My Political Positions

You know, people always ask me, "Yang, where do you fall on the issues?  Who are you voting for this go round?"  Well, I'll tell you, it's a very delicate process.  We can certainly talk about the merits of the entrepreneurs of America and less government intervention versus the need for a realistic safety net and a reigned in foreign policy; but...I think the whole process can really be solved by one issue alone:

Daughters.

Daughers, you say?  Yes, daughters.  Let me illustrate this in graphical form.

Between George Bush and Al Gore, who had the stronger positions.  As with most of the country, it was a very hard decision.  But with use of the daughter methodology, the choice was a little bit easier.
Here are the Bush daughers circa 2000:

That's not bad, and, as a bonus; they're twins.  But here's where Gore fell on the daugher issue:

Ooooo.  That's a close one.  I mean, college age twins that drink a lot.  That's tough to beat.  But much like the actual election, it was neck and neck with Gore getting the edge.  He has three hot daughters and they're still hot after college just like they were in college.

What about Kerry vs Bush.  Again, the daughter method is useful.  You've already seen the Bush twins, so here's John Kerry's kids:

Again, very close, but with the one daughter looking like a cross between Ann Coulter and a praying mantis (which may be redundant), the twins mystique wins out; again, eerily like the actual election.

But what about this go round?  Obama or McCain?  Well, this was shocking, but according to the daughter methodology, John McCain would've led us into the promised land and should've been elected president.  See for yourself:

 or would you prefer 

Yes, exactly.  Obama's kids are cute and all, but damn.

When we violate the daughter principle, we do so at our own peril.  It is nature trying to tell us something, and makes all issues easier to deal with.  Adopt the daughter principle in your own life.

Of course, at this point you may be saying, "But Yang, what about Bill Clinton?  Chelsea wasn't a looker back then and the economy did pretty well."  True enough.  But consider what Chelsea's competition was:

Game. Set. Match.
