WTF... Arabs vs. Mafia on CNN QuickVote

Could not believe it:

Who would you rather see running US Ports? Arab-based company or US-based mafia? http://us.cnn.com/

Did not even look at the results before firing in a negative comment.

Unless they give us a choice for the mafia between The Sopranos vs. The Carlyle Group, this thing is about as low as they can sink.

3. Pretty much what my comment to them was

Hard to tell the difference from FAUX or the Nat'l Inquirer.

Also had my own poll for them:

Who should formulate QuickVote polls?

a) Jerry Falwell
b) Karl Rove
c) David Dukes

2. I don't know which disturbs me more

The fact this question was even posted on the Web Site or the fact that 63% voted for the US-Based Mafia.

Or would vote for them AT ALL.

Or even took the damn question SERIOUSLY enough to put enough THOUGHT into making a CHOICE.

Dear God this country has truly gone INSANE.

It may be time to update my US-Based Passport.

12. After Bushco, the mob looks like a well run organization.

4. Revolting as all hell. The fact that the mafia is winning demonstrates

as well as anything I can imagine why I am sickened by the romanticizing of the mafia so prevalent today.

They are sick fucks that kill people that cross them. Kinda like OBL, folks.

The fact that people have even voted for this poll is disgusting as well.

10. I didn't see it as being pro-mafia

It seems to me that the whole point of the poll was to set up a straw man to prop up support for Dubai Ports World. But the people aren't buying it.

5. And the inference is that the "US based mafia"

is the Unions - not the Sopranos which is what they'll try to claim . . .

You always hear "unions" with "organized crime" from the stench-hole of repukes . . .

6. A corrupted Longshoreman's Association = fifth column?

That seems to be the gist of the AP article related to the CNN poll.
Even as CNN's false choices go, this one is egregious.

The mafia America should really worry about is the Bush Family.
