Republicans Accuse Moore of Vote Bribery
Tue Oct 5, 7:58 PM ET
LANSING, Mich. - Republicans say filmmaker Michael Moore should be prosecuted for offering underwear, potato chips and Ramen noodles to college students in exchange for their promise to vote.

The Michigan Republican Party has asked four county prosecutors to file charges against Moore, charging that his get-out-the-vote stunt amounts to bribery.

The GOP said Moore also offered students a clean dorm room, a year's supply of Tostitos and a package of Ramen noodles...

Okay, this is funny.

underwear, potato chips and Ramen noodles
Which is, ironically, all that most of the poorer college students have plenty of.

So he's essentially saying "Please get stoned and vote and I'll take care of the munchies problem while you can assure your mom you are wearing clean underwear."

I heard Dr. Phil is offering indulgences to folks in Waco in exchange for vote promises.

The republicans in the Michigan GOP are the most ridiculous assemblage of time-wasters on the planet. I mean, they thought convincing John Ramsey (father of Jonbenet) to run for a seat was a good idea...
