An NRA vote on CNN - take it...

Done. Current:
Yes, NRA too powerful 60% (21,434)
No, Congress listening to constituents 40% (14,155)

No Ed, not a win/win. Words don't matter to these guys like they do to you. If the "Yes, the NRA is a powerful lobby" wins, they'll say that xx% of Americans think the gun lobby is too powerful. They only phrased it that way to weight it--otherwise why phrase it as an apparent win/win for the group you really dislike?

It would only be a win/win if they were honest.
 
If the pollsters like the numbers, this will be the one we see on the net and the news. If we kick their glutes, say...90% to 10%, nothing is ever heard from that poll again. Typical media BS. The sheep may drag us down and hold us for the wolves. RKBA!

HAVE MORE FUN WITH A .41
 
Took the poll and post a message on fifteen other sites too. We need to spread the word as far and wide as we can everytime this kind of stuff comes up.
 
If you're talking about the 'Quick Vote' about halfway down the page, it is now concerning a health care issue. Am I missing it, or was the 'window' that small?

CNN got the answer it needed. "60% of Americans polled say the NRA is too powerful."

Time for the Brady Bunch to eat our lunch again.
 
Anyone else remember it hasn't been that long ago that *they" were sighting the low membership numbers of the NRA to make their point that gun owners were a very small minority?
Damned if we do and damned if we don't.

We live in a time in which attitudes and deeds once respected as courageous and honorable are now scorned as being antiquated and subversive.
 
Gunslinger:

Exactly, I have found that most CNN polls are biased to the degree that there is no answer that cannot be used to further their cause - an example of this being a poll that was on there not too long ago, some of you may remember it it was something like this:

Are you afraid of being shot at work:

Not very concerned_______
Somewhat concerned_______
Very concerned___________

No matter what you answered they could still say you were concerned about workplace violence as there was no option for not concerned at all. So they are basically telling me that I HAVE to have some concern. They can stick their propaganda up their a**es, along with everything else they stick up there already.
 
Why don't they ask if soft-money lobbyists are too powerful? Why don't they ask if there's too much power at Archer-Daniels-Midland, which has been getting a $300 million a year subsidy for years -- why? To bring ethanol to market as a substitute for gasoline (yeah, sure). Why don't they ask if CNN itself is too powerful, the way they slant and edit the news?

Every special interest group has too much power, and they stole it from the ordinary citizen. Vote Libertarian!
