DU this Fox News poll, please

[moggie12]

Found this little gem of a poll on Fox's website:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,77925,00.html

If you had control of the purse strings, where would you cut spending?

Military
Social Security
ReformHealthcare
Homeland Security
Kill Tax Cuts

Out of 2,700 votes, "Reforming Healthcare" is leading with 38% of the votes while "Kill Tax Cuts" has a rather surprising second place showing, with 30%. Social Security comes in third, with 19 percent.

Thanks, I like to watch the Fox guys squirm.

The White House will project that this year's federal deficit will hit $427 billion, a senior administration official said, a record partly driven by wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Read the story.

“The first thing I would do is kick Bush out of there and make him pay America back for his lies and driving the deficit to record proportions. It amazing that he has duped the American people again. Makes you wonder there should be an IQ requirement to vote (and to be elected).” — Karen (Mobile, AL)

7. Healthcare leading??????!!!!!!!!!! Figures

[against all enemies]

8. Cut Health Care - 37%. The Number one answer. Fox viewers suck.

I wish they would all get aids. They deserve it. F them. Isn't "The Passion of the Christ", their favorite movie? What would Jesus cut? Health care, of course.

[zann725]

30. But they DON'T want to cut Social Security?! I didn't give them that much

credit...to think so independently about an issue so heavy-handedly promoted by the Admin. and Fox. There's still hope!

[dhinojosa]

to right wing commentators?

[RobertSeattle]

14. Are the #'s changing???

Kill Tax Cuts had 896 5 minutes ago and still does.

[blonndee]

16. Not changing. I voted after your post and it's still 896 even after mine.

[RobertSeattle]

18. Finally changed to (32%) 941

I'll give Faux Snooze the benefit of the doubt and perhaps they only update the display every 10 minutes or so - I beleive some CNN and MSNBC polls are like that.

22. Can somebody do the poll? - want see what latest tally is

I'm compulsive I know, but I want to see if "Kill The Taxs Cuts" is catching up (I hate those damn tax cuts).

[JoMama49]

23. Healthcare 36%? What gives?

[moggie12]

26. They cleverly worded it "Reforming Healthcare"

So all the Fox fans are voting for that -- "kill the tax cuts" was a very close second when I first saw the poll (which surprised me, given it is Fox fans who are voting). Apparently the viewers are not as dumb as the people who work on the station.

[il_lilac]

24. done n/t

[DemDogs]

25. Voted "Kill tax cuts" - close 2d

to wiping out health care, the Fox listeners' favorite

[question everything]

27. Cut healthcare 35%?? At least kill tax cuts is #2: 33% n/t

[moggie12]

28. I think it actually says "reform healthcare"

Which is a tricky way of getting people to pick that one. I'm amazed "kill tax cuts in such a close second, given that it's Fox listeners who are voting!

[McCamy Taylor]

29. Done. How can Health Care Spending lead Kill Tax Cuts?

Do people who watch Fox think yachts are more important than check ups?
