Please vote in this poll: Was the president's trip to Afghanistan politically motivated?

[Capt. Obvious]

Yes.. he's trying to score points

No... it was part of his job as Commander-in-Chief.

It's currently a landslide for "yes"

[Capt. Obvious]

1. Not many votes apparently

Just voted a few times and brought it down

[jberryhill]

2. Depends on how one defines "political", I guess

[madokie]

3. Here we are

Yes.. he's trying to score points 30%

No... it was part of his job as Commander-in-Chief. 70%

4. It is possible they have their vote buttons reversed in results.

In multiple tries i voted no and yes went up consistently. I voted yes and no goes up consistently.
Give it a try.

But either way, a poll that lets you vote more than once is pretty lame.....

[Capt. Obvious]

5. I just shot up No

All online polls are lame.

But they like to promote the results on their station.

6. Didn't bu$h make a few trips in to the war zones of Afghanistan and Iraq?

It's like they totally forgot what the last guy did!

[Capt. Obvious]

7. Yes, and I don't remember this poll question when he was serving turkey

I want to blow this poll question out of the water. Otherwise there will be one of 2 story lines tomorrow with the results: A. President is pulling a political stunt if he loses. B. President is polarizing if results aren't a blowout.

[Capt. Obvious]

9. Everything is political

But it's the framing of this by a news station I don't like.

(Do what you like.)

10. So what if it is..?

[redqueen]

11. It would be so nice if most people saw through this kind of BS framing.

Ah well.

[Capt. Obvious]

12. Indeed

:-/

[Capt. Obvious]

13. 50-50 now

How polarizing

[goclark]

14. Come on everybody , VOTE!

your votes could do the trick, it's very close now.

[boxman15]

15. I'll vote no, but everything a president does is political in nature

Even if it isn't the primary motivation (like this case), politics play at least a little bit into every decision. That's just the way it is.

[Capt. Obvious]

16. Of course it is. But 8 years ago

I don't remember seeing this kind of poll. Ever.

[treestar]

19. And the Republicans will claim it is political no matter what he does

While they of course can do anything and it's in pure motive.

[Capt. Obvious]

17. 55-45 - Cheap political stunt

[treestar]

18. He's been there before

So I'll say no.

[rox63]

20. 99.9% of everything politicians do has a political component

That said, he also had to sign the agreement with Karzai, and apparently Karzai insisted that it be done in Afghanistan.

21. Less so than Lt AWOL's visit under cover of darkness to Iraq at Thanksgiving...

..or is that too far back in time for the feckless whores in the M$M to remember..

[mrmpa]

22. I just shot "No" up to 51%...eom

[Capt. Obvious]

23. Damn. At 4:30 I shot it up to 51%

Dueling overvotes going on yesterday.

Thanks for voting everyone.

[greytdemocrat]

24. Hmmm...

Another interent poll that means nothing.

[99Forever]

25. Oh MY!

A politician doing something for political purposes?

Will the travesties never end?

Will Issa go for impeachment over this clear high crime?
