Just curious about this. My boyfriend is a republican and a Bush supporter, and didn't like the RfV shirts at first b/c he thought they were all about Bush being evil, which he's sick of people saying. I explained to him that they were originally about the CA election, and he then thought they were funny.
Now, I'm no Bush fan at all, but I don't think he's "evil." He's a guy who definitely sticks up for what he thinks is right, it just so happens that his idea of right and mine are polar opposites, so I don't want him leading my country. So I wouldn't want a shirt declaring him evil, because I think it's silly.
I honestly wouldn't care if it were RfV or DfV or GPfV or whatever, I just like the idea of Voldemort running for office, especially in the US. (Labour Party for Voldemort, anyone?) So I'm just wondering if most people buy it for the political message, or for the absurdity, or Harry Potter, or what. I wish the poll had more than five choices.
