Are you volunteering for / donating to either candidate?

We all know that opinions abound aplenty here on A2K, but I was curious - how many of you are actually out there volunteering for either candidate? Canvassing, leafletting, registering voters, fundraising, any of that? I know only about Soz ... who else?

Your questionaire demonstrates the basic flaw of polls. They tend to ask leading questions.

And they tend to evade specific questions that address moral and ethical issues that might tend to make a particular candidate look bad.

"When the Iraqi terrorists murder children and wound our soldiers does it increase our justification for being there without a 'broad alliance' that includes a broad base of Arabs, Turkish Muslims and Persians?"

I would vote "no" on that one. Would you?

"Do you think our continued presence in Iraq without a broad alliance of people who speak arabic and pharsi will lead to an ultimate victory and success?"

I'd vote "no" on that one too.

We can get rid of these incompetent Republicans fast enough.

I didn't enter anything into your questionaire because I don't care for the questions. [..]

Here's a questionaire question I'd like to see:

"When the Iraqi terrorists murder children and wound our soldiers does it increase our justification for being there without a 'broad alliance' that includes a broad base of Arabs, Turkish Muslims and Persians?"

I would vote "no" on that one. Would you?

Here's another tough one:

"Do you think our continued presence in Iraq without a broad alliance of people who speak arabic and pharsi will lead to an ultimate victory and success?"

I'd vote "no" on that one too.

Lets see some harder and better questions, please.

You have no "all of the above" or multiple option choices.

I discuss, volunteer, and donate. There is a lot at stake.

No, I guess I can't actually change the poll questions or add options anymore ... well, that makes sense I guess, otherwise you could retroactively make people have voted for things they didn't vote for.

If I could have changed something I would have added one option - "Yes, I'm both volunteering and donating". If that's you, just vote for having volunteered - I personally consider that a 'deeper' contribution than just sending money (unless you're, like, George Soros ;-)).

As for both volunteering and "discussing the issues with friends and acquaintances", well that's kind of self-evident, isn't it - anyone who's a volunteer will also most likely discuss stuff with friends. So just go for the "highest" that applies to you ...
