Bias in the Polls

 
 
Reply Sun 26 Mar, 2006 11:58 am
New York Times Headlines discussing poll numbers since before the Iraq war began in March 2003:

Poll Finds Most in U.S. Support Delaying a War (2/14/03)
Opinions Begin to Shift as Public Weighs Costs of War (3/26/03)
World's View of U.S. Sours After Iraq War, Poll Finds (6/4/03)
Study Finds Europeans Distrustful of U.S. Global Leadership (9/4/03)
Despite Polls, Pataki Backs Bush on Iraq All the Way (10/3/03)
Poll Finds Hostility Hardening Toward U.S. Policies (3/17/04)
Support for War Is Down Sharply, Poll Concludes (4/29/04)
Rising Casualties, One Falling Poll (5/2/04)
Polls Show Bush's Job-Approval Ratings Sinking (5/14/04)
Bush's Rating Falls to Its Lowest Point, New Survey Finds (6/29/04)

But then Bush beat Kerry in 2004. Right after the election, here are some more polls:

Americans Show Clear Concerns on Bush Agenda (11/23/04)
Public Voicing Doubts on Iraq and the Economy, Poll Finds (1/20/05)
Bad Iraq War News Worries Some in GOP on '06 Vote (8/18/05)
Support for Bush Continues to Drop as More Question His Leadership Skills, Poll Shows (9/15/05)
Iraq's Costs Worry Americans, Poll Indicates (9/17/05)

Despite the low poll numbers, the House of Representatives voted 403-3 against troop withdrawal. Bush won against Kerry when all the polls went the other way. Most public opinion polls are now clearly biased in the position of the liberals.

Since when have the Republicans lied? Last lie I remember is Richard Nixon.

It would be simpler to list what Bush has not lied about. So, here goes:
1. er, ah . . . Leave this one til later.
2. This one too.
3. . . . .
And that's it.

I don't find anything wrong with those polls. For example, Europeans ARE distrustful of the US leadership. The world's view HAS soured.

Little Lies





If I could turn the page

In time then I'd rearrange just a day or two

Close my, close my, close my eyes



But I couldn't find a way

So I'll settle for one day to belive in you

Tell me, tell me, tell me lies



Tell me lies

Tell me sweet little lies

(Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)

Oh, no, no you can't disguise

(You can't disguise, no you can't disguise)

Tell me lies

Tell me sweet little lies



Although I'm not making plans

I hope that you understand there's a reason why

Close your, close your, close your eyes



No more broken hearts

We're better off apart let's give it a try

Tell me, tell me, tell me lies



Tell me lies

Tell me sweet little lies

(Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)

Oh, no, no you can't disguise

(You can't disguise, no you can't disguise)

Tell me lies

Tell me sweet little lies



If I could turn the page

In time then I'd rearrange just a day or two

Close my, close my, close my eyes



But I couldn't find a way

So I'll settle for one day to belive in you

Tell me, tell me, tell me lies



Tell me lies

Tell me sweet little lies

(Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)

Oh, no, no you can't disguise

(You can't disguise, no you can't disguise)



Tell me lies

Tell me sweet little lies

(Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)

Oh, no, no you can't disguise

(You can't disguise, no you can't disguise)

Tell me lies

Tell me sweet little lies

(Tell me, tell me lies)

I saw a segment today on one of the Sunday shows that showed a video of Bush saying that he never even hinted that Iraq and 9/11 were linked then they played a tape showing Bush doing exactly that.

City girls just seem to find out early how to open doors with just a smile.
A rich old man and she won't have to worry. She'll dress up all in lace and go in style.
Late at night a big old house gets lonely, I guess every form of refuge has its price.
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only given to a man with hands as cold as ice.
So she tells him she must go out for the evening to comfort an old friend who's feeling down.
But he knows where she's going as she's leaving, she's headed for the cheating side of town.
You can't hide your lying eyes and your smile is a thin disguise.
I thought by now you'd realize, there ain't no way to hide your lying eyes.

On the other side of town a boy is waiting with fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal.
She drives on through the nice anticipating cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel.
She rushes to his arms, they fall together. She whispers that it's only for awhile.
She swears that soon she'll be coming back forever, she pulls away and leaves him with a smile.
You can't hide your lying eyes and your smile is a thin disguise.
I thought by now you'd realize, there ain't no way to hide your lying eyes.

She gets up and pours herself a strong one and stares out at the stars up in the sky.
Another night, it's gonna be a long one, she draws the shade and hangs her head to cry.
She wonders how it ever got this crazy, she thinks about a boy she knew in school.
Did she get tired or did she just get lazy? She's so far gone she feels just like a fool.
My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things, you set it up so well, so carefully.
Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things,
you're still the same old girl you used to be.
You can't hide your lying eyes and your smile is a thin disguise.
I thought by now you'd realize, there ain't no way to hide your lying eyes.
There ain't no way to hide your lying eyes. Honey, you can't hide your lying eyes.

Say it if you want to and say it if you will
But if you don't say what you are thinkin'
No, I won't take too kindly to it.

And all I want is something special,
And you can't give it to me,
And all you do is lie to me,
'cause you're a liar, liar, liar.

I will run, I will fight,
I will take you through the night lie, lie, liar,
I will run, I will fight,
I will take you through the night lie, lie, liar...

Say it if you want to,
And say it if you choose
But if you don't say what you are thinkin'
No I won't take too kindly to it

When all I want is something different
And you could't give it to me
And all you do is lie to me
So you're a liar, liar, liar.

I will run, I will fight,
I will take you through the night lie, lie, liar,
I will run, I will fight,
I will take you through the night lie, lie, liar...

I'll fight you, I'll fight you
I'm fighing you
Liar, liar, liar
You know you're a liar,
Liar...
