I would happily vote for your... dictation.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

It's important to me to clarify this, for obvious reasons. I don't regard child molestation as a joking matter. No prob, I know you didn't mean it that way, just wanted to make sure no one took it otherwise. 
I'll bring the microphone.
Wait, that came out wrong.  RE: Who will you vote for?

See, that joke doesn't work since the words dictator and dictation can't really be conjoined semantically in this particular instance. /See, let me repeat myself, no matter what was meant, it can't make sense for the reason described above.
Woosh.

Quote:I would happily vote for your... action of giving orders authoritatively or categorically.. Does that make sense? Barely, it is an egregious thing stilistically, at the very least. And it sure as hell isn't what he meant to say. So one of two things happened, meaning was sacrificed on the altar of humour, or he made a mistake. Very simply put, you don't vote for an action, you vote for a state of things. You vote for a dictatorship, not a dictation. This is becoming extremely silly, people on this forum never know when to admit they're wrong. If you're going to try and be witty, take care that you know your English well enough to do it with a trace amount of grace, if nothing else. And if you're going to dismiss criticism out of hand, don't, instead make sure that you've payed enough attention to it first.
Woosh.
