What is a "fillibuster?"


Recommended Posts

In the grand scheme of things, maybe it's better more people don't vote. From a poll of 1000 adults nationwide by the Polling Company.

 

CLOSED-ENDED QUESTION

2. And, please tell me which of the following is the most accurate description of a "filibuster?" (READ AND ROTATE LIST, ACCEPT ONLY ONE RESPONSE)

 

68% A LEGISLATIVE PROCEDURE

4% A MEDICAL PROCEDURE

2% A HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCE

2% A SPORTS TERM

1% A BREED OF HORSE

1% A TYPE OF SANDWICH

 

* OTHER (VOLUNTEERED)

* Some kind of equipment

* Someone who knocks you out.

* It’s a good thing

* The Congressman

 

21% DO NOT KNOW/NO RESPONSE (VOLUNTEERED)

 

I'll have a fillibuster with provolone, lettuce, tomato, and banana peppers, please.

Are you sure there is a double "L" in the word? ;):doh:

 

Pretty good actually, 3 out of 4 people picked the closest to the meaning?

 

I feared a lot worse?

 

Now if we can just correct the double "L" thingy?

I'll worry about my spelling as soon as you figure out someone remapped your keyboard's "." with a "?". ;)
