Well, I suppose childish mockery is OK if you can't think well enough to go after substantial issues. Threads like this one are really saying, "I don't really know anything about the issues in this election, but here's a photo of a bunch of kids dressed alike. Don't vote for the grandfather in this picture."

I vote for real issues, rather than childish issues. I hate this kind of crap during election time. It's just lame.
