Poll question: No matter where this poll is posted, DU or anywhere else, it will not give an accurate result. |
|
I am certain that this poll will not give an accurate result. Study after study has shown that if you poll people after an election a larger number of people will respond that they voted for the winner than the vote count itself indicates. It won't be any different here and judging from many posts lately there should be a large number of votes in the Yes catagories.
Did you vote for George W. Bush in either the 2000 or the 2004 election?
Hail to the Chief.

1. How many people on DU do you think voted for him? |
|
I know a few have admitted to it, but the vast majority-no way!

6. Hmm. I think that's pretty high. I didn't get here til 2004, but |
|
no one in this household voted for idiot son. Maybe that's because we live in TX and saw what havoc he wreaked with Ann Richards.

2. I was living in Virginia in 2000. |
|
Had a new baby and didn't manage to get to the polls in time to vote at all, sadly. Not that it mattered--Virginia went Bush by FAR more than my one vote--but still.
In 2004, we voted for Dean in the primaries, and Kerry in the general. By then, we'd moved back to West Virginia. I actually have photos of us outside of the polling place with our Kerry bumper stickers and our "I Voted!" shirt stickers.

5. If you don't mind me asking, which town is closest to you? |
|
Or hell, for all I know maybe you live in a town. We are about 12 miles from Morgantown, but to the east in neighboring Preston County.

14. I live in Morgantown. |
|
I was born and raised here, but my Mom moved to Virginia when I was a teenager, after my Dad died. I moved back when I was 22, and am currently a student at WVU.
I have lots of family from Preston County, though--mostly in Kingwood, Masontown, and Terra Alta.

|
granted in 2000, I didn't vote at all, I was working on the road and didn't vote...in 2004 voted for Kerry, was a Dean fan in the primaries though.

8. Too young by a month to vote in 2000 |
|
Voted for Kerry in '04.
Stupid 2000. I went to bed thinking Gore had won, wake up to a clusterfuck. For 8 years I wished I'd never woken up that morning.

9. I'm glad to say that I've never voted for a Bush ... and I never will. |

Yes ... as an independent I have voted for Republicans in my 44 years of voting. Indeed, nearly as often as Democrats in the first 20-25 years. (I never voted for a Dixiecrat, and never will.) Never in the last 15-20 years, though. The utter and complete corruption of the GOP is far too extreme to even hold my nose. Where there's no acceptable candidate, even a Green, I withhold my vote in that particular race or vote for a write-in.

11. Honestly, you'd have to be an idiot at this point to admit you voted for Bush. |
|
I mean, the man is a total waste. To say he's a failure truly is an understatement.

12. Never voted for Chimpy |

I wasn't old enough to vote in 2000, but did vote for Gore in my high school's mock election (that Bush won with 83% of the vote :puke:).
Voted for and campaigned for Kerry in '04...
