Pelosi blocking vote on offshore oil drilling:

Good, stand tough for environment

Bad, oil supplies needed

One more sign this isn't really a democracy

[dynachrome]

Interesting #3 answer.

Yeah no kidding...and it’s running way ahead of the environment question....very interesting!

[avacado]

"Interesting #3 answer"

Indeed! The liberal media in San Francisco still hasn't figured out that this country is a Republic!

"3) One more sign this isn't really a democracy"

I love a poll that has two right answers and one wrong answer. At least (for now) the Mad Cow is loosing.

SAn Fran Nan can’t get 20% in her favor but don’t worry. She’ll be reelected by a good majority.

[edzo4]

thats an old poll trick you put in an extra choice to dillute the answer you dont want

[Grampa Dave]

The Pelosi/Reid gift to America, the $4+ per gallon gasoline and blocking any drilling anywhere to reduce the price.

[KansasGirl]

Pelosi is getting nailed on this poll in her hometown paper.

[edzo4]

Even some Democrats are getting antsy, fearing the party's stance could hurt them in the fall elections. But Pelosi, who has opposed offshore drilling throughout her two decades in Congress, insists opening new areas to drilling won't lower gas prices in the short term. She believes a vote would only help the GOP blame Democrats for high gas prices.

poor poor delusional nancy she thinks by not allowing the vote she is helping the dems...

[dynachrome]

The answer they don’t want is still winning! (at least for now)

[Right Cal Gal]

Yeah, but all you have to do is read the “comments” and you can see the faithful are still behind her. These people actually believe the entire nation is angrier at Nancy because she didn’t have George W. Bush impeached.

They’re deluded - really they are.

A glimmer of hope, though. Coming out of my office building on my break, a twit in an ACLU t-shirt with a petition on a clipboard said to me “Do you want to do something to stop torture?” I said “No, I want to do something to stop terrorists.” And as I watched for about 10 minutes, everyone walked right by him as he was pleading for signatures. Finally an old smelly hippy signed the petition, and then hit the twit for money.

To Nancy Fool-osi

Ambulances save our lives,
Yet none of them can go for drives
Without good oil
You silly goil.

[metmom]

They actually had an answer I wanted to choose.

Yeah, technically this isn’t a democracy but..... it was closer by far to the answer I would have given and I knew what they meant.
