Poll question: What is your asking price to say something nice about Bush & his policies?
I was just hearing today on the radio, how people get turned away at these Bush town hall social security meetings for having a different point of view. It just reminded me that the people at these town hall meetings are probably paid shills like Armstrong Williams et al. Then I was thinking about the line "Everyone has a price? What's yours?". So, I am making a poll out of it.

What is your asking price to say something nice about Bush & his policies, including his social security plan?

1. Yeah, I'd do it for a price:
I'd do it if a loaded gun were being held to my head.

2. I'll do it for no MONEY, if they all resign and promise never to vie for
public office ever again and pay every penny they've made back that they've "earned" since December 12, 2000 and restore the Treasury do it's condition as of that same date.

3. What would it cost to exile Bush
and all his political co-conspirators to St. Helena for the rest of his life?

23. Bush can have his own little country
Let's exile AWOL wonderboy (and I DO mean boy) Bush to the Bush Brothers Banana Republic, also known as Crawford, Texas. He can play with his farm animals and pretend that he is invading Iraq, over and over again.

6. If I could somehow make myself
somehow TOTALLY lack credibility while saying it, I'd do it for DAMN cheap and donate most of the cash to progressive causes.

Like if I got to dress up like a total floozy and slur all my words.

"I thing thish soshul shecurity plan is jusht terrific, and I wanna shay that Mishter president, you're jusht doin a terrific job, and you're jusht a great ammurican man... aww, thanksh Mishter. You wanna go getta DRINK later? Well you're jusht a terrific man."

10. "He'sh shmart. Not like errybody says."
The backhanded compliment.

Then inform everybody you have a story about how charming he is, and use one of the examples of rubbing heads or giving idiot nicknames.

7. I'll take their money,
privately record the "deal", and then sell the tape to the highest bidder that's not pro-Bush. I figure me and mine will be short of funds by the time it takes to recover from the mess that Jackass leaves behind.

8. I won't need payment. What I WILL need
are policies that address the needs of this country and its people, not just a tiny number of rich assholes.

18. My asking price is that Bush and all his cronies step resign their post
immediately and deliver themselves in shackles ti the international war tribunal! I will then be willing to say they "did what was best for the country and the international community." Is that nice enough?

22. I hate Bunnypants Bush, but for one million bucks.....
For a million bucks I would say something nice about Bush. Then I'd invest in a radio station and begin airing Air America. And I would trash Bush and the republicans 24 hours a day.
