NEWSMAX TAKING POLLS TO HELP LIEBERMAN
Now Newsmax, a right wing online "news organization", is working very hard to get Lieberman elected. They have the following news poll on their website. The link is HERE. http://www.newsmax.com/poll/lieberman/?PROMO_CODE=2438-1

Notice the loaded questions like "Do you agree with Lieberman that the war with Iraq was the right thing or wrong thing to do?" Also, there is a picture of the thoughtful/insightful Lieberman on this poll that I couldn't manage to copy onto my post.

I've quoted a few of the best parts of the survey, click on the link to view the whole enchilada.


"Do You Support Independent Joe Lieberman?"




"Vote in This Urgent Poll"

(cut)

"NewsMax.com, one of America's leading online news services, is conducting an urgent national online poll. NewsMax will provide the results of this poll to major media. Additionally, NewsMax's results will be shared with every major radio talk show host in America."

(cut)

"Does Senator Lieberman's loss in the Democratic primary help or hurt Hillary Clinton?"


AND NOW, DRUM ROLL PLEASE ................ the reason that I will vote in this poll (not - shoot me if I do) . . . . . .

Important: When you vote in this urgent national poll, you'll also
find out about our special offer for Ann Coulter's new book!




:woohoo:

2. I've never seen the neo-cons work so hard to elect a Democrat!

It's quite funny when you think about it. Of course, their own Republican candidate is polling something like 4%. Unbelievable. :)

I'd discuss it further myself but this topic deserves sharp-witted sarcasm and nobody does it better than Steve Colbert!

3. Lieberman will side with dems if he wins
thus he can still help us get a majority. His war view stinks but either way its one more seat on our side. Thats how I see it. Its a fer sure seat.

6. I'm not 100% confident he will stay Dem.
*IF* he pulls off a win in November, his ratio of votes will likely be at least 3 republicans for every democrat. It is not out of the question to see his loyalties shift after such an election.

8. I am
I cannot see him going the zell route. I cannot see he voting GOP on anything besides the Iraq war. He is pro abortion, anti-supply side, pro union, etc.

9. You can get books free actually
Right wing "institutes" buy them up by the 10,000 lot then give them away. They do it to inflate the sales numbers and get her in the news. Republican institutes love a RW crackpot.
