specifically worded in this fashion by Fox News. If 99.99% of all
respondents polled answered “Yes”, I believe then that Fox News
would have claimed that Bush has a 99.99% favorable rating. Anybody
responding “No” to the question (as worded) would be considered an
unpatriotic troop hater. Even with Mr. Rumelhart’s insertion of “personally”
into the question, the anticipated results would not change. “Do
you personally . . . “ is redunatant <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

people “want” peace, love, and harmony throughout the world (in

doubt it. 99.99% of the nation’s people may want world peace.

would have been much better off wording it "Do you personaly want the Iraq
plan President Bush announced last week to pass?" instead.<br>
