1. McCain on waterboarding: "I believe that it is torture, very exquisite torture."

:kick:

[Rex]

27. Wow, now that is scary.

[Contrary1]

47. "I hated the gooks. I will hate them as long as I live."

Which in McCain's bizarro world must mean that deep down he truly respects them.
Certainly, his captors must have been proficient in the use of "exquisite torture".

What a dumb ass.

[Justyce]

2. Done. nt

5. PUH-LEESE

These polls are scams to bolster TPTB. They are UNSCIENTIFIC, buggy and designed to "prove" the POV of the media outlet that posts them.

[tachyon]

15. TPTB? What's that, The Poll That Bites?

:rofl:
Anyway you're right...people who vote in these things are unlikely to be in a position to influence policy anyway (including me for sure) ;-)

[AZBlue]

18. True - usually. But my newspaper relies heavily on them.

The Arizona Republic(an) actually quotes these polls in many of their articles and many of their columns. So they actually do matter here.

[Karenina]

37. That's exactly the point.

It's a media scam.

[ClayZ]

6. Shame!

[Jim__]

7. Done.

[patrice]

8. That poll question might just as well be: " Do think it is acceptable to increase the likelihood

that U.S. troops will be tortured if captured?"

[troubleinwinter]

24. EXACTLY!!!!!

[troubleinwinter]

28. I just emailed them & asked that they run that in their next poll. HAH. I live in AZ.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

9. Done. Sad statement on Amurika going on here at this poll.

[walldude]

10. I think that people living in the desert shouldn't be doing polls

about water.

[tachyon]

16. Maybe that's the -problem- ... they don't know what it is!

:rofl:

[Desertrose]

40. Problem is there are too many transplants from states that

take water for granted. Anyone with half a brain living in the desert figures out pretty damn quick how important water is.

Just sayin'.

[annabanana]

11. I wonder how many of those voting for toruture just got back

from church?

[housewolf]

12. Done - we DU'd the same poll on CNN yesterday

All day long it was 44% for waterboarding, 56% against. Couldn't believe it. The # of responses kept rising but the percentages stayed the same all day long

[Irishonly]

13. Too bad all of the people voting yes can't get a first hand demo

of what water boarding is. The MSM shows the pouring of water and not the holding the head in water or dunking in a toilet. What has happened to the morals and values that once defined us?

[williesgirl]

14. done - 39% "no" - how sad for all of us. rec'd

[Bobbieo]

17. Are the interrogators looking for the truth or misinformation to

feed their propaganda machines. Chances are that the tortured will tell the interrogator exactly what he wants to hear. If it were me being tortured, I would!!!

[lonestarnot]

19. Arizona rednecks are disgusting breeders.

[AZBlue]

20. Just when I thought we were making inroads and turning this state bluer...

...I see shit like this. It's discouraging.

[lonestarnot]

26. You thought too soon.

[DesertRat]

30. It's also discouraging to see...

how much the AZ Republic kisses McCain's @ss everyday! :puke:

[AZBlue]

31. I know!

I didn't think it was possible, but it seems they are becoming more red, not less. I hate that "newspaper"!

[DesertRat]

36. Same thing with our local NBC, Channel 12

so obviously slanted toward McCain and disparaging toward Obama and Clinton. We don't have a chance in Nov.

[AZBlue]

45. They're owned by the same parent company - Gannett.

They often mirror each other because of that.

[Desertrose]

39. They will always support the candidate from their own state.

I am sure it would be a big economic boost (somehow) if McCain gets elected...a big deal for Arizona anyhow.

AFAIC, I can't imagine anything worse than McCain winning. Ugh. The man totally creeps me out...and that's in addition to all the crap he's pulled on the Navajo/Hopi here.

Can you say batshit crazy with a bad temper to boot?? Meet John McC *shudder*

[orleans]

21. done. the freeps are all over it. how freakin sick is that? n/t

[yellerpup]

22. Done.

44. Done

[HCE SuiGeneris]

33. There are Liberal pockets of people here?

Alas, I am still searching for them...

[depakid]

35. Oh, there will be -once the economy collapses

and drought pressures force people to re-think their priorities....

[Desertrose]

38. Actually there are.....

Tucson definitely has some and N. Az where I am.

Phx...prolly not so much.:shrug:

[AZBlue]

46. There are some of us - more than you'd think.
