[CitizenRob]

CNN main page

Quick poll on main page, lower right.

Should Roberts Be Confirmed.

Currently running 77% Yes (confirm the facist) vs. 23% No (I value my rights.)

1. I see the question as "WILL he be..." n/t

[dhinojosa]

5. Yeah I have to answer yes...

Though we disagree on some his decisions he isn't a nazi fuck like Bolton et al.

[Oreo]

2. Read again

The question is WILL he be confirmed... not should he be confirmed.
I agree that he probably will be confirmed but I definitely don't think he should be. Especially after reading this:

3. Still 77-23

The Freepers have been busy.

:kick:

[BooScout]

4. It's not "Should" but "Will" - there's a difference. n/t

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. It says "will be confirmed."

I don't think he SHOULD be confirmed, but chances are he will be.

[realFedUp]

13. yeah, ho question.

what else to be expected from the CNNers.

[ceile]

7. It says "will" Roberts be confirmed. Not "should"

[CitizenRob]

10. I see the english teachers are up early this morning.

<eom>

[fob]

8. Unless it changed the poll question reads "do you think roberts WILL

be confirmed", not SHOULD he be confirmed. I still answered NO, but I think he probably will be confirmed.

[CitizenRob]

12. Don't be a defeatist. We have valid reason to fight this nominee

and saying you're going to lose the battle before it's even begun is a sure way to lose once the fight has started.

[fob]

19. I'm not saying we're going to lose the battle and I'm not a defeatist.

The question says do you "THINK" he will be confirmed. Right now I THINK he probably will, that in no way discounts the fight that he deserves it simply sets up the task ahead.

I appreciate the kick in the pants though, no time for complacency!

[Mass]

9. CNN was to coward to ask this question

The question is: Will he be confirmed, so the answer is probably yes, unfortunately.

[Shoeempress]

11. Done

[Up2Late]

14. 83691 votes is a LOT of Votes, that poll is over, Yes wins.

Plus, it doesn't give any valid (DUable) choices, It just says "Do you think he will be confirmed?"

It's a snap judgment Poll for Prejudicial people. :shrug:

[CitizenRob]

16. Actually the difference is 40,000

Not 80,000.

[Up2Late]

17. Actually, You're Wrong, I was talking about TOTAL Votes...,

...not the difference in totals. :spank:

Here's the latest numbers (note the number I was talking about is now 91117 votes)

Yes 77% 71702 votes
No 23% 21415 votes

Total: 93117 votes

[Moderate Dem]

15. He will be confirmed

by a majority of Democratic Senators.

[Totally Committed]

18. Well, that certainly has been freeped! n/t

20. "Captain, she canno' take it much longer."

My favorite classic Scotty quote.

RIP, Montgomery Scott.

[Lecky]

21. Of course Roberts will be confirmed

Do I want him to be? No
