47. "I hated the gooks. I will hate them as long as I live."
Which in McCain's bizarro world must mean that deep down he truly respects them. Certainly, his captors must have been proficient in the use of "exquisite torture". What a dumb ass.

These polls are scams to bolster TPTB. They are UNSCIENTIFIC, buggy and designed to "prove" the POV of the media outlet that posts them.

15. TPTB? What's that, The Poll That Bites?
:rofl: Anyway you're right...people who vote in these things are unlikely to be in a position to influence policy anyway (including me for sure) ;-)

18. True - usually. But my newspaper relies heavily on them.

The Arizona Republic(an) actually quotes these polls in many of their articles and many of their columns. So they actually do matter here.

8. That poll question might just as well be: " Do think it is acceptable to increase the likelihood
that U.S. troops will be tortured if captured?"

40. Problem is there are too many transplants from states that
take water for granted. Anyone with half a brain living in the desert figures out pretty damn quick how important water is. Just sayin'.

12. Done - we DU'd the same poll on CNN yesterday
All day long it was 44% for waterboarding, 56% against. Couldn't believe it. The # of responses kept rising but the percentages stayed the same all day long

13. Too bad all of the people voting yes can't get a first hand demo
of what water boarding is. The MSM shows the pouring of water and not the holding the head in water or dunking in a toilet. What has happened to the morals and values that once defined us?

17. Are the interrogators looking for the truth or misinformation to
feed their propaganda machines. Chances are that the tortured will tell the interrogator exactly what he wants to hear. If it were me being tortured, I would!!!

36. Same thing with our local NBC, Channel 12
so obviously slanted toward McCain and disparaging toward Obama and Clinton. We don't have a chance in Nov.

45. They're owned by the same parent company - Gannett.
They often mirror each other because of that.

39. They will always support the candidate from their own state.
I am sure it would be a big economic boost (somehow) if McCain gets elected...a big deal for Arizona anyhow. AFAIC, I can't imagine anything worse than McCain winning. Ugh. The man totally creeps me out...and that's in addition to all the crap he's pulled on the Navajo/Hopi here. Can you say batshit crazy with a bad temper to boot?? Meet John McC *shudder*
