Wall Street Journal Poll on Bolton's recess appointment

[Terre]

I hate to just pop in DU and ask for you to help out on this poll, but this one definitely needs it.

Was Bush right to appoint Bolton as U.N. ambassador without a Senate vote?

Currently 3,310 votes

48% Yes - Bush was right

52% No - Bush was wrong

If you scroll down a little past the results, there is some discussion there if you'd like to add your two cents worth.

Also, I posted this earlier today, but if you haven't made your opinion known over at MSNBC:

Let's see if we can get the WSJ poll more in line with MSNBC's :headbang:

[Carolab]

1. Done. n/t

:kick: for the evening crowd

[yourout]

26. There is some real deluded folks posting over there.

Bolton is nothing but an excuse for the US to back out
of the UN. He will invariably piss off most of them then the
neocons will label them as obstructionists and want out of the UN
unless they get what they want.

[Terre]

27. Which will make it easier

to begin a war in Iran (or wherever), since he won't have to do the UN "niceties" as Blair insisted on. Whichever the next country happens to be, we'll be definitely on our own.

[Robeson]

39. No shit....

...the only difference between some of those posts, and Freeptardville, was that the spelling was a little better. I thought we had gotten beyond the "He's the President and we should support him even if we don't agree with him" stage. Holy shit. The ability to independently think, for some over there, never got past first grade.

[DuaneBidoux]

48. How long can he now stay in power?

[Terre]

66. Until January 2007

Plenty of time to do damage, if you ask me. Say your prayers that Fitzgerald has a little surprise for him before that.

We can only hope.

[Sub Atomic]

28. 73% no at 7:47 pst

[Terre]

29. That's the MSNBC poll

Don't forget the WSJ poll (first link).

That one is currently at 46/54% No (Bush was wrong to use recess appt)

[Donailin]

42. same numbers here

of course, we should all keep in mind that this is a pro-right publication. The fact that the majority says no is more significant than any AOL poll.

[AuntiBush]

44. Was Just Noticing That Very Count

And to think, it's said our "Au-rit-ma-tic" scores low.

[Rainscents]

[cry baby]

46. done - 54% say no

I think it's weird that you can see the results and there is a button that says "change vote". Do they expect someone to change their mind once they wee the results?

[Hailtothechimp]

56. 55% no. These results are sure to get buried.

If it had been 55% yes, I'm sure they'd share the results far and wide. But disapproval of the Great leader must be swept away.

59. Once in a thread is fine
