Interesting question on today's Zogby poll

[canuckybee]

Would you rather vote for a tin man who was all brains and no heart, or a scarecrow who is all heart and no brains?

Is it just me, or is that a very strange question?

1. a mix of the two

which is why I support Kerry, Kerry has both heart and brains.

2. Not a strange question at all

IMO, the question seeks to separate liberals and conservatives. I remember seeing this question a month or so ago. I didn't like it only because I didn't like the choices. The two answers are polar extremes. I forget what I answered. If there was an "Don't Know", that's probably what I chose.

3. The implied analogy, by the current conventional media "wisdom",

I think, is that Tin Man (all brains no heart) = Kerry, and that Scarecrow (all heart no brains) = Bush. But neither is accurate. Kerry's got plenty of heart and courage, and while it is true that Bush has no brains, he is also heartless.

4. I would actually switch the two...

I think liberals are viewed as all heart while conservatives are more apt to rationalize everything. I think Kerry has both.

7. bush has neither a heart, nor a brain, nor courage.

He's the Tin Man, Scarecrow and Cowardly Lion all rolled into one.

5. I didn't like the choice either

It was more of the one-dimensional thinking that seems to be so prevalent in the media today. I agree with the others about division and putting K or * into categories.
Except... I don't think * has either a brain or a heart. We know he can't think and he damn sure isn't "compassionate".

6. To make this analogous to "The Wizard of Oz"...

9. Rove/Cheney, thought it was obvious by now...

14. Yeah, my point exactly...

great pic....taken recently? (say...backstage @ debate #1) ;)

8. analogy don't work for Buch because he has neither.

And Kerry has both.

But in the spirit of rolling with it. I want my president to be SMART. Not some dumbass who is pushing buttons to see the pretty lights.

11. Bush=Wizard....a phoney with someone else behind the curtains.

12. What the hell we have no brains, no heart now. Kerry has both. Idiots.
