IMHO these polls are meaningless and a waste of time.
They are simply a place for the Bush haters to vent their frustrations.

Ignore MSNBC polls.

FYI, I happened to surf into Gloria Borger interviewing someone on an MSNBC program an hour or so after my last post, and she was using the phony numbers from this "poll" to argue her liberal "points." Of course O'Reilly does the same thing on Fox so I guess the bottom line is that even "scientific" polls can be jiggered (and often are), and internet polls are totally unreliable.

*BUMP* Looks like the DUmmies have been hard at work on this one.

Taxes are the best way 18% 29%

I think it is supposed to say 'Tax CUTS are the best way'. Or else it is intentionally phrased that way to distort the results.

Just so you guys know, you can vote as many times as you want if you delete your cookies and then go back to it.

I suspected MSNBC (More Snotty Nonesense By Creeps, aside from Savage, that is) wouldn't be smart enough to log IPs. :-p

It looks like the Demolosers have been working all night.

No, all the "conservatives" who drank the Bush Kool-Aid are beginning to see the error of their ways.
