Who CNN says you should vote for

If people are stupid enough to vote for people based on their pictures...we need a new system.

Well, of course Rudy gets #1 spot. It's a name recognition/memory test. 1) I read ALL the names. Then I stop reading names. Then you tell me: which name do you remember the clearest? Of course most ignorant people would answer with the only name they remember (except maybe the last name that was read to them) which is Mr. Nine Eleven.

That's what got Clinton elected. I remember numerous women saying how handsome he was, even making Elvis references. Besides, it's not ONE THING that is supposed to sway the votes, it's a large number of very small things. Do you deny the physical evidence of the pictures? Are you saying you cannot see which ones appear to be smiling and which ones don't? Do you think that CNN would really have trouble finding similar pictures of all candidates with smiles on their faces? What CNN did with those pictures is no accident. Like everything else, it was a calculated move. You should learn to play Chess. You'll find some of the best moves are the ones you can hardly tell took place at all, and seemed totally irrelevant or insignificant at the time.

You said everyone you know was going to vote for Ron Paul, and if he didn't win, it was a scam

I'm telling you the names are rotated, which means lots of people are getting Ron Pauls name first, and about half are getting them before "Mr 911"

Your friends are just so confused when they hear "Rudy" even if he's somewhere in the middle and Ron Paul was first or last, that they't say "Ron Paul" after a list of names was JUST READ TO THEM?

This is your grand proof that their's a giant scam of polling institutes and voting precincts and god knows who else to make the elections "rigged"?

Again...I WOULD NEVER vote for someone based on their pictures. If people do, it's moronic.
