Greetings Citizen:
We have been doing the Polling Station for about a year and
a half and we have been surprised many times by the answers.
This week was no exception. The great thing about what we do
is the numbers don't lie.
This experiment is very special. Rarely do you find people
across the political spectrum being as civil to each other
as we find on our Blog. Sure, there are a few flames, but for
the most part civility reigns.
Last wee I read where two "friends" got in a shooting match
over the war in Iraq. One of the people was killed. Part of
the community is an experiment in political discourse. When
you have an opinion and would like to share it with other,
drop on by the Blog...but please, no guns!
We have some great questions this week that we are polling.
Political rhetoric is on the increase from both sides of
the aisle and we want to know what you think about certain
phrases that have been used. I think you will enjoy not
just the questions, but the answers.
So make sure you visit to participate.

Are you satisfied with the media coverage of the
war in Iraq?
N = 6,238 Margin of Error +/- 2.5%
....... Yes ...... No .... Undecided
Dem .... 21.8% .... 71.3% ... 6.9%
Ind .... 13.7% .... 79.9% ... 6.4%
Rep .... 12.6% .... 83.7% ... 3.7%
Overall Percentages
16.1% are happy with the news coverage of Iraq
78.1% are not happy with news coverage of Iraq
5.7% are undecided
Herein lies the real problem for MSM (Main Stream Media.)
The media does not do a very good job regardless of one's
political persuasion. This is why the Internet is growing
as a source for news.

Special Political Video Clips of the week
We fixed the issues with the video player and now have two
video clips that help shaped the 80s. Acquino was assassinated
on his return to his country by Marcos agents...and Reagan
was shot by Hinckley in 1981. Both video clips are a real window
to the past. Please rate the clips after you view them.

On Iraqi war coverage
Every time we let the news camera's in they do something
"liberal" like filming us shooting unarmed prisoners that we
"forgot" to go "take into custody" the day before, or blowing
up the wrong building full of women and children instead of
terrorists, or dragging civilians into the street and placing
our feet on their heads while "questioning" them and then
releasing them, or taking a 70 year old grandmother "outside"
before we "question" the children because they think we will
kill her if we don't get the answers we want. How will we
EVER CONVINCE the American people we're there to "help" these
nice people "discover" the virtues of true freedom?�Spiritual
-----------------------
On going to Mars
Yes! Absolutely!
As an example of fiscal myopia: If the economic advisors to
King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella had persuaded them to with-
hold funding of the voyages of Columbus until poverty had
been eliminated and the slums were eliminated in Madrid and
Barcelona, we would still be speaking native American dialects
and subsisting on bison meat. -Eugene
-----------------------
On Mars
We would be better served to spend the billions of dollars
cleaning up our environment, learning to use our resources
more wisely, and investing in solar and other ecologically
friendly power technologies. �Seneca Woman
-----------------------
On China
I see a vast majority of Republicans think China is our enemy.
That probably because China is not a Christian country. Anyone
or any country that does not share their idealistic views they
seem to consider an enemy. -Ron

On China
DON'T TRUST CHINA, AND WE SHOULDN'T LET CHINA BUY ANY
OIL CO IN USA. -Eric

On the housing bubble
What's a Housing Bubble? �Where�s the Box
-----------------------
On Language
notice your questions are taking on more and more of a liberal
slant. This question is a good example. Instead of just asking
the question in plain English, you use these liberalese
sayings like "housing bubble". I know I'm just a dumb,
ignorant midwesterner, but I bet most Democrats from around
these parts also have no clue what the hell it means. -DAVE
-----------------------
On Voting
I am sure that response to this poll is more honest than a
telephone or an in-person poll but is it more accurate? People
who are answering here tend to be more politically aware and
thus are more inclined to vote than the average American.-Wayne
-----------------------
On Voting
I will vote, but I really don't believe the polls are clean.
The victories are dubious. :( I don't believe anyone's vote
really counts. -Wayne
-----------------------
On Vote Fraud
happened in Florida and again in Ohio but the truth never
comes out. If I was to find that elections were rigged I would
never vote again. -Joaquin
