I was wondering if the “Lizard People” ballot had been referenced on wikipedia yet.  Of course it has.  But really, the other impact the “Lizard People” have made on the world of electoral polics is much more interesting.

During a provincial election in Ontario, Canada on September 12, 2003, the Progressive Conservative Party disseminated a press release describing Liberal Party opposition leader Dalton McGuinty as an “Evil reptilian kitten-eater from another planet“.

Now THAT’s a Zinger!  The greatest political punch in the modern era.  I know Ralph Nader was campaigning against a sound-byte culture, hence the “performance art” display of one word press conference, but I think Nader would have done well to shelve those misgivings and — in order to cut through the media block-out of his and other third party candidacies — come out against Obama and McCain as part of the “Two Party Evil Reptilian Kitten-Eater From Another Planet Duopoly.”
