1. As if this was a matter of opinion

Either it's there or it's not. This is a question of fact, and CNN merely stokes the misinformation by presenting it as a question of opinion. Read the goddam bills, CNN. If there's something in there about death panels, tell us. If there's not, why are you allotting time to delusional screamers who wet themselves when surprised by their own shadows?

This is what passes for the most trusted name in news anymore?

10. It's CNN's JOB to tell us it ain't in there. What a waste of time these guys are. nt

12. Exactly.

What a stupid poll. Didn't one of those "N"s (in CNN) stand for "news"?

Show your viewers/readers the facts; don't ask them to tell you the facts. That's how a news organization should act.

2. What's sad is that 36% actually said yes or aren't sure.

36% of our misinformed population.

3. The Republicans already created the death panels back in 2003

You would think that if Republicans wanted to totally mischaracterize a health care provision and demagogue it like nobody's business, they would at least pick something that the vast majority of them hadn't already voted for just a few years earlier. Because that's not just shameless, it's stupid.

Yes, that's right. Remember the 2003 Medicare prescription drug bill, the one that passed with the votes of 204 GOP House members and 42 GOP Senators? Anyone want to guess what it provided funding for? Did you say counseling for end-of-life issues and care? Ding ding ding!!

5. Funny, to me the poll reads: "Are you a moron and/or a liar?"

[ddeclue]

6. Proof positive of the stubborn 23% of morans who refuse to get any smarter when faced with facts

8. wasn't that W's approval rating when he left office?

that would explain it right there.

7. the fact that

this is a question is what is outrageous.

9. Just voted I noticed that same 23% that still love Bush

believe in death panels, this proves about 1 person out of 4 is a moran.
