Perhaps but Id say a basic test on voters would be a great idea. You know like how to read a simple ballot like in FloriDUH and a picture ID would be a fantastic suggestion.

That's very funny, you're the one who posted the picture of black Jamaican police beating black Jamaican civilians who were on the ground holding their arms up, as some lighthearted comment, right? It was similar to this comedy: Francisco de Goya | The Third of May - El Tris de Mayo

I'm sure you knew I was referring to the brilliant "Who would you rather have a beer with?" tool, which helped many not-so-brilliant millions decide their vote in 2004.

Sounds kind of like lunatic righties looking for a birth certificate that was already authenticated to get Obama kicked out.

What an obviously bunkum poll.

This is what you kids have been reduced to?

Heh.

I actually feel sorry for you. Scared to death of black people. Must be a horrible existence.

Sanrene, your pathology needs medical attention.

Hmmm....

Well lets see. We have a poll where several of the questions contain "facts" that simply aren't true and asks the person questions based on those "facts". The pollster then claims that folks didn't know the right answers.

DUH!!!!!
What kind of results would a thinking person expect of such a silly poll.

There is an old saying in the computing field "Garbage In, Garbage Out".
This poll is a case in point.
Only an idiot gives any credence to this poll.

While I already knew that Zogby was conservative, this little stunt (and especially the insulting press release which claims it wasn't a push poll), has insured that I will never participate in another Zogby poll, and I will tell every one I know about the day Zogby finally showed his true colors.

I hope it was worth it to Zogby. He just kicked himself in the balls.

Didnt Zogby's mom ever tell him, "Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas?" Hahahaha

I've already emailed Zogby and let them know how I feel.

I am going to send emails to C-SPAN and Reuters, as well.

It's a crime to vote for someone with or who had cancer? How about a known self admitted cokehead? What if he ODed while at a summit meeting or his judgment was impaired like his drunken fathers?
