2. "Should President Bush sidestep the Senate" - finally some honesty.

[jojo54]

6. Isn't that the truth..........

'cause he already knows that he will do it. What a snake.

[aden_nak]

8. Yeah, but at least they admitted he was just sidestepping the senate.

It's their use of the word "sidestep" that interests me there. I mean, can you imagine them having a poll that associated a negative word like that with Bush in, say, 2003?

[RaleighNCDUer]

27. "Sidestep" sure rings a bell.

Everything I ever needed to know about Texas politics, I learned from "The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas".

Doing the Texas sidestep.

[SteppingRazor]

3. I kinda hope he does...

The political fallout would be exquisite. Especially with his poll numbers already sinking like the Titanic.

[Totally Committed]

4. Not that * is going to give a rat's ass...

what some CNN poll says.

But, I voted. My guess: He'll be appointed. * doesn't care.

5. I Double Dog Dare Dubya

to do it.

His policitcal capital is fading fast, he does this he pisses off the more moderate Republicans in the Senate.

"Well, the Democrats were so obstructionist I had to do it" may very well just sound like whining at this point. We just have to get the right spin on it.

[Double T]

18. I would say the shrub is now running a deficit on his political capital..

at least he's consistent.

[Jack Rabbit]

7. With over 100K votes

Again, it's not a scientific survey. The Bushies no doubt keep telling themselves that.

Bush will let Bolton in through the back door. He'll be a disaster. It will hurt the GOP in 2006.

[aden_nak]

10. No can do. That door is expressly reserved for Jeff Gannon.

[havocmom]

9. Hmm, CNN doesn't count every vote either?

Yes 25% 26882 votes
No 75% 78891 votes
Total: 105773 votes

I voted, checked the reslts and get the very same total votes number you got when you checked the reslts! Have noticed this happens often with the CNN poll results. So, they must not bother to count all the votes just like the GOP owned voting machines?

[aden_nak]

12. More likely their scripts suck, which is true for the rest of the site.

[comradebillyboy]

11. yes yes yes

i want bush to do a recess appointment. i want bolton to be a huge embarassment to the repukes and neo-cons. i want the bushies and the far right to fuck up as badly as they can.

when the situation gets bad enough, change will occur and if the dem party establishment pulls its collective head out of its ass it might find some avenue for sucess.

[Sydnie]

13. I did it but the numbers didn't change

How often do they update it? The vote count did not change. Good numbers so far though.

[jojo54]

19. I think it takes a few minutes

I had done a poll about a month ago, and kept deleting my cookies so I could go back and vote again, and again, and again.......

I noticed that it took about 5 minutes before the total number would change. But you never know with CNN.

[wryter2000]

14. Done

75% no.

At least this isn't a lifetime appointment. In fact, if * does give him a recess appointment, we may have much evidence about how he behaves when his appointment comes up again. (Just looking for a silver lining here because * does what he wants, to hell with what's right.)

[Eagle_Eye]

15. Bush was appointed by the Supreme Court, he wouldn't care

one wit what people think about him appointing Bolton.

[tnlefty]

16. 75% - NO with 111,841 votes...................n/t

n/t

[havocmom]

17. After you vote in this one, post the count for yes, no and TOTAL

We need to see if that total changes. I have noticed that it often does not change after people vote.

[Sydnie]

20. I am glad it wasn't just me

I even felt a little silly posting about that fact. They never seem to update for me!

[havocmom]

25. Somebody mentioned bad 'script'. Could a techie explain this to us

Luddite types? Is it an accident or is CNN just ignoring some of us so the numbers don't look so bad for the junta?

[jojo54]

21. Nope, didn't change. n/t

I can understand your sentiments that we should let them shoot themselves in the foot... but at what cost? Letting Bolton go in the UN is like a bull in a china cabinet. Things are too delicate for him to even get near. I think the appointment of Bolton is the most dangerous despicable appointments Bush has made so far and that includes Gonzales, Janice Rogers Brown and Condasleeza.

The appointment of this snake will bring catastrophic consequences! We have already been shown Bush's style of diplomacy (none whatsoever) and should hold him accountable..... grrrrrrrrr

[thecrow]

28. 118006 votes 75% NO

How come the vote count didn't change when I voted NO?
CNN must be using Diebold.

[hnsez]

29. If he gets appointed, what hope do we have of ever getting the papers?

That Bush wont give up. I have the feeling there is stuff damaging to more people than just Bolton on them.


Bush has to appoint him then to avoid a drawn out battle for their release.

[ailsagirl]

35. We'll never see them-- they must be pretty bad

[Gothmog]

30. done

Go for it , SHithead!

[VOX]

32. Done. Still 75% NO with 124172 votes. n/t

[jojo54]

33. At least our question about the total has been answered

From 111,841 to 124,172. Our votes ARE being counted! Surprise, it's a one hit wonder from CNN.

[Lochloosa]

34. Done 75% No..130462 votes

36. Now there is a different poll.

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals:

[CBHagman]

37. Yeah, they've moved on to the murders of the civil rts workers.

Subjecting a one of the most agonizing cases of the past 40 years to a POLL? Curses on CNN. :grr:

:mad:
