MSNBC, NBC, New York Times, LA Times are all run by left wing wackos.
Don't believe the numbers.
I would say a more realistic number is 55-60%

Like the title says, 90% voted so in this poll. That is absolutely correct. It is not supposed to be the general opinion.

Should we believe the numbers in the same way as the Florida count?

G Dubya has a lot to answer for.

Nothing a bullet wouldn't fix. No need for polls then eh.

I'd love to see the same poll worldwide outside the US.

Re: 90% of 564,000 at MSNBC Want Bush Impeached

Would love for him to be brought down. He has ruined my country and the reputation it once had. I am glad to be gone from all his lying, deceitful, ignorants ways. He is a town idiot and I never liked him from the moment I saw the first election debates. He smirked too much and I said we should not trust him. Well the last 6+ years speak for themselves.

I guess, calling myself, "L.A. City girl" relieves me from having to explain why I am a "left wing wacko" (who uses the word "wacko" anymore?). But instead, I will say that even if you want to make the argument that 55-60% believe he should be IMPEACHED, why would that to be any better. Think about this, should any leader of a nation have more than half of his citizenship disapprove of him?? However, I don't think this matters much to Bush or the coporations that control his leash, as he was never actually elected by the voting populace!!!

Re: 90% of 564,000 at MSNBC Want Bush Impeached

MSNBC is a national news organization. I don't think it is specific to any region, however, if it is run by "left-wing liberal wackos" as someone else so elegently stated I would imagine they're readers mainly consist of "left-wing wackos" Who would 90% think Bush should be impeached.

Now, if we could get Fox News (run by right-wing conservative wackos) to do the same poll and compared the numbers we might be able to get an accurate representation of what people actually think regarding the Bush impeachment business.

And both the Coasts tend to be much more liberal than the center, hence the term "left coast" which is usally said in disdain.

MSNBC is a national news organization.
MSNBC is jointly owned by Microsoft and NBC.

Here we go.

Scroll down to the MSNBC section:

*MSNBC

MSNBC has two owners. General Electric, through its NBC subsidiary, owns half of MSNBC. Microsoft owns the other half. The network is managed by people who report to executives at NBC.

In 2001 Microsoft's CEO, Steve Ballmer, told Reuters that if he had to do it over again he would not have invested in MSNBC. The terms of the deal were never fully disclosed, but it is generally believed to be a binding arrangement that will be in place for some years to come. In other words, although Microsoft may regret its investment in MSNBC, it is probably unable to pull out of the deal without significant financial penalties."

One person's "left-wing wacko" is another's moderate, I suppose, but if you're a right wing extremist I guess I can see why they would be "left-wing wackos" to some.

That said, it's pretty stupid to believe any internet poll. Polls like this are always mass-voted by either Democratic Underground on the left, or Freerepublic on the right, and the results are generally always laughable.

Any voluntary poll is likely to attract those who feel strongly about an issue.

Internet polls are particularly susceptible to people posting "Hey, I've found a poll, come over and vote" in a forum where they know which way the majority are likely to vote.

Bush is thre kiss of death to any republican presidential candidate and any poor kids who need healthcare.
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/...n3408983.shtml

Bush is very rich but not as much a danger as Cheney, why not merge this thread with the Cheny threat? Cheney will transfer to any new Republican government- watch Cheney's Law on youtube.
