Ack! Typo?

Twice I found myself part of a survey.

Never again:mad:

Last 2 questions on both were the ones they wanted answers for.

In both the last 2 question were so convoluted and intricate I could only figure they were designed to give the surveyors the answer they wanted no matter what the people surveyed answered.....

When someone starts with the survey thing I start ignoring the results.

Too many of the current surveys are paid for on the grounds of the answer WANTED and not on the truth!!!!!

Gallup is not without credibility.

Martlet, I think everyone will understand you better if they go to your website.  At the top it reads: "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but my biased opinion"

Clearly, the difference between your "biased opinion" and "the truth" is unclear in your own mind.  I can tell you that they are very different.

I'm sorry, next time I'll try to phrase it in a manner equal to your reading comprehension level.  I said:

Those are the dumbest poll questions I've seen in awhile. There are no "right or wrong" answers that can be proven either way.

Please ask your mom to explain that to you.

Any fool knows you can manipulate a poll's outcome by the questions.   If your political views are tied to polls, it's no wonder you're clueless.

If you polled three positive questions regarding iraq, my guess is the results would be opposite.

It's a question of what they want to report.

Oh and Nash!

You can send the ladies you used in your avatar to my place

Nash,

No, not a typo.  I read and listen to conservative and liberal views.  Nobody is right all the time, so I keep an open mind.

Isn't about conservative vs liberal...

Do a search on the Washington Times and Rev. Sun Myung Moon.

[Rude]

Anyone who considers Fox and Friends a real news broadcast is silly, it's a morning show....the rest of Fox's programming ie. Tony Snow, Brit Hume, etc. is fairly good.

[MRPLUTO]

Nash,

I'm well aware of the Moon-Times connection and influence, so this is accounted for when I read it!

Despite the fact that The Washington Times self-stated purpose is to promote "Christianity", there are op-ed pieces and letters that do reflect what many on the right believe.  And I just want to stay in touch with what many groups think.  Also, the choice of stories covered is interesting.

did a search on bush and moon how about this? his daddy is a big moon supporter !!

and i quote.

"I want to salute Reverend Moon, who is the founder of The Washington Times and also of Tiempos del Mundo," Bush declared. "


its gets better: motives?

"A lot of my friends in South America don't know about The Washington Times, but it is an independent voice. The editors of The Washington Times tell me that never once has the man with the vision interfered with the running of the paper, a paper that in my view brings sanity to Washington, D.C"

its a well known fact this is a total lie.: motives?


you want more ?



In September 1995, Bush and his wife, Barbara, gave six speeches in Asia for the Women's Federation for World Peace, a group led by Moon's wife, Hak Ja Han Moon. In one speech on Sept. 14 to 50,000 Moon supporters in Tokyo, Bush insisted that "what really counts is faith, family and friends." Mrs. Moon followed the ex-president to the podium and announced that "it has to be Reverend Moon to save the United States, which is in decline because of the destruction of the family and moral decay."


this guy and his son will do anyting for money and are total sociopathic liars. thank god i and the majority of americans can see beyond their taxes and hate they sell to the highest bidder.


hes your man alright.

And then the Bush Republicans invented something rather dirty...

It's called PUSH POLLING... A Karl Rove invention back in Bush Senior days with Willie Horton... and continued on with Bush Jr.

They don't want answers they want to plant their filthy message into voters minds... give them reasons to doubt the character of the other candidate.

For example... when McCaine (a fellow Republican and war hero) was running in N.C.

Bush Republican Push Pollers called up North Caroliners and asked if they would support "McCaine even though he has an interracial child out of wedlock "

Of course, in sourthern white baptist country... children out of wedlock, especially  interracially mixed children is anathema!

The question is inherently a lie. The truth is McCaine adopted a child from another country... who happens to not be caucasion.

In my book, that makes him a bigger man, than the Racists hiding behind the Bush's Republican party.

This kind of "statement" can't be placed on TV or in ads.. becuase it is a lie... however, person to person over the phone... unless it's recorded... well... it was just a survey.. not the views of the Bush Administration...

As Ross Perot would say: "Republican Dirty Tricks"

Ok Ross Perot was a nut case... even still... his was right about the Bush's form of Politics.
