NOTE: This is not very important, so if you have better things to do, leave now and don't bother complaining. ;)

You have to register to vote in this poll, and give a reason as to why you support a particular candidate. You can also give a reason as to why you oppose a particular candidate.

Anyway, Huck's supporters are bumping Huck rapidly up against the current winner, Paul (currently 376 to 169). What's worse, they have all chosen to Oppose Paul, and are putting in some really obnoxious comments and graphic mods of Ron Paul (a popular one shows him with devil's horns).

I don't know what if it will necessarily accomplish anything useful, but it would be very psychologically satisfying to show up in force and demonstrate that when you mess with the bull... you get the horns. :P

If you are interested, please bump this poll and provide current totals after you vote. Also, if anyone wants to make a competing graphic, post it so we can laugh at it.

Just in case you want to see what has me so agitated, here's one of the comments, with associated graphic:

http://www.why08.org/index.php?s=candidatephoto&id=16&type=post&stype=opp

"Ron Paul is a screeching cowardly isolationist with no electability or stable foreign policy plan. His type of thinking is what killed so many lives in ww2. If you think it is cool to support Paul then you think it is cool to be a vulnerable nation. He is not a conservative, he supports abortion through states rights."

Just some neocon sleaze ball, but let's represent anyways.

Ya, I'm registered there. A bunch of uniformed ignorant waste is dumped there.
Although I do like the bobble head look.

Hey, anyone know where to get a Ron Paul bobble head? There out there but not of Ron Paul.

The site adds the horns to all candidates that get a negative rating. Relax.

If you oppose huckabee, he automatically gets horns in your post too.

No.....this is good. This is very, very good. You WANT them to attack Dr. Paul.

Have you forgotten the wise words of Ghandi?

""First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win."

The mainstream media has moved to the ridicule phase while these guys are already in the fighting phase.

This will be fun.

Thanks for that. I was seriously pissed and incredulous that they would dare throw down the gauntlet in such a manner. :)

I like that website, it's cute and a nice concept. Plus since it's one vote per account they can't accuse us of spamming it.

OMG, this is funny as hell.



Chuck Norris opposes Mike because...

"He the worst possible selection besides Hillary. I can say this because I made a commercial for him. I did it for the money....period. Yes, I like the money. Do you actually believe I support someone like him? Give me a break."

I ripped on Huckster quite badly:


samster opposes Mike because...

Mike Huckabee helped release a convicted rapist from prison, against the plea of the victim. That same rapist later raped and murdered another woman.

If that alone doesn't turn off people from Huckleberry....
