6. "It's only wrong during times of war"?
What in the Hell kind of question is that/

And just who are those 1.8%? I hope none of them live close to me.

"Gimme a idiot if we are at war"

9. I am not sure where you get the part about the 'framer'
But I, too, do not believe that we are at 'war'.

We are at 'invasion'.

And 'tragedy'.

19. Especially RIGHT during times of war
If we don't question then, when should we? Any war. Any time. Of course we should question the pres's intellegence then. Hopefully the answer will be good, but it needs to be questioned and looked at especially during war times.

10. In reguards to the 11% I'd have to disagree, the exact opposite is true.
In times of war, when the lives of our military men and women are in peril, it is presicely at this time, that it is important to know whether or not they are being commanded by an babbeling, blathering, imbecile. If I had a loved one deployed overseas, or if I myself were in the military, I would want the security of knowing that the person who sent me to fight here, was a really smart person. I would want to know the person who gave the order to send me into harms way, had exhausted every available recourse to avoid an armed conflict, and that the only reason I was being asked to put my life at risk, was because we, regretfully, were left with no other choice. The person sitting in the situation room truly appreciates the circumstances surrounding me and my men, and is genuinely concerned for the saftey of me and the rest of my unit. I want a leader who will lose sleep at the thought of one of us falling in battle as a result of a decision they made. I want a President who will look at my personel file, look at my name and my photo, and say "Oh God, I've got a son that age", then imagine that it was his child he sending in there instead of me, and then going over every conceivable senario and try to think of any way to reduce the chances of a casualty. I want a leader who, if the force forbid anything does go wrong, will take my death like a personal loss, will shed some real tears, and agonize over having to call my family. I want a President who will actually come to my funeral, to witness the very real cost of armed combat. I want to know that I died for a reason, for a purpose greater than financial gain, national pride, to make people "feel" safe, to lower the price of gas, because this leader has a personal grudge against the leader of another country, or because my leaders advisors say that the country is a pushover, while a three-year-old-in-a-man's-body jumps up and down and says "blow'emup! blow'emup! more bang bangs!" while drooling all over the army man costume they gave him.

12. The question should be "is it wrong to question a president's
insanity".

16. How old is this poll?
It said I had already voted. With only 2224 responses, I'd think it would be new. All I got was results.

18. still 2394 and I still can't vote
Sorry, I used the first total from the OP. Should have used the one on the site. Still doesn't explain why I'm only getting results.

26. That third choice is a real winner
Like, it's GOOD to have a stupid person starting wars or something. Good god, that 1.8 percent is just too stupid to breathe unassisted.
