Poll
A poll on <http://www.catholic.org/> asks if Dean is too hot headed to be President. So far Strongly disagree is winning by a small lead. Please DU this poll

3. Why?
Edited on Sat Dec-06-03 12:47 PM by Lindacooks
The Repukes have hijacked the media; why shouldn't we fight back wherever we can, however small the target?

On edit:

By the way, that poll violates all the standards of polling. The two 'extremes' at the bottom and top should be 'strongly agree' and 'strongly disagree'. The way they have it set up, the two 'extremes' are 'strongly agree' and 'somewhat disagree'. Be careful before you vote; they've set it up to be anti-Dean.

Not so. The choices are...

Strongly agree
Somewhat agree
Strongly Disagree
Somewhat Disagree

Both sides of the extreme are covered. Hope you didn't vote for "Somewhat Disagree" if you wanted to vote "Strongly Disagree" because it looks like you didn't read it carefully enough. It does seem like an odd order to put the choices in... you'd think they would have put the choices in order from one extreme to the other (seems it would make more sense that way).

2. 51.8% Strongly Disagree
Only seven thousand votes cast so fairly small sampling.

10. It just seems like freeping to me.
If you are involved with catholicism, then you should participate. I just wouldn't feel right infringing on any religious site as an atheist. who respects the religious boundaries of others. My personal feelings.

5. The Bush people are worried about this guy.
Did Bush get one of his big wig friends in the church get then to put this on that poll? Bush is buddy buddy with some guy high up in the church. One of the Prince of the church. Want to move the church out of the Dem pocket I guess.The are really going to go after Dean. You just watch what happens. Grass root people are scary to them, even more than reg, guys that run,

6. You can expect the RC Church
to oppose Dean because of the civil unions thing.

What we have to do is quote the pope opposing the war in Iraq.
