Fri, 10 Jul 2009 18:44:54 +0000 http://rawstory.com/blog/?p=4135#comment-15710 I refuse to support a Green Lantern candidacy simply because they refuse to specify which Green Lantern we're talking about! There are four based on Earth alone, and hundreds more in space! But, while we're at it: Hal Jordan: While possessed by Parallex, he killed a lot of people. A whole lot of people. Granted, he was possessed, but mass murder is still a pretty big turnoff for a lot of voters. Guy Gardner: He's a douche! Kyle Raynor: He's Green Lantern, he's Ion, he's Green Lantern again... Pick a side, we're at war! John Stewart (the fictional black guy, not the real Jewish guy (no 'h' for that one)): Undeniably qualified, but the office would be a waste of his skill set (architecture). Still, he was the one who first got in Hal Jordan's face in the 1970's and asked him what he'd done for the black man while he was busy helping the blue man and the purple man (not the Purple Man, but, you know). If Cyborg didn't make it past the primary, he'd probably be my second choice, but we all know there's no chance of that, right? Vote Cyborg! The self-made man (GET IT?)!

His jurisdiction is so big would he give D.C. the time it deserves while he is defending a whole sector of space. I don't know about Green Lantern.

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 05:20:51 +0000 http://rawstory.com/blog/?p=4135#comment-15600 This election is a joke! Obviously, Cyborg, with his experience as long-time leader of the Teen Titans, would make the best mayor for Washington D.C. The Atom, while a certified genius, didn't even realize his ex-wife was a serial killer until it was too late. We need someone who we can trust to not only make the smartest choices for the city, but who will be a good judge of character when making political appointments. Batwoman, while a strong candidate, would just be another old-money politician with no idea of the struggles the middle and lower classes face. Spider-Man has no business running for office in this economic climate when he can't even get himself out of debt. Superman and Wonder Woman would be just plain too busy to give the office the attention it deserves. Besides, Wonder Woman is already heir to the throne of Themyscara! We don't need foreign royalty telling us what to do. Cyborg, however, can sympathize with the plight of the common man, while bringing respectability to the office. As a former troubled teen who grew up to becomeone of the most respected members of the super hero community, he is perfect for the job! Vote Cyborg 2009! This election is a joke!
