Methinks Celinda Lake has an agenda... and it is not accurate polling, but an anti-abortion outcome. hlthe2b Oct 2018 #6

Methinks you should read up on Celinda Lake before besmirching her character... tritsofme Oct 2018 #9

Doesn't mean she doesn't have an agenda. This finding is a profound outlier, it is only reasonable hlthe2b Oct 2018 #11

Again, accusing her of having an anti-abortion agenda because you dislike the results tritsofme Oct 2018 #25

I do know the history and anyone who does recognizes there is something really wrong with this poll hlthe2b Oct 2018 #28

Honestly, I don't particularly care about the results here or your interpretation,just wanted others tritsofme Oct 2018 #32

Do NOT attribute words nor characterization in my post that I never used. THAT IS DISHONEST hlthe2b Oct 2018 #33

You accused her of polling with an anti-abortion agenda. tritsofme Oct 2018 #35

I don't need to defend my creds with any of those organizations, esp. Planned Parenthood hlthe2b Oct 2018 #40

I'm not defending/don't care about the poll in question. tritsofme Oct 2018 #42

You don't care if it is false and thus propaganda favorable to anti-choice RW factions? hlthe2b Oct 2018 #44

No, my entire purpose for this series of posts is to completely reject the idea that Lake is tritsofme Oct 2018 #45

Your insults are rather misplaced when you can not even defend her methods nor analysis nor motives hlthe2b Oct 2018 #46

Again, people can judge for themselves. I just didn't want your nonsense attacks to go unanswered. tritsofme Oct 2018 #48

And, I don't want false propaganda to go unanswered nor worse, defended. Nor do MOST of us! hlthe2b Oct 2018 #49

She questioned. How dare she, eh?? boston bean Oct 2018 #37
