Who CNN says you should vote for

Taxes: Election Center 2008 - CNN.com

There are pages, like the one above, that show the candidates and their positions on various issues. Look at the pictures.

J. Biden = straight on, not smiling.
H Clinton = angle shot, level head, nice smile
C Dodd = head tilted, not smiling
J Edwards = angle shot, smirking
M Gravel = angry face
D Kucinich = angle shot, mild smile
B Obama = shot from slightly below head level, nice smile
B Richardson = looks hungry, like he's going to eat the camera man

S Brownback = not smiling
J Gilmore = not smiling
R Giuliani = level shot, big smile
M Huckabee = not smiling
D Hunter = angry, shot from very low, looks imposing
J McCain = looks confused, not smiling
R Paul = head down, angry face, looks like he's beating a child
M Romney = straight on, not really smiling
T Tancredo = shot from low, head cocked, not smiling
T Thompson = imposing shot from low, looks like the Emporer telling Vader to rise.



Looks like we know two things:
who is going to get past the primaries (Mr 911, and either Billary or Osama) and who's going to win (Clinton/Obama or vise-versa).

Notice that the Democrats generally look "nicer" than their Republican counterparts. And are there even any 3rd party candidates at all? Can't find any mention of them. Guess we'll have to wait 'till after the primaries for the media to smear all of them.

Tuesday stupid.

Barak takes great photos, it's a simple fact

Hillary is given a nice picture, but she has been smiling non-stop because of attacks of her being "cold"

The rest, I don't think anyone looks bad...I mean that's how McCain looks whenever he's out doors, it's not some bad picture...

I'd say only Duncan Hunter and Ron Paul have "bad pictures" but it's not like the latter takes the best pictures

You don't think the Communist News Network could muster up smiling pictures of everyone, instead of just their favorites for the fake election?

The first one is a good shot. The one on CNN's website is a bad fucking photo. Even for RP.

i think the complaint isnt so much about him looking "unattractive" as it is about him looking angry and/or crazy (in comparison with the photos of the other candidates).

Joe Biden is typically not that photo friendly.

He usually has some pissed look on his face with his finger in the air, and if his hair was fixed up properly could rival that of Doc Brown in back to the future.

On closer inspection, she looks a little like "guh hey!" and those teeth look a little disgustingly yellowish/hinting green

No, I meant close in on his face in the same way the rest of the pictures on CNN's site are.

I'm not just talking about Ron Paul, here, but about all of them. You already can tell the media has been playing favorites by lusting over Hillary and Barak, and that the most popular one for them to talk about on the (R) side is Guliani. This only gives further credence to who they have decided is going to make it through the primaries and win the election. They have picked, and they're going to drill THEIR images THEY choose into as many sheep heads as will midlessly allow it.

And yes, fake election. When everyone you know votes for Ron Paul, and he doesn't win the primaries, you'll know it was rigged. And when more than half the people you know vote for Guliani, yet Obama/Hillary gets to be president, you'll know it was rigged. We haven't had a say in the matter since probably before I was voting.

Are all the dozens of indepedent polling companies in on it too? Why don't you start a polling company and you can get tons of "hush money" to make up numbers

You know as well as I do that the polling companies can't ask a straightforward question and then give out polling results in a straightforward answer.

Question: "do you think Ron Paul has a better shot at the Presidency than Guiliani, dispite his racist remarks in 1992?"

Interpretation of poll results: "Ron Paul not popular among likely voters, according to recent poll"

My grandpa has said for years that television is just as guilty as lobbyists for ruining our political system.

Gallup Poll. July 12-15, 2007. N=417 Republicans and Republican leaners nationwide. MoE ± 5.

"Next, I'm going to read a list of people who may be running in the Republican primary for president in the next election. After I read all the names, please tell me which of those candidates you would be most likely to support for the Republican nomination for president in the year 2008, or if you would support someone else. . . ." Names rotated. Rice was included in the list of candidates in 2006.

Doesn't really sound like a scam to me...but ok...
