I'm not interested in debating the value of polls as one measure of public opinion, albeit less than perfect, but still a measure that conveys a picture at a point in time.

But you ignored the question.

Dont you think there is equal hypocrisy on the right?

Any person who is schooled in the examination of statistics would quickly ignore the individual who tried to hold up a poll as some form of statistical significance in an attempt to strengthen their argument. I do respect your continual attempts to sway public opinion but you shall never pass the scientific examination of the continually failed arguments. But yet you quote them as some form of valid point. And in this post you acknowledge that you are posting but yet another Straw Man attempt to advance the failed point based on a poll. Reflux you are a Goddam Fool.....

But yet you quote them as if they have some validity. And they do not.
