3. Even a broken clock is right twice a day
If you dig enough, ask the right questions to the right crowd, you can always find some poll that will back up your position. Typical of the gophers - they bitch and moan about the polls, how they don't matter, blah blah blah - until they find one they like. Then it's "See, the polls vindicate our positions".

4. There is no such poll.
Sorry, there just isn't. Internet "polls" that can be freeped or DU'ed aren't polls at all, as witnessed by the fact that they can be "freeped" or "DU'ed." They indicate nothing about actual public opinion. If you can produce scientific polls results that show an overwhelming percentage of Americans responded "Yes" to the question of whether Bush should be impeached, I stand corrected.

6. I beleive Scottie was referring to the latest Zogby poll
but the question asked was not clear enough to use that stat one way or the other. Scottie just thought he could slip it in unnoticed!

7. I meant that there's no poll ....
... that shows that an overwhelming number of Americans support impeachment; the original poster suggested that there was.

8. We cn use the same tactics these scum use. they say:
"Some people say..." "We are told..." then make some outrageous claim that supports their illegal actions...
We told congress.... Shit, they can tell congress that bush is raping his daughters in the oval office. that does NOT make it legal.
Quoting polls does not make what bush is doing right.

If these lying jerkoffs are quotingpolls, then we can use the same tactics and quote theMSNBC, CNN, time and other news organization polls that overwhelmingly support impeachmentof the asshole.

You can cry about semantics claiming they are not "real polls", who cares...they are usefulto our purpose.

9. There was nothing in your original posting ....
...that suggested that you know that online polls are bogus. If you assumed that everybody knows this but think we should squawk about them anyway, fine. (I don't myself think doing so is "useful to our purpose," but de gustibus.) But we're wasting our time and setting ourselves up to look like fools if we make unwarranted impressions about the state of public opinion, which is what a lot of people are doing on the basis of these horseshit "polls." Saying they're bogus isn't "crying about semantics," BTW; it's pointing out a fact.
