Dick "Secret Location" Cheney

Running on the heart/pacemaker that will not die, Dick Cheney's Darth Vader routine was strong enough to make him the other #1 seed. Cheney also derives power from longevity, going back to his days of working for Gerald Ford.

The money Cheney made off Halliburton while acting as vice president. The votes against Head Start and Nelson Mandela. Going against his own stance on Saddam Hussein from his days as Secretary of Defense. The man-sized safe. This is a lot of evil.

We wondered if Cheney would even make it to the event, but as we saw over the weekend on CNN, he hasn't lost a step at being clueless and evil -- even within the same sentence.

Newt "The Contract-er" Gingrich

Known for his Contract with on America, Newt Gingrich is a powerful force that will not die, even contemplating a 2012 presidential run. Don't let the #8 seed fool you: if it weren't for Gingrich, the GOP might not have taken the House, and legislation to strip down the Glass-Stegall Act might not have ever happened.

But can Gingrich handle the pressure of going up against the Evil One? After all, we saw back in 1995 that sitting in the back of Air Force One made him cranky. While Gingrich has shown instability in past battles, his lasting power and well in-demand punditry on cable news talk shows makes him a dangerous foe. Gingrich has been calling for tax cuts, long after they were chic, and his latest idea is to pay teenage girls not to have sex.

Yes, but what does the winner win?

I like your contest, Mark, but what do the contestants get out of it? Shouldn't the winner at least be given a title? How about King of the Sewer? Sounds about right to me.

Winner

Well we don't have a GOP sewer trophy, so a title will have to do: yes, king or queen of the Republican human waste political sewer.  This is going to be a hard fought tournament and such a title will be well-deserved.  We are only into our first week of play-offs.  It's clear Cheney is walloping the Newtster.

isnt there enough room in hell for both of them?

they can take my spot

An explanation of vote

My vote for Gingrich is based on the idea of not who has done the most damage to America in the past (obviously: Cheney), but who has the greater opportunity to inflict damage in the future. The EVIL ONE's deeds are known and well documented but he is past tense and though he seems unaware of the fact, has no influence anymore. Gingrich, on the other hand is still a very dangerous player that bodes ill for America.

I Agree 100%

My votes in this poll are based on who is most dangerous to the near future of this country. I've been to the prediction site, and my selections ended up with the SCOTUS four as the final winners. I eliminated the so-called "journalists" (Limbaugh, O'Reilley, Coulter, etc.) because they are unlikely to do anything more than blather over the airwaves. Meanwhile, others who are still active in politics haave a chance of putting their opinions into action. None of these are more dangerous than the SCOTUS four. Appointed for life like popes, they are capable of carrying on the failed policies of a failed administration long after that regime is gone. Anyone who doesn't consider these four "activist" judges must have been brain dead in the waning days of the year 2000. I recommend that, to be fair, vote here based on the hazard these people present for the next political generation and not on the basis of how little they are liked.
