Whom shall we throw under the bus as the election draws nigh?

[Der Blaue Engel]

Everyone seems to have their favorite group that should keep quiet so we can win next week. Who's yours?

[valerief]

1. SUV drivers? nt

[Der Blaue Engel]

4. No, see the idea is we want to *appeal* to the right

I think SUVs are a-okay.

[lcordero2]

2. gun-grabbers n/t

[LSK]

3. Republicans?

[XNASA]

5. Hippies.

[Der Blaue Engel]

And/or pot smokers. Darn it.

[XNASA]

14. What is it that makes you so forgetful?

I wonder.

[Der Blaue Engel]

17. Dave's not here

:D

[mike_c]

6. lol-- I'm at risk in several of your categories...

...and I'm well familiar with the underside of the democratic party bus!

[DRoseDARs]

23. Tire treadmarks make for great fashion looks. n/t

;) :P

[cali]

7. Let's not do this anymore;

it's just stupid and divisive- otherwise known as flamebait. I hope the mods shut your thread down double quick time.

[MADem]

10. I agree and vote for NONE OF THE ABOVE NT

[Der Blaue Engel]

11. Also known as satire

to point out unpleasant truths. But your mileage may vary.

[DRoseDARs]

13. How about the humorless, they're good for street pizza. n/t

:eyes:

[T Town Jake]

9. See lots of hostility towards pro-RKBA Democrats. It's not right.

(n/t)

[lpbk2713]

12. Diebold execs..... n/t

[rman]

15. none of the above

maybe Lieberman

[Der Blaue Engel]

21. Nah, he threw himself under the bus

and dared us to run over him.

[texasleo]

16. This thread

[helderheid]

20. :D

[AlCzervik]

18. republicans.

[Lex]

19. The flame-baiters?

Just a thought . . .

[bowens43]

The 'Impeachment' people.

[shadowknows69]

22. We pagans never get enough recognition

I vote pagans!!

[DRoseDARs]

28. Godless heathen! There, feel better?

;)

[shadowknows69]

29. Ah persecution

sweet sweet persecution. I almost feel as special as a christian now. Can someone declare war on one of my holidays please?

[Der Blaue Engel]

36. Halloween?

I've noticed it's been under seige for quite a while. :)

Frankly, I think Christmas is a war on Yule, but that's just me. :D

[shadowknows69]

37. there were people dancing around fir trees

long before Mary and Joseph had housing problems.

[DRoseDARs]

49. Ok then, BURN THE WITCH!!!

The smell of burning evergreens was always delightful*... :D



*When not part of a forest fire, knock on wood as it were. :scared: ;)

[jobycom]

24. Martyrs. nt

[omega minimo]

38. !

:toast:

[Der Blaue Engel]

25. I'm surprised at the reaction this poll is getting

I'm pointing out a very unpleasant thing that seems to be happening on DU, but this is called flamebait by some.

I guess if it makes you feel uncomfortable and combative to think about it, you have a reason for feeling that way.

[DRoseDARs]

27. Nurse, get these people a sense of humor, STAT! n/t

[omega minimo]

47. OTOH

You're "pointing out a very unpleasant thing that seems to be happening on DU" because "it makes you feel uncomfortable and combative to think about it, you have a reason for feeling that way."

:crazy: so confooozzing

[BrokenBeyondRepair]

26. it doesn't matter.. n/t

[TechBear_Seattle]

30. Why discriminate?

Throw them all under the bus. Anything that distracts "middle of the road" voters or makes us a target of the far, far right must be jettisoned immediately.

[DRoseDARs]

31. Why? Because if you play all your cards all at once, you lose the game. n/t

:)

[TechBear_Seattle]

33. Ah! How right you are

It is kind of like ballooning. We (I am in at least two of those categories) are the ballast: as the hot air cools and the Democratic balloon sinks, we are jettisonned one by one so that the elected officials in the gondola can glide a bit longer.

My bad. :hi:

[Individualist]

32. All of the above, of course

Don't you know that winning is the only thing that matters?
:sarcasm:

Unfortunately, winning IS all that matters to some, and they're willing to throw anyone under the bus to achieve that.

[casus belli]

34. I don't think this is productive. n/t

[Der Blaue Engel]

35. Thank you for your input

I don't think the behavior that I'm drawing attention to is productive, myself.

[omega minimo]

39. No category for "People who like Journey"

:yoiks:

[otherlander]

45. Or NASCAR fans.

:hide:

[omega minimo]

48. What?

SORRY IT'S REALLY LOUD COULDN'T HEAR YOU :hi:

[Lexingtonian]

40. Why not put up the converse poll?

The "I am a {member of an offended group}, and I think my interests and agenda should f-king trump all those of you other kinds of Democrats- after all, the Party has to be about ME ME ME and my needs or I'll just whine and refuse to vote until it is" poll.

[omega minimo]

44. Hence the "satire"

:eyes:

[Der Blaue Engel]

50. Thank you for making my point n/t

[Warpy]

41. NOTA

Conservatives who call themselves centrists.

[donco6]

42. Ha! Very funny.

I need multiple votes, tho.

[uppityperson]

43. uppitypeople
