Poll question: Who would you rather have as President?
Should be a no-brainer, but it clearly isn't to many here from many posts I see...

11. That's because an ice pick in the ear is tax free
and a million dollars you gotta pay gift tax

8. As is typical for GD:P, we have a couple of votes for the ice pick.
I'm not going to try to diagnose that. :rofl:

2. Neither.
They are both poor choices for different reasons.

3. There's a difference?
Oh yeah, McCain's never compared his campaign to a "Hymn"...

20. I'm not a "no brainer" so I didn't vote in this shitty push poll. News to you: Admin knows who votes
And those McCain votes without a doubt came from DUbamas trying to stir shit.
Note to Admin: Tombstone the DUers who voted Mccain, please? Thank you.

26. Push poll?
How do you figure? It's an either/or question. The same two choices 300 million people will be presented in a few months (presumably).

6. But she's not going to be a candidate
Unless she pulls a Lieberman and runs as a third party.

14. So you're going to write her in then?
Because that's the only way you'll be able to vote for her in the general.

22. He might thank me more if....
Edited on Thu Feb-21-08 09:40 AM by susankh4
I voted for him. But, I've never voted for a Republican and it feels icky to me.

Obama can have my vote. *If* Hillary is his VP.

24. I hope you never ever whined about Nader
Edited on Thu Feb-21-08 09:41 AM by ButterflyBlood
(This coming from someone who would rank Nader as one of my 5 least favorite people.)

25. Nope. Not about Perot either.
I am all for third parties.

In fact I think we'd be better off if we had six or seven viable parties.

That's what real democracy looks like.

23. I just think it's a little too early for this type of poll
Should Hillary throw in the towel? Shouldn't the rest of the Democrats in the states that haven't had primaries yet have a say who the nominee is?

12. I have one good reason to support McCain.
Let me demonstrate. What two things do the following people have in common?

Mondale, Jackson, Dukakis, Tsongas, McCain*, Gore, Clark, Kerry, Richardson, Biden, Edwards and probably Clinton. I supported them all and they all lost. If I support McC now, it will insure a Dem. victory in November.

*It was "A.B.B."

15. I thought about doing that after Edwards went
My track record:

84: Primaries Hart, GE Bergland
88: Hart: Dukakis
92: Brown, Clinton
96: Clinton both
00: Bradley, Gore
04: Edwards, Kerry
08: Edwards

21. I agree. The DUbamas who voted for McCain to stir shit should be tombstoned.
I hate what the DUbamas have done to DU.
