&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana&quot;&gt;The headline says it all, folks. 23 percent of Republicans in the latest AP/IPSOS Poll prefer &lt;EM&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;FONT-FAMILY: Verdana&quot;&gt;NONE OF THE ABOVE&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/EM&gt; over all the declared candidates of the GOP. Rudy &apos;Judy&apos; Giuliani, Fred&amp;nbsp;&apos;TV&apos; Thompson, John &apos;Capt. Queeg&apos; McCain, Mitt &apos;Headroom&apos; Romney, they all take a back seat to...&lt;EM&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;FONT-FAMILY: Verdana&quot;&gt;NONE OF THE ABOVE&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;FONT-FAMILY: Verdana&quot;&gt;!&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; A candidate we can all embrace, no matter how unlike minded we are on the issues. &lt;EM&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;FONT-FAMILY: Verdana&quot;&gt;None of the Above&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/EM&gt; has no issues, and takes issue with none, always in agreement in the midst of disagreement. &lt;EM&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;FONT-FAMILY: Verdana&quot;&gt;None of the Above&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/EM&gt; promises nothing to nobody...and delivers. &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana&quot;&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;FONT-FAMILY: Verdana&quot;&gt;None of the Above&apos;s&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/EM&gt; past can&apos;t be mined for&amp;nbsp;scandal and embarassing flip-flops, because &lt;EM&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;FONT-FAMILY: Verdana&quot;&gt;None of the Above&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/EM&gt; has no past and doesn&apos;t wear thongs. Give it up, swift boaters--Trying to pin something on &lt;EM&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;FONT-FAMILY: Verdana&quot;&gt;None of the Above&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/EM&gt; is like playing pin the tail on the donkey--with no ass. &lt;EM&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;FONT-FAMILY: Verdana&quot;&gt;None of the Above&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/EM&gt; represents the faceless and silent majority of Republicans who would just&amp;nbsp;rather not think about the past six and a half years. As a matter of fact, &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt;None of the Above&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; has no face and no comment, and therefore requires no expensive make-up artist, hairdresser, or speechwriters. &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt;None of the Above&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; has no need for expensive consultants, requires no bales of money for pol-ops and dirty tricks, doesn&apos;t have to hang even one chad; all that &lt;EM&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;None of the Above&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/EM&gt; needs is for you the distressed and dissatisfied&amp;nbsp;Republican voter to write in &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;I&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;FONT-FAMILY: Verdana&quot;&gt;None of the Above&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; on every ballot you cast.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana&quot;&gt;Listen to the &lt;A href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog-whistle_politics&quot;&gt;dog whistles&lt;/A&gt;, the creatures of the right, ah, what music they make... Tired of barking every time a&amp;nbsp;tighty righty&amp;nbsp;purses his lips and blows? Whistle for &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;I&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;FONT-FAMILY: Verdana&quot;&gt;None of the Above&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; and you will ride with the wind. The whistle stops here, that&apos;s &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;I&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;FONT-FAMILY: Verdana&quot;&gt;None of the Above&apos;s&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; motto. &lt;EM&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;FONT-FAMILY: Verdana&quot;&gt;None of the Above&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/EM&gt; needs no bus or private jet on loan from your friendly corporate overlord; &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt;None of the Above&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; is everywhere and nowhere...wherever you go in these &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana&quot;&gt;United States&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana&quot;&gt;, &lt;EM&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;None of the Above&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/EM&gt; is already there.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;

&lt;P style=&quot;TEXT-ALIGN: center&quot; align=center&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 13.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana&quot;&gt;Just think how much safer the world would be if &lt;EM&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;FONT-FAMILY: Verdana&quot;&gt;None of the Above&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/EM&gt; were president.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;FONT-FAMILY: Verdana&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
