24. About 33% for it and about 60% against??

Sure doesn't reflect national polls. MSNBC is about the last of the watchable cable shows and it tries real hard during daytime hours to be middle of the road but they get some real ringers in there to represent the repubs. When I start ranting about the nonsense they spout I have to stop and realize that the repubs are still burying themselves. I mean really, Jo the Plumber still getting air time? Does it get any better for the R's?

25. Done but that first answer..........not sure what to think about it

feels sorta like MSNBC is pushpolling.

What do you think about President Obama's 'hard choices' budget?

President Barack Obama is sending Congress a "hard choices" budget that would boost taxes on the wealthy and curtail Medicare payments to insurance companies and hospitals to make way for a $634 billion down payment on universal health care.
How you voted

*
It's the best we can expect right now
*
I think it's a mistake
*
I'm not sure

Just how they phrased the question these words popped out: taxes/wealthy, Medicare payments/insurance companies and then universal healthcare.

Of course these are great hard choices for "us" (no brainers if you're a Dem) but not so much for the 2 percenters.

Why isn't the first answer as blunt as the other 2 choices.

I really didn't want to vote any of their choices but there is no other option except the last 2 answers.

"It's a good idea" or "It's what's needed" or even "Going in the right direction" they add a bit of a negative, defeatist trailer to that first answer.

I'm probably reading(sensing) way to much in this poll but I'm still going to call out MSNBC on a really bullsh*tty poll.


Ed. to close div.

[bdamomma]

26. kick and done

[Laura PourMeADrink]

27. done - but this is NOT good. Fox people probably not near this poll.

[Enthusiast]

28. MSNBC is not

our friend. Never forget that. We need our own network, one as influential as Fox and CNN.

[JenGatherer]

29. done

and what a lousy set of choices. This poll is propaganda.

[hay rick]

30. done.

[we can do it]

31. Needs Major Help

[otohara]

32. Done

needs lots of help

[Top Cat]

33. Done

[scrappydo]

34. Done!! Surprising how many stupid people are still out there....

Apparently they cannot read, they hear instead of listen, and rehash the same rhetoric neocons have been hashing for years. They also seem to selectively forget that it is the Republicans who got us into this mess in the first place! :banghead:

[Enthusiast]

36. The media message is overwhelmingly

pro Republican. Our side doesn't get its message out except on three hours of MSNBC.

[KathieG]

35. Done!
