No one

Seriously, if we can’t pull off a win over this line up the Progressives had better fold their tents. Excuse the mixed metaphor.

I am pretty sure by that list that Mickey Mouse would be the only one with enough clout and wherewithal to even come close to challenging Obama in 2012. Let alone just speak intelligently.

C’mon people, let’s be serious.

If you really wanted "change", it’s Ron Paul.

At least Mickey Mouse would be funny and out of that line up William Young is right. And who voted for Michelle Bachmann – that’s a joke right? You know the woman is not safe to walk the streets by herself and is certifiable right?

 

 

 From Donna F in reply to Lisa G. on June 18, 2011 at 6:54 pm. 

If our gov’t was as it should be, the way our founding fathers intended, then finding a president would be easy. Now we have to find one who will give up the power and put it back the way it was meant to be. Only Bachmann would do that.

 

 From JimmyD in reply to Donna F on June 25, 2011 at 7:59 am. 

I hope and pray you are joking…that big mouth lame brain couldn’t think her way out of a straight tunnel.

 

 From Lisa G. in reply to Donna F on June 19, 2011 at 11:47 am. 

And I have a feeling that Mickey Mouse a) doesn’t have anything in his background that would be questionable and b) is probably smarter than all the candidates combined.

 

 

 From William Young on June 17, 2011 at 11:19 pm. 

Mickey Mouse is the only one with anything resembling brains.

 

 

 From RChas on June 17, 2011 at 1:23 pm. 

Jeb Bush would be the darling of the Tea Partyers — he destroyed Florida’s educational system — substituted ‘standardized tests’ for teacher’s judgment.

Actually this was two polls in one.  In the poll between cartoon characters, Mickey Mouse beat Ron Paul.  In the poll between real candidates, Romney won.

I voted for Huntsman.  Like Romney he’s comparatively low on insaniTEA, but he’s more unknown, and his own dog won’t be campaigning against him.

For our nation’s birthday, the new poll questions what our founding fathers might think.

Congrats to Memphis Johnny for posting the 19,000th comment here at Politics Plus.  Johnny is a newcomer here.  He is a self-described Care2 refugee.  Once he arrived, he immediately installed himself as a regular, and has become a most welcome addition.  His sharp wit may be gallows humor, given his continual exposure to Tennessee Teabuggery.

Congrats to Patty for posting the 18,500th comment here at Politics Plus.  Patty is a newcomer here.  She comes to us from Care2, an activist networking site.  Once she arrived, she has jumped into our family with both feet ever since, except for a brief respite for computer downtime, and has become a most welcome addition.  She does not write a blog, but here’s a link to Patty’s Care2 profile.

Here are the results of the troop deployment abroad poll.

And here are your comments.

I would like to vote Nowhere, but I suppose there are places where we are now and need to say for a while longer…like Korea.

 

From Lisa G. on May 16, 2011 at 9:13 am. 

 

I picked Japan, Germany, and Korea for various reasons. Japan, because they have no standing army and it keeps China in check over Taiwan; Germany, because it gives us a European presence into the Middle East and that’s where we treat our wounded soldiers from Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. and Korea because those North Koreans would overrun the DMZ in a second if they thought they could get away with it and we also fight Al Queada in the Philippines, and all those various weird countries over there.

‘Nowhere’ was the overwhelming winner, but I believe many picked it as a knee-jerk reaction, without due thought.

I picked Germany and Italy, because we cannot otherwise fulfill our obligations under NATO.  I picked Japan, because I’d rather the US defend them than have them rearm.  I picked South Korea, because North Korea will invade otherwise.  I picked Texas, to safeguard the US from InsaniTEA.

The new poll is a mock Presidential election between formally announced candidates.  I also included Romney, because he will announce tomorrow.
