[poll closed] some surprises

The mystery of James Tague


There've been a couple more votes in the polls [results here so far] but not enough to warrant a new post. The puzzling thing was that the question on the NHS had:

47.6% saying it was a disaster, 38.1% saying it was OK and 14.3% saying it was hunky dory.

However, the second poll gave:

80.0% saying it was a disaster, 20.0% saying it was OK and 4.0% not able to say [making 104%?!!].

It's fair to say then that overall, people were not happy with the NHS and would like to see changes. Comments seemed to indicate that it needed to become more people friendly, support bureaucrats less and have less wastage. One would predict that.

Other polls

On other questions, small majorities thought JFK was killed by a lone gunman and David Kelly committed suicide but huge majorities said that the economy was NOT improving and that Diana simply had an accident.

On JFK, I clicked into one page only last evening which blows that out of the water - the James Tague page. No suggestion was made that he was not hit by fragments from a bullet hitting the pavement and so the single bullet is negated. There was so much other evidence negating the single bullet, nay, making it impossible, so the supporters of that in this poll just have not done their homework.

On Diana, how do you explain the 12 people lined up along the tunnel wall and the light shone into the driver's eyes? That's before we even begin. The anomalies are many, evidence not admitted, conflict between doctors and the whitewash enquiries still haven't seen much of the evidence addressed.

One can only conclude that people are credulous and easily manipulated by clever and unscrupulous others. Here's one example. Now who would plan a holiday based on a promise? :)

It doesn't personally affect me but it does overall when it allows things to be foisted on society, e.g. another term for Labour at the last general election. And I'll never forget the way Watergate broke and the people went blindly ahead and re-elected Nixon in a landslide. As for Obama .......

  2. I'm not into them personally - I'd prefer to know the truth and when someone like Tague is ignored, his evidence suppressed and even the curb stone where the bullet hit is removed from the road, then I, for one, would like to know why.

    So Anon, you stick to the theories you love and I'll keep pushing for what actually happened.

  3. "I'm not into them personally"

    Have you read your blog? You seem to buy into almost all of them at some point James.

  4. How was Nixon re-elected? McGovern.

    I don't care if phosphorous grenades were waiting for the chauffeur, he was drunk and airborne. That's really moving.

    In polling on a blog, there may be two opposing factors. First, your readers are very unrepresentative of the public. Predictably.
    But second, there is a volunteer industry to spread left-wing disinformation in media, radio, blogging, and internet sites. If one fellow notes that the absurdity of rising sea levels caused by global warming is not supported by the simple fact that sea levels have not risen one millimeter in eightly years, you can count on fifty google searches appearing and claiming otherwise to bury it. In talk radio, they are called seminar callers, which they are. All in all, you should be insulted if they leave you alone, especially in a poll.

  5. No, not at all, Lord Nazh. If you look through my blog, you'll see I only presnt something if I have the info to back it.

    Look at the current one on JFK. I am interested only in the facts. If I can't get 'em, I don't run the post. Simple.

    Theories are for others to deal in.

  6. Xlbrl - left wing trolls do abound. Maybe there are right wing trolls too but no one seems to talk about them.

  7. James,

    Right wing trolls have not become, not as Democrats paint them: mobs. They are now emulating Obama; they are community organizers.

  8. It depends on the media source. Some newspapers have a left wing bias and some a right wing bias. And if you look even more closely it sometimes possible to guess which of the parties have the influence over the paper.

  9. No James, there are no right wing trolls. It is in the nature of the leftist to deceive and manipulate as a point of pride. It is not possible to be right wing and not despise those things. That is the reason right wingers are occasionally right, and left wingers are always wrong. When we deceive others, we eventually deceive ourselves. The two right wingers I knew of who did not depise manipulation are now left wingers.
