1. Finally - a meaningful MSNBC survey!

This is the first time I've ever seen an MSNBC survey that didn't have highly contrived, leading answers that rendered the effort meaningless.

[Dawgs]

2. Obama is doing the best? How can that be?

I thought he looked like death warmed over last night. :sarcasm:

[Sparkly]

3. What was Obama's "one liner?" nt

[flpoljunkie]

4. I don't recall one. I voted for Kucinich on this one. Loved his "tall" one-liner!

[Sparkly]

5. That was a great one!!

:hi:

18. Huh?

[Maribelle]

12. I thought that was the best one-line. I roared.

"or get a president taller then me"

[Dawgs]

6. The only one I can think of is when he was asked about how he quit smoking.

And he said something like, "His wife".

That's the only one I can think of; I voted for Biden on that question.

[flpoljunkie]

8. Yes, I liked that response from Obama, but the one-liner that stood out to me was Kucinch's.

[Ethelk2044]

9. My wife was all that was necessary for me to stop smoking (something on that level)

[jenmito]

10. All I wanted from this debate was a straight answer to getting the hell

out of Iraq. Guarding the Embassy or protecting the Military Installations is not getting out of Iraq and ending this goddamn war.

The only thing I didn't like about Obama was his uncertainty and time table on getting the troops out of the Middle East.

Hillary's timed, shrill chortle, is starting to bug me.

Kucinich's answer to end this Iraq mess makes more sense than any of these so-called leaders of Democracy.

17. Here's the full plan

Makes VERY GOOD SENSE:

1. The US announces it will end the occupation, close military bases and withdraw.

2. US announces that it will use existing funds to bring the troops and necessary equipment home.

3. Order a simultaneous return of all US contractors to the United States and turn over all contracting work to the Iraqi government.

4. Convene a regional conference for the purpose of developing a security and stabilization force for Iraq.

5. Prepare an international security and peacekeeping force to move in, replacing US troops who then return home.

6. Develop and fund a process of national reconciliation.

7. Reconstruction and Jobs. Restart the failed reconstruction program in Iraq.

8. Reparations. The US and Great Britain have a high moral obligation to enable a peace process by beginning a program of significant reparations to the people of Iraq for the loss of lives, physical and emotional injuries, and damage to property. There should be special programs to rescue the tens of thousands of Iraqi orphans from lives of destitution. This is essential to enable reconciliation.

9. Political Sovereignty. Put an end to suspicions that the US invasion and occupation was influenced by a desire to gain control of Iraq's oil assets by A) setting aside initiatives to privatize Iraqi oil interests or other national assets, and B) by abandoning efforts to change Iraqi national law to facilitate privatization.

10. Iraq Economy. Set forth a plan to stabilize Iraq's cost for food and energy, on par to what the prices were before the US invasion and occupation.

11. Economic Sovereignty. Work with the world community to restore Iraq's fiscal integrity without structural readjustment measures of the IMF or the World Bank.

12. International Truth and Reconciliation.

16. WE ARE DOOMED!!!

Who ever is answering these polls shows NO consistency or, if they are showing a bizarre form of "consistency" it makes NO logical sense and is VERY dangerous for the body politic.

hillary:

Stood out from the pack (NOT): 24% --- Obama 26

Showed Leadership Qualities: 28% --- Obama 28% *

Most Convincing CANDIDATE: 25% --- Obama 28%

Now we get to the fun stuff:

Most rehearsed answers: 50% --- Obama 17% *

AVOIDED THE QUESTIONS: 47% --- Obama 17% *

Had best One-liner: 21% --- Obama 24%


* so, avoiding questions with rehearsed answers is showing "leadership qualities"???

WE'RE FUCKED!!!
