The 2010 TIME “100 Most Influential People” Poll… Vote for Sarah Palin, Scott Brown, Glenn Beck, Andrew Breitbart, Nancy Pelosi
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on April 8, 2010
Conservative author and webmaster Andrew Breitbart (BigGovernment, BigHollywood, BigJournalism, Breitbart.tv) is on poll list of Time's 100
It’s that time again for Time to compile, via online votes, the 100 most influential people of the year… as Time puts it, “Cast your votes for the leaders, artists, innovators and icons who you think merit spots on this year’s list of the 100 most influential people in the world.” It’s a lengthy list from which voters rank each person’s impact/influence for the year on a scale of 1 to 100, some of whom I’ve not ever heard of, but are likely popular with the twenty-something crowd.
Click the links on the names below and rank these hand-selected folks I’ve posted as you deem fit. It looks like liberals have gone fruit-loops crazy on the Time site, trashing and low-ranking Sarah Palin — as of this morning, her numbers signifying her influential clout in the country are far lower than those of Lady Gaga, Han Han, Meghan McCain, or Prince (is he still around?), although a hefty number of votes have been logged for her — LOW ranking votes. I’m sure voting conservatives can influence a change in those numbers lickety-split.

No left-wing bias here in these Time bios… *raucous guffaw*
Age: 46
Occupation: Former governor of Alaska
Previous TIME 100 Appearances: 1The former Republican vice-presidential candidate resigned her position as Alaska’s governor to pursue public speaking, book writing and a career as a Fox News pundit, but she remains a leading voice in the party and a potential contender for the 2012 nomination for President. Her trademark antigovernment stance has meshed effectively with the burgeoning Tea Party movement, even as traditional GOP players continue to view her as an unreliable standard bearer.
Age: 50
Occupation: U.S. Senator from Massachusetts
Previous TIME 100 Appearances: 0Brown’s surprise election to the late Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat broke the Democrats’ supermajority, throwing a wrench in the Obama Administration’s plans for heath care reform. But the truck-driving, centerfold-posing pol quickly turned around and backed a bipartisan jobs bill, suggesting that a guy who campaigned as the Republicans’ 41st vote may not be a GOP darling for long.
Age: 46
Occupation: Television host
Previous TIME 100 Appearances: 0Beck commands an audience of 3 million strong for his afternoon political talk show on Fox News, on which he alternates between showing tearful concern for the fate of the country and outrage at what he sees as the threat of socialism and expanding government. Ever unpredictable, he helped drive Obama adviser Van Jones out of the Administration, and he draws viewers with a combination of emotional pyrotechnics and occasionally provocative positions.
Age: 41
Occupation: Web entrepreneur
Previous TIME 100 Appearances: 0Crude, crass and gleefully combative, Matt Drudge’s former henchman is a bête noire of liberals and one of the savviest Internet entrepreneurs around. His growing empire of websites helps set the conservative agenda online.
Barf-worthy bio for Pelosi…
Age: 70
Occupation: Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives
Previous TIME 100 Appearances: 0With a large Democratic majority, Pelosi has passed more than 200 bills, including major initiatives on jobs, health care and energy, and though most of them have been blocked in the Senate, she has established herself as one of the more effective Speakers of the House. The challenge she faces in keeping moderates and liberals together is all the more important the closer Democrats come to a tough election in the fall.
What in the heck is this idiotic photo of Pelosi from the Time poll all about? Feel free to give it a caption in the comments section.
One of the wackiest photos I've seen in a while of Nancy 'Liar of the House' Pelosi. Is she praying? Sleeping? Deactivated robot?
About the author
She’s dead.
I’m going with Beck, he has exposed the progressive movement and continues as best he is allowed to put the heat on Obama. Jim
FYI: You can vote for an unlimited number of people in the poll, one time each.
She’s doing her positive reinforcements.
“Ohmmmmmm, the American people agree with me….
Ohmmmmmm, I am the greatest speaker ever…
Ohmmmmmm, our ratings are not in the toilet….
