Another BS poll from Wolf Blitzer...
Big surprise, right?

http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/wolf.blitzer.reports/

Is the death toll for U.S. forces in Iraq higher or lower than you expected?

Higher 58% 99895 votes

Lower 42% 71942 votes

If we say higher, that means we thought the war was a good idea and were "surprised" it didn't turn out well. If it's lower, then things really aren't so bad!

Whatever.

Which should we vote for?

2. I would vote higher: I believed "my pResident" and he said we would get
candy and flowers...we are getting dead kids and thousands of Iraqis whom we don't even count.

3. HA,
I was facing the same struggle! The window is still open, my vote uncast. I knew there would be many, many deaths (didn't everyone???). But neither answer expresses my views. Why don't they ever have an "other" option (I know, I know...) :eyes:

The lower vote is all bad, higher is half and half.

6. Seriously....having a
"this about about what I expected" option, which seems to be a common sense answer, would actually make the poll FAIR.

But Wolf can't do that, nope.

5. I saw it and sent Wolfie a love note, which reads...
Thank you for putting such carefully worded polls on that are completely meaningless. The poll should read "Is the DEATH TOLL higher than Bush thought it would be?" It has at LEAST QUADRUPLED since the farce of Mission Accomplished. I implore you to STOP being a shill for this criminal admninistration.

I called it a positive feedback for him- I am sure they just pitch the ones marked negative.
