What is it with the liberals and polls?

Question

President Clinton couldn't decide whether to take a pee sitting or standingwith out first consulting the polls.

Answer 1

Because liberals believe that we live in a democracy as opposed to a republic.

Answer 2

Conan, I'm voting your answer as FAVORITE [two thumbs UP...that's all I have., if I had four I would have to say four thumbs up..]
They favor the direction of the wind. If a poll is taken they go with it [+/-] what ever the largest number is, listen to Al Gore , Carey, Clinton, etc..so they can say they are in touch with America, what most people fail to realize is that most polls are biased and do not reflect the views of the majority.How the question was phrased/asked and who was asked [Age group, religion,ethnic background ] determine the outcome of a poll,If you want to take a poll about how a certain group feel about America and the question is asked to a Conservative group the outcome will be different than if a Liberal group was asked the same question.
News Papers, TV, or people who take polls usually have a goal in mind, [make the war, President, politician look bad or good , in favor or against] it is all part of politics, we just have to learn how to read between the lines, [figure out the motive] be open minded, which is often mistaken for accept everything rather than having the brains to know when you are being played. News papers/TV News do allot more than Government when it comes to influencing an uneducated public.

Answer 3

Are Y'all A Democrat, Republicane, or Southern Boy ?

Here is a little test that will help you decide. The answer can be found by posing the following questions:

You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, Islamic Terrorists with a huge knives comes around the corner, lock eyes with you, screams obscenities, praise Allah, raise their knives and charge at you. You are carrying a .9 MM semi- automatic, and you are an expert shot.

You have mere seconds before they reach you and your family. What do you do ????


DEMOCRAT'S ANSWER:

Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!
Do the men look poor! Or oppressed?
Have I ever done anything to them that would inspire them to attack?
Could we run away?
What does my wife think?
What about the kids?
Swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of their hands ?
What does the law say about this situation?
Does the .9 MM have appropriate safety and trigger locks built into it?
Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?
Is it possible they'd be happy with just killing me, and letting my family go?
Do they definitely want to kill me, or would they be content just to wound me?
If I were to grab their knees and hold on, could my family get away while they were stabbing me?
Should I call 9-1-1?
Why is this street so deserted?
We need to raise taxes, have a paint and weed day and make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior. This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for few days and try to come to a consensus.


REPUBLICAN'S ANSWER:

BANG!


SOUTHERNER'S ANSWER:

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG, (sounds of reloading). BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Daughter: "Nice shot, Daddy ! Were those the semi-wadcutters or hollow points?"

Son: "Git-er-Dun Pop !! Can I shoot the next one ?? "

Wife: "Y'all ain't gonna be takin that to the Taxidermist, are y'all ? "

Answer 4

Lmaoooo Conan!! Omg im gonna save that one!

And its quite nice to have a prez who counts more on doing what is right instead of going with what the polls show. Truman and Eisenhower had poor approval ratings too,..just think if they looked at that, pulled out, and let hitler do what he wanted to do..Be a quite differnt world we grew up in wouldnt it?

And nice try carlito, but conan has u beat by a mile...When the hell has a democrat ever shot a terriost?? There against guns!!

Answer 5

I'll give this a shot...

Are you A Democrat, Republican, or Southern Boy?

**The Democrat actually shoots the terrorists that are an immediate threat.

**The Republican ignores the immediate threat and instead shoots at the Muslims across the street. When his wife protests, he turns around and shoots her, too. . .for being unpatriotic.

**The Southern boy proceeds to wipe out the entire block and turns to his wife who commends him for handling the terrorists with ease. "Terrorists?" he replies. "Oh, I just saw that they were all darker than us, so I figured they needed killing. They were terrorists, huh?"

If we're going to make broad generalizations here...at least get them right.

Nice try TS, believing in gun control and being "against guns" are two different things. If you don't understand the difference...well, there are plenty of resources available. Plenty of Democrats own guns. Second, I'm a Democrat and NOT against guns. Again, broad generalizations. See links below.

Answer 6

A poll is the best way for the president to understand what the American people want.. I see nothing wrong with using polls as a guide...

CONAN- Doubt I'd be walking down a deserted street. There aren't any where I live but is there only one bang for the republican because he shot himself in the head?? j/k

Answer 7

William Jefferson Clinton was the greatest president of the modern day. Picture two pictures in your mind; America during Clinton (prosperity, inclusion, international respect), now think of American with Bush at the helm (war, laughing stock of the world, deception, secrecy, racial/social polarization), you get the idea. Polls schmolls.

Answer 8

Beacuse the left will not stand for what right, moral and ethical; they wave to whatever the polls say to wave too. Week minded and easily swayed. It's the same type of Socialist weekness that caused Europe to fall prey to Stalin, Marx and Hitler.

Answer 9

What is that has bonehead conservatives so obsessed with liberals? Bush pretends to ignore the polls because they show that the American people are finally on to him. Yet, his every move is choreographed in response to the polls. Don't kid yourself. Both parties pay attention to the polls. Bush doesn't decide how to pee because of them. He lets Dick Cheney make that decision for him.

Answer 10

Most other dictators, czars, and self proclaimed emporers don't care about public opinion either. Think Kim Jong-il cares about the polls? Not caring what your constituency thinks, or the world at large, is the other extreme of poor leadership.
