BBB gets polled re 2004 election: one amazing question

I was questioned for a poll yesterday by a reputable surveying company that contacts me on a variety of subjects. I was annoyed by the lack of intelligence regarding many of questions asked because of the limited assumptions on which they were based. For example, are you a Democrat or a Republican. Whoa, I replied, what about some of the other mainstream party affiliations, such as Libertarians and Greens? Many other questions had such limited options that I wanted to reply none of the above. Why do pollsters make such limited assumptions? I assume its because they are contracted by either Republicans and Democrats. But what about all those independents out there?

One question stood out above all the others: "Do you think Osuma bin Laden already is in US custody? I thought this was amazing to appear in a poll.

My reaction was that if I wanted to let my conspiracy theory thoughts run wild, I would answer yes. But I gave George Bush the benefit of a doubt and replied no---but I'm really suspicious that Karl Rove is in charge of the bin laden search.
