Frank Zappa for President 2012! Because the corpse of a "genius" is better than the choices we have!

@lizardfirefighter110 I agree. I once voted for Ross Perot and was told that I'd thrown my vote away. People are brainwashed into believing that a third party candidate does not deserve serious consideration. I'm seeing less & less difference between the 2 major parties. And I'm afraid that the ship is being steered on a course that can not/ will not be changed. So...Think outside the box. Give Paul a chance. No better time then right now!

Although these two men agree on one or two issues I would never associate the two, not in my wildest dreams. Hitler and I may agree on flushing the stank bank after you make a deposit, that doesn't mean I'd invite him over for punch, or draw some wild connection out of thin air trying to associate a villain with a hero.

Love zappa's music but I must say I agree more with Ron Paul's view on approaching fascism than Zappas'. I think that franks views towards America and fascism are a little pedantic, and slightly subjective. He was right about the corporations and the political side but nobody is putting a gun to your head to learn about Jesus. Believe whatever you want to believe, thats what makes America so great and is one of the reasons why every other country hates us.

Some Republican propaganda zombie tried to convince me that Zappa would have voted for Paul. That is so fucking false that I want to puke. For the record, and on many of his records; Frank Zappa HATED Republicans. He had lots of fun with Ronnie Raygun and the failed Star Wars program. Yes, he took on Democrats, too. Only when talking about Govt. in a general way. He hated Republicans, spent a lot of time getting fans to register to vote at concerts before Bono made it cool. Paul pushers=funny.

@zep2zap I voted for Perot, too. That pissed me off when my vote went to the Republicans. I didn't vote Republican for a reason, so they just stole my vote. Like in 2000 when thousands of blacks were falsely classified felons so they were turned away from voting. Bush Jr. owes Abramoff and friends BIG time. He got his POTUS status AND his phony war in Iraq; security duty for Oil/Independent Corps. Zappa would have had a lot of material come out of this election season. Hated Reagan

@CaptainJondlechit AMEN THAT!

Frank would of made a splendid president.

"Once again you're implying that the government acted without the will of the people. The PEOPLE wanted non-discrimination laws."

If 95% of "the people" wanted the other 5% killed, would you support that as "the will of the people", or would Constitutional rights suddenly matter then? I'm guessing the latter.

Ron Paul is the only hope of America?

No the PEOPLE are the pnly hope for America. A politician will forever remain a politician. The scumbags behind American fascism will, sooner or later, convince/bribe/blackmail Ron Paul into either helping them or pretending they are hurting nobody. If they can't succeed that way, they'll either assassinate him or, and I quote Stalin on this: "The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything"
