Would you give up sex for 1 year in exchange for an Edwards win?

[antiimperialist]

Poll question: Would you give up sex for 1 year in exchange for an Edwards win?

If you knew that not having sex for the next year will guarantee a John Edwards' victory in the primaries and 2008 general elections, would you go for it?

[babylonsister]

1. Ugh. I only like Edwards. nt

[midlife_mo_Jo]

56. Yes, but ONLY with a guarantee that he could institute his reforms

so I guess that means NO!

haha

[babylonsister]

66. That's a definite 'no' from me, and that applies to all politicians.

I have my priorities. ;-)

[Speck Tater]

2. Hell yes. Been celibate 11 years already. What's another year? NT

[antiimperialist]

3. I'm afraid my girlfriend would dump me

She's not into politics, so she wouldn't care much about my cause.
Hehe.

[1corona4u]

4. I can't wait to see these answers.....

a slight glimpse into the mind of an Edwards supporter...should be enlightening.

[catnhatnh]

5. Volunteeringly???

or just as in my current lifestyle?

[Catherine Vincent]

6. How would anyone know if you gave it up or not?

[CTyankee]

71. That was what I was thinking. We could just SAY we were, and then

go ahead and have sex anyway. Well, why not? I don't think god/goddess would strike me dead or anything...

[bvar22]

75. Honor System.

Are you still Master of your domain?

[Herman Munster]

7. does that include not practicing the art of self love?

Cause I've had dry spells in the past of 1 year or longer, not of my own choosing, so no big shakes on that one. But if I couldn't well you know release some tension every now and then, I wouldn't be a very happy Herman Munster.

[ElizabethDC]

11. :) You crack me up. n/t

[antiimperialist]

20. I guess it's allowed

I should have closed that loophole in my thread title, but too many votes have been cast by now. I assume many counted on being able to practice "self-love" which is not technically sex, so yes, you can do it.

[terip64]

50. Then count me in. n/t

[ElizabethDC]

8. I have a feeling this thread is going to be entertaining. :) n/t

[Flabbergasted]

9. It's over rated anyway.

[flvegan]

10. No, but I admit it'd be better than getting fucked by Hillary for the next 4.

[babylonsister]

49. Ouch!

:D

[snowbear]

12. It depends on what the meaning of is is....

...

[annie1]

19. lol. i revert back to my original statement. lol

[robinlynne]

63. That was my exact thought...

[Ishoutandscream2]

13. Of course I would. And it's no sacrifice

I'm married with 3 kids.

[annie1]

14. for an edwards guaranteed GE win? sure. same for hil. Obama's on his own though. :D

[smokey nj]

15. Sure, but I'd have to stock up on batteries.

[zanne]

68. HAH!

But isn't that technically sex?

[cboy4]

16. You should up the anti and throw in "the contest."

Edwards would lose big.

[Vickers]

17. I'm putting this thread on Ignore.

Just in case my wife happens to be reading over my shoulder and gets inspired (sic).

:P

[snowbear]

23. Aww Vickers, you don't have to do that..

[FrenchieCat]

18. Why should I give anything up for

JOHN I've-got-24-millions-worth-of-Hedgefund-Investments-plus-20 mil-in-the-bank-and-a-giant-house-but-I-will-take-public-financing-cause I-don't-have-enough-faith-in-my-candidacy-to-self-finance-myself-and-risk-any-of-my-personal-fortune-but-I-do-really-really-care-about-all-of-you-so-much-cause-I-say-so EDWARDS



Don't think so. :eyes:

[1corona4u]

21. Oh look....

He only has 417K for his kids trust....odd,, don't ya think? Considering all of the "other" priorities he has.

On edit; how many kids does he have? Like 3?

[Truth2Tell]

22. Why don't I support Biden again.....?

Ahh right, that's why.

[1corona4u]

24. Yeah, right....

with the elf picture visible, I hardly think that's why.

31. You're right,

it's this shot with his wig off that worries me:

[1corona4u]

37. 3 things...

1. Joe is way better looking, with or without hair, than that Keebler Elf you support.
2. I'm a gardener, so I'll take the Chia head
3. If you had your head cut open twice, for major surgery, you might get some hair plugs too;

Bad hair plugs;


Biden, not so much

[FrenchieCat]

27. Well, on the one hand, he's "says" he's willing to "fight for us".....

but on the other hand, he's not willing to part with any part of his fortune, which I'm sure he enjoys.....whatsoever.....

So why should I give up sex, something I enjoy, for this man? What a creepy question!

[zalinda]

45. Apparently, once you take public financing

you can't use your own money, at least that is what I've read.

zalinda

[FrenchieCat]

81. Duh...ye-Ah.......

:eyes:

Which makes one understand that RATHER than sacrifice his fortune (it would have been a gamble...because if he were to win the primaries while self funded, he wouldn't have lost a thing), he decided that we should sacrifice a better chance of getting a Democrat in the White House (spending limits = handicap--when others are not limited).

and so now, someone wants us to sacrifice sex for the sake of putting Edwards into the most powerful office in the world. What-E-ver!

[greguganus]

48. High five! n/t

[balantz]

25. That's easy. I would do it for the rest of my life.

My kids' and grandkids' future is far more important than one more fuck!

[robinlynne]

64. Damn, you're a patriot!

[balantz]

70. I ain't gettin' it anyway

:eyes:

But I've had my share

[Libby2]

84. *snort* lmao

[Mojambo]

26. I've got 6 in the bank. More than willing to cash them in. n/t

[antiimperialist]

28. I'd love to see an age breakdown

More mature respondents seem to be more willing to give it up.

[pnorman]

41. Good point!

Getting very close to 78 over at this end. A T-shirt I had once spotted in a Seattle store window, read: "NONAGERIANS DO IT IN SOFTWARE!" I was in my sixties at the time, so I just chuckled to myself and moved on. I now wish I had gone into the store and bought it! I'd never wear it; instead I'd have it framed. (sigh!)

pnorman
PS:

[babylonsister]

67. Hey, who you callin' mature?

:D I think there's lots of people here who don't have anything to 'give up' myself.

[lisainmilo]

30. Can I vote yes for my husband too!

:rofl:

[Anouka]

33. What a strange question. Like asking people about selling souls.

I'm a 34 year old female. My answer is a very strong 'NO'. I'd give up sex to save an individual child's life, or my life, or my partner's life. But guaranteeing someone winning a U.S. election?

The 2008 US presidential election is just not that important. It's important, but not 'hunger strike' important. There are other ways to accomplish good and goals within an election. Withholding sex is not it.

[antiimperialist]

36. More people with health insurance=lives saved

Withdrawing from Iraq=lives saved.

Studies have proved that many people in this nation choose not to go to the doctor because of lack of insurance. Edwards' superb health plan would erase this problem. Choosing any of the top candidates would save lives. Plus the lives of people of nations that we bomb every time a neocon is in power.

[Anouka]

58. How is Edwards plan going to be paid for?

Also, what are the differences between Edward's plan and Obama's plan and Hillary's plan? or the second tier's plans?


How much will taxpayers be asked to contribute? How much will employers? Will preventative health care be a major part of Edward's plan? Will everyone pay the same amount regardless of pre-existing conditions?

What will happen to the real costs of health care, under this plan?

[IronLionZion]

62. sexual repression = Republicanism, diapers, child molestation, airport bathrooms, etc.

why risk it?

[elle1sf]

80. Good point!

[IronLionZion]

61. As if there's ever a reason to withhold sex

that's fundie thinking. And we all know the disastrous effects of sexual repression among the Gay Old Pedophiles (GOP).

[elle1sf]

79. It's a hypothetical question

Nobody is ever gonna really make you do this!

[yourout]

35. That would make my wife a huge Edwards supporter.

[MADem]

38. Hmmm. What an insane poll question.

It's like one of those "Bargain With God" things, where the bargainer offers to sacrifice something that only matters to THEM.

I'd wager the people answering YES aren't getting any, though--or what they are getting is so unsatisfactory they would as soon give it a miss...

[Triana]

39. That's easy. Sure...What's another year? HA! (n/t)

[Digit]

40. Hell, it has already been 10 years, so what is one more year? b/t

[jillan]

42. I wouldn't even give up sex for Biden.

[Raejeanowl]

43. After Getting Badly Screwed By Bush For Seven Years

I'm ready to join the convent.

[Hardrada]

44. Doctor's orders.

I can't give up sex. But I can put up yard signs.

[Seabiscuit]

46. I'm 62. Are you tempting me to take early "retirement"?

:)

[Perry Logan]

47. If I did, I'm afraid the sexiest woman in the world would suddenly fall in love with me.

And I'd either have to fight her off for a year or risk screwing up the election.

[robinlynne]

65. lollll!

[DemEyeDick]

51. I would have to say yes

I think John Edwards is the only candidate that has a real shot at winning and putting this country back on course. I think Dennis Kucinich could do the job as well but the media has all but shut him out. I would give up sex for 5 years if I could guarantee that an Edwards/Kucinich or Kucinich/Edwards ticket would win.

[Mass]

52. For him, definitively not.

[Adelante]

53. For an Edwards loss in the primaries, I would, so I voted No

The GE is something else again.

[Franc_Lee]

54. This post displays Edwards supporters reasoning for a caucus win...

[Girlieman]

55. If I wanted to be married, I'd be married n/t.

[Marrah_G]

57. Ummm no........

[Hatchling]

59. Hells no. But..

I'd give it up forever if it guaranteed a Kucinich victory.

[IronLionZion]

60. Are you out of your motherfucking mind?

That's reason for celebration...and therefore lots of hot sex. Celebrate life, celebrate progress, celebrate love, and have lots of sex.

[bigwillq]

69. No (nt)

[sampsonblk]

72. I wouldn't give up sex even for a GOOD candidate-nt

[LordJFT]

73. only for obama :)

[LSK]

74. the vote was at 69 to 69

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[MrSlayer]

76. I wouldn't give it up for a year for anyone.

Hell, I can't go three days. Sorry John.

[BringBigDogBack]

77. No way

...in hell.

[elle1sf]

78. So .... umm

Define sex ( I was not paying attention in the 90's)

:D

PS: I answered yes, no partner at the moment and I am hoping I get credit for the last 2 months!! :D:D

[elle1sf]

82. This is actually pretty hilarious

Someone should send it to JRE for kicks!

[crim son]

83. He's not my choice, so no.

I would, however, give up sex for a year for a Kucinich win. I think. Maybe.

[DIKB]

85. Need to resubmit this poll

if/when he gets the Democratic Nomination. The results will change drastically. That can be said for whoever gets the nod though.

[Pachamama]

86. Well, Bill Clinton said oral sex didn't count as sexual relations....

So, yes, I would give up sex for a year for Edwards.... :)

[Moochy]

87. Is Sex Magick Afoote?
