Seriously though, in response to why I think most polls you see are predominantly anti-war is because they're on the internet which subjects them to sampling bias. It excludes an older generation of people, it excludes people who may not have computers, it's not limited to one country, and it may exclude people who do not feel strongly about the issue. I guess that's why they say right below them something like: Not a scientific poll/is not representative of majority/etc.
good answer. i suppose it could be because the gallup poll was using the "veteran republicans over 50 with ties to the oil industry" by accident instead of the "completely random selection lists. It's an easy mistake to make i suppose.
U know i fucked a Croatian girl once...i think her name was Ines...i forgot...
Good 4 you. Just wondering what that has to do with the topic... I really hope it wasn't an attempt to flame me.

first i dont see how you have not heard of the gallup polling company. It is a reputable company that is accepted by almost everyone. Guess what the tv news shows use for their polls primarily. Thats right they use Gallup polls unless they are doing their own unoficial poll. But occrider it totally correct, the reason why you see that the internet polls are scewed is because of sampling error. Bottom line. dont be saying that the gallup poll is inaccurate because it is way more accurate than any of the polls you have shown in this forum.
When looking at a poll see what the margin of error is. If it is more than +-3% it probably isn't that scientific.
Also look to see what the confidence Interval is. what the confidence interval does is show how confident the company is that their numbers are correct within the margin of error. this number should be at least 95%

I am well aware of both gallup, the polls that they do, and the methods that they use. my post was mostly a private joke between me and occrider.

Oh, I am around occrider! just watchin you warmongers from a distance over here with my Yerba Mate and Bongo drum.
That website was pretty entertaining. Even in such an obvious pro american propaganda site (as evidenced by the headlines to the right) there is still overwhelming NO vote against the war.
In fact the ONLY poll i have seen recently that shows that americans support the war is the much talked about Gallup one. Interesting, i wonder why that is.
I suggest that JohnSmith and his wife fly to Baghdad to act as human shields against the unjust and barbaric Americo-Zionist warmongers and aggressors.
On your way there, by the way, don't forget to stop in Palestine.

Iraqi body count?
It should be the body count under Saddam's reign, and the body count under the United States....... but that wouldn't balance out at all, and it would counter attack your belief, nevermind......
you should really take that out of your sig, it can't get much more narrow minded and ignorant than that.
