2. O.K. someone explain how we "DU" that one.....
Honestly. Yes could mean that we're voting for Bush because of Kerry's supposed shady medal thing or it could mean we're voting for Kerry because Bush was a chickenhawk.

And no could mean the converse in both cases.

Sometimes the notion of DU'ng every poll gets a bit silly especially when the poll itself is an idiotic question.

3. answer from your heart
does it matter to you or not? I'm not trying to force your hand one way or the other. It matters to me that Bush used his influence to ditch service. Maybe it does to you too.

6. Oh, it completely matters to me...chances are....
We're on the same page. But I think this is just one of those polls that isn't worth "DU'ng" because it can be spun either way to benefit whoever they want it to benefit (My guess is Bush).

10. It will be spun for Bush.
The inference (to me) is that military service isn't an issue because AWOL's a loser if it is. The only reason I voted was to try and take some wind out of their 'spin-akers'.

4. Maybe this poll advertising is a bad idea
Because it give really offensive web sites hits, and they show those hits to advertisers, then make money.

And either way, does this poll really mean anything? The only thing advertising it does is drag people into that nasty right wing web site.

5. This is a tough one to vote on, because of the wording...
"candidates' military records" could be interpreted to mean the kind of utter crap that the Swift Boat creeps have been pushing.

So, I'm gonna pass on this one.

7. There is no right answer to this question.
No, I would vote Kerry anyway.
Yes, it disgusts me and I will vote for Kerry.
<same will go for Dimson's supporters>

Results will be meaningless. Abetter polling question would be:

Has the SVT ads made you more or less commited to voting for Bush? That would be enlightening....
