41. Still, a petition isn't going to be the miracle cure.

IMPEACHMENT didn't get him out. What do you really expect a petition to do?

Besides, if you didn't want or expect an opinion differing from yours, it probably isn't the best idea to post a poll offering "Dumb Idea" as one of the choices. The idea of a poll is to allow people to express an opinion. Not everyone will make the same selection. When you offer that as an option, be prepared that someone may select it. Posting a poll so that everyone agrees with you doesn't make much sense.
