Re: "You laugh a lot." Hey! I'm a happy guy, Peter! Re: [ad hominem] "Explain how this fits your defense:" Just what mind-altering substance are you favoring* these days, Peter?* No problem, Pete! A) since you repeatedly posted (over-and-over) bogus statistical claims (clearly belied by the very links to the Rassmussen poll, included in your posts, the same poll you were falsely portraying the results for...) the question just had to be asked at some point: What the Heck was wrong with Peter? (Tipsiness presented itself as just one, of several, possible conclusions to explain the odd behavior. <g>) (And so my earlier puzzled observation: It ain't necessarily ad hominem to correctly observe that you were misrepresenting (repeatedly) the statistical facts reported in that one Rassmussen poll... ) Bizzarely claiming that "Obama's approval ratings are falling like a rock", "Obama's approval continues to plummet", and "His support have fallen by about a quarter", "he is on a trajectory for joining Pelosi as one of the most hated people in America", "Obama's approval rating is melting down", just seemed a bit hallucinatory, especially since the very Rassmussen poll that you were quoting was very clear in stating that: support for the President is 'strong and steady' (and of course, those facts of fairly steadu and high support being also confirmed by every other major national opinion poll that anyone might wish to examine....) just seems to establish a perplexing propensity to IMAGINE whatever the heck you are already predisposed to see when supposedly 'looking at the data'. :-)
