It's amazing how these poor ignorant people support the killing in this war that everyone knows WE WERE LIED TO. Can you imagine the hissy fits these bu$h supporters would be throwing had it been Clinton that had gotten us into war based on a pack of lies? Remember how they went nuts over Clinton lying about his SEX life? Geesus,what has happened to these people to be so unbalanced? I wish I could understand their way of thinking,but it's impossible. It doesn't make any sense.

9. I like how slanted the question is... |
|
It has two negatives referring to us. Do you agree someone who's "anti" and "protesting" or someone who is "supportive." They should have phrased it:
"Pro-peace supporters"
vs.
"Anti-peace fascists"

Bush vs anti-war protestors instead of Bush vs Cindy, shows AOL's own bias very clearly. But those numbers are probably more or less correct. They show a nation deeply and almost evenly divided (by the Great Uniter!). That's something the Rove noise machine would give their eye-teeth to conceal. Had it NOT been for Cindy's initial and Quixotic efforts, the nation have never known. GO Cindy, GO!
I believe she had spent her first night or so, sleeping alongside a ditch, and (reportedly) without even a flashlight, and with very few fellow protestors. It might be a good idea to establish a detailed and reliable narration of the first several days or so.

AOL is freeper-ville!
What's the point in trying to save the damn polls.
They spy over here to get the polls to begin with, and just freep them again.
Maybe Chimp was right about one thing in his entire presidency. Fuck polls!
I'll go put my 2 cents in and vote it up for ya but I don't hold any hope that it's a fair poll.
to prove my point. less then an hour ago 195,998 votes now it's 217,073
21,075 votes in less then an hour? someone is clearing out their cache

36. Yup, it's framed in order to make peace lose, and it's probably also |
|
just crap. (They're tweaking the numbers behind the scenes.)
Real polls: 58% of the American people opposed the Iraq war BEFORE the invasion. Feb. '03. I'll never forget that stat. Before all the lies were exposed; before the full horror and costs of it were known. Across the board in all polls. 58%!
Americans didn't trust Bush even THEN. And now it's pushing SEVENTY-PERCENT!
58% in any general poll is impressive. It is accurate to say that the great majority of Americans opposed this war FROM THE BEGINNING. And now it's an overwhelming majority of Americans.
I've followed the issue polls for over a year, and they tell an amazing story. The great majority of Americans oppose every major Bush policy, foreign and domestic, way up in the 60% to 70% range. You name it. The Iraq war. Torture policy. Social Security. The deficit. Women's rights. Bush has only rightwing minority support. And the only stat that is out of sync with the great majority is the official election returns, which were tabulated by two rightwing corporations (Diebold and ES&S) using SECRET, PROPRIETARY programming code.
Hm-m-m-m. Makes you wonder.

AOL must have hired the rightwing PR firm organizing the pro-war anti-Cindy propaganda.

42. Same as when I took it early this am as well... |
|
We've used AOL (BYOA) for more then a decade and I can't remember ever seeing the percents remain so stationary before.
I will also add that years ago AOL did a poll of it's members and back then it heavily leaned Republican... just a guess but from what I've seen tooling around the boards there recently I'd say it still does although perhaps not quite so much.
