WND Poll: When Chimps Go Wild

Feb. 19, 2009 8:06 a.m. • 7 comments

Question: What did you take away from the attack by the pet chimp on a human?/WorldNetDaily

It was a freak event - one you would expect to see in the wild but not from a pet
It was a tragic inexplicable event - no one is to blame
The 9-1-1 operator did a great job working with a hysterical caller in a highly unusual situation
All we can do is pray for the poor woman injured in this unfortunate attack
Don’t try to make a pet out of a chimpanzee (More below)

Question: What do you think about Schumer’s remark that Americans don’t care about pork?/WorldNetDaily.com

He’s right - this is an emergency spending bill for an economic crisis
He’s right - “pork” is just a biased term used by those opposed to government investment
He’s right - great civilizations require great governments to lead boldl
Americans are opposed to pork-barrel spending everywhere else but they want their own representative to bring home the bacon
In a sense he’s right because man’s nature is covetous
His wording was careless but if Americans really cared they could put a stop to pork-barrel spending
He’s wrong - Americans are simply frustrated there’s no way to end pork-barrel spending
Schumer also doesn’t believe Americans have Second Amendment rights
Charles Schumer lives in a parallel socialist New York universe - he doesn’t have a clue what Americans care about
It was an arrogant lie from a man who happens to occupy a safe senatorial seat

Feb. 12, 2009 8:05 a.m. • 15 comments

Do you believe Democrats when they say they’re not planning to regulate talk radio?/WorldNetDaily (WND news report here)

Yes, the Democrats are the party of truth - they have no reason to lie
Yes, Democrats are incapable of lying
Yes, but it’s an idea that needs to be pursued
I hope they don’t mean it - the Fairness Doctrine is something that’s desperately needed
Some Democrats will push for it - indeed, they already have - but it won’t go anywhere

Do you think Obama is looking to nationalize the U.S. economy?/WorldNetDaily

No, and the suggestion is absurd
No, only right-wing nutjobs or conspiracy theorists would think that
No, but he should nationalize the economy. It’s a sure-fire recipe for success
No, while some of the measures he’s considering seem extreme, they’re necessary in this time of turmoil
No, he’s merely doing his best to rescue the national economy after George W. Bush broke it
No

WND Poll: Fairness Doctrine

What do you think of the Fairness Doctrine?/WorldNetDaily poll

It’s needed now more than over
Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity have no business setting national agenda. The doctrine is necessary
Obama’s right. We can’t get good stuff done if we listen to Rush
It’s the only thing that will bring more diversity to media
It’s the only thing that will bring less diversity to media
