Subject: RE: BS: Proof that Bush lied
No Dickey. I'm not saying I don't trust the polls. You are saying that the poll numbers are proof of something else, and I am saying you cannot make that leap without other evidence.

And yes, it is possible that the 1% is the reuslt of the catapult. It is possible that 59.5% is the result of a catapult (i.e. without the propaganda campaign, the poll would have yielded a rate 58.5% lower. And yes, the 59.5 is totally made up, just to illustrate the point.

And yes, if you are going to claim that the polls prove something, and another piece of information is necessary to support that claim, the burden is upon you.
