funny how the most foolish american is the one who was democratically elected into political power... twice. what does that say about half of the voting population of america? :rolleyes:

I vote for FOX. However, I believe the graphic represented their own poll, while the news report was about someone else's poll. But they were idiots for not making that clear.

Yeah, nice one. You forgot to mention that it's Local Fox affiliate in Phoenix. One spin begets another I guess.

is it? yes, the poll was taken as a tie in to april fool's, but i don't see any evidence that either 1) the poll was fake, or 2) the "winner" declaration is a joke. are you seeing something i'm not?

The local Fox affiliate here is a joke, like Fox news in general.

I like our local Fox here in CA. They're pretty good actually. Most of the time. Fox News, not so much. Some local affiliates are worse than others, and this one is more like the national one. But it is funny either way. Especially considering who the voters of the poll were.

Most of the people I know who voted for Bush in the general election now wish they hadn't.

Britney has the intelligence level of a kiddie. I remember her in Fahrenheit 9/11 and she couldn't answer a simple question about politics.
