Poll question: Do you have a popular Democrats' first or last name in your DU screenname?
Edited on Sun Jan-30-05 10:32 PM by BullGooseLoony
Or any part thereof? Or, have you ever?

Who is/was it, and why?

2. Yes -- 'Robinson Crusoe.'
People think 'Robinson Crusoe' and they think storms, they think shipwrecks, they think survival on a tropical island.

All good and well, but I have it on good authority that the man was a registered Democrat and strongly favored our platform.

As for the shipwreck, two words, people:

Karl Rove

9. Agreed. George Mitchell should be on the Supreme Court.
I think a President Kerry would have made that happen.

6. Actually, it was a buddy of mine's dad
A hard core "John Birch" society type. His nickname is Lefty. I thought it was so ironic, I wanted to reclaim the name for the American Political left. I've been on a crusade ever since.
