1. Which person would I "follow out?' or "help out"?????
Edited on Tue Aug-05-08 01:43 PM by hlthe2b
I wouldn't follow any of them. (And only that deep-seated Midwestern/Western sense of conscience would have me "helping" any of them out, but I suppose I would--who ever is smallest (hey, I can be practical, right?)

2. Rove of course
Edited on Tue Aug-05-08 01:45 PM by sui generis
cheney has an oxygen bottle strapped to his ass, GWB has trouble with pretzels and tricycles, Nixon is probably not averse to cremation.

Rove is the only one who is truly ruthless enough to shoot the other four and pile their slimy carcasses into a firebreak if it means saving his own sallow sorry ass. I'm just not letting him get behind me at all in case I need to add his carcass to the pile.

4. Actually, I'd put my money on Cheney if it came to that....
Ruthless is his first, middle and last real name....

5. What if I could just take them all with me?
As long as I'm not sharing the same corner of hell with them.

6. Any of them
I choose to remain human even in the face of evil.

But I realize others might have different opinions.

7. Cheney. He probably set the fire and I'm not letting him avoid going to jail. n/t

9. where is none of the above button?
And how exactly is helping one of these criminals going to save MY life? I'd happily crawl up the back of any one of them, and kick them back into the flames. :evilgrin:

11. Just curious..
Edited on Tue Aug-05-08 01:54 PM by tannybogus
A "none of the above" would end up out of sight. Way too easy an out.

12. Nixon. He's the obvious choice, since he's already dead and can do no further harm to the USA. nm

15. I've been saying it for over 40 years now
Nixon's the one!

(I was a Nixon supporter in 1968 and 1972, before I was old enough to vote.)

16. Reminds me of a joke.
Bush, Cheney and Rummy are flying and the plane crashes into the sea. They wash ashore on an uninhabited island. Plenty of water, but absolutely no food.

After about 3 days, they start eying each other hungrily.

Who survives?


Wait for it...


We do.

17. If any of those people
were in a burning building, I'd go have lunch.

Maybe I misunderinterpreted the question?

18. I would help any one of them out.
And worry about political stuff later. I am a human being not some kind of monster that would let anyone burn to death. If they were all there and I could only pick one I guess it would be Nixon.
