1. An idiotic push poll worthy of Beevis and Butthead. nt

[struggle4progress]

2. I keep meaning to ask in ATA if we couldn't have polls with fifty or a hundred options

It's difficult trying to cram all the possibilities into ten slots

5. Huh huh...

Uh.. huh-huh.

6. Poor little push poll.

7. Exaggerating Egomaniac

Whose "revelations" are interesting and may merit discussion, but have been exaggerated beyond that into the realm of absurdity, both by him and by those who latch onto him due to their hatred of everything government/American/Obama.

9. You must work for Gallup! LOL!

Breathlessly hyperbolic, like most of the stuff you say.

10. I do think he's a libertarian fanatic

and I don't want to vote "but that's OK because he did what had to be done," but I am glad that the whole issue of the NSA's level of surveillance has come to light. I appreciate what he's done even though I question his motives. I suspect he partially had good motives and partially wanted to slam Obama.

The world isn't black and white. He can be a libertarian jerk but still have some morals and still have done something good, even if his motives weren't necessarily 100% what people would like to think.

I am not anti-Snowden and I am not pro-Snowden either.

11. I love polls!

And pie!!!!!

12. Naive dupe.

Still extremely happy it was done. I might think the guy is a fool but that doesn't mean the release itself is bad. I think it is funny how much of it is about him personally. You either have to love him or hate him, love the release or hate the release. The guy seems to be a lowlife, I am still extremely happy about the release.
