10 years on (poll)

[ginjawarrior]

last few days i had a thought needing some quantifying

in last decade who has damaged america/ american people worst?

republicans? (ala gwbush)
democrates (ala obama)
conspiracy theorists (ala alex jones)

 

[VTXDave]

I don't see the option for "Our own stupidity for allowing TPTB to play upon our own little fears into voting for officials that will exploit that for their own benefit(s)"

Post 9/11....Patriot was unanimously passed by a Congress led by Dems and signed into law by a Rep POTUS....Your poll is severely flawed. I call it a major FAIL.

Post 9/11....Patriot was unanimously passed by a Congress...

false.

russ feingold was the lone dissenter against the patriot act. and he was replaced in 2010 by a tea party candidate called ron johnson.

johnnyo confirmed that he would have voted johnson if he was able to.

This poll doesn't give me enough options. My being a libertarian I am fully willing to blame both parties. I think conspiracy theorist are, at the very least, opening peoples minds to ask questions and find truths for themselves (step one to defeating ignorance). If you had said Christian terroists rather than Muslim terrorists, my vote would have been all over that one.

 

[tip top toker]

Loaded poll. No vote from me.

 

[ginjawarrior]

yeah well i had made this poll for grown ups on this forum

but your all right i should have added a blithering idiot section...

 

[dukeanthony]

false.

Ron Johnson is a total Fraud.

 

[Carne Seca]

false.

Replaced by the Koch brothers.

Yes, because a blithering idiot, as opposed to an adult, would know that the Muslim terrorists (ala OBL) were Saudi Nationals. You know....those guys who are our allies/friends over there. Because a blithering idiot, as opposed to an adult, would know that OBL et al were funded and weapons provided by the US when they were fighting the former Soviet Union.

Because a blithering idiot, as opposed to an adult, would know that Muslim terrorists attacked us because they "hate us for our freedoms" and most certainly not because we've been meddling in their affairs (including overthrowing democratically elected leaders) for decades.

Better luck next time. I won't even say this was a nice try.

 

[smokebros]

completely loaded questions.

 

[deprave]

Not really an apropriate answer to choose here, not voting, you could add something like 'politicians' and Id choose that

 

[VTXDave]

false.

I know UB. Ron Paul voted against it too. I could have used the term "overwhelmingly" but used unanimous instead as the OUTRAGE and the ROAR to kill completely obliterated any dissenting opinion in my book. Thus I used "unanimous".

 

[deprave]

a patriot act button would be appropriate also.

 

[nog]

from what i can gather the thing that most americans suffer from is MAGNESIUM DEFFICIENCY,

 

[deprave]

well if americans were marijuana plants id say to lower the Cal , if that was the case

Yet it is the blithering idiots who understand why answers derived from loaded questions are worth fuck all on the whole. Fantastic thread!

 

[VTXDave]

I'm not a blithering idiot....I'm just rich and stupid. But I bet I get laid more though.

 

[jesus of Cannabis]

i chose E. they all suck and should be taken to the woodshed

 

[undertheice]

completely loaded questions.

not really loaded, but very short-sighted. ten years? this nation has been on a slow slide for a hell of a lot longer than that. as the powers of the state have grown, the rights of the individual have receded into the distance. both republicans and democrats have gobbled up every morsel offered to them by the electorate. we have fallen into the trap of democracy and ignored the warnings of wiser men. we asked for too much and were more than willing to trade in the pains of effort for the illusions of comfort.

I'm sorry. I honestly thought that anyone who actually voted for your poll was a blithering idiot. I mean Bush started the wars/Obama continued them/Muslim terrorists kill themselves/Conspiracy theorists kill politicians. Clearly I must be completely false for refusing to choose between one of those options as a sole reason for America's troubles.

A true grown up, as you say, wouldn't get so raw assed over people stating that there aren't enough options. I think you got more offended over the Christian terrorist comment, didn't you?
