Anyone else find this statement amusing?

1. uhm yeah. he unites his peeps in dividing this nation !

[Liberal Veteran]

2. No shit. It's a simple case of "do the math".

You can't really call yourself a "uniter" if half characterize you as a divider.

[Redleg]

11. The problem is a lot of Kool-Aid drinkers can't do the math.

EOM

3. No one is even reading or listening to the questions anymore.

They're just seeing who the question favors and picking the answer that aligns with their choice. Totally meaningless.

7. You're totally right, at least on the Bush side.

"Is Bush over twenty feet tall?"

YES! YES!!! HE IS SO TALL YOU CANNOT SEE HIS GLOWING GOD-INFUSED FACE!!!!

[donco6]

12. heh! no kidding. eom

[Skittles]

4. they supply proof of who is right without even know it

pathetic

[high density]

5. 48% said he was a uniter, 48% said he was a divider?

LOL, that's probably the best poll I've ever seen.

[kostya]

6. Dripping with irony. HA!

[HFishbine]

8. Proof positive that 48% are wrong

What a delicious bit of logic. Logically the 48% who think he is a uniter cannot possibly be correct (unless the margin of error is 48%)

[MidwestTransplant]

9. That just shows how skewed the sample was

Even many Republicans would admit that Bush isn't a uniter. It's just a fact.

[Redleg]

10. Yes. A very amusing statement.

If half of the people can't agree on Bush he must be a divider.

[Sean Reynolds]

13. So if 48% think he's a divider...and 48% think he unites......

Doesn't that mean he's divided 'em up?

[jbond56]

15. lol

Proof he is a divider!

I would give him uniter at 70%.

[zaj]

18. DING, DING, DING!!!

You got it!

[hippiegranny]

14. come on, we ALL know Boooosh is a uniter!

we are the most energized Dem party in years!

[PartyPooper]

16. I reckon you just have to average the two numbers for the answer.

:silly:

[Still_Loves_John]

17. Bill Schneider loves this poll

If I hear is "The country is divided over whether Bush is--a divider!" I'll break something.
