Etch A Sketch Romney

GoTim1985 said:
Nope, those numbers are lying apparently.


If you will recall, you made TWO points in response to me. The first sentence of my post was in response to to your first point. The last part is in response to your unwillingness to even consider the reasons behind Rasmussen's accuracy trouble as of late as anything other than partisanry, which it is not. The two points are independent of each other and I did not do any kind of arguing regarding the merit of the CNN/ORC poll as 'more right' than Rasmussen. Why? Because there's no way to tell if a poll is "more right" until the election being polled actually happens.

I have absolutely nothing against Rasmussen and even admitted earlier in the thread that I still follow their polls but look at them under a far more critical lens than I used to.

So you've made this much clear: you have an ability to read words that people aren't writing, completely overlook entire posts that refute what you say with facts, and dismiss facts that are hardly disputable because they are based in mathematics while at the same time calling others biased and partisan.


1. You should have just typed the bolded point at the very beginning of your post and stopped there.
2. Why are you quoting yourself? No one other than you said what's in between the quotations.
3. Go ahead and don't debate me. I'm not the one refusing to debate an opposing viewpoint on a debate forum by using a quote I came up with but am claiming is someone else's.
4. Please, like a real poll is going to do anything for you. Unless, that is, Romney is the one winning it. You and ICMA would argue against 2+2=4 if someone you perceived as liberal posted it.

You see we all can get polls that say what we want. Agree?

Please notice the use of the word hypothetical by Rasmussen?

So what the photo says is 1) Bain Capital saved Etch-A-Sketch from bankruptcy 2) Romney is behind the recent rise in stock of Etch-A-Sketch 3) Romney is saving Toys R Us and Etch-A-Sketch...

So a guy who turns the economy around... has more proof he can create positive growth... Well done... sounds like more reason to vote for him...

But according to them Rasmussen is biased, because he is based in Washington, and thus, his taking a poll in MD ahead of the GOP Primary makes it flawed... or some BS that theyre gonna come up with...

They walk with blinders on... ignore the positives of Romney, only see the bad... ignore the president's flaws (like a persistent $1.4T deficit, creating a $16T debt, unemployment at 8.3%, soaring gas prices, partisan gridlock in congress, etc.), just look at his positives (he can sing?)...

Nice strawman. People say that Rasmussen is biased because they were disastrously inaccurate in 2010 and almost always erred in favor of Republicans.
 
Good lord, what portion of No way to determine which poll is correct until after the election actually happens. is written in Swedish?

It's like trying to describe color to a blind person here.
