  I'm pretty sick and tired of the president allowing Fox to exercise veto power over his appointees, myself.

  This is not a scientific poll
  
  This is, however, a push poll!

  I love on the bottom it says "This is not a scientific poll"...

    I saw this on a previous poll that some Neocon site ran, another 'push' poll, of course. I suspect that they are using an 'external' server to handle the actual poll publication and calculation, and the service that supplies the poll has that on every one they put out (since they are quite definitely NOT scientifically designed).
    BTW, I handled the online poll for the local radio station I used to work at, so I have some experience in working with polls.

      I got a push poll from the GOP...
      
      It asked so many questions like:
      
      Scientific polls must elude the party... no wonder so many of them don't believe in the ice caps melting or dinosaurs that existed with man...

        I've posted three polls on my blog's latest entry (don't update all that often) from the RNC.

        When I received my poll in the mail, I was starting to fill it out, without reading the letter that came along with it. After I read the first couple questions, I read the crazy letter that came along. The party has adopted claims against the liberal media and all these right wing conservative talking points...
        
        I stopped filling out my survey when it realized that no matter what I wrote, it would not matter. I have been pushed out of the party but nut jobs, so I would rather let the party implode...

  Every single Fox News broadcast should have a large disclaimer stating that they went to court for the right to lie during their "news" shows. THEY HAVE NO INTEREST IN TELLING THE TRUTH.

  You would think that if a news station can find these problems then "The Most Transparent" group in the white house should have better vetted them, or do they all have waivers like Valerie Jarret?
