1. so why do you suppose bush-41's 6th year results

are missing

[sui generis]

2. this is so wrong

so what do you think "highest priority" is interpreted as when the Iraq war is highest priority?

Getting out or staying in?

I just don't think this is a meaningful poll.

Also, the social wedge issues that drove everyone to the polls, i.e., defending the institution of traditional marriage from non-traditional gay married terrorists as THE HIGHEST PRIORITY isn't even mentioned here.

ABC you get a failing grade on this poll.

7. Agreed. Just another fake poll to get info they can manipulate. A good

poll would be SPECIFIC - and offer a "lowest" rating.

[spanone]

16. I won't vote in this poll. The outcomes could be construed anyway.

[OneBlueSky]

3. what a bullshit poll . . . particularly since uncovering/preventing . . .

election fraud, discovering what really happened on 9/11, and impeaching the BushCo administration aren't even on the list . . . I'll pass . . .

[cyberpj]

8. I like your ideas - isn't there any respecting pollsters that w/ask these?

They're not even on the radar.

9. Yeah, some were very stupidly put

Taxes could have been "make tax cuts permanent" or "make more tax cuts" or "roll back tax cuts on the richest 1%" or any of a dozen alternatives.

"Social Security" likewise could have meant too many things, like taking OASDI overpayments out of the general fund versus letting Stupid wreck the system.

Also "cutting spending." Clearly, the Pentagon needs to go on a diet. However, social cuts are already killing people. Just how strong is the Repug blood lust and how many of their fellow citizens do they want dead?

The categories were too broad and undefined, rendering them useless.

4. Weird responses--

Only 32% of Reps. vote budget deficit as a highest priority, compared to 50% Dems. It figures--lobbying reform only grabs 13% of Republican respondents as a highest priority.

[Ready4Change]

6. And my questions didn't HAVE lobbying reform.

Nor did I provide info on whether I was an R or D.

Were the "results" show from another poll?

[spindrifter]

11. Same here---

[0007]

5. Nothing on the scandalous President and his friends?

ABC is so phoney and full of shit they make the White House look about half decent at times.

[zalinda]

10. I just put "get rid of Bush as my highest priority"

where it says first and last name. Left all others blank, except zip.

12. i would like to see tv journalists dragged into the square and hung nt

[Buck Rabbit]

13. Whaaaa! My top issues don't even make the poll.

Distribution of wealth.

Fair Trade.

Capping the trade deficit.

14. no energy?

what a fucking joke! and a whole category for elderly prescription drugs??? Why isn't that just lumped in with health care in general? Because big pharma made it a whole issue unto itself I'd imagine. Disaster preparedness??? You've got to be kidding me. And who knows what they mean by taxes? Does that mean getting a fair tax code that works for everyone or just blindly slashing taxes that will mostly help billionaires. I suppose most people voted highest priority for both cutting taxes and balancing the budget. Why not stopping outsourcing or is that part of economy? And what does economy mean? Does that mean propping up the stock market and our currency or does that mean getting high paying high-tech jobs for people? Yeah, this poll is a joke.

[greiner3]

15. I saw the repugs were high on Iraq and the whatever it is on terror;

And at the bottom for anything that resembles help for those that can't help themselves. Figures!

[MellowOne]

17. My highest priority didn't make the poll

IMPEACH BUSH

[Ian David]

18. That's a stupid poll. Don't take it. n/t
