Re: Nobel Peace Prize, who would you vote for?

What a useless poll...how many people get nominated for that thing? And wait a minute, someone picks out 2?

I think Gore is a better choice, he'd fit in perfectly with the rest of the anti-Americans like Carter who are usually there and there abouts. If he runs in 08 this will be huge materiel for his opponents to use agaist him should he win the award.

Then why did you vote for Rush?

And what is it about winning the Nobel Peace Prize that would be detrimental to a Presidential campaign?

Do you actually think that the Nobel Peace Prize is anti-American?

New nomination rules, effective from 2003. Compared to the old rules the list of nominators has been slightly expanded.

Any one of the following persons is entitled to submit proposals:
  • members of national assemblies and governments;
  • members of international courts of law;
  • university chancellors; university professors of social science, history, philosophy, law and theology;
  • leaders of peace research institutes and institutes of foreign affairs;
  • former Nobel Peace Prize laureates;
  • board members of organisations that have received the Nobel Peace Prize;
  • present and past members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee; (committee members must present their nomination at the latest at the first committee meeting after February 1);
  • former advisers at the Norwegian Nobel Institute.
Observing the rules given in the statutes of the Nobel Foundation, the Committee does not publish the names of candidates.

The Nobel Peace Prize may also be accorded to institutions or associations.

The nominators are strongly requested not to publish their proposals.
This will show you that both Gore's and Limbaughs nomination are pure spin. The publication of their names in this context is the only goal, as it also amounts to jeopardizing any real chance they might have had.

Al Gore, Jimmy Carter, Rush Limbaugh, Kofi Annan, Yasser Arafat ... etc .. etc ..etc .. seems kind of meaningless to me when people like this get nominated; Regardless, you should have added a neither button ...

Re: Nobel Peace Prize, who would you vote for?

There definitely needs to be an other option:

I think Gore's odds of winning are about 1 in 10.
I think Rush's odds of winning are about 1 in a trillion.


.....so you're saying there's a chance!?

Re: Nobel Peace Prize, who would you vote for?

I think I deserve it for not punching one of my irritating neighbors right in the face. Where's my nomination for being peaceful and understanding?

You should have a choice of "neither". That is my vote.

Well then, in that case I would have to vote for Rush Limbaugh. His ideas would result in free market societies throughout the world allowing the poorest countries to build wealth and a higher standard of living for their people. The better standard of living a country has, the less prone it is to aggression towards others and the larger the expansion of liberty among its people, thus promoting peace.

Al Gore's solution would be wealth redistribution, taking from the productive and giving to the unproductive, a system which in the short run would achieve higher living standards for the poor, but a system which cannot be maintained in the long run and would eventually collapse on itself like we saw with the former USSR and are seeing in many Socialist European countries today.

But, I do reiterate, my ideal choice would be neither.

Re: Nobel Peace Prize, who would you vote for?

Foamy the squirrel. Ye, he's a cartoon, but:

He's more alive than Gore.
He's way smarter than Rush.

And his minions are faithful and will destroy you.

So I'm voting Foamy.

Matt
