Poll we never see: Would you prefer cuts in SS and Medicare benefits or ending the wars?
Why does no one ever take that poll? It would seem like a logical question to ask under the circumstances wouldn't it be? But no one ever asks it.

Any ideas why this poll question is never asked?

2. None want to stir the masses up with easy questions and thorny results. Also, it
does not fit the dumbed down model of propaganda.

Well, if the GOP is able to repeal Healthcare, it will in effect reverse the law of the land, and they'll be able to use the same reasoning and tactics (House resolution, suits by individual states and calling it unconstitutional in the Judiciary) to repeal SS and Medicare. Then we'll have enough money for even more wars.

4. Last night on Lawrence O'Donnell 's The Last Word, Lawrence
showed a poll:

90% Democrats, Over 80% Republicans and OVER 70% Teabaggerts
do not want SS Cut . DO NOT WANT SS CUTS.

I have been warning people the GOP on the Hill and Teabaggers
on the Hill are much more Conservative than their constituents.
Our Democratic Conservatives had been examine to see if they
are much more conservative than their constituents.

5. Goddamn liberal media
Considering how much they hate America, apple pie and the baby Jesus, you'd have thought they'd be itching to ask this question. :sarcasm:

6. You know the answer
They don't want to know the truth

Two more polls -
Why are corporations, media hacks and RW politicians attacking employees of the federal or state governments?

Who raided the pension funds of federal, state and local employees?
