Why? I think it's a good poll.

Although I voted Yes to all the questions in the first part of your poll, may I suggest something as regards minimizing bias in the questions' wording?

In the first part of your poll, you provided 3 choices of Bush lying, i.e. "Bush lied about X", "Bush lied about Y" "Bush lied about Z" and one last choice of "Bush did not lie". That's 3 in 4 choices where Bush lies! This is a biased questionnaire.

What you want is to have 4 separate choices, e.g.
CHOICE 1
--Bush lied about X
--Bush did not lie about X
etc

Watch it, otherwise Mason Malmuth will come to the thread and make a joke at your expense.

How can anyone else know whether someone else knowingly lied unless that person has said so?

I'm just asking for your opinion based on what you've read and heard. For example, if you've read/heard from a few different sources that haven't yet been contradicted that Person X was told on Tuesday that fact A was true and fact B was probably false but he said on Wednesday that fact B was true then he probably knowlingly lied.

If you are implying I did not set it up correctly or that the layout is not appealing, you should know that I really don't care, although it was the first and maybe last one I will post. I was just making a not too sublte sarcastic point. And the reason I wouldn't seriously post a poll is that I really don't give a rat's ass about the opinions of others who inhabit this forum. I just like to see my own words in print. Same as I like to hear the melodious sound of my own voice. Just like the rest of you humps.

I voted for the 'really dim' choice. Though the poll is for me and not for the benefit of the forum. My favorite poll ever on this forum is one one that asked how many people could conceivably change their minds about the Iraq war given new info and how many could never even conceive of the possibility. Fully half of the people said they would never change their mind. That poll was a sort of an epiphany for me. I'm kind of trying to duplicate that effect.
