Actually, for once MSNBC put up a dumb poll. One choice for the conservatives, two choices to split the leftist vote. Everybody go vote on this one, it's too important to miss.

There was once a rumor Kerry was stuck in Viet Nam for a very short while, so does his comment carry across wars?

[Impeach98]

Thank you! (feels stupid).

I tried to search under "Freep" but didn't think of the oh-so-tricky "MSNBC" keyword LOL!

"done..got to love how they set up two questions for the liberals and democrats and one for the rational among us!..(rolling eyes)"

I noticed that! They've done that before with their polls and they did it with this one too. You can either vote: "I totally agree with the liberal media and Democrat Party" or vote "It's not fair what the evil Republicans are doing to try and trick people into thinking Democrats aren't wonderful"

Only 57% think he was wrong? I wouldn't have believed it. On the other hand it IS MSNBC.

The choices on this poll represent massive spin for Kerry -

"Yes; the military has long been a step up for those with less education."

Inserting that option is meant to give libs an 'out' - to agree with the obvious about what Kerry said, but to give it a benign spin. NO ONE reviewing Kerry's remarks could imagine he was talking about the military as a form of upward mobility!!!! He was talking to current US college students, praising civilian education as the main form of upward mobility, and saying if you don't pursue your current path (civilian college) you could end up "stuck in Iraq."

PMSNBC has totally distorted the issue by giving libs a benign spin of Kerry's words in this poll.
