Democrats on the wrong side

The survey was conducted nationwide February 5-7 among a bi-partisan, cross-section of 800 registered voters. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percent. The survey was commissioned by The Moriah Group, a Chattanooga-based strategic communications and public affairs firm.

Re: Democrats on the wrong side

Heh heh according to Drudge, the survey was done by the "VA-based Public Opinion Strategies (POS)." You'd have to wonder about an organization that calls itself by a name whose initials are "POS."

From their website:

The Republican polling firm of Public Opinion Strategies (POS) ...

I thought the results as reported by Drudge seemed contradictory. On the one had, 57% supported "finishing the job in Iraq, that is, keeping the troops there until the Iraqi government can maintain control and provide security and the Iraqi war is a key part of the global war on terrorism." Yet 49% "call for immediate withdrawal or a strict timetable."

Maybe 8% think that the "Iraqi government can maintain control and provide security and the Iraqi war is a key part of the global war on terrorism" already so it's OK to bring the troops home immediately or on a strict timetable.

No I don't. They are not an unknown polling group. They primarily hire out to Republican campaigns to provide them with data on public opinion. Even the Republicans need accurate polling data. This is the data they found out.

Have you replied in kind yet to the question you asked me?

Good point. The results are about what we would expect a Republican POS survey to find.

What question? You mean what I do for a living? Why do you keep asking over and over when I have made it quite clear that 1) it is none of you business and 2) I am not going to tell you.

In case I have been at all unclear: 1) it is none of you business and 2) I am not going to tell you.

They only asked 800 voters? Talk about pathetic.

In case I haven't been clear, where do you get off asking others what you refuse to divulge about yourself?

Nothing unusual there. Got a poll that rebuts the findings?

You chose to volunteer your personal information. That is up to you. I choose not to. At least to you.

Merely pointing out that if he is going to ask of me that information and then refuses to respond in kind when asked back that it will be very difficult to have further discussions. If you don't want to reveal it don't ask it.
