A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

Again, it all depends on which poll you are using.

And I have wondered about that on this board before. Do any polls call cell phones aside from landlines? In years past I have answered polls conducted thru our landline but now we don’t have one. Just a cell.

I have never had a poll--or survey for that matter- call my cellphone. Do some? And if not, they are bound to get very skewed results in their polling data as few of them young types have landlines anymore..


Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.

I answered my own question. How would the world function without googling these days?

Quote
All major survey organizations that conduct telephone surveys include cellphones in their samples. They have to, because the kinds of people who rely only on a cellphone are different from those reachable on a landline, even though being cellphone-only is becoming more mainstream.

Linque

Still-if I see an unknown number on my caller ID I likely won’t answer that call. I am sure I am not alone in that response.

Rethuglicons dismiss Melania's flagrant plagiarizing of Michelle Obama's 2008 DNC speech...becuase it was actually Michelle who stole the Rethuglicon message in 2008, according to them.

The mental gymnastics that Rethuglicons do to contort and to assuage their own ignorance and stupidity in lieu of being honest about reality is something else:




Also see how Rethuglicons reimagine the three-fifths clause of The Constitution. It's quite disgusting and sickening. mad

Mm-hmmm. Those broadcasting degrees have to teach something. Apparently that thing is the pivot, which even Sarah Palin was able to master.

Here's what you do. You don't return the opponent's serve, like in tennis; you throw a bowling ball down the lane next to your opponent. You talk about the topic, in a parallel universe. Question be damned.

idea So all a conservative has to do is answer a non-sequitur and be satisfied that they "owned" their opponent. smile
