Do Dems Or Reps Ask More Rational Questions ? . . . Results of a Y/A Survey Inside. . ..What Do You Think ?

Question

For the past 1 hour, I've been recording the questions that included name-calling and irrational hate .
And as a result, I decided to put things in perspective and replay 1 hours worth of this nonsense .

Here are the results(easily verifiable for anyone who wants to check)

People Said :
Cons are racist
Chickenhawk Rush Limbaugh
Ann CULTer
Pappy Bush and Jr's incompetency
Delusional Village Idiot(referencing Bush)
Bigger myth ? Holocaust or USA is a Superpower
Statement that the USA is a Communistic and Caste Society
Why doesn't McCain 'send' his son to Iraq ?
Since Bush is certifiably retarded. . . . . . . .

And only 2 from the other side of the aisle
Super Liar Gore
Suggestion that Liberals use the 'pull-out' method of birth control

So I ask you. . .. . .Who Posts More Rational Questions ?

Add this one that was posted while I was typing this . . . . Do Reps get a list of 'Talking Points' to post here. . .. . .

Add this one that was posted while I was typing this . . . . Do Reps get a list of 'Talking Points' to post here. . .. . .

Sassy - Are you kidding me. . . . after you read the survey results, you still think that way ?

Igi - So we can't read or write huh ? Then how do you explain this question. . typed, read and posted by a Con ?

Lame Duck - There is nothing bogus about what I posted . I clearly said the results were from 1 hour and I know there's more. . . but we weren't talking about 'other times' now were we !!

Crab Boy - That question was posted AFTER the 1 hour that I was looking at . I started recording at 'Anthonys' Chickenhawk comment !!

To EVERYONE - The user 'ML' has hit the nail on the head !!

Can anyone find anything in my post that said this was a scientific survey ? NOPE and I didn't claim it to be either . I know the Cons do the same thing, but this was clearly stated to be a 1 hour survey . And there are hours where the results will be different, no doubt . But I'm talking about HERE AND NOW .
BTW, I know one of you is gonna copy this and do another 1 hour survey to prove that Cons are guilty too . I agree !! But answering in denial is no excuse for this nonsense !!

Answer 1

I suspect the ratio of rational to irrational responses to your question will mirror the data you've collected so far.

Answer 2

You're being very selective in presenting your results. For example your lumping all Gore insults from the right into one while differentiating different Bush insults. You're also ignoring comments about Cindy Sheehan being used by the Dem's, liberal suicide and calling 9/11 conspiracy advocates felons. You're biggest mistake is looking at the questions for just an hour. How many cons vs libs were on YA in that hour? If you don't know that then your conclusions are nothing more than biased opinion.

Answer 3

I have always wanted to perform this same survey.

However, one hours worth of observations may not justify any conclusions.

I wanted to take a more systematic approach, by sampling different days and different times of day, to account for people living in different time zones , etc.

I also wanted to include all questions from a certain period, so as to eliminate any personal bias.

However, I have a feeling that in about an hour, you will have a liberal copycat who has gone through and recorded only ridiculous Conservative questions and report that his survey reported the opposite of yours.

Answer 4

If you would have done this over the weekend, the evidence would have been completely swayed in the other direction. It just depends which bunch of fanatics happens to be on at the time. Don't worry, it will be payback time for this bunch later today. Then check it out again.

I believe most of them are teenagers and a poor venue to judge the political decorum of either party. Its just a stupid game and somewhat offensive to most people who are actually trying to make a point or hear others' views.

Answer 5

Wait a couple of hours. As the hours move across the country we seem to get the other side. Early are the Cons. as we head to Mid West we get more Libs. Then in Mountain we get combo but more Cons. and finally in West mostly Libs. I believe if you were to do the study 24 hours a day over a week and then repeat several times during randomly selected weeks you would find that both are about the same.

Sorry to rain on your smug little parade.

Answer 6

I do get irritated with a lot of what I consider the silly, childish questions here. I try to respond, but I feel like I'm shoveling sand - answering the same questions over and over.

But I'm not an unbiased source. And my opinions are just that - opinions, not facts.

So I really can't answer your question. A one-hour sample is not, honestly, definitive either.

There's plenty of idiocy to go around.

Perhaps I am the idiot, for frequently answering them!

Answer 7

Your research is flawed. I am at work now. I have no time to ask questions at work. Those that are home and do nothing for a living have time to answer and ask lots of questions. Rational is also a matter of prospective. Is it rational to call Iraq a war or is it a occupation?
One other point that makes your research flawed. Debate is always adversary in nature. What you call name calling and hate could be viewed by others as just a statement of facts. Study the issue of SPC and you will improve your own lack of ability to be rational.

Answer 8

Your "survey" is flawed because it fixes its intelligence around the conclusion you are looking for.

And as to comments from people who actually count, rather than we yahoos on YA:

Don Imus calls women basketball players nappy headed hos.

Fox's Ozanian compares Hillary to Goebbels

Sen. Mitch McConnell says democrats want troops dead.

Why aren't you protesting against those irrational statements?

Answer 9

Your sampling size is to small to represent a valid survey. Do four hours, three different times of the day, for, a week, and then compile your results.

Answer 10

Boss? Am I wrong in thinking that certain People, criticize someone else? In order to hide their own ideas from being shown? Is that the case, here? You haven't even approached the topic of "Attacking The Messenger". I'll never understand that one.
