The Polls Are "Bewitched!"

[goclark]

Have you noticed that many of the "polls" on MSNBC, CNN , Gallup and the rest are "Bewitched?"

They turn around at the twitch of Rove's nose.

We can not continue to let this ordinary man have such power!

He is simply a Bully Witch and we are way smarter.

Let's review some of his latest "Bewitched Tricks" and out think him.

Please list his TRICK and then give a TACTIC that will have him riding out of his WH cozy chair on a jet broom.

2. Have you seen the picture with Nicole Kidman?

She just moves her nose and it happens.

3. Also

if they don't like the poll results they reframe it and/or just take it down completley. :mad:

4. Absolutely! They bait and switch in less than a second

I also wonder how they monitor the responses?

There should be a written understanding about how long the poll will stay up.

5. After Buxh's speech a couple days ago CNN revealed a poll on TV

rating the "president's" performance.

They mentioned that it was comprised of 300+ people:

49% republicans
26% democrats
25% independents

The results were promising for Buxh:

45% thought he did a great job
27% thought he did a fair job
28% thought he did a poor job

WOW! that's about a 75% positive rating!

The numbers above were culled from my memory, but are pretty close as they repeated the results all evening.

Of course, a fairly balanced poll would have logically reflected a 33% approval.

6. Huum 49% Republicans were polled

Don't they think there may be a little problem with boldly telling us that 49% of the Regressives got to cast their opinion!


Thanks for reminding us about that little tid bit.
