SCENARIO: You are President Gore on Sept. 11, 2001

[UdoKier]

In this alternate timeline where Jeb and Kathy did NOT steal the election, what do you do?

[skylarmae]

is it your job to put up these lame polls? just wondering?

most times they are insulting to my senses. Upgrade, upgrade, upgrade. Most seem to fit into the 'clucking hen' category. Maybe its just me....

[UdoKier]

2. No. Is it your job to come rag on them?

Nobody forces you to respond.

[skylarmae]

5. well then I'm glad I just did. Glad to oblige n/t

[HootieMcBoob]

3. I kinda like this one n/t

7. Polls can be used as statements.

It's not a bug, it's a feature.

I usually hang out on kuro5hin.org, the original Scoop blog (dailyKos uses the same software now). There you often see diaries like "{enemy} is a lame motherf***er" with only one possible response, "YES." It's just part of the culture. I'm surprised I don't see more of that here, but then I think DU is a tad more serious in its mission at this point in history.

[UdoKier]

9. Exactly.

And I kinda liked this one.

If I may say so myself.

1. A fine poll! n/t

[Cassandra]

4. President Gore smiled as he thought of...

the Gore Commission, whose findings on airport security were implemented so that there was no chance for these attacks to take place.

[RollergirlVT]

6. now that was a good poll

[speedoo]

8. Thanks for the best poll in a long time!! eom

[slutticus]

10. Nice!

[Arkana]

11. Um, fuck yeah

President Al Gore wouldn't have shit-canned Clinton's terrorism initiatives, Richard Clarke would be let off his leash, and we'd have al Qaeda put to bed within months.
