Top 10 Conservatives - what do the little pictures signify??

[NoMoreRedInk]

I've tried to figure out the pattern and understand why some people have multiple pictures and why some pictures are repeated, and I just can't get it.

What do the individual pictures mean?
How do they decide how many to put there?
How do they decide which ones should repeat?

Is there a legend or guide or something?

1. I kind of just guess it

use your imagination.

2. There is a key

Each picture signifies why the person made the list.

EDIT: Key

3. Also

if you leave your mouse pointer on each picture, a little window should pop up saying what the icon stands for.
