which is worse

[leftofthedial]

Poll question: which is worse

define "worse" however you like.

1. Even if we are over culling our own candidates

At least on DU, we have open discussions, not censorship. If people just let others say what they want about Edward's house, instead of trying to stifle the discussion, those threads would die out a lot faster. This STFU attitude is a big problem for me.

6. oh shut up.

Just kidding! Just kidding!

peace!

[Annces]

14. LOL

Up Yours, as the Irish say.

2. Pelosi has an airplane now???

Shit, its the end of the world!

[leftofthedial]

10. 42 people!

42!

42 people can fly on that thing!

42!


And after all, 42 is the meaning of life, the universe and everything.

3. I'm voting the house

And here's my logic:

John Edwards' house - while the one house doesn't do as much damage on its own as the one airplane probably does, it's emblematic of the type of mass consumerism that is destroying the world, and symbolic of the class war as a whole, where the rich feel entitled to use as many resources as they want and need more more more, while others do without.

Nancy Pelosi's airplane - possibly my second choice, again as a symbol of waste. A huge portion of the travel that politicians do is pure waste - dog and pony show shit that could be done through video conferencing. Same with business travel as a whole, but it's especially offensive when it's done on the tax payers dime. Why I'm paying for them to fly around in private planes while I buy budget tickets for myself (once every 5 years or so) is beyond me.

sneers and smirks aren't a legitimate issue. I'm really not concerned with how people look.

the repuke legacy of an America that is less free, less safe, less prosperous and less united than the one they seized total control of in 2000 - I don't view this entirely as a republican legacy. Seems to me they had a little help from some spineless enablers. Besides that, I can't vote for this because of the nationalistic tone of how its phrased. We're destroying another country at the moment. This might not be the time to stop and think "gee, how does this affect me?" I don't want to downplay the cost to the US - Katrina, health care, etc - there are very real concerns and people are dying here because of what we're prioritizing - but making it ONLY about the US is screwed up.

7. who cares about other countries

USA NUMBER ONE!!

or is that numero uno?

[KenHodson]

13. Dog and pony show shit

loses a lot through video conferencing, especially the pony shit part. It's a rush to quite a few of the senses!

4. Where is the "Snickers Ad" option?

We all know that the worst thing to happen in America recently is that miserable candy bar commercial. Why, oh why can't the Mar's bar folks be more sensitive and politically correct?:cry:

12. Where's my wrench?

[LeftishBrit]

5. I voted...

'the repuke legacy of an America that is less free, less safe, less prosperous and less united than the one they seized total control of in 2000'

but I might rephrase it as 'the legacy of a WORLD that is less free, less safe, less prosperous and less united' - and sadly, my own government has to share some of the blame.

[leftofthedial]

8. your government were just doing what they were told.

but you're right. the world is in much worse shape now, as it always is when conservatives rule.

[dysfunctional press]

9. what, no "snicker's ad" choice...?

i can't participate in such an obviously anti-gay poll.

11. I'm a chocophobe.
