That's rich coming from you. You're one of the most hate-filled people here. You attack anyone and anything unflattering to your Boy George.


Try some critical thinking for once instead of just lapping up the story the media wants to tell.
From the guy who instantly, mindlessly rejects this poll solely because it doesn't support his Bush faith. Classic cognitive dissonance. Get well soon.

It's only a flesh wound. ;)

Anyone want to start a fund for "Cad's lobotomy"?

I just hope there will be some left once we take the crap out. :p

Too late. It's been done already and the operation was, by all appearances, a complete success.

To clarify, you're only talking about the lobotomy, true? The second half of Tab's diagnosis remains.

If this poll is anything like the Washington Post-ABC News poll a couple days ago it doesn't mean much. Bad samples and even worse questions.

But hey- you Bush haters can lap up the "news" created by these "news" organizations if it helps you sleep...

Ah, did I strike a nerve?

Here's a :cookie: from a severe Bush hater for you to enjoy. Have fun! :D

Nope - just calling them like I see them. Seems I hit the nail right on the head though from what I'm seeing...

CsG

Yea, like you see them in that distorted and confused mind... or whatever is left of it...

Were you blinded by hatred during the Clinton years, "csg"? Or were you the only Republican in America excercising "critical thinking"?

No. No, I was one of many who were excercising critical thinking.

Any comments Cad?
Yep, the lower his numbers, the less "political capital" he has to force his agenda. Bad news for the Bush faithful, great news for America.

Which is exactly why this "news" was created. But hey, it's no wonder you can't see that - you lap up their "story" without question.

:roll: If you had an honest bone in your body you'd know that you were being dishonest...but hey that's not something people seem to accuse you of being - honest.

If what you said was true, then I'd attack myself -but that doesn't happen so you are obviously lying(or atleast willingly ignorant about the facts) about me attacking anyone who says anything bad about Bush.

:roll: Where exactly did you get where I rejected the poll "solely because it doesn't support" my "Bush faith"? WTF is "Bush faith" anyway? I clearly based my opposition to this "news" based on the fact that media polls are notoriously slanted to get the story they want to tell. The other poll a couple days ago was a great example of this and IF(which you seem to have not read) this one is the same - it should be dismissed as tripe too.

I hope someday you can control your hate and rage... someday...

If the media wants a certain outcome - would they not pick a sample that reflects that? Would they also not ask questions they want to use to create a better "story"?

Wake up bowfinger - your hate has lulled you into an irrational sleep.

a uniparty congress/whitehouse is bound to become unpopular as they show their unwillingness to compromise with those few members of other parties. the circle jerk gets tiring after a while.

One by one, Americans are snapping out of their trance. Bush's flock is dwindling, his so-called "political capital" evaporating. Those are the facts. Deal with it.

Or they could be tracking public opinion as they alway have, we have polls in Canada, done by the same companies you have in the States, and they tend to be accurate...not showing favoratism to a political party.

Many organizations find it benificial to track public opinion, I'm sure Republicans do their own internal polling as well. This left wing media agenda is getting old... especially after the blatent support of the current admin during the last while.

Call them like you see um aye? Im tired of lefties and righties who claim," Bad News" every time they hear somthing they dont like. Like the Bible thumpers who pick and choose which peices of the Bible to believe. You want to claim partisan, overly polerized news scources wrote that, and they're uncredible? Fine go right ahead, but please pray tell, what new sources are credible. Fox?
Maybe we should make a list, because both the left and the right here love to think they can comment as to the validity of things they know little to nothing about.
And by the way CAD nice job 4 reapeating what engineer said right back to him. Very clever realy!:roll:

Why no - no I didn't. However I did say that it doesn't mean much when it's a media created poll to have "news" - especially when the sampling and questions are bad.

But hey, you guys can just lap it all up without question...:roll:
