Take Bill Maher polls. Did Bush Lie

http://www.hbo.com/billmaher/?ntrack_para1=leftnav_category0_show8

REAL TIME POLL


Take our Real Time Poll and see if you are in the minority or the majority!

Do you think President Bush knew he was relying on questionable intelligence when he declared Iraq attempted to buy uranium in Africa during his January State of the Union speech justifying the US invasion of Iraq?

No, it was an honest mistake. 0%
Yes, but who cares. 91%
The intelligence was correct...it's all part of a vast left-wing conspiracy. 9%

1. In a land of poorly written, self-serving polls
that was one of the worst I have ever seen. So I did not partake.

2. Notice the way the three choices are worded, they all offer....
...Bush a way out. There is no choice for "Yes, and he should be impeached for lieing too".

4. The wording is completely slanted to the Reich, I mean right
WTF??
No, it was an honest mistake. 0%
Yes, but who cares. 91%
The intelligence was correct...it's all part of a vast left-wing conspiracy. 9%

YES BUT WHO CARES??? I F***ing do. The troops that are dying over there every day do. But gee a war is just a "video game" - entertainment for us fat lazy Americans.

"liberal" media my ass and this poll's wording proves it.

6. Hey, none of these answers reflect
that * should be held accountable. If you answer "Yes, but who cares", it's as bad as answering the other two.

If this is a joke poll, than "Yes, who cares" should be the last answer and fits the roll as a punchline.

My suggestion, write to Bill Maher and tell him to put an answer up there that actually reflects that * lied & is incompetent.

7. Knowing Bill Maher, this is a joke.
Maybe he's making a point about the media and their polls.

There's no way!
I am taking that poll! However, I will email him to let him know how damn stupid it/he is for posing the choices, as they are. That should give us an indication of where Maher stands on the issue. That sucks!

yes, but who cares???????? I CARE! Now I'm mad.

:mad:

11. I voted Yes, but who cares
As should everybody.

Maher's polls are always a takeoff on media polls.

23. That's exactly what it is and I'm stunned at some of the caustic,
and irrational reactions to the poll. Anyone who has seen the promo for Bill's show with him parachuting onto the deck of a carrier should know exactly how he feels about the chimp. Come on people.

14. Better Poll Response Options:
Regarding your poll and possible poll responses:
"Do you think President Bush knew he was relying on questionable intelligence when he declared Iraq attempted to buy uranium in Africa during his January State of the Union speech justifying the US invasion of Iraq?

-Not sure, but Bush getting caught in that lie was definitely a huge mistake!
-Yes, but who in the hell cares about the hundreds of dead and injured American soldiers anyway?
-Yes, But but hopefully the liberal press won't make a big deal about it until after the 2004 elections.

20. I thought it was DAMNED funny...
...especially given the header...

Find out if you are in the majority or minority (of a fraudulently worded push poll), or do you just not want your vote to count?

spears the 'liberal media' right thru...

21. That was a stupid poll.
Even if he meant it tongue in cheek, it tells me a lot about his attitude.

It really did matter....people are dying.

Obviously you've never watched his show.

28. Yes, I have.
I have watched it often. He quite frequently says we need to not worry about the war, not really justifying it, just playing it down.
Meanwhile the soldiers and the Iraqis are dying.
That is what bothers me. He can be very astute, but his casual attitude about that bothers me.

Yes, he could have been doing a parody. But the last time he put down the war protestors, we had just gotten back from one. It hurt.

25. You're crazy if you think Bill leans right.
Because so many Freeps are loudspoken advocates for the legalization of marijuana. I'm surprised this thing went over SO many heads.

32. am I the only one who's starting to feel different
about Bill Maher? I used to think he was a rare voice of dissent on TV but there's just something about his smugness that is turning me off his show....

33. For Christ's sake...
The man put out a book mocking homeland security and the like. He's not a freeper. Never has been. Never will be. He does however think for himself, which does turn some off.
