Oy Vey!!

 

NEW YORK – By a wide margin, Americans consider Rush Limbaugh the nation's most influential conservative voice.

Those are the results of a poll conducted by "60 Minutes" and Vanity Fair magazine and issued Sunday. The radio host was picked by 26 percent of those who responded, followed by Fox News Channel's Glenn Beck at 11 percent. Actual politicians — former Vice President Dick Cheney and former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin — were the choice of 10 percent each.

 

______________

1)   Rush

2)   Glenn Beck

3)   Cheney & Palin (tied at 10% each)

Yes, I get what you're saying..    the other questions were multiple choice as well. This isn't a scientific survey by any means, but I did get a chuckle out of some of it.

 

Which comes closest to your view about DOMESTIC MILITIAS critical of the president and the federal government?

Who do you think is the most influential Republican

Note that the article is from 10/25/2009 and the name of the list is "Here's a look at the 10 (well, 11) most influential GOP politicians"

1. Sarah Palin: The former Alaska governor is the prime mover in Republican politics. Her memoir, "Going Rogue," immediately went to No. 1 on Amazon's bestseller list even though it is not being released until Nov. 17. And Republican operatives acknowledge that if you want to ensure a big and energetic crowd at a GOP event, Palin must be there.

Wow, she's #1 over some "seasoned" Republicans..  

gasp....covers mouth in shock....speechless ...LOL I would have never guessed!

LOL, shocking.. I know!

 

Scary that the "most influential" conservatives are Rush and Beck... 

grannie, to be honest...  I know this isn't a "scientific" poll, but it's a poll nonetheless, and quite interesting and amusing if you read the link to ALL the questions.

OFC its Rush ,,,, Even if he was left off the list, he would have won by write in.  He probably has more Listeners on a given day than GMA has viewers

What??? No Hannity??? I am shocked!
I have a question for those of you who find the poll untrustworthy- who is the most influential conservative in your opinion?
