Health Care Caption Contest – Time to Vote

Healthcare Bill Caption Contest Cartoon

The entries are in and the top five have been chosen. This was a very scientific method that involved algorithms, spreadsheets and asking my wife which she liked best. I had to reword some due to size limitations but the nominees are Carlo, Dave, Tony, Friggin Loon, and Roland. Good luck and start the voting. I’ll announce the winner on Friday.

      Apples are good, vote for the apples one

        So you vote for someone else but plead for votes for your own choice. That is why you are in second. You better drum up support on your blog to get more votes.

          In fairness to the freedom of voters I will just let the voters decide without influence. I would never make a good politician would I???

            no…but a noble one. Rare.

    I love your scientific method, Bearman. If only more men would use it…

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Isn’t it funny that women say they want a man with a backbone unless they really want something. I think I’ll have to twitter that. haha

      1. Bo Lumpkin Avatar

        My wife always wants me to stand up and speak up… unless she is the one I have a disagreement with. Great method of choosing and I think it probably worked. Those are some good choices.

    I just voted. I like the way you did it. This should be fun.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I am more democratic than the politicians.

      1. Corve DaCosta Avatar

        and my choice is leading. lol

        1. Bearman Avatar

          Uh oh..then I better stuff the ballot.

    1. FJ Avatar

      Some politician you would make Dave!! [I Voted]

      1. Bearman Avatar

        Really Dave. Who doesn’t vote for themself??

  7. Tony Avatar

    I played fair & voted for someone else’s which I liked better than mine anyway.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Fair, Fair!!! This is political War!!

      1. Bo Lumpkin Avatar

        What kind of fans do you have? They would never last a day in Gatorhead politics.

        1. Bearman Avatar

          I know…all very cordial.

      2. Tony Avatar

        Drats… the last one which I voted for is gaining popularity, damn my good sportsmanship, damn it to hell!!!

  8. SpilledInkGuy Avatar

    See … now why did everyone have to go and be so clever?! I’d be pretty darn irritated if those entries weren’t so entertaining! 🙂

    1. Bearman Avatar

      You were clever. My wife just didn’t realize how clever you were.

      1. SpilledInkGuy Avatar

        Can I officially put in a request for your wife’s help in writing my submission for your next contest, Bearman? A little insider info should help my chances considerably (and I’m not above that sort of thing, you know)! 🙂

        1. Bearman Avatar

          She wants to know how much money you have.

          1. SpilledInkGuy Avatar

            Ahhh … wallet check …

            lint (several clumps)
            coupon for free Redbox movie rental (expired)
            random piece of string (one)

            What will that get me?! 🙂

          2. Bearman Avatar

            A very forgiving wife it seems.

    how dare u not pick mine, soo much better than loons! 😛

    but i voted, wouldve done a donkey vote if i could have!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      She had to read yours more than once to get it..haha

      1. susispice Avatar

        so u based it on easiest read rather than intellect and wit!? hmmf! others obviously dont appreciate my greatness

        1. Bearman Avatar

          Not me. I understood the greatness of your wit the first time I read it.

        2. lynn Avatar

          ..he should have told you his wife was a slow reader. i smell a conspiracy.

          1. Bearman Avatar

            She IS a slow reader. On vacation I can get through 4 books and she might make it through 1.

          2. lynn Avatar

            awe man, say it isnt so…bearman goes on vacation and reads? well i go on vacation to do anything but read.

          3. Bearman Avatar

            When not on vacation I tend to read non fiction and bloggy stuff. On Vacation I read fiction.

  10. Carlo Avatar

    Oh my! I didn’t even know I was a finalist! Been so out of it… :S
    If there was a trend for which one a finalist would vote for, I bet I’d be in the bulk of the curve! 😉

    1. Bearman Avatar

      So you think you can “pick a winner”?

      1. susispice Avatar

        RIGGED RIGGED!!!!

  11. Roland Avatar

    Whew, didn’t think mine would make it to the finals with some of the gems I read.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Now you better get me your metal jaw 125×125 banner just in case you win.

  12. George Avatar

    Hahaha! Pretty good choices on here. I also love your polling system. I may need to kick PollDaddy to the curb and check Sodahead out.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I like poll daddy better but I have to sign out my first born to get on it.

  13. susispice Avatar

    1. Bearman Avatar

  14. Bo Lumpkin Avatar

    Is the voting closed and can we only vote once. Where I am from we usually vote early and often?

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Voting is open until Thursday. I’ll announce winner on Friday. And you can only vote once ballot stuffer. Unless you go to another computer.

      1. susispice Avatar

        hURRRYYY yyyuuuupppp

  15. Nate Fakes Avatar

    You know, I never did come up with any clever caption of my own for this. I thought about it for awhile and nothing came to my head (sigh). Put a caption contest of a picture of a monkey throwing poo at a clown, and I’ve got some comedy gold!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      And the caption would be what???

  16. susispice Avatar

    alright i signed up to gravatar.com it was so easy!
    but im not sure if did it right so here goes…

    1. susispice Avatar

      dammit!

      1. susispice Avatar

        ok soooo i wonder if this worked..

        1. susispice Avatar

          arrrgh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is not working!

          1. Bearman Avatar

            Unless you signed up with a green sun…bwahahah

    I still want to know whatever happened to the Paperwork Reduction Act. How many different versions of that bill were printed up? Seems like tons of wasted paper.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I love how companies do that. They email you to save paper but don’t trust that you read it so they send you a copy anyway.

      1. Roland Avatar

        it isn’t just companies… The Navy seems to do that… we were told that we were going to be a “paperless Navy” only to still print out and then double document the work electronically. Then print out extra paper to document that it was both documented electronically and paper record!
