3. What A Stupid Stupid Poll
What are we to learn from those results? What assumptions can we make about the people who answered "No"?

Were they going to vote for Bush to begin with?
Were they going to vote for Kerry to begin with?

How idiotic! --- But you can bet your last nickel that CNN whores will spin it as some sort of overwhelming support for Bush*.

4. repug rationalisation
Because I live in God's America, all criminal acts this administration allows to happen are completely justified, and thus I will still vote republican.

-rolls eyes-

5. Yes. Terribly worded push polls.
It should be
"does the prisoner flap make you more or less likely to vote for Bush?"
More
Less
no difference

Lou Dobbs' poll:

"Do you think Bush did the right thing by apologizing for the mistreatment of Iraqi prisoners?
Yes
No"

The poll should be"
"What should Bush do about the mistreatment of Iraqi prisoners?
Stay the Course
Apologize
Resign Immediately"

But that's CNN for you. Every day a new poll, tortuously worded so that nobody can actually express an opinion.

7. Geez-I was hoping it would really be a pool--like on when Rummy

11. You shouldn't have corrected it...
Thinking it was a pool was the only reason I entered the thread.

13. Wow if you are honestly
against Bush already you have to lie to beat the impression the issue does not matter at all. This is truly one of their smartest twisted questions. Someone has the old logic absurdism paradigms running on their processor.

A never lies. B always tells the truth. The average repsondee not only has no time to unwravel the conundrum but cannot beat it.

17. Talk about being ambiguous this is the dumbest question I've heard yet
Did Donald Rumsfeld put that one up?

Thank you for coming here Rummy you just one hell of a guy.

18. Yet another of their ambiguous questions..
I don't even vote in them much anymore..

a better one would have been:

Will the pictures cause you to vote AGAINST BUSH, the commamder in chief...who apparently is actually Sgt. Schultz..

19. I voted yes because it will affect my vote. I am more determined
to not only vote against the Pubs, but I will try harder to convince others not to vote for them either. This whole thing gives me more amunition!!
