Why do you rely on crooked polls? Did you do that during the election last year, or did you question who was taking the poll, who was being polled, and what the poll questions were?

Fox News poll shows more than two to one against you.

So what?

A poll does not decide "right" from "wrong" - PARTICULARLY, when the "polling public" has been (deliberately) misinformed by the MSM and pro-abortion forces.

"Right" and "wrong" are absolutes.

This is the only poll I found on the FOX website. I used the word push poll because it assumed that Terri is in a PVS. Sorry, I cannot reformat from a .pdf file. It was taken long before this weekend's focus on her situation.


4 March 05
Polling was conducted by telephone March 1-2, 2005 in the evenings. The total sample is 900 registered voters nationwide with a margin of error of ±3 percentage points.
34. If a patient has been in what doctors call a "persistent vegetative" or a coma-like state with no higher brain activity for a significant amount of time, who do you think should make the decision whether the patient should be kept alive or not? SCALE: 1. The person's parents or other family members 2. The person's spouse 3. The government 4. (The person's doctor) 5. (Not sure) Parents Spouse Government (Doctor) (NS) 1-2 Mar 05 38% 45 2 3 12 Parents 39% 46 3 1 11 Non-parents 38% 45 1 3 13 Married 34% 49 2 3 12 Unmarried 46% 38 1 3 13

v35. Terri Schiavo has been in a so-called "persistent vegetative state" since 1990. Terri's husband says his wife would rather die than be kept alive artificially and wants her feeding tube removed. Terri's parents believe she could still recover and want the feeding tube to remain. If you were Terri's guardian, what would you do? Would you remove the feeding tube or would you keep the feeding tube inserted? Remove Keep (Not sure) 1-2 Mar 05 59% 24 17 Parents 58% 23 19 Non-parents 59% 25 16 Married 58% 23 19 Unmarried 60% 26 14
28-29 Oct 03 61% 22 17
36. If you were in Terri Schiavo's place, what would you want your guardian to do? Would you have your guardian remove the feeding tube or keep the feeding tube inserted? Remove Keep (Not sure) 1-2 Mar 05 74% 15 11 Parents 72% 17 11 Non-parents 75% 14 12 Married 74% 14 12 Unmarried 74% 16 10
28-29 Oct 03 74% 16 10

Fox news dynamic polls are dramatically wrong at times. Remember the same poll showed kerry ahead days before the election.

I think it is a valid concern with these polls to consider if people wanted the federal government involved or did they HAVE to get involved because of the local court acctions.

The people I have spoken to suggest that giving mere access to federal courts is not wrong. The MSM is trying to spin this as a congress ordering something done. The only thing congress did was to give them access to the courts.

BTW NEW DNC TALKING POINT: No parent wants to burry their child.
