07 Jun 08 - 02:21 AM (#2359877) Subject: BS: Chongo's Bow-out date contest... From: Little Hawk So, when do you figure that Chongo is gonna throw in the towel...or would it be the banana peel?...and finally give up his run for the presidency? He hasn't shown any tendency to quit yet. Chongo is not a quitter. To the contrary, the American Primate Party has only stepped up its campaign in recent days, holding big rallies in seven different major centres from Boston, Massachussets to Portland, Oregon. Working from his original base in the Chicago area, Chongo has branched out across the country, spreading the word "through the grapevine" to restless chimpanzees, gorillas, baboons, orangutans, bonobos, and monkeys of all varieties...as well as human beings who are looking for a real alternative to "business as usual" in Washington, D.C. From the way the mainstream media has blacked them out, you'd think the APP didn't even exist! Well, tell that to the 25,000 screaming apes and monkeys who showed up to greet Chongo when his bus pulled into Boise, Idaho earlier today. I bet most people don't even know there are 25,000 simians in Boise. Still, the pundits are inclined to discount Chongo's popular support and one described his campaign as "a Quixotic and futile exercise driven by a gigantic ego that is out of touch with reality". If questioned, they say he has no chance of being elected and will surely face the inevitable and call off his campaign before Labor Day. I'm bettin' he'll hang in a lot longer than that. Anyone care to make a prediction? Get up out of your chair and call 1-800-APE-2008 or go to the website ChongoChimpforPresident.com and make your pledge now! Send small denomination unmarked bills, please! Yes, donate to the APP now and put a REAL chimp in the White House for a change! (we've had quite enough of the ersatz chimps) |

Word is that Obama uis plannin' a secret meetin' with Chongo early next week so I'd say by Wednesday, Chongo will be a free agent again... BTW, has Chongo told you what he's gonna ask from Obama in exchange for stepping out of the way??? B~ |

He may as well hang it up immediately. We don't have centres in the US, we have centers. How does Chongo expect to be elected if he campaigns in places that don't exist? |

And that's what would happen if I were forced to vote for Spongebob. We really don't want him in office. With Patrick Star just one bad squeeze away from the presidency our nation would be in pearl, er, I mean, peril! |

07 Jun 08 - 05:05 PM (#2360269) Subject: RE: BS: Chongo's Bow-out date contest... From: CarolC Since he's a third party candidate, I can't imagine why he would want to bow out before the general election. He doesn't have to worry about primaries like the Democrats and the Republicans did. Up until now, I figured he was maintaining a low profile (and saving his money) until the primaries were over, and then he was going to do his real campaigning. So when is he coming to coastal North Carolina? I'd like to go hear him speak and maybe buy a Chongo T-shirt and some buttons. Do you think he'll be giving out banana hats? |

07 Jun 08 - 07:36 PM (#2360386) Subject: RE: BS: Chongo's Bow-out date contest... From: Bee-dubya-ell Errr... Joe... I think you have this thread confused with the Hillary bow out thread. Chongo is a chimpanzee private detective from Chicago. Hillary is a human Senator from New York. Chongo went to college at the School of Hard Knocks. Hillary went to Wellesley and Yale. But, hey, scientists say they share 99% of the same DNA so I can see how someone could make that mistake. Chongo, on the other hand, might be a bit offended by your faux pas. If you receive a plain, unmarked parcel in the mail during the next few days you might want to have it X-rayed before opening it. It'll probably just be rotten bananas or chimpanzee poop, but I'd play it safe if I were you. |

08 Jun 08 - 05:57 PM (#2360970) Subject: RE: BS: Chongo's Bow-out date contest... From: GUEST,Chief Chaos Breaking News! Some spoiler in an unnamed party has just released pictures of Ronnie Raygun and a baby chimp that looks suspisciously like Chongo inferring that Chongo is closer to the current neo-conservatives than to the Democrats/Liberals. It's followed by side by side photos of GWB and Chongo in strongly similar poses. I guess they're going for a "twin brother lost at birth" angle. Thought you'd want to know! Chongo '08! |

08 Jun 08 - 09:38 PM (#2361073) Subject: RE: BS: Chongo's Bow-out date contest... From: GUEST,Chongo Chimp So the muckrakers and liars are up to their dirty tricks again, are they? Well, this won't stick. That photo ain't of me, it's a photo of my old friend Bonzo, and just between you and me...he thought Ronald Reagan was an idiot. But work is work, right? Bonzo got hired for the part in Reagan's movie and he gave it his best shot even though he had to take second billing to that useless tinhorn no-good actor. The fact is, Bonzo could act way better than Reagan, but Reagan was a Hollywood star, right? You know how that works. Bonzo was also in a buncha Tarzan flicks. They wasn't all played by Cheetah. Sometimes Cheetah was busy in New York doin' stage work and then Bonzo was in the Tarzan films. |
