1. The only reason I would vote for Mercer
...is to remove W from the history books as the stupidest, least lucid president of all time. Why give him any credit at all?

Are you posting this poll to ferret out idiots and trolls who would vote for anyone over Obama or do you seriously think anyone would actually prefer a(nother) rambling lunatic with the nuclear codes?

Come to think of it is the use of Obama's middle name here to distinguish him from all the other Barack Obamas who may be presidential candidates? What does the L stand for anyway? Other than loony that is......

2. Where's the option for "Happy with Obama, but would vote for Lee Mercer to prove Jeb Bush is all in
my house with disease". Cause I'd pick that option.

After all it's not the mark of a reasonable and pragmatic candidate to challenge a sitting president in a primary.

8. The presidency needed Mr. Mercer more than Mr. Mercer needed the presidency.
He has now moved onto even bigger things...He's assumed chairmanship of the real "power elite".

19. Well on account of the fact that the government killed my sex life...
My wifes sex life, and my daughter-in-laws sex life with Experimentation and Espionage Exploitation sex killing, I'm going to have to vote for all three.

21. Alright.. i'll be the first to do this.
I've been a member of DU for like 4 years. I feel like I should KNOW who Lee Mercer Jr. is, and why the "all three" choice is hysterical...

but alas, I do not. I have no idea who he is, and thus do not know anything about the all three choice. So, please.. someone explain it to me (and fellow DUers who are thinking the same way I am).

Thanks!
:hi:
