Right. Any poll that draws equivocation between Gitmo and the Soviet Gulags immediately disqualifies itself.

Unbelievable. This nation never ceases to amaze me.

Here we are, less than four years after the biggest attack that has ever taken place against us, and 65% of the idiots who voted in that poll think that some Amnesty group with a political agenda- a group which hasn't investigated the situation anywhere near as much as the government has- is more accurate than the government.

You know, going by CNN.com polls, you'd think that 9/11 never happened. Either this is a nation filled with idiots that have totally forgotten what has happened, or DUmmies like to invade CNN.com in droves to distort the polls.

"...being more accurate..."?!!!

Ah yes. The way in which this question is expressed implies that there is accuracy without bias. After all, the individuals participating in this poll would not want to think of themselves as being bias.

The question showed have been:

"Who do you think is being ACCURATE over the U.S. detention of terror suspects?" Now, that is MORE accurate.

Well, yeah. But, it is a CNN.com poll. A similar poll on FoxNews.com would likely get a much different result.

"DUmmies like to invade CNN.com in droves to distort the polls"


By jove I think you've got it!!

This is why we don't play anymore. We just let the DUers pump up the poll to the point it's so distorted - it's basically worthless. Perfect!

A FR poll "adjustment" is called a "FReep"

This one should be called a "DUmp"!!

Lets just do it their way. Line them up, and cut off their heads while we make a nice little tape to send home to their mothers!!!!!
Give me a break. Our government has bend over backwards to make sure these murders are taken care of.
