Where in the HELL is the backlash from the Impeachment Poll?

[Tyler Durden]

MSNBC STILL has the damn thing up, 300K+ votes showing 86% "Impeach the President,"

SO WHERE THE FUCK IS THE SCREAMING?

WHERE are the pundits trying to make a buck off of this like they did off a certain "blue dress?"

I am so tired of living in "Bizzaro World."

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

1. Is it a scientific poll? n/t

[evirus]

2. i wasn't aware that politicians respected anything scientific

yet they chose to respect scientific polls?

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

3. Obviously they have some use for them...

...otherwise they wouldn't have their own internal polling operations.

[Tyler Durden]

5. No offense, but WHO CARES?

A 4 question "push poll" designed to support Bush gets 275K+ responses to the ONE anti-Bush Selection.

HELLO?

This should have been a walkaway for Bush. It wasn't. It was a LANDSLIDE for IMPEACHMENT.
This should have drawn Bush supporters like flies to shit. It didn't.

This was an enormous backfire. Scientific, my ass.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

22. Why do people care about online polls?

I've never understood this.

[Tyler Durden]

24. A FREEPED push w/5K responses, NO.

But 300,000+ responses? To a 1 of 4 push poll that was an obvious Birthday Card for THE PIG BUSH?

THAT is significant no matter HOW you slice it.

[Bill McBlueState]

33. having more respondents doesn't make it any more reliable

What makes a poll reliable is the manner in which the respondents are chosen, not the number of them. If a sample is biased, making it larger doesn't remove the bias.

[Tyler Durden]

36. Ever used MINITAB?

I used Six Sigma/MINITAB on this, and it looks significant to ME.

You can't "FREEP" 300K 1 of 4 responses. It's ridiculous.

[IselaB]

37. Dude...

It's an unscientific poll. I know you want it to be meaningful, but it isn't.

Scientific polling, from what I've seen, puts the number who support impeachment somewhere above 40% but less than 50%. Those are meaningful numbers, assuming the polls were done correctly. This poll is meaningless.


Come on. Get a grip.

[Pierzin]

4. Nobody in Power is leading the charge, just us lefties

that's why there is no screaming.
Also, if you check out the Nation, where they tell us how 90% of the media is owned by 10 companies, that might tell us something. It is just amazing how reviled this president and this administration is around the world. and yet here in Amerikkka, the MSM treats him like freaking royalty, and still gives him "presidential" press, when he acts like a fourth rate dictator.

My local paper, the Seattle PI, actually ran a front page story last week saying over 50% of Americans thought Iraq had WMDs. Even though that has been proven false over and over and over. Something fishy there...:think: :think: :think: :eyes: :scared:

Rush Limbaugh was right. There is a bias in the Media. It's a neo-con bias led by our friends at PNAC!

[Lin]

7. 1st 10 words of your post say it all-"nobody in power" behind

impeach....JUST the PEOPLE. Sad isn't it? This bastard! Won't he EVER meet accountability? Ever!?

[madokie]

6. I think we all are tired but it is the best I can do, so now I must work

to change it.

[Tyler Durden]

8. I got gassed and beaten for Vietnam...

...I've just about reached the point where I can to it again.

WHEN is the DEMONSTRATION??? No more fucking "rallies." It's time to occupy buildings, march in some streets, make some NOISE.

[Bassic]

9. I never got beaten, but gas sure is a bitch, ain't it? nt

[Tyler Durden]

10. I never washed the denim jacket I wore...

...in Ann Arbor when we blocked the freeway.

You could smell the tear gas in it for months. I had to store it in a garage.

It was for me, a badge of HONOR to remember when the bruises faded.

[Bassic]

11. I got gased in Québec City at the FTAA summitt in 2001

It burned like hell, but I'm rather fond of that memory.

[Tyler Durden]

12. The gas grenade landed about 2' from me...

...my eyes were blood red for days. I had to be led off the freeway by someone back farther in the crowd. I never got her name, obviously I don't know what she looked like. I wish I could have thanked her every year since then.

[Bassic]

13. In Québec City some of the cops were aiming the damn things

at people instead of just lobbing them into the crowd. I know a guy who had symptoms much like yours, along with a nasty bruise.

[Tyler Durden]

14. State Cops swinging batons...

Lightweight cherry. They swing FAST and bruise large areas. I was lucky...I fell to the ground and took most of it in the thigh and upper arms; a shot to the fore arm or a rib would have broken a bone.

All this time the SOB was swearing his head off, screaming.

[Bassic]

15. Yeah I know the type.

I've never regained all my respect for police officers since that day.

[Tyler Durden]

16. Funny, I don't blame them anymore...

...sort of like blaming Joe Sixpack because Jeb, Diebold, and Rhenquist stole the 2000 election.

I've known some since, and they've become a little more human in my old age.

[Bassic]

17. I guess it's all too close in my memory.

These guys were really going at it with the teargas and the rubber bullets. They also arrested a bunch of people whom they kept in a local jail for a few days without allowing them to take a shower more that two at a time and denying tampons to a women who was having her period. I'm very aware that not all cops are asshole, but it seems that they are not immune to mob mentality either.

[Tyler Durden]

18. Believe me, I can understand.

They were "PIGS" for MANY YEARS in my vocabulary, but 35 years is a HELL of a long time to hold a grudge...

Except against NIXON...

OR Bush.

[Bassic]

19. I was born after Watergate

But sure as hell know what you mean regarding Bush.

[madokie]

21. It still is to me

[madokie]

20. I thank and respect you for that. It was You guys/gals who stopped

the Vietnam war not us soldiers and everybody needs to know that, imho
Yes it is time for us to get loud and be somebody. Somebody who has reached their limit to this bull shit that is going on today, perpetrated upon us by this Criminal mal-mis-administration.
Peace
:hi:
I have another Hero

Edit to add: All of you I thank and respect immensely

[Tyler Durden]

23. You want to hear funny?

That one was the first demonstration where I was SERIOUS about it.

It took a previous sit in at City Hall watching others get hit and gassed to make me realize that Gandhi was right and you had to stop the machine by sticking your hand in the gears if necessary.

It makes me PHYSICALLY ILL that I now have to eat shit by the shovel in CORPORATE AMERIKKKA making CARS to get my children and wife healthcare, and feed and clothe them.

Payback for past life sins, I guess.

[madokie]

26. as I get older the more I realize that the battle is never over

once you enter you will always be in.

[Tyler Durden]

28. It will NEVER be over.

To REST is to LOSE.

The Day The Nazi Died
Chumbawamba

we're taught that after the war
the nazis vanished without a trace
but batallions of fascists
still dream of a master race
the history books they tell of their defeat in 45
why did they all come out of the woodwork
on the day the nazi died

they say the prisoner of spandau
was a symbol of defeat
whilst hess remained imprisoned
then the fascists they were beat
so the promise of an aryan world would never materialize
so why did they all come out of the woodwork
on the day the nazi died

the world is ridden by maggots
the maggots are getting fat
they're making a tasty meal
of all the bosses and bureacrats
they're taking over the board rooms
and they're fat and full of pride
and they all came out of the woodwork
on the day the nazi died

so if you meet with these historians
i'll tell you what to say
tell them that the nazis never really went away
they're out there burning houses down
and they're peddling racist lies
and we'll never rest again
until every nazi dies

[madokie]

29. You got it bro'

[McCamy Taylor]

25. RNC thinks this issue HELPS them by getting their base to the polls

to keep Congress from going Democratic.

That is why we see Impeachment continue to have a low level presence on the radar but never rise to the level of a top story. Dont you read the News Media script?

[Tyler Durden]

27. You know, if EVERY Democrat got out and VOTED...

...FOR DEMOCRATS, the current one-party rule in this country would be so overwhelmingly DEMOCRATIC that the Republicans would go the way of the Whig, The Know-Nothing, and the Bull Moose parties.

[Jacobin]

30. Silly. "high crimes and misdemeanors" means a blowjob

Not treason, or starting wars based on lies, or spying on americans without warrants, or any of those unimportant things.

Oh, and the MSM is here to tell us all that 24/7

[Tyler Durden]

31. Fine. Then how about this?

[cigsandcoffee]

32. How can politicians "scream" based on an online poll?

They'd be ridiculed by the press and their peers, and deservedly so.

[Tyler Durden]

35. I'm tired of the "online poll" excuse.

You tell me that any of the POLLSTERS have any integrity and I will laugh in your face.

As stated above, a 5K response on a poll, ignore it.

A 300K 86% response on a 1 of 4 "push poll" is statistically significant. I used MINITAB. I do Six Sigma.

[cigsandcoffee]

38. Well, be tired of it all you want.

The point still stands. Politicians won't act on an online poll result, because they're just too easy to debunk.

If impeachment is to be the order of the day, an online MSNBC poll isn't going to be what gets it going. IMO, anyway.

[Balbus]

34. It was an online poll...

Get a grip.
