This is very simplistic

Thinking about the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, what is the most important lesson you think the U.S. should take from this experience?

Statement A The country needs to be prepared at all costs for a terrorist attack, and therefore should spend as much as necessary on national defense?

1. Hmmm...

Thinking about George W. Bush, what do you believe is his most significant accomplishment as president?

None of the above.

Thinking about George W. Bush, what is his most significant failure?

All of the above.

[Quahog]

3. Love your handle!

LOL!

Welcome to DU, ED!!

:hi:

[Cassandra]

6. I wish I had had those choices.

But it was the astrological question that had me laughing. There were also a few questions about cosmetics choices buried between some very serious political questions.

14. Electile Dysfunction ..has finally been tombstoned! neaner neaner neaner

thanks mods!

[cindyw]

2. I found it be very bizarre.

I hated to answer not/sure on some, but it kept asking questions where I had to say one or the other on something where for me the answer would be both. I also could not figure out what the purpose of some questions was. It was weird.

[GiovanniC]

7. I Had to Answer Not Sure/None

On the hair care and skin care product questions. I also had to answer "not sure/none" for Bush's accomplishments, although that doesn't really tell the whole story.

[Qutzupalotl]

4. So we get to say that Sept. 11th was Bush's accomplishment?

Do they realize what they're asking? ;)

[tanyev]

5. Agreed. Very strange.

I kept wondering if someone had hacked into his system for a very bizarre joke.

[Logansquare]

17. May have been "cooler" questions in order to remove previous bias

Once you start to express a strong opinion, the more your subsequent responses will only serve to reinforce that opinion. The cooler questions break that response.

8. I just completed this one this morning

And came right over to see if anyone else got it, too. Thanks for supplying so much detail. I could never remember all that you posted and didn't think to cut and paste.

This was the most comprehensive and all over the boards poll from Zogby to date. From asking my Zodiac sign to what I would fight for in terms of the nation.

I'm sure I answered consistently as I have strong views. But it might throw them that I answered yes to the Nascar fan question (well, hubby is and it's on the tv a lot and I admit to being casually fascinated) and then said I was a Moderate who is also a registered Dem.

The silliest questions were if I drank Coke or Pepsi, what cosmetic companies I liked for color and fragrance and what jewelry stores I liked. I answered None for most of those because I don't wear makeup, haven't purchased bling-bling for ages and I don't like Coke or Pepsi! And I shop at local, smallish stores - never Walmart, thank you very much!

This poll often taxed my patience as I didn't always find a choice that fit me. But I always complete them - never Refused. This was by far the most comprehensive poll.

Oh - and that question about if you like Bush as a person! Well - I don't like sadists. I'd like the ability to have the option of answering one question of my choice with a short sentence.

[Cassandra]

9. The annoying thing about the jewelry store questions...

is that I'm a jewelry designer and wear my own work, although I certainly prefer selling to small, individually owned stores.

[Kazak]

10. Most significant accomplishment?

Yep...September 11th.

[robbedvoter]

11. Unemployment is a bona fide accomplishment - for # 1

[cycleberg]

12. refused many

found it disturbing, especially the lack of more balanced options such as
-none of the above
-all of the above

or something like
-all of the above should be considered
-'sometimes'

[theshadow]

13. The questions are so stupid...

... I took another look to make sure it was really their site, and hadn't been hacked.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

15. Electile Dysfunction a poster of this thread is "tombstoned"

[loudsue]

Poor Kerry. :-(


His recent endorsements include Lyndon Larouche, a man whose greatest contribution to the human race will be his death, and Bruce Springstein, whose last endorsement, Walter Mondale in 1984, lost 49 states to St. Ronnie of Raygun.
