You've posted polls previously G-man...


I've made it pretty clear that I only post them to demonstrate (in essence) that you cherry pick polls to skew things your way.

Don't believe me? I'll make you a deal.

You stop posting about public opinion polls and I will too. Not a single one.

I'm ready and able to talk about issues and not polls. Can you say the same thing?

Personally, I don't think you can do it but I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt.


Why do you feel polls are somehow invalid G-man, I would be interested in hearing the reasoning.


As touched on above, there's little doubt that one side can cherry pick the polls he thinks support his side. Furthermore, these polls are put forth without, for example, consideration of the methodology of the poll as part of an examination of its validity.

As such, polls aren't going to prove anything here except, perhaps, for valid polls close to election day that might predict the winners.

Your polls aren't convincing anybody you're right and my responsive polls only result in you saying 'a republican did it too' (paraphrase, not actual quote).

As noted above, I'm tired of that. I'd rather discuss the issues and not whether or not you're cherry picking the polls. And I'm really tired of "a republican did it too" as your excuse for said cherry picking.

Therefore, I made my offer, posted above. I'm taking away your excuse.

So what's it going to be?
