Poll question: Those "Please Don't Throw Me In That Briarpatch" Republicans
Once again they are trying to pick our leaders and candidates (:eyes:). So what are they up to (they always seem to be scheming).

Here are the choices:

1.) They are being honest about who they think would be the best choice for Democrats (as in honesty is the best policy).

2.) They FEAR the guys/gals they're picking, and think by snickering about how much they want them to win we'll fall for Briar Rabbit's trick, and choose the other person.

3.) They're using reverse (Please Don't Throw Me In That Briarpatch) psychology. Their reasoning is that believing they're pulling a Briar Rabbit, we'll pick the one they claim they want, when they really feared the other one.

4.) They're just clueless losers, floundering around trying to appear in control.

5.) Combination of 1 and 4

6.) Combination of 2 and 4

7.) Combination of 3 and 4

8.) None of the Above

9.) Other

1. Other, as in
Who gives a shit? I'm not gonna waste my time wading through all the possible little Reversi-mind games these sick wackos may think they're playing. Let them occupy themselves with crap like this & we'll just go on about our business, ignoring them.

2. I Think They Are Scrabbling For Any Purchase They Can Get
the GOP world is devastated by the tsunami. The GOPpers try to return to "normalcy" pre-11/7, pretending that nothing has changed, while attempting to salvage something, anything from the storm.

It is the first stage of grieving: DENIAL

Since that's where they are usually anyway, it is a good fit and feeling for them; but reality is making that shoe pinch!

3. That would be Brer or Br'er Rabbit
It is a contraction of the word Brother in Uncle Remus-speak.
