So 62 percent think that we should remain reactive and let more citizens become "hero's" in random terror attacks on our shores. Live life like they do in Israel.

Well dopes...be prepared to hear plenty more "lets roll" stories instead of letting troops end the terror.

My thoughts exactly! Same for CNN. Let them have their little poll - all it does is propel them over the cliff at a faster pace! Which cannot be soon enough for me.

With 71% of the Time/CNN poll saying we are doing a great job in Iraq, and 65% saying it was right to go to Iraq, it tells you a lot about the people who watch PMSNBC.

Well, I guess the nicest thing one can say is that they've sure got a lock on the sheeple demographic :)

Don't think conservative FReeper votes count. Stays the same.

I agree - I tried to vote, but my vote wasn't accepted. Results stayed the same.

CNN polls almost never change and I never seem to see them with less than several thousand votes and already leaning heavily left.

MSNBC seems to be about the same.

Fox, I see polls sometimes with less than 1000 votes and they sway back & forth.

Tell me why does the network with the LARGEST VIEWERSHIP have polls with less votes? And Fox is very active in promoting their websites. Things that just make you go Hummmm...

I think what they have learned to do is shut out anybody who comes to their site from FR. I've seen this a lot and this is why I don't bother with any of these "traitor" polls.

What is the purpose of Freeping a poll - to bend the truth of public opinion, a protest...what???

If the opinion of the people isn't in line with conservative values - try to change the opinion, not the poll. Artificially changing poll results only diminishes the limited value they already have.

Why do you attack OUR votes as artificial? Do we not have a right to vote as well, or is that priviledge reserved for liberals?

Polls have become mainstream at the cost of reality. IMHO, freeping a poll establishes a presence more than an opinion. You can't bend the truth of a polling question that's based on false pretenses, but what has become a pasttime here at FR is to let the poll takers & poll readers know we're watching by doing a "freep".

The only poll that matters is on a Tuesday in the season between foul weather and worse weather. <|:-)~~
