In fact we had so many of them the entire time GWB was in office, they came out of our noses. The media used them as an effort to embarrass him and his administration, skewing the results in any way they could to do it. Even if they were slightly favorable towards him, they were cast in the worst possible light..
Well, believe it or not, Gallup is still taking polls. It's what they do best, and they have a new one out about the proposed stimulus package.
Here are the results they report:
38% Pass it, as is.
37% Pass it, with major changes.
17% Reject it.
8% No opinion.
This means 54% of the respondents were against it, as it is currently proposed. If this had been a GWB proposal with a GOP Congress, we'd be hearing this from the media ad nauseum. But, it's not GWB. It's BHO and he is still in a honeymoon phase with his loving and supportive bride, the media.
No folks, we still have polls. The media just isn't receptive to featuring them as a lead-in right now. I wonder how they will react, when they turn south against the Obama administration.

Interesting thought....The media will just cheer HARDER, I'm guessing..NOTHING must stand between them and their redistribution.
The media's hammering those "awful rich corporate types who take such huge salaries.." This is ALL a slide into socialism; subliminally teach the people that working hard and succeeding over others is REALLY BAD! And, of course, NOBODY deserves 30 million a YEAR, so our people haven't exactly set good examples, but it's clear......the media's on a rampage.
Funny, they don't moan and groan when Tiger Woods makes ninety million in one year, huH?
Z is right about this decidedly unstimulating bill being used to "spread the wealth." You've probably already read this article, but in case not, here it is. It outlines a lot of the garbage - mostly political payback and socialist wealth redistribution - in Obummer's proposed spending spree.

You'll taste that vomit in your mouth when you are done reading....
Labor expert Linda Chavez remarked last night that hiring people to work for government would not turn the economy around; we generate wealth in the private sector, not through public largess. The more Obama talks about his "stimulus package," the more convinced I am that we are moving exorably toward national socialism. No one should be surprised ... he's been promising this from day number one.
I agree with the axiom that Americans deserve the government they elect. Now amazingly, as Obama bemoans a steady increase in unemployment since November . . . I wonder why. Could it be that the private sector has no confidence in the Obama plan for America? If there is a disaffected private sector, what is the realistic outlook for the immediate future?
Meanwhile, Obama dropped charges against the bombers of the USS Cole. I wonder, given that we are in the period of post-election payback, if in addition to including ACORN in the stimulus package, Obama also seeks to pay off his debt to foreign Muslim campaign donors.
Hey, just wondering . . .

Once they have everyone else (who actually produces something of value) in the acceptable salary range set by the state, you can bet the depressed market will ripple out to athletes. Remember, someday we will want them all to represent the state, like Teofilo Stevenson was forced to do.
Greg I hadn't read that article. Thanks for posting it, I may use it in a post soon.

Mustang, you are such a skeptic. What possible evidence could you possible offer us to persuade us to think this? A few million for various Hamas supporting outlets doesn't mean anything.
Seriously though, there is a precedent for this. China contributed to Clinton's reelection campaign in 96, by 1999 we were introduced to Wen Ho Lee.
To some, it was a contribution. To China, it was an investment (or purchase, depending on how you look at it).
