Voticons
Though the standard emoticons are really not expressive enough. I suggest a new category for voting machines - Voticons. Here are some possible Voticons.
Holding my nose while voting for you
You were the lesser of two devils
After voting for you I think I am gonna spew
I am embarrassed to have voted for you but you sucked less than the other person.
I voted pro-life, please don't disappoint me
Used for politicians like Sen McCain where you are "split" between liking him one day and hating him the next.
Remember this is my wallet not yours, please vote accordingly.
Now in some situations I guess you could actually use one of the normal smiley emoticons, for example if you actually get to vote for someone like Sen. Sam Brownback.
And here is one last one:
"It is terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hanged." G.K. Chesterton
This is so true. I long to be able to vote for someone rather than against someone else. Got that, GOP?
