43. Sweet pea? Aren't we geting a little petty?

YOU posted the poll with differing options.

YOU were the first to come back at me when I answered your poll with one of the options YOU presented.

The people have, and will continue, to do something. It's called voting. THAT is my "better suggestion".

You can continue to post polls until you run out of options to offer. The ultimate poll is on November 3.

I'm "positive" - positive that a piece of paper with a bunch of signatures on it isn't going to mean diddley-squat to Chump. Remember...he doesn't even read his President's Daily Brief. He sure as hell isn't going to read a million signatures. And if he did, it would mean absolutely zero to him.

If you can't accept the answers, opinions, or results on your poll, better not to post it. A poll, by virtue of its definition, calls for differing responses. Got it?
