James K. Polk is UNELECTABLE!
He doesn't stand a chance against Henry Clay.

Go ahead, flame away.

2. You bastard! It's time for us to unite,
not to get stuck in petty bullshit that separates us!

Either you support my candidate, or you are a miserable, party-destroying piece of shittitude.

4. I did not.
And even when I did, it was only because I wanted to, and because I thought he was the best man. But once he lost, then I switched, and supported the man my party chose because I believe in solidarity, not individualistic whining.

GET OVER IT! Polk is the one we have to support!!

24. Are you NUTS?
Harrison was a Whig! A dead Whig, yes, but just as bad as Clay, or Calhoun, or Webster, or, God forbid, Theodore Frelinghuysen!

5. No way will I support someone who wants to start
a war of aggression. I think all he really wants is that oil in Texas. No blood for oil!

I may have to vote third party. Who are the free-soilers running this year?

23. Only Van Buren can give us both the policies we want...
And the muttonchops we so desperately need. I mean, come on, Chester Arthur's 36 years away, we can't wait that long! :P

22. Well, I heard Polk doesn't even want to be President anyway.
Which sucks, because I've read he's very efficient and also fair.
