Looks like the game is up. Time for peaceful civil disobedience to get rid of this tyrant.

1. IT's not a scientific poll, so it's accuracy is flawed.
I look forward to seeing an official poll on this subject in the near future as well as a similar outcome.

5. Seventy percent!!!....It's only seventyfreakinpercent?!
Edited on Sat Dec-17-05 03:59 PM by JohnnyRingo
WHAT the hell are 30% of those polled looking forward to in the NEXT three years?

End of a two party system?
Big Brother government?
A nanny state?

Are 30% of the people brainwashed, or did 9/11 cause mass insanity?

On edit:
After voting I wonder if I should be more concerned about those who bothered to vote "I don't know" or "I don't care".

6. Question of the day has 85% saying it was not "okay"
without court approval http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3080261/. CNN (bottom right) is at 70% that NSA should not have been given the authority.

9. I Feel EXACTLY Like You Do Today!!
The mere fact that a president of ANY country would get on National TV and admonish "the press" for reporting (oh, after a year or so) that we are being SPIED on is BEYOND comprehension!

Even more so that 25% of the people would think it's OKAY is SICKENING!!

Have YOU NO DECENCY???? I put the Sir on at first but removed it... it does not apply in this case! People we are getting Royally F--ked!! BOHICA!!!!

12. I know this has been said over and over ...
...but I'll say it again. There is no point in paying attention to, or "DU-ing" these so-called internet polls. They don't just lack "scientific validity." They're completely meaningless. The very fact that they can be a"DU'ed" or "freeped" indicate this. So no, it's not the case that 70% think that the spying was unconstitutional. At this point, we have no idea what percentage think that.

13. How utterly ignorant- and typical of MSRNC
What the FUCK do I care what 70% of people "think."

It's unconstutional- that's A FACT.

That 70% believe it, or 30% don't, doesn't make it any less a fact.

This sort of thing is why so many Americans have allowed themselves to become misinformed by the so called" mainstream" media.
