I fibbed. i said i watched it when i did not because i wanted to answer the questions.
I dont watch showtime its all a bunch of retreads.now my crazy MIL loves all those up the clicker channels.i stick with fox,tlc.discovery.court tv ect... the down the clicker channels

I answered "no" on the "did you vote" question too and realized, too late, that it was a push poll.

But, unlike the Left, I try to be honest. I was 7 in 1980. But I did vote for Bush SR in 91, Dole in 96, and G.W. Bush (for all the good my military absentee ballot did) in 2000.

Even that is a weed out question. Say NO you didn't watch. Let them know what percentage of people looking at the poll boycotted the broadcast.

Whether you watched or not doesn't mean that the show affected YOUR perception of Ronald Reagan. It also doesn't change whether or not the show had a liberal bias or not.

heck, they could have asked "Did the Reagans miniseries meet your low expectations?" Yes, No, Plesantly Surprized.

Do not care to comment on fiction.

Thank you. I took the poll and posted my blasting comments about CBS, Showtime, Dan Rather, Barbara Streisand, James Brolin and the rest of the Democrat liberal leftists. I hope that Frank Something or Another will read them aloud and over the air, but I seriously doubt it.

[Laserman]

I did not watch the show, and promptly cancelled my Showtime subscription this morning as I promised them in an earlier email. Of course I never heard back from them.

Showtime and ABC are both dead to me.
