I selected 'NO' for every answer. I also selected 'HIGH' for importance.
It wasn't even close, Ron Paul blew everybody away with 73.91%
Second place was Kusinich at 47.84%, even he must think Pauls' elevator doesn't stop on all the floors.
That said, the only combo I could vote 'R' is if the 'D' is Hillary and the 'R' is Ron Paul.
It would make me sick to see her win but, I can't pull the lever for a Bush clone.

Voting is a civic duty but, some of us answer a higher call.
I recall one November it was raining and the wind was howling and the polls were about to close.
My wife said, "You aren't going out in this weather are you?"
As I opened the door and braced against the storm, I shouted back out to her;
"I've got to cancel out Odin's vote!"

HAH! I ain't skeered of Burt since he became kindler and gentler.
Though there was a time the mere mention of his name would give me paws.
It was as if a house was about to drop on you, in a loquacious sense.

I dared not respond or even squirm around in my seat for fear that it was a dream and (poof) it would be gone.

This the one where endorsed Hillary? I'm sorry to break this to you; but, I'm pretty sure that was a joke.

Many things can be done with executive orders but more than anything using the bully pulpit to point out their hypocrisies.
