[Cicero]

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.

Were Sen. John Kerry's remarks linking education to the war in Iraq appropriate?   * 107168 responses
	Yes; the military has long been a step up for those with less education. 23%
	No; the comments implied that service members are not intelligent. 57%
	They were misinterpreted or taken out of context. 20%

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.
