On Nov 4th 2008, I gave my vote away. No really, I did!

This was a skeptical experiment, intended to inspire questions and enquiry about voting.

PENN JILLETTE’s e-mail response to this video:
“I watched it. It’s really nice. I’m so flattered that I inspired you.

I don’t think lobbyists really buy votes and I don’t think lobbyists are evil, but this is a cool video. Thanks.

Penn”

What DEREK of SKEPTICALITY podcast had to say:
“[...]the video is a really good ‘lesson’ on some of the nitpicks with our election system. Great job man!”

The idea for this short was inspired by the following:

-In July of this year, University of Minnesota student Max P. Sanders put his vote up for sale on Ebay. Sanders was brought up on a Felony charge: one count of bribery, treating and soliciting under an 1893 state law that makes it a crime to offer to buy or sell a vote. If found guilty, he faces up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Im not saying that what he did was right or wrong, I mean on the one hand, people have fought and died to give you a vote, so how dare you belittle that by trying to sell it, but on the other hand People have fought and died to give you a vote and if you cant sell it then its not really yours, and all those people died in vein. (http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/07/04/ebay.vote.ap/index.html)

-And lets not forget that Congressmen sell their votes all the time to Lobbyists in what is known as Campaign Financing and no, they dont go to jailThey get re-elected.

-The Max P. Sanders case was first brought to my attention by an episode of PennSays. Penn made the interesting and inspiring point that a Vote, like sex, was another thing that was legal to give away, but illegal to sell. I wanted to test this theory. Turns out Penn Jillette was right!

On Nov 4, 2008 I gave my vote to James Knox-Davies

MC Howie and Julie K are back with “Vote Barack” (to Young MC’s “Bust a Move”)

This heres a song for Barack Obama
Its mostly comedy, with a little drama
But first, there are some things that we must explain
About the senior senator John McCain
He was John McNasty at the last debate
He was spitting venom, he was full of hate
He didnt seem presidential, he just looked irate
But maybe it was just pain from an enlarged prostate

Contrast that with our man, Obama
Props for takin jabs but staying calmer
Than Mahatma Ghandi or the Dalai Lama
Now here’s a question mark and here’s a comma
Baracks the man for the highest office
Maybe finally, we can get this country off this
Path, and our potential unlock
So dont just sit there, vote Barack!

Now, lemme talk a little ’bout Joe the Plumber
Tryin to win votes for Dumb and Dumber
Sayin Baracks tax plan is the worst
Well, maybe he should pay his own taxes first
Were on a mission, and we’re wishin’
Someone can cure this economic condition
It sure wasnt Bush, it wont be McCain
And it wont be Sarah cause shes got no brain

Now the verdicts in on Troopergate
She abused her power in her very own state
She stings like a bee, she spreads lies like pollen
I dont like her, and neither does Colin
I love trucks from Tonka, I love Willy Wonka,
I love Barack Obama in La Casa Blanca
But don’t stay home because you think it’s a lock
Now dont just sit there, vote Barack!

One of the few red states left is Oklahoma
I guess theyre not concerned about his melanoma
But you know what they say, were just a heart beat away
From Moose-alini as the Pres, and thats not OK
She likes to fish, and she likes to hunt
But you know what I think? It think shes just a
Kind of politician that John McCain
Chose as his VP for political gain

Yes, its clear that he picked her to get female votes
Shes cute, but shes a wolf in a Dall Sheeps coat
When she doesnt memorize her lines straight by rote
She cant produce a single answer from her neo-con throat
But study Barack, baby, if you can
Hes like Albert Einstein with a health care plan
If you listen you can hear this opportunity knock
So seize it, nation, vote Barack!

Now Baracks number two is our man Joe Biden,
Maybe he is not the most excitin
But great advice to Barak, be providin
And over the Senate, be presidin
Some of you might not have been alive
When John McCain was in the Keating Five
Senate ethics committee said his judgment was poor
Does that sound familiar? Iraq war.

Now were talking to you, if youre in a swing state
It could be up to you you gotta pull your weight
You gotta take control, get up and take a stroll,
Head over to the polls, man I love Tootsie Rolls
I dont care if youre Red, I dont care if youre Blue,
I dont care if youre Christian, Muslim or Jew
Lets show the world that our democracy is not a crock
So get out and vote, and vote Barack!

Rachel: In January 1964, the 24th Amendment to the Constitution abolished the poll tax. A poll tax was a fee you had to pay at the time of voting. No money, no vote. So, rich people voted, poor people didn’t. 44 years later, we have a sort of poll tax: long lines. Long lines. How many hours did it “cost” you to vote? 2? 4? 6? How much income did you lose? So, you need the money, or if you can’t take the long wait, guess what? You don’t vote. You want to vote, but you can’t afford to. Nonvoters in Ohio, 2004, cost John Kerry the Presidency…Obama voters, no matter what, no matter how long, please, please don’t go home. Wait as long as you have to. But do NOT go home without casting your vote…Vote, then go home. VOTE. VOTE… It is time for CHANGE. We, the People have the POWER to make that CHANGE. The Ballot. Vote Bush and his Republican pals out of office. America can’t have 4 MORE years, the SAME as the last 4 with the failed Bush-McCain failed policies…VOTE THE BUMS OUT!

I think YouTube erased all the comments when I had to replace the audio track. But the results of the poll were that most people would not vote for Sarah Palin, but WOULD have sex with her. Thank’s y’all and no thanks to WMG for taking away the original song and screwing it up– Assholes!

This is a poll to determine what segments of the population would vote for Sarah Palin and what segments would have sex with her.

Original audio, Humpty Dance by Digital Underground has been replaced with $55 Motel by Jesse Jaymes.

Please read all instructions before voting! Below the video, in the comments section, you will find the choices you can select for your vote. Read ALL of the choices to determine which most closely matches your opinion and description. Then, select ONE choice by clicking the “thumbs up” picture next to your vote. You will be indicating three things with your vote:

1. Your sex
2. Whether or not you would vote for Sarah Palin
3. Whether or not you would have sex with Sarah Palin

Thank you for voting! Check back often for results as the election grows closer! This video will not be accepting text responses so that everyone can see the results of the polling.

This video doesn’t really have anything whatsoever to do with the following:
