Well, you guys are arguing on the validity of polls. I would like to do that too, but me and my 'loud mouth' are still trying to figure out how a vote of "yes, the president should be censured and allowed to move on" means that "82 percent of the public thinks he should be impeached". Polling is a science that can be very accurate. But like science, it can be done well or poorly. Personally, I see the msnbc questions as one step below moronic. On that perhaps we can agree. B.

Hey Andy, Thanks for your comment. I didn't mean the polls were rabid. I was just commenting on the form of the MSNBC poll. The other polls certainly have their problems too. And "man on the street polls" are pretty bad too. They serve their purpose: showing some people's opinion. But they certainly do not reflect the relative opinion of everyone. You know, even the other day, I changed my mind on something, but I couldn't find the pollster to tell her. By the way, I don't think the Starr Report is fair, but it doesn't claim to be. And I don't think Clinton should resign, but he should be censured. And I don't think Lewinsky deserves an apology, she knew she was fooling around with a married man. I think Bill Clinton should apologize to the American people, first and foremost.
