Fox News Poll: Phony scandals? Not to voters

Ahhh, another baseless claim of falsehood. Another clinton presidency with hillary is just what the republican party needs after 2 Obama terms. The psychological damage done to them and the whining will be awesome. Keep up those delusions, I would love to see another rove election night freak out when the polls turn out to be so wrong yet again. Don't believe your own press, especially when you are the ones making it up.

Yeah because we all know the democrats would NEVER commit voter fraud... Despite the fact I've personally have been approached by ACORN in an attempt to buy my vote with free food a shirt and a couple of bucks (they like to call it transportation compensation)....

Oh yeah - not to mention all the times democrats have been caught red handed doing it, hence NO MORE ACORN....

Of course those realities don't matter to you....
 
Of course because those facts don't jibe with what you want to believe.....

You're obviously not concerned with truth, you're concerned with political gang banging...... To you consensus is truth enough - never mind the facts...

So if Jay Carney and his man-crush Obama say "these scandals are phony" and leave it at that - that is truth enough for you....

BTW, here's your facts....

Official hearing transcripts are located in the story...

‘Outrageous’: IRS Agent Stuns Members of Congress With Claim About Targeting Scandal | TheBlaze.com

Let me guess that IRS agent is lying right????? just because hes racist and hates Obama...

Targeting is the wrong term being used here. Targeting is the act of selecting the applications for scrutiny, as a matter of fact most applications slip by because the IRS simply doesn't have enough personnel to scrutinize all of the applications that they receive each year.

In this supposed example in the testimony the Tea Party would have already been targeted, the only thing left is the scrutiny. And the IRS agent is simply saying that according to his manager his review isn't enough.

It must be exhausting to be a Liberal.

Always on the defensive, always squirming and slithering out of old narratives and right back into new ones , using everything but honesty to guide you.

Face it, your slime ball party, President and his ilk got caught. Ifyou had any semblence of integrity you would want them prosecuted.

LOL. What happened 29 years ago today?
 
Until FOX News stops being the propaganda arm for the GOP, I really can't be arsed to give a **** what they or their viewership think (or more realistically, react cuz lord knows, there's not a whole lot of thinking goin on, but they sure do have the knee jerk reactions down pat.)

Would you be so kind to furnish us with a poll from a source you do trust, to counter the Fox poll? Many thanks!

I think they actually LIKE the idea that he has the balls to break the rules--the law?--to advance the Liberal agenda.

What ? You sustained a critical head injury that caused chronic cognitive issues ?

Because you couldn't be talking about Nixon's resignation since its absolutely irrelevent ....

But then again, the head injury.

According to Gallup, "Television is the main place Americans say they turn to for news about current events (55%), leading the Internet, at 21%. Nine percent say newspapers or other print publications are their main news source, followed by radio, at 6%." See chart at link for which TV news network is ranked where: TV Is Americans' Main Source of News
 
We know how reliable faux news polling is after they completely predicted the landlside victory Mittens had over obama in the last election. Seems to me like this is just another faux news self delusion. I would beware, faux can screw up a sure thing, and with their help Obama might just get a third term.
Fox news President Poll was just as close as anyone else. Fox poll did not project Romney as the winner as you might wanted to believe they had him trailing by 3 points so they was off a couple of points but so was most
 
Let me get this straight. Fox News, whose bread and butter is getting right wingers upset over these kinds of scandals, has a poll that says that their target audience, right wingers who specifically tune in to get upset over these kinds of scandals, are upset over these kinds of scandals?

The Fox News poll is based on landline and cell phone interviews with 1,007 randomly chosen registered voters nationwide and was conducted under the joint direction of Anderson Robbins Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R) from August 3 to August 5. The full poll has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points

Facts i don't need no dam facts im a liberal for gods sake im above facts they mean nothing to me i make my own up and repeat them over and over and they become true

I can't address head injuries, but I can do simple math.
Nixon resigned THIRTY NINE years ago.
This is why I can't take conservative polls seriously.
Cons seem to lack basic math skills.
 

Thanks, your table which I believe is accurate demonstrates a couple of things...

  1. Progressive organizations were selected for scrutiny (targeted) as well were conservatives
  2. Progressive organizations more honest than conservative when requesting non-profit status.
 
Also you guys know the election is past right? Polls have even less meaning now than they did than, it doesn't matter how popular or unpopular Obama is, he's still the President until his term expires in 2017. I wish we could all focus less on polls and more on issues.

But Benghazi, the Obama administration cover up of Benghazi and the politicizing of the IRS are issues.

7? you call that targeting that is more like a coincidence or a clerical error the apps got accidently put in a wrong stack

Nope, not really. The BOLO caught the progressive organizations and there was far fewer of them than Tea Party.

Yeah right, like progressives are honest??

They're ****ing liars that operate in the same fashion as the Bolsheviks. YOUR main goal and the progressives main goal is to seek and destroy your opposition at any costs. Now that the fascist progressives are in positions of power they're doing just that.

That's what the ****ing graph (if accurate, and I have no reason to doubt it is) tells us.

It tells us that progressives are fascists...

then you need to explain the astounding difference in the amount of questions and approval rate between the conservative groups and the progressive group as you try to falsely claim they was treated equally

Look this agreement has been hashed out over and over on these forums, and time and time again you liberals get proven wrong.
accept that fact and stop wasting every ones time trying the same old debunked argument.
Pull the "blame Bush" card or the "Race" card, because the "Liberal group was targeted also" card has been debunked. it has been clearly shown so few was scrutinized, and received 10 times less scrutiny then any conservative group it isn't even relevant
 
One of the questions was this: "For each of the following, please tell me whether you think it’s a situation that should be taken seriously or if it’s more of a phony scandal: The Obama administration’s handling of the terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya that resulted in the deaths of four Americans." Your only options are "It should be taken seriously" or "It's a phony scandel" or "I don't know."

Talk about a loaded question, first off the question makes the claim that its Obama's administration's handling of the terrorist attack that resulted in four dead Americans, it doesn't place the blame on the hands of the attackers but rather the President. Secondly, what about people like me think that we should take things like Benghazi seriously but also that the "scandel" about it is just a bunch of hot air being blown around by Republicans looking to play politics and avoid work? How should I answer? Well given the two I'd probably pick it should be taken seriously.

Now where this gets really stupid is where Fox News or someone like "Trjr" comes in and says "A-ha because only 17 percent of people said it was a phony scandel, that means 83 percent of people think its a real scandel" when in fact that may not be the case at all but because of the way the poll constrains the possible responses. And what is a scandel exactly anyway? If I said that Benghazi is a scandel that may mean I think the President is wrong in his handling of the situation OR it may mean that I think that a scandel exists in that I acknowledge that many people find what happened scandelous but I personally don't.

You can't place people into just one of two positions, the world isn't as simple as black and white. Sorry but this poll is completely meaningless.
We do exactly that all the time. Don't you remember Valerie Jarrett's statement that you're either with us or agin us? C'mon. You know it's true. Unless you're advocating for a third party, you're inevitably placing people with a choice between two, and not three or more. At the end of the day, either you believe there's something more than has been shown, or you don't. The Obama administration is telling people that there's nothing more to be seen, and is daily making certain that's true. It's all a little too obvious to even the low information voter. I'd hate to be among those in the administration charged with keeping all the parts of these things inside a box.

Yeah, how soon they forget how surprised they were when obama won, and how wrong they were that Romney was even in contention for it. let us say you are right for just a moment. I know it is a stretch, but let us pretend we are in republicanland. Where is your victory? Obama is still there, there have been no charges brought on people, and life is going on. You cannot even stop him from winning another election, though I am sure the reps will find some way to claim they did. It is all a bunch of whining even if you are correct. Unless it turns into some sort of action you can all scream and whine as loud as you want, it means nothing. I can see why you cheer, it is the best you can do to make up numbers and pretend you won something, but you did not do anything but see the results of a known piss poor polling org and a station that loves to delude itself and pretend.

It was only 1 Fox news contributor not Fox news

i want to point out it was a year after the water gate investigation started before Nixon was forced out of office so go ahead and bury you head in the sand and keep making lame unfounded excuses. It will be a sad day in history when our first president of color will leave office in disgrace and set back the minority community when it happens
 
Breaking News!!!

Fox pays for poll that concludes that Fox is right!

show me a poll that says different?
Everyday you post on the forums saying how wrong everyone on the right is and not once do you show any evidence. it is like we should just take your word for it or something
 
Approval rating means nothing at this point. No matter what we are going to elect a scumbag Republican or Democrat back into office in in 2016 anyways. You people complain about things but then don't do anything to make a real change. A real change isn't electing one of the two from the incompetent parties back into office after they administration after administration prove not worthy.
