2. i love how the choice about the Iraq invasion is
right decision or mistake. not wrong decision. as if they couldn't have actively chosen the wrong decision, but they were just "mistaken"

3. Another odd choice..
I like how the choices in the question about above/below 30..

Do you agree or disagree: The Bush administration policies in the war on terrorism and overthrow of Saddam Hussein have asked for a lot of sacrifices from people under age 30, while asking no real sacrifice from people over age 30. Agree/Disagree/Not Sure

Making it seem like either "Asked too many sacrifices from people under 30", or "Asked too many sacrifices from people over 30", or "didn't ask too many sacrifices from anyone".

How about "It asked too many sacrifices from everyone equally"..

This I find funny though. Overall, do you approve, disapprove, or have mixed feelings about the way George W. Bush is handling his job as president?
Strongly approve 34%
Somewhat approve 10%
Lean toward approval 2%
Mixed feelings 2%
Lean toward disapproval 2%
Somewhat disapprove 4%
Strongly disapprove 44%

"I'm a uniter, not a divider." -George W. Bush*

5. I agree, KuroKensaki...
This was a stupidly-worded question. For each soldier under the age of 30 who makes the "ultimate sacrifice," there are mothers, fathers, grandparents, aunts & uncles, etc., etc., etc.

This question should have had a fourth answer: "I refuse to answer this question because it is just plain stupid!" That's the answer I would've chosen.

4. As a 35 year old Gex X'er I'm a little miffed.
Only to 30 in the poll? F'em.

Also the Abortion questions were frightening. I think perhaps young women who were born with the right to choose don't value it as much as those who had to fight for it. Frankly I think they'll screw themselves over.

Sad, very sad.
