a candlestick in the
conservatory.
Oh sure! Everyone loves to think a cartoon character can do anything. But take
a look at those eyes!!! If Forbes lost because of HIS buggy eyes Burns doesn't
have a hope. Besides Perot looks like he could really be E.T.(tm) and he lost
to Alf in a previous contest and if he really IS from another planet (he could
be from another planet, you know) he wouldn't take kindly to losing twice and
could squash some cheezy old cartoon character with both hands (paws?) tied
behind his back. Besides, the one choice which would have won by a landslide
wasn't included..... WHO CARES?!?!?!
The last time I saw someone with ears that big it was an elephant
named Dumbo, and he learned to FLY!! Burns can't even WALK fast w/out
keeling over from exhaustion!! (of course, neither can Homer, but
that's not the point ...) The point is .... The point is. The point.
A flying president, right, yes, THAT was my point. And now I've made
it. Thank you for rambling to my listenings.
I voted for Burns because We all know where he stands on the issues.
For example I'm pretty sure he's for gay rights (Mr. Smithers), And
the war on drugs and crime we be solved with a few simple words
"Release the hounds".
Perot Wins!
Here is an interseting match-up. An old drooling vegetable that eats
apple sauce through a straw against an old drooling vegetable that
eats Jello(tm) through a straw. The answer is simple. They both die
from pace-maker failures and in the confusion Bill Gates'
reincanated spirit takes the presidency.He then transforms
America into a stock pile for cheap software. I rest my case.
(Smithers, release the hounds.)
Done in Perot vocale,
See, let me tell you why I'd kick Monty's ass. First, I'm the one who
should have won the election anyway before Clinton and Dole were
assasinated. Second, I was followed and my family harassed by some of
the most fierce people you will ever see......the Cubans, Vietnamese,
those crazy coooks from the 3rd rock from the sun, and most
importantly those two big headed aliens from the Simpson's. Now if
they can come down once and twice a year and nearly take over
Springfield and the earth without Monty Burns doin' a damn thing he is
no match for me. They came and abducted me on their way to earth
capital, gave me the rectal probe and the severe beatings but I
withstood it all only to turn around and kick their martian ass
because I said " You can come down here to earth and take over the
rest of the world but I'll be a cricket's cousin if I let you come and
take over the greatest country in the world, the land where any rich
person like myself and Steve Forbes can give it our all to become
President." So to conclude if I can save the earth from alien
domination I can kick the shit out of some wrinkly old man and his
queer assistant. Now take me to earth capital and let me rule!!!!
We have seen the future . . . and it is Burns.
The relentless nature of both candidates would surely tear apart the
fragile bindings of our government, but only one will obtain the
presidency.
Setting: All 3( or is it 4 or 5 now) major networks during the Prime
Time hours.
Perot has bought the next few hours of air time and is now dredging up
a chart about the budget, when suddenly the TV image begins to waver.
With a BLIP, Perot's image is replaced with the stalwart Mr. Burns.
There are two simple facts you both seem to be overlooking.
Although animated, I believe Burns to be less greedy than "Big Ears".
A benefit of being animated, the American people can build him into
what ever form we want. He can be be redrawn, after spending time in
some miracle fountain, and be reborn as the tall, dark/handsom, and
witty "All American" that we know the world expects from the U.S.
Okay this one is simple. Everyone knows by now that the winner of any
election is the candidate who can best play up to the media. And what
does the media like better than anything else? I'll tell you. The
media loves a person who is articulate, motivated, and full of motion.
In short they love a candidate who is animated. Now who's the more
animated of the two. Yeah I know it's a tough call but it's definately
our good friend Mr. Burns. Okay I hear all of you out there arguing,
"But Perot looks just like Mickey Mouse!" While that may be true,
that's his only redeeming feature. He hardly ever moves, he's got that
silly accent, (Sorry Texans. Please don't kill me!), and well the
media is just getting plain tired of him flashing his money. Mr. Burns
on the other hand is always moving around (granted very slowly),
always plotting something, and well he has that really neat yellow
blotchy skin. Plain and simple the media ignores Perot completely so
the people think Burns is the only candidate left. As a bonus, Burns
guarantees employment for his 'esteemed' opponent, White House
accountant.
"Smithers, who is this corpse?"
I think that there's absolutely no question about it, Burns would win.
It's really very simple. Burns always loses. Always. Even if Maggie Simpson has
to shoot him, Burns will find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
This isn't so much voting for Perot as it is admitting that Burns is at heart
completely incompetent, just like everyone else in Springfield. What happens:
three days before the election, immediately after the debates (in which, Burns
won all three, leaving Perot in the dust to mutter "gridlock" to himself) his
election strategists tell him he needs to "warm up a little". So, somehow the
Simpson family manages to louse things up for Mr. Burns (who else would do it?
Milhouse? C'mon) and his campaign goes spiraling down in flames. Of course,
Perot doesn't win by a landslide; he narrowly beats Lyndon LaRouche for the Big
Chair. But Perot still wins. Burns makes vague threats to Homer, but they never
get followed up on and anyway, Lisa Simpson helps save Mr. Burns' plant in the
next season, so everything is all right.
The final debate, Perot begs the voters with his anal voice and big
ears, while from the other side of the platform...."Smithers..."
Both candidates would run the country into the ground, but Burns will
win because of one reason: the Springfield Factor (TM). The race would
be an extremely close one, since voters would be extremely apathetic,
and turnout would be low. But in close races, small advantages would
push one candidate over the top. And for Burns, the Springfield Factor
would do it. The springfield factor is that Burns is from Springfield.
Springfield where? Well, that is the question. Virtually every state
in this country has a Sprinfield, and the American public, being
essentially a bunch of idiots, will instanty consider Burns a hometown
boy, and vote for the Springfields most respected 104 year old
citizen. Perot will win only Texas, and Burns will carry the rest of
the country.
Well, while Burns will come close, he will lose for one,
and only one reason:
he will pick Homer Simpson as a running mate. :)
Something that Steve and Brian seem to be forgetting is the Evil
factor. Burn's Good/Evil switch is permanently soldered to the evil
position. Since Burns has learned that buying off judges doesn't
nessesarily work, he will resort to more devious devices. If direct
threats to Perot don't work, Burns won't hesitate to "destroy him"
tactics. This will be quite easy since Perot's head of security is
Lyle Hutz. You may know him from such films as "Me and the Banjo
Kid", "Sam the Samurai goes to College", and "Pardon Me, I Seem to
have Forgoten my Pants."
Burns rules the world by 2000.
