I thought my head was going to explode.

I could not believe it when I saw the headline. I clicked the link and was thinking, "You got to be kidding me, how the heck..." I read the first couple lines, still in shock and then just scrolled down to look at the graph without finishing. After seeing the graph, that was the best laugh I think I have had in several months.

Well played, SO. Well played.

Rick Perry is still second place in this poll? You have got to be kidding me! ATS, what is wrong with you?! There is no excuse for supporting this man, everything could want to know about him is so readily available that would make all but the most insane of people run away from him like he has the Bubonic plague.

A vote for anyone OTHER than Ron Paul is a wasted vote, IMHO

This is amazingly hilarious - Thanks SO, I needed a good laugh.

(And while I don't vote Republican - Paul's recent treatment in the media is beyond disgusting. )

the ones with the most to fear.. are going to be the most involved.

With the death of religion just around the corner... why wouldnt religious fools want geroge bush on steroids.

LOL "My faith requires me to support isreal" One of the stupidest things iver heard come out of somones mouth...

IF ron paul wins... We will divide our population. The end result is only chaos and martial law. Do you think the religious are going ot want to live in a state that denys them the ability to spout their religious delusions uncontested? Do you think their gonna want to live in a state to doesnt allow them to teach their kids that people lived with dinosaurs and hte earth is only 6000 years old... Im sure once all the parents dont vacinate their kids... their populations will start to become ill with easily preventable illnesses... it will all be blamed on teh devil and the lack of empathy and support from surrounding states at te sight of their stupidity will only create teh foundation for civil WARS between states.

Im sure that all sounds wonderfull in that stupid old mans head..

Pawn Rawl?

Who? What? Oh Ron Paul!

Yeeeeaaahhh Booyyyy!

Good joke Boss Man

Loving ATS...

that is the most magnificent bar chart I've seen in recent memory.

It has panache! It's elegant... got the 3-D thing happening... I'm truly awed.

I love Ron Paul's domestic policy.... his foreign policy is naive to the extreme.

This is from someone who's been... well. NM. Let's just say we need allies.

I think we need to close a lot of our overseas bases, but at the same time we have commitments that were made decades ago, and our word is our word.

Step 1: clean out the state department with a flamethrower. Fire EVERYONE. start from scratch.

This is why I'll never be president

EDIT: and for what it's worth, I'll never vote for Perry. And I'm a Texas boy.

I have really enjoyed reading all these comments thus far and seeing who has not actually gotten the joke yet

Stop responding to thread titles peoples...read the actual OP!!!

Thank you for the way the OP skeptic, well done, my head almost exploded from not being able to accept the presented reality.

I almost threw up in response to realizing that ATS must be a Christian crusading freak show.


That was funny, SO

LOL

To the people who voted for Perry.

Read my lips NO NEW TEXANS!!!

Ron Paul is the only Texan we need in this race.

You sure you guys arent mad because your not even listed in the poll? hahaha, I would have voted for SO and crew. Just for the sense of humor alone.

Not really surprised that two Texans won the Polls, what surprised me is that Bachmann came in third.

I almost through my computer out the window. glad i scrolled down to the chart.... you got me on that one
