You forgot to include the all-imoportant phrase, "In my opinion" in your post.

One-sided polls are indicitive of a small, closed mind, as well is inmaturity and decreased critical thinking skills.

The greed of corporations, CEO's, etc plays a part. Many are crumbling. These corporations are controlled by people.

Yes, the government can take partial credit, stemming back decades. Bush furthered along the process, no doubt.

To place sole blame on one entity is stupidity.
What? You mean that abortion is not the most damaging thing to America?

OP might get a better response if at least there was "Other" as an option. Otherwise, the slim tendril of "fair and balanced" is lost.

This poll was a response to this one, which was much more stupid, as it listed Putin, Michael Moore, liberals, and Muslim extremists (question: who hates America more?).

I notice that you haven't commented there about how shallow that poll was, even though it was posted yesterday. Is there a reason for that?

It's funny that you create a poll which satirizes the stupidity of some of the people on the right, then some other people on the right take it seriously and say things that are equally if not more apt responses to the original. At the same time, they don't leave comments decrying the other poll. And to top it all off, they accuse you of having ideological blinders. Priceless lack of perspective, but I suppose that's what makes one a conservative in the first place.

It's Bush.

Cheney is the brains of the operation, obviously. But Bush signs on the dotted line for each of his catastrophic foul-ups. The buck rests with him. And history will always remember him as the worst of the worst.

Aye, Roger, 10-4 and yeppers. Bush the idiot. Worst. President. Ever.

Bush has all but assured our financial destruction for at least a generation, something Al Queda never could do with its idiot teenage suicide bombers.

Bush's FBI in DC got field reports that strange men from Arab lands were taking lessons on how to fly planes, but not how to take off and land them. Those reports from FBI field offices were IGNORED by Bush's FBI.

George Bush, king of the idiots.
