[Nimrod2005]

1. My answer is: YES

[Inland]

5. AT LEAST Yes. Maybe "Hell Yes". nt

[DesertRat]

2. I hope a yes vote isn't "start a new war"

What do you believe is needed to "refresh and re-energize" the Bush administration?

Yes 50%

No 50%

:evilgrin:

[xultar]

6. That's what I'm sayin.

[bigwillq]

3. Jeez

Doesn't any one proof read that stuff? :shrug:

[DS1]

4. At 50/50 right now

:shrug:

[bigwillq]

8. Who are these people

voting in this poll?
Don't they realize the question doesn't make sense? :shrug:

[KC21304]

16. I voted so I could see the results. 70% yes 30% no.

:silly:

[jamesinca]

17. it has changed from 50/50

it is now 70% yes and the remainder is no

[stillcool]

7. needed to refresh?....

I can't imagine anything one the yes side,...nor anything on the no side...what no maybe?

[Kutjara]

9. Makes about as much sense...

...as anything else related to Dobbs.

[Rude Horner]

10. ROFLMAO!!

Good job, CNN. Nice to see someone proofread's the stuff before it gets on the website! :rofl:

[jedicord]

11. Well, ya know - that poll admits it's "not scientific".

That's the way the Bushbots like it.:rofl:

[ArbustoBuster]

23. But isn't there a difference...

...between "unscientific" and "completely illiterate"? :)

I suspect whoever wrote that poll was a graduate of a No Child Left Behind program.

[rocktivity]

12. Maybe they're planning to fill in the choices later.

:eyes:

[otohara]

13. Lobotomies for All

in the executive branch

[patdem]

14. I said 'NO'..not just NO but HELL NO...is needed by for and of

this administration...Of course it makes absolutely no sense..and I stop cookies so I never get the results on the CNN poll!

[C_U_L8R]

15. I'm with the NOs

NO amount of anything will inject life back
into the decrepit and decaying Bush regime.

[davhill]

18. A big NO

Is what the administration needs.

[KurtNYC]

19. They are just trying to implant that question in our heads

They don't give a crap what our answers might be.

The question assumes that we WANT the admin to be refreshed and re-energized. Typical CNN -- they write all their headlines as if they were writing for an audience consisting of Cheney, Mehlman and Rove. Now they write their poll questions that way too.

[footinmouth]

20. I voted "NO"

and I don't know why.

[Journeyman]

21. I had to go with "No." These bastards have had "Yes" said for far too long

Just say in 'No.' ~ Nancy Reagan

[Fridays Child]

22. Here's a screen cap for posterity. The next question...

If it takes a hen and a half a day and a half to lay an egg and a half, how long does it take for a monkey with a wooden leg to kick the seeds out of a dill pickle?

Yes
No
:P

[Rude Horner]

36. STILL laughing and coughing from your question!!!

:rofl:

[Fridays Child]

37. An oldie but goody. Glad I could spread the cheer.

That one never fails to crack me up, too. :)

[TheFarseer]

24. Oh no, Freepers won't know how to freep the poll

Which answer "supports our troops" by covering for bush's incompetence and corruption? Or do even they give a sh*t about covering for that idiot?

[warrens]

25. Yes = "Mass executions" No = "Mass horse-whippings" nt

[DesertRat]

26. Yes 68% No 32%

[madmunchie]

27. I copied and pasted the QUICKVOTE and e-mailed Lou

and asked if they had hired anybody for the Bush Administration to work for CNN and did they put this post on thier site. I then asked if anybody proofreads this stuff, then I said that that the funniest thing is that people answered this!

[0007]

28. How can any normal thinking person even respond to that

idiotic poll is beyond me.

[sam sarrha]

30. it is a hidden pole to see how many rational people there are..

[0007]

31. Now I get it! Thanks.

[sam sarrha]

32. i applied for a job and went thru several interviews then had to take a

test.. i showed up to the California fair grounds where they had 3 big buildings giving high school proficiency tests.. 4 tests to a building for a week.. i guess they tested over 30,000 in Stockton alone.. lots of unemployed people; in the valley.

later i heard of the results of a survey that revealed 4 out of 7 people who graduated high school in the previous 17 years.. since Reagan. could not read well enough to fill out a job application.

they started teaching phonics, reading and math again.

you never know what the hell is going on anymore..

[C_U_L8R]

34. is the poll half empty or half full ?

apparently a lot of folks say yes ...to anything

[havocmom]

29. Probably has to do with Bolten suggesting people quit now

He used the re-energize phrase. Dobbs poll playing on the silly effort to fix the sinking poll numbers with a bit of personnel change among the West Wing lackeys.

http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/04/17/bush.shake.up.ap/index.html

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Signaling a possible shake-up among President Bush's senior advisers, the new White House chief of staff told top presidential aides Monday to expect changes that "refresh and re-energize the team." He invited anyone who is thinking of leaving before year's end to do so now.

Joshua Bolten, who took over the top staff job late Friday, did not ask for anyone's resignation in his first Monday morning staff meeting with the president's senior aides, presidential spokesman Scott McClellan said. No one stepped forward to say they would leave, either, McClellan said.

But Bolten has Bush's full authority to make changes to the president's staff, which has had a low turnover rate, with many aides serving him for years. Bolten already has had closed door meetings with some top advisers and plans more in the coming 10 days or so to talk about their roles going forward, McClellan said.

McClellan said Bolten told the aides to expect "some changes and adjustments"after he's gone through the process of talking to the staff.

33. Choices were supposed to be "staff or policy"

instead of "yes or no" (Lou just read off the question)

Wonder if they catch the error before they count up the results?

[havocmom]

35. He mentioned at end of show -poll results tomorrow due to problem

Guess somebody on his staff reads DU and saw that the poll didn't show on web site the way they had intended.

[IndianaGreen]

38. CNN listened to you, larissa

They changed the poll to:

QUICKVOTE

What do you believe is needed to "refresh and re-energize" the Bush administration?

Staff changes

Policy changes

I would have added hare-kiri as an option.

[CTyankee]

40. (sigh) I voted for policy changes

because it is the only option in this poll (other than not voting, which I considered). Can't believe it that so many voted for staff changes. Given what we've seen with this Bush crew, one set of incompetents goes in after the old set leaves. It's just fresh troops with the same game plan that never works, and probably isn't meant to work in the first place!

[IndianaGreen]

41. Most of them should be behind bars for war crimes!

Rumsfeld is a war criminal, but he also followed the orders of Bush, who is the biggest war criminal in American history.

Would we have asked of Hitler to shuffle his staff?

[Vidar]

39. Can't do it : "Nails in coffin" not an option.
