    You don't find it frustrating though? It's like a never ending cycle. It's their fault, well they do it too, yeah but what's that got to do with this person doing it, because there's precedent and on and on and on, and we are ALL guilty of this including myself. Maybe I was just too high to realize it before.

    That could be it. When all else is said and done the other side did it first. That doesn't hold true for threads where the subject doesn't have any precedence like the Iran deal thread. But politician's shenanigans have been going on for a long time on both sides and the middle

    So just where do these polls come from? Who takes them, do they just call random people around the country?

    I read somewhere that Obama was going to endorse a candidate. If I were that candidate I would offer my appreciation and politely tell him no thank you. His endorsement would be like Lou Holtz' Pep Talk.

    All of the polls will state their methodology on their websites and their margin of error. Some of them take very large samples and have low margins of error, others don't. All of the reputable pollsters do random sampling around the country for national polls.

    In the case that I posted, Real Clear Politics (which is a conservative website, BTW) posted a table of several polls to give a look at the spread between different polling methods and to make a composite rating.

    There are dozens of polls. You can make them say anything you want. If I stand outside of a marijuana store in Colorado and ask everybody if pot should be legal everywhere my poll would say 100% of Coloradans favor legalization. If I ask a bunch of white men in Livingston Parish what they think of black people it would probably be 75% racist.

    Funny Red real funny. It would be if it wasn't so pitiful. Just because she hasn't been investigated, indicted, tried, convicted and sentenced in 6 weeks you shout that she's innocent.
    If you were honest in the debate you would acknowledge that the FBI rarely admits who the target of their investigations is. Likewise they also start with the minions and work their way up to the true target of their investigation.
    The facts are screwing with your arguments my friend. The facts will win out.
