No. Here's what you said: "Most people want the current NSA program in place and it is still going on while it is appealed." That implies that what most people want is what is being appealed. That's the lie. What is being appealed is WARRANTLESS wiretapping. In all the polls that have asked specifically about WARRANTLESS wiretapping, the majority has been against it. I responded: > > Wrong. A majority do NOT want warrantless wiretapping. And you lied again by citing the Washington Post poll in your reply as if it had asked about WARRANTLESS wiretapping. But it did not, and you knew that. > Evidently the Washington Post thought exactly as I did Yes, I'm sure it thought exactly as you did: Maybe if we just ask about the NSA program in general, a majority will support it, and then we can say "A majority supports the NSA program" and people will think that means they support WARRANTLESS wiretapping. That's the same scam Bush's supporters, including yourself, are running. > and believes the poll significant otherwise they wouldn't have taken it or > published it.

I never said the poll was "flawed" or that I "didn't like the questions," by the way, so that's *another* two lies from you. The poll was fine on its own terms in measuring approval of the NSA program in general. What was *not* fine was your misrepresentation of it as supporting WARRANTLESS wiretapping, which it most certainly did not.
