Poll question: Should the rich be executed for offending our sensibilities?
It makes about as much sense as the other straw man poll.

1. Torture them first. A prolonged, anguished, unspeakable regimen
of merciless torture.

THEN execute them.

_______________

I think the Edwards-bashing is out of hand on these boards.

3. No kidding.
And I don't even particularly care for the guy. But this is just goofy.

6. Ditto. I think it speaks more about those bitching about Edward's
home than it does about him. The "left" needs to stop using people's wealth as a litmus test. If someone has succeeded in life and can afford luxeries, I say more power to them.

7. "Pet Killing of the Rich and Famous!" Tonight on FOX!
I could see an aerial helicopter chase of poor Barney. He makes a clean getaway from the White House lawn and tries to cross the Potomac, only to be blasted by the bullet spray from pursuing helicopter gunners.

10. Ok with me. Except Bush and Cheney are so out of it by now
I'm not sure WHAT would wake them up.

The polls are tanking and even the damn Republicans are turning their noses up at the surge plan.

And ol' Fitz still has a card or two to play in the big poker game.

It could be a real unpleasant year for the Bush administration comin' up.

9. Really, it would only take a couple dozen
Before the wealthy and upper middle classes would be clamouring for a better social contract for all of us.

The only way to social change is by scaring the crap out of our masters.

11. So, who do we kill first, then?
Edwards, because he should "know better"?

Or someone from the other party, because they can't know any better?

(And Agent Mike, this is all hypothetical, simply for the sake of discussion).

They've been executing the poor for offending their sensibilities for centuries.
