Contest for Conservatives and Independents

October 26, 2008 06:06 PM EDT
views: 63 | rating: 6.2/10 (4 votes) | comments: 30

I want to see whose posts can acquire the lowest ratings. The person with the most views, together with the lowest ratings of any post published between today and by November 5, 2008 wins. Enter as many posts as you'd like.

 

List your article and rating in the comment section here. If the ratings go down or up since your last comment, please be sure to update.

 

I really wanted to make this a Conservative/Liberal contest, but we know the liberals will all cheat and low rate each other, even though it would kill them to do it, so I couldn't include them.

I gave you a 10. I hope that's not defeating the purpose. I promise to give you a five on your next post.
Jose' R. Oct 26, 2008, 7:07pm EDT
Bummer, you're already at 5.5 on this one with just two comments including this one.
Well, you know they hate me, so it must be the usual; they didn't read it and just saw I wrote it and rated it. My pals, the libs!

Does the issue of abortion affect how you vote?

My new corrected stats. I think I may be in the running with my latest article. Don't you think?

As for this article; I agree. I doubt they read this before rating. I aspire to your low rating appeal, LOL
ARE YOU PEOPLE CRAZY? Major Nap Alert

Here's your corrected entry, Jose.
We must have a liberal who reads here. My rating just went from a 5.5 to a 7. Don't you want to identify yourself? Not many of you read and that could make you the leader of the pack.
No, Amanda, not at all. I didn't think there was a liberal who could read, so you helped clear that up. Thanks a lot!
Jose' R. Oct 26, 2008, 7:40pm EDT
Thank you for correcting that for me. Even though the first didn't count I thought it was pretty good for a beginner. This is going to be fun!!
I hope you don't mind that one rating, Jose. I just wanted to give you a head start here. It's going to be tough to beat me, you know. I think I'll post another of my Liberal Logic is an Oxymoron articles. That should do it!
Jose' R. Oct 26, 2008, 7:47pm EDT
No I don't mind at all, Thank You. I was going to edit my article and include "Please Do Not Leave Me A Ten" but I figured that would be cheating. I agree; you'll be tough to beat as it seems you have a large anti-fan base of libs here.
You can do that, if you want to, Jose. It might be fun to see what happens. You'll probably get all 10s and lose.

Baclava, Sue!

I believe that I can take "Top Honours" quite easily. You KNOW that they hate me much more than they hate You! Oh...now, I suppose, You will charge me to "put my money where my maw is!"
Where's your entry, Mark-John? I know you're a contender!
Jose' R. Oct 26, 2008, 9:19pm EDT
I just left Mark-John's latest and it was good! I left him a one.

I am already working on my next piece
Mark-John K. Oct 26, 2008, 9:47pm EDT
Just posted one that is SURE to (dis) please, Sue!... and MANY, MANY more in the "hopper!" I'll be by with my entry when I can.
Tiffany G. Oct 26, 2008, 10:12pm EDT
Sue, this is great, and I'm in! I've got two posts coming out this week that I bet will be the winners (or, "losers" if you will ;)

If only you'd held the contest sooner -- my last post garnered a whopping 1018 views with a 6.5 rating... fairly reasonable, I guess, but next time I'm banking on hitting rock bottom!
Sue B.© The Sting IS Worse Than the Buzz Oct 26, 2008, 10:22pm EDT
I know you can do it, Tiffany!

Good luck with that, Jose!
Tiffany G. Oct 26, 2008, 10:29pm EDT
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Sue! I'll try not to let down :-)
Sue B.© The Sting IS Worse Than the Buzz Oct 26, 2008, 10:30pm EDT
:)
Mark-John K. Oct 26, 2008, 10:51pm EDT
Uh, gee Jose, THANKS!...I THINK! (laughs)
Mark-John K. Oct 26, 2008, 10:53pm EDT
O.K., Sue, HERE'S the Winner...

sophie m M. Oct 27, 2008, 7:11am EDT
Sue,

I'm in.


I just posted one. Please take a look at it. :) here
Mark-John K. Oct 27, 2008, 8:31am EDT
With ALACRITY, Tiffany~...this things careening out of CONTROL!
Mark-John K. Oct 27, 2008, 8:32am EDT
Very GOOD, Sophie! ...would you like a "1" or a "10?"
Mark-John K. Oct 27, 2008, 8:32am EDT
Come ALONG, Jose...we're WAITING!
The prize will be five 10 ratings on your articles by all the people who lose. (maybe)

Sophie, thanks. It's a wonderful article, and sure to have rating appeal for the types that can't count past one!
Tiffany G. Oct 27, 2008, 8:18pm EDT
Here's my first submission, Sue!

The Other Five Percent

You'd better believe it, Tiffany. Sophie is busy too.
Jose' R. Oct 28, 2008, 12:15am EDT
Sue
Sophie needs your assistance with a link. She is at over 300 comments and needs to start a part II to her article. She is record busting over there!
Sue B.© The Sting IS Worse Than the Buzz Oct 28, 2008, 12:18am EDT
She learned how to link.
