Mike
Pence wins straw poll
He passes for 'normal' in today's climate
Teabagging Rethugs chose the No. 3
Thug in the House, Mike Pence, as their top choice
for president for 2012 in a straw poll on Saturday.
The nonbinding opinion vote among 723 social conservatives attending
what organizers called the
"Values Voters Summit" put Mike Huckabee in second place 012, with 22
percent to Pence's 24 percent.
Alaska's Publicity Whore Sarah Palin placed fifth, with 7 percent of
the vote. Mitt Romney placed third,
with 13 percent and nutbag Newt Gingrich placed fourth, with 10 percent.
Pence, who has championed anti-abortion legislation, also was the straw
poll's top pick for vice president.
So the convention's organizer, the Family Handjob Council, declared
Palin the vice presidential winner,
as she garnered the second highest number of votes for that position.
"What a dream ticket -- Mike Pence and Sarah Palin. That would give the
liberals heartburn,"
said Tony Perkins, the Family Handjob Council's president.
Really?
You guy pick your leaders by deciding which of them make the sane more
angry?
Have you ever tried going with brains, or competence?
