7. If people in a Democracy were expected to disagree, we'd vote and stuff

8. Already did

It's a weird, twisted question, though. The only way criticism is helpful is it'll end the war at some point. It doesn't help them now.

It's crucial that we criticize it, loud and long, but it doesn't help the troops to do it in any concrete way. Still, I clicked on helpful to counteract a freeper. :evilgrin:

10. Proves Push-Pollsters are having a HELLA time wording anything...

...spun enough to get a positive spin for this Administration.

BushCo's days just may be numbered (numbered at about 19% approval rating prior to impeachment.)

14. It's on the right side of the page near the bottom.

Probably not much point. It looks like it's freeped beyond redemption.

15. Literally taken, a bad question - the answer SHOULD be "harmful"....

.... Seeing as how what would be HELPFUL to our nation and its troops is UNANIMITY on getting the fuck outta Iraq.

See what I mean? It's the disagreement brought on by the chickenhawks that's harmful to the country, and to the troops.

16. it's a rotten question. poorly worded. designed to get the

response, "harmful".

If they really wanted to have a real poll, they could ask,

What effect does dissent have against the troops?

None, bad, good

What reasons do you have for thinking it has:

(none) choices a, b, c

(bad) choices a, b, c

(good) choices a, b, c

Now on a side note, I'd appreciate it if you'd read my comments about the war here:
