1. who was doing the polling?

and how did you get picked?

[kittykitty]

7. Don't know, it was a recorded poll and the response was recorded

by pushing 1 for yes, and 2 for no. I don't think the pollster ID'd herself. Don't know how our phone number was picked, except that we live in S. Central PA Bible Belt.

The last question really knocked my sox off!

[AuntiBush]

2. Well,

Who polled ya? :popcorn:

[Fridays Child]

3. That's frightening.

I mean REALLY frightening. He's being set up to take the throne. Fuck.

[1932]

4. So thy think people who like W, think the economy is great, favor shooting

suspected terrorists on the slightest of pretenses, and are opposed to any kind of negotiation will like Jeb?

Interesting.

[kittykitty]

8. yep, that's what they were going. I felt like the last question was a

trick question!

[skylarmae]

5. OMDLIH (OH MY DEAR LORD IN HEAVEN) NO!!!!!!!

This isn't the first time that polls questioning Jeb for Pres in 08 that have been mentioned here. The very thought makes my skin cringe and my senses explode. Oh, hell no....

[Dunvegan]

6. Maybe Cheney is being considered for involuntary retirement...and Jeb's in

Arrrggghhh.

[glitch]

9. Of course it'll be Jebby. Mumsy promised.

And it's not like they have to worry about getting him votes, those are all done in-house now.

[FloridaPat]

10. Not to worry - Jeb said he won't run for president. And you know

how truthful the bush boys are.

[global1]

16. He Won't Have To Run......

Cheney's steps down. * picks Jeb for VP. * gets impeached. Jeb takes over the presidency.

[incapsulated]

11. eek!

The Jebbonator!

[emulatorloo]

12. Please tell me that the American people are not "forgiving" enough to

elect another Bush, especially so soon after GWB. What a nightmare.

[ChipsAhoy]

13. J'08 sign -- my neighbor's front window!

I mentioned this here before, but my neighbor has a big J'08 sign in his window. I didn't even know what it meant until I asked.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

[candice]

14. #5 VOMIT

[FrenchieCat]

15. Damn......

Now I have this to add to my fucked up week...and it's only Wednesday!

Holy SHIT! :wow:

[brentspeak]

17. There are certain politicians who won't be able to become Prez in '08

And they're anybody who's the least bit controversial.

After eight years of hell with Bush, voters -- left, liberal, moderate, conservative, right-wing -- will be in no mood to reelect another president who will seemingly dominate their lives day-in and day-out. When Nixon left office, Gerald Ford was the perfect tonic for a country that simply couldn't deal with presidential headlines anymore. By the time Jimmy Carter's laidback presidency was over, the country was once again restless for a headline-grabbing president. These things go in cycles, depending on who's leaving office.

For the Republicans, that eliminates controversials like Jeb Bush, Bill Frist, and Rick Santorum.

For the Democrats, it also eliminates Howard Dean, Hillary Clinton, and John Kerry (through absolutely no fault of his own, thanks to the smears of the SmearVets).

18. You're assuming things are as they traditionally

have been. Now we have rigged elections (see Florida, Ohio and God knows where else). The Supreme Court annointed Dubya the first time and that was BEFORE he stacked the court with party/personal loyalists like Roberts & Alito (plus that fawning, little lap-dog Attorney General Gonzales) --- ALL just waiting to put their official seal of approval on anything the neocon puppeteers want. We now live in Karl Rove's and Grover Norquist's America where the Constitution means nothing and even if you win (Gore, Kerry) you still don't take office. The cheaters & liars do. Our Congresspeople, except for a miniscule handful, are worse than useless and our Media are paid whores in cahoots with the corporate moneymen and the official neocon line. And they get away with it all because most Americans only really worry about making sure they get to see 'American Idol' and that gas for the SUV isn't too expensive. Bush comes out with shit like "51% is a mandate" and no one bats an eyelash. For years we've read how half the electorate can't even be bothered to drag their sorry asses to the voting booth ---and now Diebold and others have made the whole exercise pointless.
