Poll question: Let's cut through the chatter:
No nuanced answers, no dominating the discussion with repeated posts. One vote.

As of this morning:

1. I'm not giving up until I see the final bill passed.
This is about health care, right?

4. There will be a bill. The insurance companies and the hospitals want a bill....
But they want THEIR bill and they want an anemic "Public Option". And that's what will pass.

6. Meaningless.
Hope in what? To what ends? What does that even mean now?

How about ACTION or INACTION?

How about are you pro-corporate sponsored government or against it?

Or the most important polling question of all:

--Working Class
--Rulers

Pick one.

I guess you could say I HOPE that people will wake up and stop swallowing the bullshit peddled by most of Washington, and stop pretending that real change is going to come from triangulating, capitulating nonsense.

I used to think that corporate whoring democratic representatives were the exception to the rule, but now I know that the are the rule rather than the exception. The total disillusionment I feel doesn't have to lead to defeat... it can lead to a keen political awareness and a refusal to play the bullshit game of establishment corporatism anymore. The more people wake up, the more afraid the entrenched corporate sponsored political establishment should be...

9. I love the simplicity of this poll.
Of course this approach will not be embraced by everyone.

:eyes:

I went with hope, of course.
