50 PERCENT. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT WE CANNOT BECOME COMPLETELY ISOLATIONIST, BUT AT THE SAME TIME A MESSAGE MUST BE SENT TO THESE COUNTRIES. 44 12 %

NO. THIS GUY IS A NATIONAL, PROBABLY GLOBAL HERO, AND DESERVES HIS DAY IN THE SUN AND SOME FINANCIAL REWARD FOR HIS BRAVERY. 102 45 %
HOW MUCH ATTENTION ARE YOU PUTTING ON THE POLITICAL CONVENTIONS?
A LOT. EVERY FOUR YEARS, EACH POLITICAL PARTY GETS ITS CHANCE TO CLEARLY DEFINE WHO AND WHAT THEY ARE. IT IS A GREAT AND VALUABLE PIECE OF AMERICAN POLITICAL TRADITION. 75 21 %
PRETTY MUCH. I ACTUALLY WATCH FOR THE LESSER-LIGHTS TO SPEAK. REMEMBER, THIS IS WHERE BARACK OBAMA EMERGED BACK IN 2004. BEFORE THAT, HE WAS PRETTY MUCH A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER FROM ILLINOIS. PAY ATTENTION! 43 12 %
NOT ALL THAT MUCH. I WATCH THE PRESIDENTIAL AND VICE-PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES SPEAK AND THAT IS ABOUT ALL I CAN HACK. 68 19 %
NONE. BOTH CONVENTIONS ARE NOTHING MORE THAN MADE-FOR-TV EVENTS THAT ARE CAREFULLY SCRIPTED AND LAID OUT WEEKS IF NOT MONTHS IN ADVANCE. I SEE BETTER REALITY TV WHEN I WATCH THE KARDASHIANS. 89 26 %

THERE ARE RUMBLINGS PENN STATE MIGHT BE CHANGING THE FOOTBALL TEAM UNIFORMS AND INCLUDE THE NAMES OF PLAYERS ON THE BACK OF THE JERSEYS. WHAT IS YOUR TAKE?
IT IS ABOUT TIME. THOSE UNIFORMS HAVE LOOKED RIDICULOUS, PLAIN AND BORING FOREVER. CHANGE IS GOOD. 21 10 %
IT IS A NEW ERA IN PENN STATE FOOTBALL AND DIFFERENT UNIFORMS WILL REFLECT THAT. NO HARM THERE. 47 22 %
THIS IS MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. PUTTING A NAME ON THE BACK OF JERSEYS WILL NOT AFFECT ANYTHING. 38 18 %
THIS IS JUST ANOTHER WAY PENN STATE IS TRYING TO DO AWAY WITH ANY AND ALL LINKS TO JOE PATERNO. LAME AND STUPID. 41 19 %
I THOUGHT IN OUR POLITICALLY CORRECT WORLD, ESPECIALLY AT PENN STATE, IT WAS ALL ABOUT TEAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND NOTHING ABOUT INDIVIDUAL EXCELLENCE. WHAT GIVES? 33 15 %
I DO NOT CARE IF THEY MODIFY THE UNIFORMS, BUT I WANT TO SEE IF THERE IS A PATCH ON THOSE UNIFORMS TO REMEMBER JOE PATERNO. 37 17 %
ARE THE PENALTIES LEVIED AGAINST PENN STATE FAIR?
YES. PENN STATE LEADERSHIP FAILED MISERABLY AND THE UNIVERSITY SHOULD AND WILL PAY A DEAR PRICE BOTH ON AND OFF THE FIELD. 50 13 %
YES. IN MANY WAYS, THESE PENALTIES ARE HARSHER THAN THE SO-CALLED DEATH PENALTY. CUTTING SCHOLARSHIPS, BANNING PENN STATE FROM BOWLS ARE CRIPPLING PENALTIES. 15 4 %
YES. THE ACTIONS OF PENN STATE LEADERSHIP DID NOT PROVIDE A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE ON THE FIELD AND DID NOT WARRANT THE DEATH PENALTY. 0
NO. IF WHAT PENN STATE LEADERSHIP DID, OR IN THIS CASE DID NOT DO, DOES NOT WARRANT THE DEATH PENALTY, WHAT DOES? 12 3 %
NO. ONCE AGAIN, CURRENT COACHES AND PLAYERS WHO HAD ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SCANDAL ARE PAYING THE PRICE. 191 51 %
NO. I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH MOST OF THE PENALTIES, BUT STRIPPING THE PROGRAM AND JOE PATERNO OF ALL THOSE WINS SINCE 1998 IS OVER THE TOP. 110 29 %
SHOULD THE PENN STATE FOOTBALL PROGRAM BE SUSPENDED FOR A YEAR OR MORE BY THE NCAA?
YES. THE RULES SAY A COLLEGE SPORTS PROGRAM CAN BE SUSPENDED IF THE SCHOOL LOSES INSTITUTIONAL CONTROL. IF THERE WAS EVER A CASE OF THAT, IT IS THIS ONE. 34 13 %
YES. THE NCAA MUST SEND A CLEAR MESSAGE AND THERE IS NO CLEARER MESSAGE THAN TURNING OUT THE LIGHTS ON ONE OF THE BIGGEST FOOTBALL PROGRAMS IN AMERICA. 8 3 %
YES. THIS IS THE UGLIEST SPORTS SCANDAL IN AMERICAN HISTORY. HOW CAN WE EVEN DEBATE WHETHER A TOUGH PUNISHMENT IS WARRANTED? 23 9 %
NO. PENN STATE ITSELF SHOULD HAVE THE COMMON SENSE TO PULL THE PLUG ON THE UPCOMING SEASON, LET THE DUST SETTLE AND START ANEW IN 2013. 5 2 %
NO. TOO MANY INNOCENT PLAYERS WOULD BE HURT UNFAIRLY BY SHUTTING DOWN THE PROGRAM. 83 32 %
NO. THE ECONOMIC IMPACT WOULD BE DEVESTATING TO COUNTLESS PENN STATE-AREA RESTAURANTS, HOTELS, ETC. 10 4 %
NO. THE NCAA PUNISHMENT IS MEANT TO CRACK DOWN ON SCHOOLS CHEATING TO GAIN A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE. PENN STATE GAINED NO ADVANTAGE BY IGNORING THE ACTIONS OF JERRY SANDUSKY. 93 36 %

YES 134 32 %
NO 285 68 %
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF A TREND WHERE PUBLIC SCHOOLS SEGREGATE CLASSROOMS BY GENDER?
I LIKE IT. IT REDUCES DISTRACTIONS IN THE CLASSROOM. 90 31 %
I LIKE IT. PARENTS ARE ALLOWED TO OPT OUT OF THE SAME-SEX CLASSROOM. WHERE IS THE HARM? 39 13 %
I LIKE IT. IT ALLOWS TEACHERS TO USE THEMES MORE RELATABLE TO SPECIFIC GENDERS. 13 4 %
I DO NOT LIKE IT. IT PROMOTES GENDER STEREOTYPES. 9 3 %
I DO NOT LIKE IT. IT VIOLATES THE CONSTITUTION. WE CANNOT SEPARATE RACES, SO WHY IS SEPARATING GENDERS OK? 28 10 %
I DO NOT LIKE IT. THERE IS NO PROOF THAT SEPARATING GENDERS HELPS GRADUATION RATES AND TEST SCORES. 36 12 %
I DO NOT LIKE IT. THIS IS MORE POLITICALLY CORRECT CRAP. 74 26 %
THE ARMY IS PULLING ITS NASCAR SPONSORSHIPS AT THE END OF THIS RACING SEASON. GOOD DECISION OR BAD DECISION?
GOOD DECISION. YOU HAVE TO CUT SPENDING SOMEWHERE, EVEN IN THE MILITARY. NASCAR ADVERTISING WAS A WASTE OF TAX MONEY. 45 35 %
GOOD DECISION. I REALLY WONDER HOW MANY RECRUITS SIGNED UP BECAUSE THEY SAW A CAR DRIVING AROUND WITH THE ARMY LOGO ON IT. 24 18 %
GOOD DECISION. THE ARMY RECRUITED YEARS AGO WITHOUT NASCAR SPONSORSHIPS. 15 12 %
BAD DECISION. NASCAR ADVERTISING WAS AN EXCELLENT WAY TO REACH THE TARGET DEMOGRAPHIC. 22 17 %
BAD DECISION. WHAT WILL THE ARMY DO NOW TO RECRUIT? 1 1 %
BAD DECISION. I AGREE CUTTING SPENDING IS NECESSARY, BUT NASCAR ADVERTISING WAS ONLY A DROP IN THE BUCKET. 23 18 %
WHO BENEFITS THE MOST FROM THE SUPREME COURT RULING ON OBAMACARE?

Justice Roberts decision on ObamaCare has people wondering if somebody 'got to him'... do you think someone did?

JOHN ROBERTS IS AN ENORMOUS DISAPPOINTMENT. (35) 12 %
THIS MAKES WINNING THE WHITE HOUSE AN ABSOLUTE MUST! (112) 39 %
I THOUGHT THE PRESIDENT SAID NO NEW TAXES. THE RULING CREATES A MASSIVE TAX. (17) 6 %
ANGRY AND HOPELESS. (42) 15 %
FILLED WITH GLEE. THEY MADE THE RIGHT DECISION.(8) 3 %
SHOULD JERRY SANDUSKY BE PLACED INTO THE GENERAL PRISON POPULATION?
NO. YOU HAVE TO PROTECT PEDOPHILES LIKE SANDUSKY FROM THE REST OF THE GENERAL PRISON POPULATION OR ELSE HE WILL BE BRUTALIZED. TWO WRONGS DO NOT MAKE A RIGHT. 10 6 %
NO. IT IS STANDARD PRACTICE TO SEPARATE CERTAIN CRIMINALS FROM THE PRISON POPULATION. UNTIL THAT PRACTICE IS CHANGED, SANDUSKY SHOULD BE TREATED NO DIFFERENTLY THAN ANY OTHER PRISONER. 40 24 %
NO. IF YOU WILL NOT DO IT FOR SANDUSKY, DO IT FOR PRISON GUARDS SO THEY DO NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE INEVITABLE VIOLENCE AND PROBLEMS. 13 8 %
YES. JUST LIKE THE CHILDREN HE VICTIMIZED, HE SHOULD FEEL WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE BULLIED, THREATENED, INTIMIDATED AND EVEN WORSE. 47 28 %
YES. I DO NOT CARE WHAT STANDARD PRACTICE IS. A PRISONER IS A PRISONER. IF YOU DO ANY CRIME, YOU SHOULD DO THE TIME JUST LIKE ANYBODY ELSE. 60 35 %
IF THE SUPREME COURT RULES AGAINST OBAMA-CARE, WILL THE PRESIDENT COMPLY WITH THE RULING?
YES. EVEN THIS PRESIDENT WOULD NOT DEFY THE SUPREME COURT. 9 4 %
YES. HE HAS NO CHOICE. STOP BEING RIDICULOUS. 15 7 %
NO. I WOULD NOT PUT ANYTHING PAST THIS GUY. 105 48 %
NO. HE HAS ALREADY PRETTY MUCH SAID OBAMA-CARE IS HAPPENING ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. 91 41 %

DO YOU WISH THE JERRY SANDUSKY TRIAL WERE TELEVISED?
YES 44 16 %
NO 223 84 %
THE JERRY SANDUSKY TRIAL IS UNDERWAY. WHAT WILL THE RESULT BE?
I THINK SANDUSKY WILL BE FOUND GUILTY ON ALL CHARGES. THE NUMBER OF VICTIMS WILL OVERWHELM THE JURY AND MAKE THEM REALIZE THE ALLEGATIONS CANNOT BE MADE UP. 28 12 %
I THINK SANDUSKY WILL BE FOUND GUILTY ON MOST, BUT NOT ALL CHARGES. WITH SOLID LEGAL REPRESENTATION, I THINK IT IS A LITTLE UNREALISTIC TO BELIEVE SANDUSKY WILL BE FOUND GUILTY ON EVERYTHING. 62 28 %
I THINK SANDUSKY WILL BE FOUND GUILTY ON ONLY A HANDFUL OF CHARGES. HIS LAWYER SEEMS PRETTY SHREWD AND HAS ALREADY NOTCHED SEVERAL PRE-TRIAL VICTORIES THAT LEAN IN THE FAVOR OF SANDUSKY. 55 24 %
I THINK SANDUSKY WILL BE FOUND NOT GUILTY ON ALL CHARGES. THIS TRIAL WILL TURN INTO A HE SAID-HE SAID CASE AND TOO MANY TIMES THERE IS NOT ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO GET A GUILTY VERDICT IN THOSE TRIALS. 24 11 %
I THINK SANDUSKY WILL EVENTUALLY STRIKE A PLEA AGREEMENT AND THE TRIAL WILL NEVER COME TO A JURY DECISION. 31 14 %
I THINK A HUNG JURY IS IN THE CARDS AND THEY WILL HAVE TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. 25 11 %

NO. I AM ENTITLED TO IT. LET THE SACRIFICE COME SOMEWHERE ELSE. 179 76 %
PRESIDENT OBAMA SAYS HE SUPPORTS GAY MARRIAGE. WILL THAT HELP OR HURT HIM IN THE UPCOMING ELECTION?
HELP HIM. HIS SUPPORTERS WILL BACK HIM NO MATTER WHAT HE DOES. 24 7 %
HELP HIM. HE IS CREATING ANOTHER DIVIDE AND CONQUER SCENARIO, JUST LIKE HIS TAKE ON CONTRACEPTIVES, STUDENT LOANS, ETC.. 18 6 %
HELP HIM. HE IS MOVING EVEN FURTHER TO THE LEFT AND THAT WILL RALLY THE FAR LEFT EVEN MORE. 8 2 %
HELP HIM. WE LIVE IN AN IGNORANT SOCIETY THAT DOES NOT KNOW AND REALLY DOES NOT CARE WHAT IS GOING ON. 38 12 %
