Poll: Kerry would be choice of terrorists

[JoeKSimmons]

WASHINGTON, March 12 (UPI) -- A survey by a Washington pollster released Friday found a majority of those surveyed think terrorists would prefer to have Sen. John F. Kerry as president.

The Andres McKenna Research survey of 800 registered voters shows Kerry defeating Bush in the general election, 47 percent to 45 percent, with 9 percent undecided.

Asked, "Who do you think the terrorists would prefer to have as president," the independent poll found that 60 percent said Kerry while 25 percent said Bush.

[ithacan]

18. This polling group is a Moonie-sponsored right wing outfit!

This group is bullshit, a right wing hit team.

61% ISLAMIC RADICALS
17% THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES FOR PRESIDENT
11% THE MEDIA

10% LESS THAN 3 MONTHS
14% 3 TO 6 MONTHS
18% 6 MONTHS TO 1 YEAR

12% MORE THAN 1 YEAR
32% THE MEDIA WILL NEVER TURN AGAINST THE WAR EFFORT
14% DON'T KNOW/REFUSED

3. Well..I think the terrorists prefer Bush

After all, they pulled off their greatest attack against the US on Bush's watch. And Bush has been great for recruitment of new terrorists. And he screwed up the hunt for Osama.

I guess sometimes the minority is better informed than the majority.

4. Who the f**k is Andreas McKenna?

A little light on this putz would put this all in perspective.

Anyone have any idea?

[Florida_Geek]

8. Part of the Dutko Group all out of DC.

21. Oooh! "Public Opinion Research and Messaging"

[OilemFirchen]

10. Well, for starters...

"Deputy Assistant for Legislative Affairs for President Bush (1989-93)"

Shall we go on?

[OilemFirchen]

13. Yes, please!

"Gary has been engaged as a volunteer in various National Republican Congressional Committee and Republican National Committee projects, including coordinating floor operations at the 1988, 1992 and 1996 Republican National Conventions. Gary also writes numerous articles addressing corporate Political Action Committees, campaign finance reform and lobbying, which appear in national publications."

BTW, this is from Gary Andres' bio. Betcha wanna hear about Michael McKenna, huh?

[OilemFirchen]

17. Michael McKenna

"Mike has an extensive background in public opinion research. In addition to his work with VP Communications, he was a special advisor to the Luntz Research Companies..."

He's a George Mason grad. Oughtta tell you enough. But just in case:

1989 Presidential Inaugural Committee
1989 Political appointment in the U.S. Department of Energy
1993 Governor Allen’s (R-VA) transition team for natural resources and economic development
1993 Staff member for Virginia’s Commission on Government Reform

Coupla gems.

[struggle4progress]

19. Indeedy I do want to hear about him.

<EDIT>: Thanks!

[JPace]

5. The Andres McKenna Research's next question should be....

Which candidate served their country honorably during
the Vietnam War and who likely sneaked out to save his
own hide?

Next question should be which candidate is the champion
of the wealthy and the privileged?

[patdem]

6. UPI was bought by Revrend MOON...it has not 'gone' mad it has been mad!

I am sure it posts normal reports...then suddenly last summer..er uh...suddenly there are reports that are 'required' to sustain the Revrend MOON!!????

[xray s]

15. no kidding?

That is one tentacle of the octopus I didn't know about.

Have to watch out for that one.

(Isn't it amazingly frightful that a bizarre religious cult like the Moonies have infiltrated the Republican party and mainstream media? When the hell are people going to wake up?)

[Media_Lies_Daily]

24. That's the reason Helen Thomas left UPI.

7. Man does this one stink of repukes vomit

[leetrisck]

9. Terrorists love bush - they've gotten

him to do exactly what they wanted done

[ithacan]

11. they are absolutely wrong

Bush is the terrorists' wet dream.

He's done more than anyone to turn the world against the US.

He's done more than anyone to feed terrorists with recruits.

But then again, most Americans are clueless and this kind of story really is nothing more than propaganda for the Bush regime.

[kainah]

12. How much you want to bet

that the bushites paid them to ask this stupid question so they could get this answer and send it out over the airwaves.

[lightbulb]

14. Strange.

I thought the shock and awe crowd was staunchly opposed to Kerry.

16. I found this on the AMR website

(February 2003)
- At least among the American people, the Bush Administration has made its case against Iraq. An overwhelming majority (89%) of respondents believe that Iraq either has or seeks nuclear or other weapons of mass destruction. A similarly impressive margin (82%) believes that the Iraqis are helping terrorists. More importantly, three-quarters of the respondents believe that Iraq poses a serious threat to the safety of the United States.

[prodigal_green]

20. Misleading headline

They didn't interview the terrorists to find out who they would prefer, they asked the American public. What silly stuff.

[KC21304]

23. No one on this earth was happier than Bin Laden when

Bush invaded Iraq.

[jbm]

25. I'm going to get flamed here...

but maybe the terrorists aren't real thrilled with the current situation either. I'm not saying terrorists are great guys who are just misunderstood,or that there is any conceivable excuse for their actions,BUT there does seem to be some motivations for their actions. I don't believe that whoever took this poll actually has any real clue of whom the terrorists would really prefer,but is it impossible to believe that even the terrorists would prefer that the leader of the U.S. be a reasonable person who might at least be able to rethink our position on a few issues?

[seasat]

26. That sounds like it is bordering on a push poll.

Those are illegal. We shoud keep a watch on it to see if they carry it further.

[NashVegas]

28. Borderline?

Hahahahah.

Hey, we could always talk some neo-Nazi site into conducting a poll, and release those results.

[fujiyama]

27. .

:wtf:

This is the most idiotic poll I've ever seen.

[boobooday]

29. What does that mean?

Why would anyone care who the terrorists prefer? Are they voting? What does that even mean? Because he will have them over? Because they think Bush is sooooo much scarier?

It's a stupid question, and I guess they got the stupid answer they deserved.


Aliens prefer Bush

30. Bush or Oprah Winfrey?

Who would terrorists prefer?

[BeatleBoot]

31. Vote for Bush or

Vote for Bush or we're all going to die....

Never mind that the chimp was asleep at the switch on September 11th.
