    A Poll

    Just out of curiosity - given Cheney's popularity here in the states I think it would be interesting to find out exactly how people really do feel about him potentially biting it. I think a poll question something along the lines of:

    Do you think the United States of America would ultimately be better or worse off if Vice President Cheney had been killed?

    I would just be curious what the numbers would look like. I think it would be interesting to quote one of the many many calls for "liberal" executions, such as Gaffney's idea that congresspersons should be hanged for disagreeing with President Bush or Coulter's idea that certain Supreme Court justices be poisoned, and ask poll questions as to whether people believe that the United States would be better off if some of these things occurred. I know it would be in bad taste but I think it would be interesting to see how the majority of the public would respond.

    If it is about considering what is best for America and people answered honestly what do you think the final count would be? What would your answer be? No need to post it obviously but it is an interesting question to my mind.
