3. GeeW is more decisive
He makes a decision and sticks with it even when faced with overwhelming information that he's wrong. He has no capacity whatsoever for self-evaluation.

10. Decisively wrong
since when did thinking before acting, examining all the known facts and consequences before deciding and admitting (and learning from) mistakes become a bad thing?

15. Decisiveness is not necessarily a virtue
I would describe myself as quite decisive, but I would also describe myself as having the capacity to size up a situation, ask the right questions, and as a result come up with the best solutions. But I'm not inflexible--far from it, I try to absorb as many points of view as I can before I make my move.

The Bush Regime's brand of decisiveness has more to do with ramrodding their plans through because they know they won't stand up to political, moral, or legal scrutiny. Then they dress up Bush's refusal to listen to reason as moral "courage" or "clarity". Two-year-olds forced to sit alone at the dinner table because they won't eat their spinach have moral clarity, too!

13. I did.....

...from what I can see they're alphabetical, what am I missing? I'm all for reading between the lines, but this one's a stretch IMHO.

EDIT: I just noticed the polls on the linked page weren't as presented in the parent post here, now I'll read between the lines :)

14. For the "intelligent" and "decisive" questions...
...Bush's name was first, for the "arrogant" question Kerry's name was first. Did it display differently for you?

6. why is the rest of the media.....
saying bush is leading , when this poll shows 59%-38% in favor of Kerry? Who's lying, as if we didn't know.

20. well i dont think internet polls are an accurate represention
of the entire population, and they are not scientific. I do agree though that the polls do seem screwy. I think theres also a tendency to play up polls where Bush is leading and to play down polls where Kerry is leading.

17. It is now 50-50 on "decisive" . Others roughly the same. And think about
it. Who was the most "decisive" when it came time to pick a running mate? Bush dicked around and finally "chose" the person who was leading the search! How decisive is that? Sounds more like puppetry than decisiveness. OTOH, Kerry did a careful search and made his announcement on his own timetable and nobody doubts that it was a decision he made-not one that was made by someone else.

21. I still don't get it
Our side always romps the cons ass yet MSNBC, and CNN ALWAYS whore for the Repigs. Obviously we are the more dedicated watchers, and more active participants.
