100% of Blacks Oppose Alito and Think Iraq War Unjustified

OpEdNews.Com/ Zogby People's Poll; 100% of Blacks Oppose Alito and Think Iraq War Unjustified

The poll produced a huge amount of information. It's startling to realize, when you look at the demographic data, how much more information is available in a poll than just the simple percentages in response to the question.

More on that later. The poll came up with some powerful findings which this article will discuss. For starters 85% of Democrats are more likely to support a candidate who supports impeachment.

100% of the African Americans in the poll-- 109-- now believe that the Iraq war was unjustified. Zero percent of the African Americans polled support the appointment of Alito to the Supreme Court. 80.3% oppose it and 19.7 percent are not sure. That helps explain the huge drop in support PA Senatorial candidate Bob Casey sees from African Americans when they learn his positions. How huge?...

They know who winds up on the front lines.

OpEdNews.Com/ Zogby People's Poll; 100% of Blacks Oppose Alito and Think Iraq War Unjustified......

Zero percent of the African Americans polled support the appointment of Alito to the Supreme Court. 80.3% oppose it and 19.7 percent are not sure. Continued
....

.

And if you could READ you would realize it's 80% opposed, 20% uncertain, not 100% opposed.

Since you can't read you also can't count so I skipped the decimals --- ummm.... that's the little numbers when the originals don't come up to a whole integer......

You don't give someone a lifetime appointment to the SC unless you are sure. Therefore, one could say 100% oppose putting Alito on the High Court.

Would not put much stock in statistics from a site that unabashedly professes to be "left biased and readers should expect to read the site as a left wing site with a left wing perspective."

It's also suspicious that Kall refuses to put up the actual demographic data because "they're too valuable to the opposition."

Can probably get a clue though from the questions on electronic voting machines, because he does offer demographics on those questions. What jumps out at me is the ideology of the folks queried. Shows a 2:1 (427:273) bias towards progressive/liberal/moderate pollees.

I am immediately skeptical of anything that claim 100% of anything....

skepticism is the first step to wisdom
that's from a fortune cookie I really liked.

well, you could say that, but it wouldn't make any sense.

OHHHHH....I see......

100% eh? There is always a trace element of difference somewhere. Come to think on it, perhaps that can be found in those who are unsure.

A large percentage I could buy. But i00% is a little overboard. As for Alito I predict the American people will live to regret that choice.
There is a large chasm between electing someone of questionable character and philosophy and appointing one as a justice to the supreme court . Elected officials can be voted out of office while the appointment to the supreme court is for a lifetime.

YOU would give someone a lifetime appointment to be one-ninth of a body that represents the Supreme Law of the Land without being sure?

And you think THAT makes sense?

OHHHHH...I see...

I was assuming you were kidding in your first post as what you said is not logical...

Perhaps I assumed wrong.

You are confusing the poll data with the article. They are two separate things.

ok, I think I was sorta confused by your response to me the first time, but now I'm really sure I have no idea what you're talking about.

I'm not even sure if this is address to me.

but nev' mind, it's not worth puzzling out.

onward and upward.

It is logical to you to appoint someone to the Supreme Court for life that you are not sure of. That is logical to YOU? And you have difficulty understanding this point?

hunh? so the article has nothing to do with the poll data? His whole premise, as clearly shown by his headline, is the poll data! He's urging that dems put more faith into and conduct more polls because he thinks they're completely underestimating the strength of their position.

Justice Alito now has the support of --- presumably --- 99.999999% of blacks the exception being fellow justice Thomas.

And everyone Western who was killed in Iraq was really African and Mrs. Martin Luther King who died in Mexico at an alternative health clinic was medically well advised and pigs do fly and so on and so forth.

Well,we know this is Bs,and its easy to prove.
The guys I work with that are Black DO support the war.
So right there are 3 blacks.That automatically reduces that 100% number.

So,we know that the poll is worthless.

100% of blacks at the grocery store have a watermelon in their cart.

This was my observation yesterday. There was only one black person in the store.
