While Reagan did have charisma and conviction, his supply side economics ideology was the beginning of the downhill slide for the american worker. At least he had sense enough to go along with tax increases when his tax cuts ballooned the deficit. |

Finding just over 1000 adults who could make up the sampling must have been tough. You would need to have lived through the various presidencies or been a learned scholar of 20th century American history to have understood the differences in how these past administrations governed. Reagan having been the most recent president in memory to those being questioned would be the logical choice, since my assumption is that most if not all those queried would know very little about the previous president's to have made any kind of informed choice. In other words, I don't see any value in the poll, and believe it was probably the expected results of those doing the polling. Did the pollsters have an underlying goal here or if not, what was the real intent? Certainly it could not have been a history exam in which they were trying to ascertain how many random Americans knew their 20th century political history. |

Why would miller put any credence in the poll? American voters after all voted for Obama. |

I don't think Jim gives much thought before posting some of his anti Obama messages Thumper. If he had, I doubt this thread would exist. |

Did you ever wonder, Mike, why the bawl babies around here don't post any pro-Obama messages? Stalking/leg humping is the best they can do with what there is to work with. |

In reality Jim, I pay very little attention to the leg humping angst you and a few others wallow in. I'm here to discuss the threads, not get caught up in silly and immature behavior. Back to the thread... Do you find any value at all in the poll Jim? |

Which is why this place is occupied mainly by stalkers and leg humpers. And favored garbage mouths. |

I think Jim, what has occurred in your case, is some members have come to the conclusion that most of your interest and posting is a form of humping the leg of our President. And their one line responses to your threads reflect that. If you were to stop for a second when reading a poll or article from some of your sources, and think what the motivation of the writer or pollster is, you might not post some of the articles and articles for discussion. The media is full of bias and some is more outlandish than others. I think some of your posts do in fact deserve further exploration, such as the healthcare bill or bailout questions. Or leadership questions. But unfortunately we now have a situation where nobody is taking you seriously. It's up to you to change that perception if you so desire. And I might add, some others here have a similar situation going on. |
