OK, DU this CNN poll right off the bat. No votes counted yet.

[Dr.Phool]

Do you believe the Dem's wuss factor is real?

Poll at the usual bottom, right -hand side.

[K8-EEE]

1. Insulting Goddamned Question

I believe the GOP "stupid and corrupt" factor is real...

[bigwillq]

2. Done

Well I tried. Still says 0/0

[wtmusic]

3. Next up: Do you believe CNN pushpolling is due to a partisan agenda?

Americans want to know.

[wtmusic]

18. Let them know this is bullshit:

http://www.cnn.com/feedback/forms/form1.html?41

[Mrs. Overall]

27. Thanks. Just sent them an email. n/t

[babylonsister]

37. Done and thanks. I feel better letting them know we're on to their

'agenda'.

[w8liftinglady]

55. My email

There are a record number of Veterans running for Congress this year-is it any coincidence that the majority are Democrats?Your partisan siding with Candy Crowley and her ilk is another reason I DO NOT watch CNN -except for Lou Dobbs.Maybe,as your ratings slide with your Republican cohorts,you will see the light,albeit too late.Ask your Republican coward candidates which of them would lay their life down for this country....starting with the President and Vice-President.
By the way,your poll is flawed,and only selectively chooses "no" options.I'll be forwarding this to Keith Olbermann.

[wtmusic]

61. Love it

I also couldn't resist mentioning Olbermann, and how MSNBC is replacing CNN as "the credible news source" :thumbsup:

[w8liftinglady]

65. lol...like minds...

[femrap]

77. Thank you so much for that link....

I got rid of some frustration that had been bothering me about CNN.

Here's what I wrote:

Your poll today asking if the Dems have a 'wuss factor' is insulting to all women. Obviously you're too stupid to realize that this word, wuss, is the combination of pussy and woman. Is this how you like your mother regarded? Your wife? How about your daughter.

This macho culture that has arisen with the Bush regime is a sickness. Our society is now to praise death, killing and destruction?

Go Cheney yourselves....all of you. CNN stands for Certified Neanderthal Nitwits. Thankfully I can watch Free Speech TV and Link TV. I tell everyone to dump cable TV so they can watch REAL NEWS. CNN is nothing more than a Bush sperm eater.

[w8liftinglady]

81. Kicking again...expose their BS

[madokie]

4. Do you believe the Democrats' 'wuss factor' is real? wtf is this shit

[buddysmellgood]

39. NO SHIT! I'm not answering that bullshit question. They deserve a email

onslaught. That is just horseshit.

[liberal N proud]

5. What the hell are they trying to say?

That is about the stupidest poll as I have ever seen.
:wtf:

[independentdude]

6. I attempted

but the vote remains at 0/0.... ?????

Maybe they do not accept "NO" votes. Maybe Katie Couric is running it!

[originalpckelly]

8. I did try to vote the other way to check it, no yes votes either...

EEEK!!!

[originalpckelly]

7. How would you feel if President Bush ate little children for dinner?

????

Now that is push polling.

How would you feel if President Bush said we couldn't win the war on terror?

[90-percent]

11. do you believe

Do you believe that the majority of Democratic Politicians are child pornographers that just haven't been caught yet?

-85% Jimmy

[Danascot]

46. Bush DID say the US couldn't win the war on terror

... so that would be a yes.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/08/31/politics/main639709.shtml

[Julius Civitatus]

9. "Do you believe Rep's molestation factor is an issue?"

CNN's question is insulting, degrading, and possibly straight from GOP headquarters.

How about replacing that one with the question I typed above? Fair game, isn't it?

[proudlibal]

10. Done

[wryter2000]

53. Welcome to DU

:hi:

[Double T]

12. Dem 'wuss factor' is another rethug neocon marketing slogan.........

The REAL 'wusses' are the two chicken-hawks running the WH; specially the ONE that struts around with HIS chest puffed up yelling "Stay the Course!!".

[spanone]

13. Fuck You CNN.

[undeterred]

14. I don't believe the poll is real.

[donco6]

72. Yes it is.

I saw it earlier.

[Warren DeMontague]

15. What a bullshit question. And it looks like the poll numbers are another

CNN special. No votes seem to be getting tallied. Give it an hour, and they'll show 6,000 "yes" and Zero "no". :eyes:

[Greyhound]

16. Poll is not working, same thing happened last week.

:shrug:

[spanone]

17. Maybe there is a God and he's pissed?

[Julius Civitatus]

21. No. They don't care about the poll: it's about getting the MESSAGE out

This is a GOP talking point. They don't give a fuck about the poll or its results, but getting the message out.

[Norquist Nemesis]

19. CNN feedback time!

54. You know

Normally, I don't like commenting on someone's physical appearance, but in this case GO FOR IT!

[longship]

60. Candy eats too much candy

There. I said it. Bad me. :spank:

[Lautremont]

24. I voted no, of course,

but sometimes the "wuss factor" in some Democrats is hard to deny. Nevertheless, a stupid question for a poll.

[april]

25. JUST SENT THEM A EMAIL what in the hell is this about?

[originalpckelly]

26. See post 22, it is for a fucking CANDY CROWLEY story. (nt)

[stillcool]

28. done...and sent along my sentiment...

Hi. I've not watched your programming since before the last election. I read different articles on line. I had thought the blatant distortion and amateurish of the content you provide, would be less inflammatory if it were read...rather than heard in the condescending voices of your 'reporters'. I was wrong. Remember Julius Streicher.

[puerco-bellies]

I'm sure they won't comply. Jerks.

[greeneyedboy]

50. appalling.

i just told them how appalled i am that they are parroting GOP talking points in a push-poll on their home page, especially two weeks before election day. see the previous post for the feedback form URL.

[mnhtnbb]

49. Sent them an e-mail and here's what I said

Surely you can find a more appropriate quickvote question. Here are a couple of suggestions:

Are all Republicans pathological liars like their esteemed Bushieboy?

Is it true that CNN journalists are nothing more than media whores?

[NoAmericanTaliban]

52. It is preceived as real by a lot of voters

Here is the article:

http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/10/24/crowley/index.ht...

It is part of the Broken Government series.

I don't agree that Dems are wusses , but that is played up by the Repukes. How else do you explain that a bunch of chickenhawks are considered patriotic while real war heroes like Murtha & Cleland are seen as soft. In the business environment perception is king. How people view you - the product - is often more important than the quality or substance of the product. The Repukes are very good at playing the Wuss card & this article goes into ways the Dems can overcome that. In many ways we are still fighting the culture wars of the sixties. A lot of Repukes believe that we would have won the Vietnam war is it wasn't for the anti-war movement and therefore anyone associated with that movement is considered a traitor. Of course the reality is that Vietnam was lost to begin with just like Iraq is now, but we are dealing with a bunch of folks who consider admitting mistakes a weakness.

[Coexist]

57. done.

[LSK]

58. WTF kinda poll is that???

[Critters2]

59. Do you believe Bush flip-flopped on "stay the course"? nt

[bdamomma]

62. done these stupid polls have nothing else better to do to divide

people even more.

[verse18]

63. Here's my feedback.

I find the CNN.com QuickVote offensive and insulting to anyone who votes Democratic. I am astounded that CNN.com would see fit to use a cleary Republican talking point as a poll question. Maybe CNN and the rest of mainstream media should allow Democrats to have "equal" time on their news programs and your viewers could actually see that this so-called "wuss factor" is a complete fabrication. I have a better push poll question for you: Do you believe the water-carrying CNN and mainstream media have done for the weak-kneed, chicken-hawk, AWOL Bush Administraion is real?

[NoAmericanTaliban]

67. Good feedback. Also ask them what kind of tp they use to wipe * ass with

[w8liftinglady]

64. kick-flood their email!

[dalaigh lllama]

70. My reply

Here's the site for feedback on Quickvote:

http://www.cnn.com/feedback/forms/form1.html?41

Democrats' "wuss" factor? Dems aren't the ones who vote for baseless wars, out-of-sight deficits, and loss of civil liberties because they're cowering in fear from "sumpin's gonna happen and we're all gonna die if you vote for Dems!" It's the folks voting for Republicans that are the "wusses." But then, they seem to be mired in projection issues -- closet gays bashing gays, and all that -- so wusses accusing others of wussiness is just par for the course.

[pacalo]

71. Send them your thoughts about that childish question:

http://www.cnn.com/

Re: CNN's "Quick Vote" Question, 10/24/06

"Do you believe the Democrats' 'wuss factor' is real?"

Does CNN aspire to be a professional news organization, or does it care that questions like this make it seem to reflect the mindset of third graders?

[w8liftinglady]

74. 3 members of my family emailed them..stating(in different ways)

1.the obvious partisan nature of said article/poll
2.the cowardice of the republicans in power
3.the desire to change networks and boycott CNN(stating Olbermann/Msnbc as the logical choice)

I DID say I would TIVO Lou Dobbs,since I do enjoy his program,for the most part.

[orleans]

75. 53% say no; 47% say yes

stupid question.

why don't they do a follow-up:

DO YOU BELIEVE THE REPUBLICAN'S PSYCHO FACTOR IS REAL?

[citizen snips]

76. done

[huskerlaw]

78. What the hell is the "dem wuss factor"?

No, seriously...what the fuck are they talking about?

[elehhhhna]

79. My email. First I clicked on "my comment is POSITIVE" and...

"I'm POSITIVE you are running a PUSH POLL on your website. Wuss factor? Hell! Y'all are obviously much more afraid of the Bush Administration than WE are."

[w8liftinglady]

80. hehe...good one!

[Clark2008]

82. I'm getting a poll about Elvis Presley and Kurt Cobain.

:shrug:

Seriously - it's an even more inane question than the Dem Wuss one. If that's possible.

[w8liftinglady]

83. I guess our emails were effective..to a degree...

the story is still there,of course
http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/10/24/crowley/index.html

[elehhhhna]

84. omg! Did Courtney Love have Elvis killed, too?

[drm604]

87. Same here.

Surely that's not what everyone's so upset about? Was there a different question before?

[Rocknrule]

85. Liberal media my ass

[Vidar]

86. I don't vote against democrats so I won't vote on this poll.

However, considering the number of times the dems left Feingold standing alone and Pelosi's headlong flight from impeachment, "wuss" is a mild term for their behavior.

[MGD]

88. Republican pussys are the ones getting our collective American asses kicked

in Iraq. Clinton won his war in a couple of months. What the fuck is the problem with the Republicans? Talk about "wusses".
