About that NYT/CBS poll

Posted by: ST on January 28, 2006 at 9:23 am

… specifically, the one I blogged about earlier this week where 53% of those polled answered that they were ok with warrantless wiretaps when used to fight terrorism:

Did you know that the poll included an oversampling of Dems? I didn’t catch that when I initially blogged about the poll, but Captain Ed did.

So we had an oversampling of Dems in a poll about warrantless wiretaps and still got 53% approval for it. For poll-watching politicos on the left, this is definitely not good news.

    A Zogby poll shows that 52% of Americans, want bush impeached if he spied on private citizens(The State.com,1-25-06). Your 53% can spy on terrorists, if my 52% can impeach bush, deal? Peace

    Good thing there is the rule of law and not mob rule.

  3. steve says:

    bush, doesn’t believe in the rule of law, kings never do. Peace

    steve, neither do street socialists believe in the rule of law.

  5. - Sistah – If pools were run proficiously, sans agenda and spin, and had a universal demographic balance and response, you’d see very quickly, that in fact, the screeching fanatical Socialists make up less than 15% of the country, tops. The extreme left, Marxists, Anarcists, Communists, Theists ect., are probably less than 5%. They use yell political tactics, repeated lying campaigns, and the left-wing MSM to multiply their volume, if not their numbers.

    - I have been to a number of Rallys, where both sides are present, and ALWAYS, the right outnumbers the left 10 to 1. Its even more telling when you consider that conservatives by nature tend to be more reserved, and therefore would suggest an even greater ratio if they were as strident and vociferous as the frenetic left.

    - Bang **==

    Nobody can ever talk about what someone else believes and make a strong argument with that tactic. People can make much stronger arguments if they state their own opinions backed up with facts. The fact is that for the 52% to impeach Bush they would have to not follow the rule of law and would have to make new rules.

    If Bush were a king we’d have plenty of things that he proposed such as a much healthier Social Security system and a tax cut for all income tax payers that were bigger and immediate as opposed to a phased in tax cut that was smaller. The economy would’ve been doing better and therefore more people would’ve had higher wages. Oil might’ve been flowing from ANWR and the Energy Bill that had more than 1/2 conservation type items would’ve been passed and therefore those conservations items would’ve been in practice (incentives to conserve and other measures of that type).

    The fact that someone without personal responsibility wants to just continue labeling a president as someone he isn’t doesn’t make it so. It only makes the person writing such garbage more personally irresponsible than before.

    Bang the latest essay on Zombietime shows what you are saying to be truth too. The crawd for the left was rather thin at right to life march in San Francisco. I think more and more people are looking at dems who are pandering to the extreme fringe left and disagreeing with them. It is sad the present dem leadership is to blind to see what is going on with the direction they are taking the dem party. – Lorica

    What do you care how far Left the Democrats go, you all are going to continue to vote for the War Party anyway, right? Peace

  9. Baklava says:

    We’ll just be here to point it out that they lack perspective and do not state facts.

    Even more peace.

  10. Robert says:

    Yeah, far out, man, like, if we just think peace, man, visualize world peace, man, you know, um, like the Jihadists will just be filled with love and like stop and then we can all hug and sing Peter, Paul, and Mary songs!

    We don’t want no spying! The terrorists have rights too, man!

  11. steve says:

    Give it up Robert, you sound like a cop who almost graduated from high school. Peace

  12. CavalierX says:

    Well, at least he didn’t sleep through civics class. Peace to you, too.

  13. Heh…h-h-heh….heh-heh…. And yopu steve sound like someone who would vote for anyone and anything as long as they promised you unfettered access to yopur bong…..

    Bang :o (Wait….wait….was that some sort of a Bang-bong?”

  14. Lorica says:

    Damn Skippy Steve. Hell lets go back to the root of the Repubulican party. We started the civil war and it has been one major conflict after another ever since. =))

    I care Steve, cause in my heart of hearts I believe that most folk mean good. I really don’t like seeing good folk like yourself so badly deceived. Following such evil as what leads the Democrats is not good for these people or this nation. Don’t you see the anger that is coming from the fringe left?? Have we not seen it here in the very forum?? This is why I care Steve. There is no time in history that a country which has been run by 1 person’s view, been able to survive long. It is only common sense that a reasonable opposition party is good for all. – Lorica
