Interesting vote results on MSNBC

Seems in a vote taken on whether Bush should be impeached - approx 87% of the respondants voted yes

[Bill]

Which only proves that hippies love to take polls.

[Linkster]

Well - Bill youve got me there - although I havent considered myself a hippy really for some 35 years

I thought your political party supported impeachment?? I know you dont represent them, but I thought I had read that they were in full support of it?

[Bill]

I'm not sure what you are talking about. If you are talking about Clinton, well, I didn't like the guy, he was smarmy and is largely responsible for Bin Ladens rise to power, but I didn't think impeachment should have been used for that offense (lying under oath) given it's relative unimportance.

I think he should have been censured, and that it somewhat cheapened the idea of impeachment.

Which is probably why a bunch of hippies could so casually vote to impeach the current President on an internet poll.

Clinton should have been impeached.....so should Bush.

[Tommy]

Hey Walrus, Welcome to the board

I read Msnbc. com 2 or 3 times a day and I normally vote in most of the political polls

I love the site because of the way its laid out, Very clean and quick and no consoles unlike CNN and fox

but I find their politics to be slightly slanted to the left
and since the website is slanted to the left I believe they attract viewers/surfers that are slanted to the left and that influences their polls

Why call people that disagree with you "Hippies"? Is it simply a form of anger that you use to try and distract people from the real issue?

True hippies are pushing 60 and I'm not sure that's the general population that takes polls.

[Tommy]

its the normal right wing debate tactics (yawn)

Never deal with the issue or any information thats on the table

attck the source of the information
attack the person presenting the information

[Bill]

If it was a serious poll, and a serious measurement, it would be front page news everywhere.

So, obviously, it's a hippie poll. Oh, excuse me, I left out the latte-hopped-up geeks and the metrosexual yuppies.

Who else goes to the msnbc website?

You know as well as I do that poll was posted out on the net somewhere and every caffeinated hippie geek and metrosexual yuppie online ran to the url and inflated the vote.

People that read on the Internet have a tendency to do more research on issues instead of just watching TV as you've suggested we all need to do.

Since it was an Internet poll it would be skewed more towards people that investigate issues instead of the sheep that gather information from a single news source.
