It's funny looking but if he thinks it looks good let him be,I would'nt let his mustache stand in my way of voting for him it's the fact he declared a day “David Archuleta Day” that's what bugs me:)

“By PAUL FOY
Associated Press Writer
MURRAY, Utah — The mayor of the Salt Lake City suburb of Murray says he has little choice but to shave his nearly foot-long handlebar mustache for charity. Dan Snarr is putting the decision to a vote of residents and says his fashion statement is “getting creamed.”“

“Fashion Statement”? What about the fashion statement he's making regarding desecration of the Flag of the United States?
“The Mustache Institute — a tongue-in-check group dedicated to defending a man's right to sport a mustache against modern aversions — is demanding Snarr “recant” his shaving pledge and find another way to support the Children's Miracle Network.
“This could include shaving your head, your back or committing to not clipping your toenails for up to eight months,” the group's leaders wrote to the mayor.”
LMAO!

It would sure be easy for his wife to snip off the ends of that horrible mustache while he was sleeping.

That's not a mustache. That's two long strings of snot attached to his facial hair.
Bleh!

I was about to say, the mustache is less offensive than the flag desecration the dude is wearing.

It has to actually be a flag in the first place to be desecrated,
I think Archie should have a day to honor him. He is a great role model,
