Survey Results: Dem vs. Republican

<< < (4/5) > >>

Ant:
This post isn't about the past, but you obviously want to make a point that past data shows the trend is in the other direction.  Actually past data shows just the opposite as well:

1.  Bush once had approval ratings in the 80s, now his approval rating is in the mid 50s.
2.  Bush won by the slimmest margin of any incumbent president since woodrow wilson.
3.  Senatorial seats are not linked to population.  In fact, democrats recieved far more votes than republicans.  Unforuntately, every state is granted the same # of seats, so NY and Cali, recieve the same # of seats as Wyoming.  In actual elections, electoral votes are weighted as we all know.
4.  According to a recent study, Americans now have a more favorable opinion of democrats than of republicans, even though republicans have had control for the past four years.
5.  Record numbers of prominent republicans voted Kerry.  Over 20 former republican senators, govenors, and congressmen voted Kerry in 04.
6.  No incumbent has ever lost during a time of war.  The public doesn't like to change horses midstream. 

If your argument is that "trends don't exist, unless the party loses" I dont think that makes much sense.  If a president is highly respected, and then barely wins, and 48% of the population votes on him being "incompetent." Well, then I dunno, there might be a trend there.  Of course by your logic, that is impossible, because Bush won, it doesn't matter if he won by 2 votes or 20 million votes, he still won.  Actually, when Clinton won he only had 44% of the vote.  John Kerry had 48% of the vote against an incumbent in war time. 

But let's make it a lot simpler for you. All you have to do is contruct a simple graph.  Plot Bush's approval rating over time, and then tell me what  direction the trend is in?

If you can't look at facts, and admit the obvious, you shouldn't be arguing with me.

Trauma shut the fuck up homie!! Tell Ant he's right and it's over! Goddamn! ;D

Ant:
I love how you guys post things that make no sense, and then arrogantly assume your correct, and feel no need to justify your position.

Let's explain it somewhat simpler.  What is so difficult to understand about the concept of a prediction, and trend?  And why do you follow me around in posts, defending the village idiot, and talking trash, while saying nothing of worth?

Let's take another example:

Let's say I 'predict' the yankees will the next world series.  Then you come in and say "no your wrong, the yankees already lost the world series last last world series."  Does that make any sense? 

acbaylove:
1- Predictions? Shit, the same ones who predicted Gore and Kerry as Presidents of the USA? Yeah, right.. ::)
2- Seriously who gives a flying fuck about predictions on 2008 anyway? Shiiiit! :-X
3- I predict Bush will be the President of the USA for the next 4 years. :-*

Rampant:
All you got to do is look at traumas picture of america, enough said.
