Incredible New Poll: 90% Want Bush Crimes Investigation

Air America conducted a poll that asked a question raised by Time Magazine's Joe Klein: "Should Obama pardon George W. Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, and Dick Cheney?" The idea: a pardon would brand them for crimes without the agony of a trial.

Air American's aren't buying the Klein solution. They want the whole lot thrown in jail. No trial necessary! A whopping 90% of our 9000 respondents want to see Bush and Company pay for their crimes with either hard time in the pokey or hard time in the pokey after enhanced interrogation techniques. (Shocking!)

In an interview last year with Philadelphia Daily News reporter Will Bunch, Barack Obama said something that seemed to signal the presidential hopeful might prosecute George W. Bush and his staff for crimes committed during the eight-year death march also known as the 43rd presidency of the United States of America.
It was one of the many moments that whipped up my own private Obama fervor. But did he say what I thought he said? Not really.

"I would want to find out directly from my attorney general--having pursued, having looked at what's out there right now--are there possibilities of genuine crimes as opposed to really bad policies."

That doesn't cut it and Obama needs to listen to the people We need some people put in JAIL We need JUSTICE

3. Meaningful poll or online poll?

I can't tell from that article.

5. It's coyly written, but a survey with a representive population wouldn't have 9K 'respondents'.

With a number like that it must be a click on survey.

Meaningless.

4. It's not a survey with a representive sample. It's a totally self-selecting survey. nt

7. True, but scientific polls suggest the number is about 60-70%.

In a Free Country, with a newly elected President with a mandate and the nation crashing into fiery ruin from the agony of felonies and treasons committed by the previous administration of tyrants.

But America is not a Free Country, just with a lot of pretend window-dressing to keep the sheep docile, and less of that is required every day.

Gallup, an Infoganda Unit trying to reconcile proper polling techniques with Plausible Deniability and the need to contribute their piece of Bushiganda, which is, of course, that there is NO MANDATE for a Bush Investigation.

This is the new flavor of Inverted Totalitarianism and it's Palusible Deniabilty. The information is out there, though no one butthe most dedicated can ever find or see it, and the small thing by Gallup, has a headline that is demonstrably contradicted not only byt he contents of the article, but by history.

Prior to Nixon's Investigation, less than 30% of Americans were for it. Guess, in criminal matters of a High Crimes and Misdemeanors nature, in Free Countries, even 30% is a mandate.

But even 90% or 99% wouldn't matter, not in America, not with America's docile Subject Populace who will mak GREAT concentration camp guards and State Informants, once the Bushies get to that phase of their program when they pick up right where they left off.

Of course, it's all absurd, to those who can SEE. But most cannot, as they are comfortably surrounded by a cocoon of false reality as strong as anything the Nazis ever devised for their people.

And most people, as history shows conclusively, just go along to get along, no matter who is in charge, be in Mahathma Ghandhi or Adolf Hitler.

Don't fault the Nazis for not being as subtle as Bushies. First off, they didn't need to be, due to the circumstances of the time. Second, their understanding of marketing, advertising, perception management, and large-group statistical psychology was inferior by far to modern Bushies.

6. If only the American Subject Populace mattered in the least in the governance of the Empire.

Not in the country we live in, an Inverted Totalitarianism.

THIS is where we live:

90%, 95%, 99.9999999%. It's all the same in the Inverted Totalitarianism.

The Rulers will say NO. The TV will explain why.

30,000,000 Bushie Hannidiots who will soon morph into the stormtroopers they've always dreamed of being, except for the ones who don't have the personality and inclination for the dirty work, those will stay home and cheer and deny like the Germans imported to live outside Auschwitz.

And 270,000,000 will do what they have always done. Go along to get along, no matter who is in chage. Because SOMEONE has to be in charge, don't they? And the rest go along to get along.

Nothing changes. History is a wheel.

8. 10% of Air America's audience wants Bush* to get off?

I find that hard to believe..

[hlthe2b]

9. Actually, I'd expect an Air America poll to be nearly 100%

Heaven knows I agree, but why is this so "incredible?" AAR tends to be exclusive to thinking people (and thinking people tend to be liberal)...;)

10. What is so incredible about an online poll that is in no way representative of public opinion?

Does anyone take online polls seriously?
