This is the talkback thread for Homer vs. Electronic Voting Machines in Upcoming "Simpsons" Episode; Groening in NYC (http://news.toonzone.net/article.php?ID=26417).
I still don't understand the partisan political machinery. If I were a Republican, I'd respond to this clip by saying only the Homer Simpsons of America are dumb enough to vote for Barack Obama, but smarter Americans know better. If I were a Democrat, I'd reverse that and say that even Homer Simpson can see through John McCain. Or any response that would relay that yes, even political partisans can have a sense of humor and are able to say things that are not pre-scripted in the talking points for the day. Hell, just say, "I don't think the Simpsons is as funny as it used to be, and this clip is proof."
