21. I'm always leery of those poll questions that ask about "right track/wrong track."

What I WANT to say is the country has veered off on the wrong track - because of the teabaggers and the republi-CONS and their thoughtless idiot "policies" that are ruining this country. HOWEVER, I know that's a trap because it's ALWAYS going to be interpreted as a strike against President Obama. They NEVER ask follow-up questions after that one. I wish they would. Because seems to me it'd be valuable info to know WHY someone thinks the country's on the wrong track or the right one. And I'm damned if I'm gonna give them a point to credit to the GOP!!!!!!
