How dumb can you be? Heres one: On a scale of 1 to 10 how would you rate President Bush's handling of the war against terror?
Heres another: On a scale of 1 to 10 how would you rate President Bush's overall performance as a leader?

Oh, wait, youre looking for that ellusive "liberal bias" right? Jezus, the right has gone so far right that anything moderate is seen as left/liberal. Sad if you ask me.

The questions that was asked. :D

Overall, do you approve, disapprove or have mixed feelings about the way George W. Bush is handling his job as President? (IF APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE, ASK:) Is that strongly (approve/disapprove) or somewhat (approve/disapprove)? (IF HAVE MIXED FEELINGS OR NOT SURE, ASK:) If you had to choose, do you lean more toward approve or disapprove?

Did I say I did?

Did I not specifically talk about media crated polls? Did I say I fully dismissed the "findings"?

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:

CsG

What the hell do you have that backs up your opinion that this is not a valid poll?

Woot - avoid the question - your specialty.
Yeah, right. You're nothing if not shamelessly dishonest.


"The media clearly creates "news" with these sorts of polls -no? If not - then who is creating the poll news?"

CsG
Your question is irrelevent. It is yet another of your thread-crapping duhversions. 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.

CsG


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...

TaB

Seeing them from reality. ie: not blinded by hatred.
Try some critical thinking for once instead of just lapping up the story the media wants to tell.

CsG

So instead of believing the bad news, you choose to beleive what? From where are you cross checking these facts?
Reading the bull sh!t off your toilet paper agian?
This is what im talking about.

Im going to call you out on this one. Since you are an expert in survey design would you care to elaborate--rather than talk outta ya ass that is.

call me on what?

CsG

Are you really this dense? You claimed that this poll may contain "Bad samples and even worse questions." You gonna back that up, or are you going to continue talking outta your ass when a worthy news article/poll does not coincide with your faith in Bush.

Apparently, this does mean quite a bit....

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.

CsG


Agian proving my point. Show me proof, stop yelling conspiracy if you have nothing to back it up. Im going to start being just as hard on the lefties. SHOW ME PROOF!

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.

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

I was not aware one could be lobotomized more than once?

: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...

CsG

Ok..... um.......
First where was the last time someone accused you of being honest? In fact ive never heard of anyone being accused of being honest, ever.
The part about you attacking yourself is just plain comedy. No one attacks their own logic, purely by the virtue that they wouldnt have said it if they knew it was wrong. That was a pretty dumb statment, that honestly i dont get. Its like saying I'm credible because i think I am. ooOOOooooo.
Good job there big guy.

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

Edit to fix your formatting

Yes it creates the news as surly as it creates the polls. Though both were somones idea, meaning someone wanted to do a poll and put it on tv, does that make the poll wrong?

If we could see the full sample info and the list of exact questions - then we could see it's validity.

But then why not gather the facts on this poll after you posted your "opinion" instead of ranting on and on about it not being valid. Why not wait for the facts, or even read the links I posted about this poll before you go on and on about it not being valid ? ... why do you have to troll so much?

I did not claim it was not "valid". That's where you and the others are arguing against something that doesn't exist.
Asking for demographics and actual poll questions is not claiming that they aren't valid. But hey - twist away! :roll:
