Americans Agree - BIGGEST VILLAIN OF YEAR = GEORGE W. BUSH (AOL POLL)
Edited on Thu Dec-28-06 03:18 PM by kpete
Results of AP-AOL News Poll

Thursday December 28, 2006 7:16 PM


By The Associated Press

The Associated Press-AOL News poll on who people think were the villains and heroes of the last year was conducted Dec. 19-21 and is based on telephone interviews with 1,004 adults from all states except Alaska and Hawaii. The poll was conducted by Ipsos, an international polling firm.

Results were weighted to represent the population by demographic factors such as age, sex, region, race and income.

No more than one time in 20 should chance variations in the sample cause the results to vary by more than plus or minus 3 percentage points from the answers that would be obtained if all people in the U.S. were polled.

---

1. If you were asked to name a famous person to be the biggest villain of the year, whom would you choose?

-George W. Bush, 25 percent


-Osama bin Laden, 8 percent

-Saddam Hussein, 6 percent

-President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, 5 percent

-Kim Jong Il, North Korean leader, 2 percent

-Donald Rumsfeld, 2 percent

-John Kerry, 1 percent

-Rosie O'Donnell, 1 percent

-Dick Cheney, 1 percent

-Hillary Clinton, 1 percent

3. Rosie O'Donnell? WTF? Why?
Because her defunct rag mag sucked? Cause she's annoying? In that case, why not Gilbert Gottfried?

11. No, probably just because she's an obnoxious loudmouth.
Her gayness doesn't offend me, her rudeness does.

23. I love her to death, and unlike Trump, I don't want her dead,
but yeah, she tends to go a wee bit overboard, but that's why she's on the view! lol

20. She's a woman with strong opinions
that's enough for plenty of knuckle draggers. :eyes:

And I've worked with Gilbert Gottfried. Annoying doesn't BEGIN to describe that bottom feeder! He gets my vote for rudest celebrity, hands down.

5. Poor showing for Rumsfeld.
If he hadn't been forced to resign he could have done much better.

9. The fact that Cheney isn't getting 100% of the vote disturbs me greatly.
He's the Bush administration's equivalent of Darth Vader. :scared:

12. I notice that this is being printed in the guardian
in the United Kindgdom. I am so cynical that I know that none of our lapdogs will touch it, and so I won't even ask if they have.:-( Nevertheless, the results are cheering.

24. Yeah, and Kerry fans, take note as well, if you're cheering him to run in '08
I think Kerry would make a great president, but it's hard change the minds of all those people who are already against him, unfounded as their reasons may be.

Cheney.

21. I take it no one besides me disagrees with this?
Here's my ranking from the list, minus people I dint think even qualify for BIGGEST VILLAIN OF YEAR list.


-Kim Jong Il, North Korean leader

-President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran

-Osama bin Laden,

-Saddam Hussein,


I have plenty of negative opinions and 'names' for Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfield, but I dint subscribe the "Real Terrorist" newsletter when we consider reality.

22. I find it amusing...
...that Bush ranks 1st in both the villain and hero rankings. "Uniter not divider" indeed.
