yet another FDR/Reagan dime poll
I doubt the freepers have hit this one yet because we're still up by a big margin--go vote

Save the dime

Stop the madness!

In response to a congressional bill, USA Today is running a poll to determine whether Americans want to keep Franklin Delano Roosevelt on the dime, or replace him with Ronald Reagan.

It's just a little thing which it takes 10 seconds, but very symbolic. Voting only takes 30 seconds. Click on the link below (or paste it into your browser). And when you're finished, please pass this on to others.

6. There's almost half a million votes on this one
I doubt the freepers can do a damn thing about this one.

It looks like the Reagan dime was a trial balloon that busted not long after it took off.

10. Mark Souder needs a hobby or something.
Whoever heard of changing the design of a coin because of a made for TV movie? Are the wingnuts just a little insecure about their hero or what? Fifty years from now school children will ask their teachers why so much stuff is named after Ronald Reagan and what will they tell them? Uh - he tripled the national debt, fired the air traffic controllers, invaded Granada, bombed Libya, and joked about using nuclear weapons. Yeah, put him on the dime in place of the president that got us out of the Great Depression and led us to victory in WWII - and who also btw, inspired the March of Dimes campaign against polio - the main reason he was put on the dime. Yeah, that would make a lot of sense. Idiot.

12. This one may be unfreepable ...
although that's a fairly ironic thing to say considering the fact that I just moved to another computer and voted again.

on a new coin commemorating idiots with Alzheimers who were elected to high office by other idiots.

You obviously have never experienced Alzheimer's disease up-close with a friend or relative. I would say your post is a tad over-the-top.

15. Voted against Reagan before
and happy to do it again.

Reagan was a disgrace - a fraud wrapped in a soundbite. He isn't fit to be mentioned in the same breath as FDR.

16. If he were "on someone else's dime" that would be appropriate.
But since it would be on mine...hell no!

Jesus, how much many more tributes does this man need?
