    YES: 84% - 34,692 votes
    NO: 16% - 6,757 votes

    If Bush would be evil, then this wouldn't happen. Bush would send out some FBI agent to threating him into stop this.

    A CNN Poll, hmm. Take a look at the audience. The funny thing is I see the CNN polls every day, and I did not see this one. Even when someone mentioned it Saturday night. Looks like a nice photoshop job. Of course look at the site where it is posted. Using a CNN internet poll to validate, support or otherwise back up a point is asking Ray Nagan for city planning advice.

    Yo-Yo, what's with your new infatuation w/ Charlie Sheen? :p

    Actually, one of my Bush supporting friends called me yesterday to see if I had heard the Sheen interview. He thought it was pretty interesting.

    So, NICE JOB, CHARLIE! I guess this is better than making shitty movies.

    Did you see the stats on the poll or did you just take it as law?

    When was it taken, how many people were polled, how did they select participants, was the poll conducted independently and was it limited in scope?

    I can see the screen shot just like everyone elese...

    Look at the date on the screenshot...

    It was a "quickvote" poll on CNN... ask them?

    I've already emailed CNN hoping to find a link on their site with the poll, as I haven't been able to find an "archive" of them yet....

    The poll, because of the way it was conducted, is (1) not scientific, (2) not a representation of America and (3) a great case of groupthink.

    I bet CNN could do a poll asking if the Government was responsible for the Avian flu outbreat and 90% would say yes. :D

    I thought so!! :p

    Polls are reliant on the questions asked. A skewed question can heavily influence the outcome of the poll.

    Did anyone see me say it was scientific or accurate of some specific group? No.. I don't think so. It was exactly what I said it was - a CNN poll showing overwhelming support for his stance.

    Here is a good look at just how scientific and respected CNN polls are:
    http://www.cnn.com/POLLSERVER/results/23733.exclude.html

    I think the thoughts from this blog pretty much put CNN and their polls into perspective. http://www.dashes.com/anil/2006/03/12/cnn_your_mother

    CNN is like Comedy Central on crack for the viewer. It's great entertainment, which is why I visit every day!

    Well, you brought it up as supporting evidence in the shared lunacy claims of one Charles "the doper" Sheen, and yourself.

    Why mention it?

    Yes, I am the one championing Charles' vendetta against reality. You're the only one giving the guy any air time. It's quite obvious you have a Sheen fetish. There must be half a dozen threads started by you supporting this lunatic. Whose the stupid person?

    No, you're the one on my case about every post I make, with personal attacks instead of any evidence against anything... you're like a big whiny stalker.

    And no, it's not "half a dozen" threads, if you were able to count (perhaps your mommy hasn't taught this to you yet, it's 2). I think you also meant "who is" or "who's" not "whose"

    So emotional. Relax man, no one is picking on you. Don't run around and make an ass of yourself and then blame it on me. You're doing just fine yourself.

    No, I mean The possessive form of who. Which is "whose".

    After a recount it looks like 3. Sure seems like half a dozen though. Each one more pathetic and boring than the next.
