19. SERIOUS BS ALERT! (Headline s/b MAJORITY SUPPORT IMPEACHMENT)
Edited on Sat Oct-21-06 02:18 PM by Beetwasher
"Other parts of a potential Democratic agenda receive less support, especially calls to impeach Bush: 47 percent of Democrats say that should be a “top priority,” but only 28 percent of all Americans say it should be, 23 percent say it should be a lower priority and nearly half, 44 percent, say it should not be done. (Five percent of Republicans say it should be a top priority and 15 percent of Republicans say it should be a lower priority; 78 percent oppose impeachment.) Rolling back some of the Bush tax cuts would be contentious too: 38 percent of Americans say the Dems should make that a top priority; 28 percent say it should be a lower priority; and 28 percent say it shouldn’t be done at all."

Look how they are mixing and matching the demographic data sets and slicing and dicing these numbers to make results that are significant look less impressive. From the results above you might not get the impression that the majority of Americans support impeachment, would you? But they do. Read it carefully.

"Other parts of a potential Democratic agenda receive less support, especially calls to impeach Bush: 47 percent of Democrats say that should be a “top priority,” but only 28 percent of all Americans say it should be, 23 percent say it should be a lower priority and nearly half, 44 percent, say it should not be done."

28% of all Americans thing it should be a high priority and 23% say a lower priority, BUT 51% OF THE FUCKING COUNTRY SUPPORTS IMPEACHMENT!!!!! That's fucking big, big news.

Same thing w/ the tax cuts:

"38 percent of Americans say the Dems should make that a top priority; 28 percent say it should be a lower priority; and 28 percent say it shouldn’t be done at all."

56% PERCENT OF AMERICANS SUPPRT ROLLING BACK THE FUCKING TAX CUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!! But you don't get that impression do you? Instead you get the impression that these position are NOT well supported. I wonder why? Maybe it's because of this first sentence from the paragraph:

"Other parts of a potential Democratic agenda receive less support,..."

THIS IS TOTAL BULLSHIT. MAJORITIES OF THE PUBLIC SUPPORT BOTH POSITIONS. *sigh*

Liberal media *grumble grumble*
