Two days ago, as a bit of a joke and just for fun, we posted "Who Least Deserves Their Position?" as is still shown on the right sidebar.
Now we're getting a little flak from the Facebook community who are calling Liberty In America "partisan" and "foolish interns."
Luke and I are part of Liberty In America, but we are also individuals. True, we live on a bus and are literally living our jobs, but we're still allowed to have our own opinions and political views, although all five of us do firmly stand behind the five things on our commitment documents and a Constitutionally-limited federal government.
Debates happen on this bus among our team and so the debate on our poll on Facebook is no different.
I am the only registered Democrat living on this bus, and I'm about to make a t-shirt that tells the world. On the outside, does the poll seem decidedly Republican? Of course it does.
But now that you know that a Democrat posted it, what does that make you think? To me, that says that people in general are "disgusted with both parties," according to Beth Powers in our educational programs.
We chose the president, the Speaker of the House, the Senate Majority Leader and the newest Supreme Court justice, because simply, they're the ones in power, they're the ones we hear most about from people on the street and again, this poll is just for fun.
Some of our Facebook followers suggested adding George W. Bush or John McCain to the poll, but Bush is out of office and McCain is a more state-specific figure than we would have liked. We decided against adding state-specific legislators because then it's likely our voters would select someone strictly from their own state. By keeping to federal offices, it offers a better representation of how our voters are reacting to these specific officeholders.
And rest assured that had it been a few years ago, George W. Bush would be on this poll.
