I'm sure from the right side, it looks to you that there was no attempt to reach across the aisle, but take, for example, the health care bill - it is incredibly watered down due to the compromises that the Democratic leadership made to secure conservative votes. Do you remember that?
I don't remember that at all. I remember the dems completely ignoring the republican's calls to address each issue within healthcare in separate, better written and more easily understood legislation. I remember the dems cramming it all into one massive clusterf@#$ of a bill and then stuffing it full of pork to get it passed.

I'd like to see a new poll that asks people if they give accurate answers when polled, or if they lie to mess with the accuracy because they're sick of how much weight has been placed in poll results.

Then we have different memories of the same event.

How would you tell if they lied on that poll?
It's a viscious cycle, ain't it?
If I answered that poll, I'd do what I usually do - lie my ass off. In polls, I'm an extreme left wing liberal that has the Obama 'O' tattooed on my right cheek. I'd say "Yes, I always answer accurately".

Being the commie pinko librul that I've been painted (in this forum), I would tell the truth. I have no ulterior motives or paranoid alternative agendas that, it seems, so many conservatives have.

Not that I'm calling you paranoid or anything.
Nothing paranoid about what I do, I just want the pollsters to go away and leave me alone. I figure as the polls become more and more innacurate (which is the current trend) the less and less they'll bother me.
My standard response to political phone calls is to say "well, I was gonna vote for your guy, until you interrupted my dinner. Now I'm gonna vote the other way. You blew it."

I believe I am the one who painted you with that brush and you have proven time and time again that the paint was right for the portrait.
I believe that a number of times back in the beginning Pineguy under his previous alias, real name, stated that I should give me opinions of what I was posting, but here he states that he didn't want to do that. All he wanted to do was give some Inaccurate Leftist Progressive Marxist spin to something that was proven just 10 days ago by a landslide election. He picks a poll that shows what he wants to shove down our throats.
Wasn't even worth a " nice try", but of course that pretty lady SC backed him up, Liberal that she is, but still pretty and extremely nice person.
