Guys, I SERIOUSLY need help on this poll.

[trof]

I've never asked before, but I'm asking now.
Here's the deal...
An Alabama newspaper, the Demopolis Times, today published an editorial that says "Siegelman's release was not popular in Alabama".
They offer no polling data or reasons. Just a flat (made up) statement.

And they provide the means to hoist them on their own petard.
At the website, on the left side, is a poll:
"Do you agree with Former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman's release from prison?"

The 'nos' are slightly ahead.

Please just DU the HELL out of this one.
You have my sincere gratitude.

16. You guys are bringing tears to my eyes. I mean it.

And I'm a 66 year old geezer who probably shouldn't get this emotionally involved in a cause like Siegelman's.

But it just pisses me off on so many levels, and I think 'There, but for the grace of god...'.

We can fight like cats and dogs on issues and candidates, but y'all are the most loyal bunch of folks I've ever been associated with.

THANK YOU.

24. I saw that article, but did not see the poll. The print media in AL seems almost

totally corrupt. They jumped on the Siegelman persecution bandwagon and now are having to try and save the appearance of credibility.

Trof, how's it feel to be a "so called person"? Fess up: are you really a robot? An aardvark? A dogwood tree?

You gotta love stupid-ass freepers.

our common enthusiasm and voice on things like this is what's needed to show the extremist right that we can't be toyed with. ignoring these opportunities leaves us vulnerable.
