One I put up yesterday about Ann Coulter...which was very popular, but it got locked.

I've eliminated the combination choice, bizarrely seconds after I put the replacement...it ALREADY had 8 votes!

3. Either 1 or 3...
but I put 3.

This happened when they rose from the muck about 30 years ago.

You can smell them a mile away.

16. Oh yeah, I LOVE Ed and his "awful" movies ...
They have this wonderful, cornball, I-love-movies-so-much-I-MUST-make-them quality to them. And his dialogue is so bad it's ... GOOD!

"A fiend? I, a fiend?"
"First his wife, and then he."

LOVE IT!

20. Well I'd better not
Do any dialogue from "Glen Or Glenda" or else I'm afraid the thread might get locked :scared:

One of Woods' worst best films is this AWFUL film called "Jail Bait"...and it involves plastic surgery. It's truly appalling, but hugely enjoyable to watch.

Because it made the poll too easy...so I removed it, it WAS option number 5 and I replaced it with a more...thoughtful option.

14. Why do they do the opposite of what they say they will do?
Compassionate conservatism isn't proactive satanism!

17. Because they can.
People only go as far as you let them get away with and they have been given an awful lot of leeway.

19. Other - Because they're Afraid
Yes, thier leadership is twisted and insane but I believe that the real Republicans, Republicans like Eisenhower and Lincoln, real Republicans were so cowed by 9/11 that they just rolled over and played dead. They wanted to win and were left to defeating the only enemy they could get their hands around, us Democrats. All that insane fear should be direct at the real perpetrators of 9/11 but instead it's now aimed at a entire race of people and those who don't want them murdered. That's why I believe that finding out the truth about 9/11 is the most important thing we can do to set this country right. But if you want to know the real reason they're nuts is simply because they're afraid.

21. Viewed simplistically, there are 3 basic types of Repukes:
1) The cynical, hyper-wealthy, who believe in profit above all else;
2) Ill-informed bullies who are eager to respond to a "strict daddy," and who believe that killing anything that stands in opposition is the way to go;
2) The fearful, hyper-religious souls who believe that the GOP actually wants to further their agenda of no gays, no abortions, no public schooling, no evolution, etc.

In the end, only #1 above wins. GM is laying off thousands of workers, but the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed today at 10,871.43 -- another day of gains for the wealthy.
