1. AKA... running out of "winnable issues"

so trying for the "all american" non-issue (as if there is a crisis across the country about flag burning) - to try to whip up the supporters. Er, Sen Frist - the cows are so far out of the barn that this is no longer likely to get you of the political petard you, bush and the whole GOP have created for yourselves.

21. Oh of course

2. Who, before your post, would have gone there to vote no on that?

Nobody, I dare say.

[Greyskye]

6. There were a small minority who had voted 'no' when I first saw the poll.

11% if I recall correctly.

It's already been upset! :toast:

edited for correct percentage

3. protect it from WHAT? repubs are masters at framing....

the flag is NOT under attack

it does NOT need protecting

notice no use of "flag burning" or similar phrases

wish the dems could hire frist to frame dems issues :-)

4. Gee, this is another one of those "Vote early, vote often" polls...

A little more careful consideration would prevent the "clear your cookies" problem online polls face...

...I'm just sayin'. :shrug:

5. He sent me an email about this an I told him to spend his time helping

people of this country obtain health care.

What are they messing with this stuff now for? We are in crisis mode and he decides that a flag amendment is of utmost importance?

This, ladies and gentlemen, is the reason the Democrats easily regain power after Republicans have pushed the county down the toilet........again.

7. This is a burning issue

down at the local VFW where the beers and tears flow easy. It is a mystery to me why.

8. Yes 33% No 65%

9. Fuck the flag

[Ilsa]

10. Protect it from what? Does it feel? Have a soul? I'd rather see

Congress and the American people vote to protect the troops, our children, our ports, etc.

Yep, with the port stuff going on, it was time drag out the flag issue again.

[kaygore]

11. voted NO

[Idioteque]

12. Frist's own whip opposes him on this issue...

...Mitch McConnell and Lincoln Chafee are both against the amendmendment. Chafee is understandable but as for Mitch, that's just weird.

[eleny]

13. 71% No

[Greyskye]

14. I'm betting that this poll won't last until midnight

They always seem to get yanked when the numbers aren't going their way. Either that, or they simply reset the counters and try again.

15. you know they're desperate when the start this nt

16. Not winning any more!!!!

I have nothing against the Flag, and I fly it most nice days of the year, but I was taught that when a flag gets tattered, the proper way to dispose of it is to burn it!

What ever happened with that?

Secondly, when was the last time you saw anyone in the US burning a flag because they were mad at the Gov't? I suspect that's what Frist is trying to prevent.

[meow2u3]

19. How about a Constitutional amendment to protect the Constitution?

I'm sick of people who wrap themselves in the flag while they turn the Constitution into toilet paper!

[marmar]

20. Done...

73 percent no....

I support a Constitutional amendment to prevent dumbasses from entering medical school.

:dunce:

[im10ashus]

22. Protect it from what?

It's an inanimate object. What are we protecting? :shrug:

[sam sarrha]

23. there's 55,000 soldiers with head injuries cause they didn't have helmet

liners that cost $70..

our sokdiers need real protection... F*ck Fr*st

[Imalittleteapot]

[baldguy]

25. How about a Constitutional amendment to protect the Constitution?

[im10ashus]

28. I'll second that.

:toast:

[mcscajun]

26. When Republicans are "under pressure" they drag this one out

of the dustbin every damned time.

Nobody needs to protect the flag. There's no epidemic of flag-burning in this country. Anyone seen one burning lately? Anyone burned one themselves in protest of anything?

Didn't think so.

Distract, obfuscate, pull the smoke and mirrors routine every damned time things are getting a little hot for you, Reoubs.

[DemonFighterLives]

27. Fix -it Frist

He must have seen a video of a flag burning. I don't think it has happened for many years unless you count freedom fighters in other countries, er insurgents.
So important mr frist, I wonder how we got by without you. doh

[Nikki Stone 1]

35. Amen, brother!

Though if they're not paying attention to the "piece of paper". why should they pay attention to something else that gets written on it?

[Canuckistanian]

34. Woohoo! 48% No!

In reality, nobody gives a shit, besides the uber-patriot, "love-it-or-leave-it" nutcases.
