Now anybody with any sense realizes that polls are media driven and biased to say the least.  However, our resident leftist proclaims polls are always right, so lets take a look at the latest poll being used as liberal talking points and assume it's accurate.

Bush won the villain sweepstakes by a landslide, with one in four respondents putting him at the top of that bad-guy list. When people were asked to name the candidate for villain that first came to mind, Bush far outdistanced even Osama bin Laden, the terrorist leader in hiding; and former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, who is scheduled for execution.

Bush was the choice of 43 percent of Democrats for villain, and 27 percent of Republicans for hero.

It's really amazing to me that democrats in this country think Bush is worse than bin laden, who is actively trying to kill as many Americans as possible.  I would have to say anyone who voted for Bush instead of bin laden or Saddam is both uniformed and not too bright to begin with.

Anyone who considers Prs. Bush a greater villain than Bin Laden deserves to live as a "guest" of Bin Laden.

Absolutely.  Bush is the villain, and terrorists get a pass.  I also read today where one of the first priorities of the Congress is to re-evaluate the terrorists rights bill.  These people worry more about the people trying to kill us, than they do protecting the country.

Actually, everyone but me is the villian. No favourites.

First off, if polls are, as you say, "...media driven and biased..." Then why bother with this? Why, if they are biased, even bother with pointing this out? They're not an accurate representation, so...ya know, just ignore it.

Or, do you really see a point in pointing out that a poll - which you admit is biased/faulty - subjects are morons, even though they just voiced their opinion. In fact, let me ask you this, is every opinion that (apparently) differs from yours - make the person whom expressed it, a moron?

Just something to think about.

Yep, that is a fairly succinct summation.

Not only do I include everyone else, I also include myself. Why be exclusive just because I happen to agree with me? With very rare exceptions, almost everyone is a moron. Stupidity is the true universalism.

That is one option. The other one is to hold it up to the ridicule it, the educated idiots who conducted it, and the incompetent press who reported it so richly deserve. ;~D

We are the nation of "Dancing with the Stars", American Idol, Paris Hilton and Oprah worshipers, Scientology, etc. How could anyone think we are stupid...

Which was done here, obviously. I find it a waste of time.

Wow, I'm shocked.    ( )

Right...

Well, frankly, I find it silly. Just because they have a different opinion than yours, doesn't make them a moron. They may just live by different, rating tools, then you do. Where, you rate OBL as more of a villian, and they don't. Ya know what I mean?

Oh that's rich baker. I mean, so what if you enjoy some of those things - that doesn't make you stupid. Tell me, what are some things that *you* enjoy? Then, I can start calling you stupid, etc... for enjoying those things.

Hmmm, maybe?

The part a lot of dems are leaving out is that Prs. Bush was also the top of the "hero" list. Which to me is just as bogus, since the whole "survey" is nothing more than fodder for mockery... but does make it a little more interesting.

What my opinion is has nothing to do wtth it.  Since polls are so important to the liberal talking points I decided to take one and look at it a little further. 

You have people who think Bush is worse than Saddam and bin laden.......they are morons.

Frankly, I find your protest silly. No one's making you read or participate in Island Dog's threads, so if you don't like it, buzz the fark off, you ass-chapeau.

The real reason you're so upset, Lucas, is because you're a moron yourself so, feeling honor bound to defend other morons, you rush to their defense.

The reality of the situation is this...anyone who uses AOL is a moron in the first place, so I'm surprised the numbers aren't higher.


Fine, find it silly all you want. No, no one is. However, if he doesn't want me to voice my dissent...you know, challenge it as much as i can - then he can BL me.

Ever heard of an opposing view, or the like?

No, I'm not upset, in fact, my feathers are not even ruffled. Like I said originally, it was (my comments) are just "something to think about," that's all.

Uses AOL, in what context? I use AOL instant messanger, why does that make me a moron?

Go ahead and think I'm a moron. Funny thing is, at one point in time, i would've agreed with you. Not anymore.

But, i digress.

What my opinion is has nothing to do wtth it. Since polls are so important to the liberal talking points I decided to take one and look at it a little further.

Okay, fine. However, you said your opinion has nothing to do with it....but, you included it with it. Why?

I didn't side step anything.  The topic of this article was that the American left thinks Bush is worse than Saddam or bin laden.  The simple liberal minds here don't seem to see anything wrong with it.

Yes you did, i asked you a question, and you side stepped it. If you're not going to answer it, then just admit you are sides stepping, and refusing to answer the question.

Yes, dear Lucas, bask in the praise of those morons who would agree with this poll, and let them tell you how 'smart' you are. You're entitled to your beliefs, after all, may you cling to them for comfort.


I guess it's never occurred to you that a) your 'community' college professors are teaching at 'community colleges' because they are at the rock bottom of their academic field, b) they get PAID to tell you how 'smart' you are,(so you will continue your enrollment) and c) they're mostly commies anyway.


Funny, the instructor that I had for two of my writing classes, and justice class was the former Assistant D.A. for our county (or city, dont remember which). That sounds like he did pretty well.

Anywho, I digress. This isn't about them. They are good people, they made the choice to teach at the college i attend, and I am grateful for that. I've learned a lot from them, and most of them are awesome.

Well, there have been at least a few, whom have been honest. For instance, a few terms back, i just completely fucked up on a paper. I just, bombed it. I admit it was my worst ever. You know what, my instructor told me? He said that it was, " a total piece of trash," and that i had to rewrite it in order for him to be willing to grade it. He was blunt, and honest. No bullshit what-so-ever. I had no problem with that. I'd much rather have someone be honest, than BS me. (No, you are not honest with me.)

Heh... Ya know, I could just trash you, without knowing you. I could easily call you all sorts of things, and just throw a label on you. Months ago, I would do that, but I won't. I'm not going to stoop that low.

So, instead of returning the tidings...I wish you a happy new year.
