    You did, of course, notice that 38% of the respondents considered themselves democrats and 33 % considered themselves Republicans.

    Either way:

    It appears it would be silly for democrats to hang their hat on the so called domestic spying controversy.

    It could cost them heavily.

    I guess this used car salesman didn't read all of his poll before he posted it.

    Hey Carpro, it is not time to remove your foot from your mouth! [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Sure, I did and the poll backs up the assertion made in the subject of the thread. There are many other subjects we may be able to discuss that are covered in the poll, but they are not the subject of this thread.

    Why don't you find one you like and start another thread with that as the subject and stop embarrassing yourself? :rolleyes:
