MSNBC POLL:<b>Were Sen. John Kerry's remarks linking education to the war in Iraq appropriate? </b>

MSNBC ^

To me that response says "I agree with Kerry that the military has always been a dumping ground for society's drop-out."

Exactly.

The folks who picked *that* answer are killing Kerry and the Ds.

In my opinion, that is the part that is most damaging here -- the clear fact that at least 1/2 of Kerry's base feels that "either you're smart, or you end up in the military".

To me, that's not 'Pro-Kerry'. That *kills* Kerry/the Ds.

They cooked the poll questions so perversely...yet still did not get the answer they were fishing for. HAHA.

Reality 1, MSM 0

Not bad results, considering this is MSNBC - Chrissy should take a peek at how relevant he is to even his own viewers...

Those people need some education.

And maybe some medication.

I like how they split the kerry cling-on vote,... with a leading question that Kerry now INSISTS! he did not imply.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Kerry is an ass.

This poll is one of the ways the MSM circles the wagons. They'll figure out some way to protect Kerry. It'll be lame, but they'll all believe it. The echo chamber goes on...

Wonder when the CNN poll comes out showing that in fact American aren't even mildly offended by Kerry's insulting comments.

[good old days]

Getting closer. It's now 58% with over 160,000 votes.

It's good to know that the voters have figured john effin kerry and his inept backpeddeling out.

[Fred S]

Right, the wording is terrible. The question should be INappropriate. We are to assume that everything he says (most of it) should be appropriate. (We can debate that part later.)

You have to read it carefully. You want to vote--YES--it was completely INappropriate of him to say that. But the right answer is NO.

I'll bet more than 1/3 of the NO votes were supposed to be YES votes...but too late to change.

This is much more than the Flor-duh "butterfly" sting-like-a-bee ballet.

Oh yeah!!! Freeped and acknowledged.

Thank you for the FACTS kelly! It is always good have them readily available when debating the idiots.

[kellynla]

and the next time some Lefty talks about how "dumb" Bush is; remind them that he had a higher G.P.A. at Yale than Kerry.

[Just A Nobody]

Whenever ANYONE mentions how "dumb" our President is, I tell them they are too dumb for me to waste my time talking to.
