[bj2110]

[wtmusic]

3. No option for "go to prison" nt

[TahitiNut]

6. ... nor for "Tarring and Feathering"

:shrug:

[wtmusic]

8. Nor "Drawing and Quartering"

ah, the good old days...

[jobycom]

13. Ahhh

:rofl: :spray:

[TahitiNut]

21. That's reserved for "Braveheart" ... and the regime has neither.

[LiberalEsto]

4. Let's ship him to Iraq

and let him loose there

[Jo March]

5. I notice there is not a choice for prison

What a stupid poll. Liberal media my ass.

[ihaveaquestion]

9. My thoughts exactly! WTF?

[Jo March]

37. Well, they can now SPIN the results

The new meme for the media will be, "Most Americans would prefer that Rove resign instead of having any other action <implying prison> taken against him."

They'll make it look like we don't want him in jail when the option wasn't there in the first place!!

:mad:

[Helga Scow Stern]

7. Too bad questions are insufficient.

I am not sure whether to vote for "he should resign" or "his security clearance should be revoked."

Even if he resigns, he is likely to still have plenty of clout. I wish it asked if he should be tried for treason.

[Bumblebee]

11. Here's Milbank's online response as to whether R will be fired

Washington, D.C.: What odds would you give at this point that this will lead to Rove's firing?

Dana Milbank: My predictions are often comically off, but here goes: This is Karl Rove's town, and the rest of us -- President Bush included -- are just living in it.

[wake.up.america]

14. He should work as an uarmed convoy security guard in Iraq

[H5N1]

10. Where is the option 'he should go to prison for a long long time'?

[kenny blankenship]

12. Why no option for "Jailed as a flight risk" ?

[Jo March]

15. Don't forget to COMMENT ON TODAY'S QUESTION

I did. Here's what I wrote:

"There was no choice for "prison." Was that just an oversight on your part or do you really not believe that someone who outs a CIA should go to prison? Outing a CIA agent is pretty serious and should be punishable by prison time."

[alfredo]

38. I said they should hold him to the same standard the Republicans

held the Democrats back in the 90's.

[Jo March]

39. Ha!! You are so right!

They should treat him like they treated Clinton!!!!

[alfredo]

45. they never will

[Warren DeMontague]

16. No option for "Jail": Why is MSNBC soft on felons?

It must be 'cuz he's not a real criminal, unlike, say, THIS lady:

[GumboYaYa]

34. I was looking for the sent to prison option myself.

I have been amazed at how many people have been assuring us that he committed no crime or that proving a crime was committed is virtually impossible.

[Eugene]

17. Resign? He should be fired and prosecuted.

:kick:

[Reformed_republican]

18. hmmm

Anyone know where on that Poll I can choose: Jailed as a Traitor to the United States of America?

oh btw first post. :hi:

[Buns_of_Fire]

28. Welcome, Reformed!

:toast:

(Personally, I was thinking more along the lines of having him buried in the sand up to his neck, honey poured on his head, and having a colony of fire ants released in the immediate vicinity. While having Jimmy/Jeff dance the Watusi, wearing only a boosh*/cheney campaign button, tantalizingly out of reach. But, hey, that's just me. :shrug: )

[notadmblnd]

35. Hi

and welcom to DU:hi:

[newyawker99]

44. Hi Reformed_republican!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[wallwriter]

19. One word: Gitmo

Has there ever been a bigger or more obvious threat to US national security?

Can you imagine if a middle easterner of any stripe horked up that kind of information? They'd be in lockdown before you could say "habeus corpus." Except that there actually would be criminal charges...

[Booster]

20. Now, that was fun. Kickity kick.

[joanski0]

22. 81% now say he should resign. n/t

[Gothmog]

23. done

81% says he should resign

[DoYouEverWonder]

24. Resign Immediately

Could you imagine if anyone on Clinton's staff every did anything like this?

[Steve L]

25. Done

[shelley806]

26. Please rate this story also...only 2.5 out of 5 rate. Kick and nominated

What do you think should happen to Karl Rove? 10055 total votes


Nothing 7%


His security clearance should be revoked 11%


He should resign 81%

HE SHOULD BE FIRED, SENT TO IRAQ, TRIED AND CONVICTED AS A TRAITOR....

[Tommymac]

27. Divisive Poll - 2 Negs and a Positive

Resignation is not enough - unless his security clearances are revoked (preferably because he is convicted of a crime) he can still operate as a paid consultant.

[name not needed]

29. Gitmo.

[lectrobyte]

30. 10845 resonses, 7% Nothing, 11% Revoke Security, 81% Resign!!!

[TankLV]

31. These guys are always squawking about the need to follow the rule of law.

He has committed TREASON.

The penalty for treason is death, is it not?

I wish them nothing less than the letter of the law.

[dzika]

32. done

[SalmonChantedEvening]

33. done

81% after 11137 votes :kick:

[napi21]

36. Who do you think responds to these polls?

Most of the time, I'm pleasantly surprised to see pretty strong Dem leaning responses, not only MSNBC, but CNN too. When I responded to this one, there had been over 11,000 votes, and 81% say he should resign.

So who responds to these polls? Somehow, I can't feel confident that 81% of Americans think Karl should resign, yet we always complain about cable news and many say they don't watch.

[alcibiades_mystery]

40. Between "Resign" and "Revoke Clearance" it's 93%

That's about as definitive as a poll gets (yeah, I know it's an online poll, but still...93%?!?)

[SoCalDem]

41. Send the little traitor to Guantanamo.. He can join the soccer team

could stand to drop a few pounds though, so he only gets ONE serving of fruit :)

[dogday]

42. How nice of them to give Karl more choices

Nothing 8%

His security clearance should be revoked 12%

He should resign 81%

[me b zola]

43. done

What do you think should happen to Karl Rove? * 12937 responses


Nothing.....8%

His security clearance should be revoked....12%

He should resign.....81%



The longer chimp hangs on to him, the more the general public will throw suspicion on the entire cabal.

[B Calm]

46. No option for DEATH PENALTY?

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

47. He should be forced to watch porn starring Barbara Bush for 18 hrs a day.

I can't think of anything more ghastly. Well, maybe with Wayne Newton singing the background music.

[tibbir]

48. I kept looking for the 'Fire him' choice.
