It's misleading because you know the actual, posted results of the survey, yet choose to present those results differently. The fact that you continue to do this tells me that you realize how weak your argument is.
Are you claiming that Zogby posted the results you cite ... or that nobody has posted the summary I cite?
Congress is appropriating state police powers under the guise of regulating commerce. There is no objective of regulting commerce.
I am claiming that you know the actual Zogby poll rsults (if for no other reason than I told you), and that you are misleading others by choosing to present those results differently. It's immaterial whether you summarized the results or saw them somewhere else -- repeating anothers misstatement is no excuse.
Are you saying that Congress has the power to regulate interstate commerce but no power to enforce those regulations?
No, I'm not, but you have to try and make it look that way to keep your sophistic house of cards propped up.
Blatant nonsense. If I know the distance between the soles of my feet and my navel, and the distance between my navel and the top of my head, is it "misleading others" by simply telling them I'm six feet tall?
It's immaterial whether you summarized the results or saw them somewhere else -- repeating anothers misstatement is no excuse.
An accurate statement is certainly not a "misstatement."
If those two separate distances are disproportionate to the general population (in other words, you are misshapen), then you are indeed misleading others by solely telling them your overall height.
That happens to be the case with this survey. You know the results are skewed, yet you present them in a way to hide that fact. That's called "misleading".
It can be an accurate but a misleading statement.
I have no desire nor intention whatsoever in controlling your behavior.

Really? What is the strongly/somewhat distribution for a 'typical' survey? Supply proof.
Irrelevant. The results in this survey are significantly skewed.
You glossed it over. You're misrepresenting the facts as you know them. You are attempting to mislead others on this forum. You are dishonest.
And every time I catch you being dishonest on this forum, I will expose your antics to the public.
You are free to do whatever your little heart desires. I cannot nor will not stop you from exercising your free will.
I, however, along with others in society can certainly set up consequences, leaving you free to choose your course of action. That is a right I retain.

Not misleading at all.
You've advocated, many times, that 'majority rule' law can prohibit & control behavior.
You are free to do whatever your little heart desires. I cannot nor will not stop you from exercising your free will.

There you go again, admitting you want to control behavior by 'setting up consequences' -- by making prohibitory laws..
leaving you free to choose your course of action. That is a right I retain.
You and your fellow socialists "retain" no right to ignore our Constitution in enacting prohibitions.
Irrelevant. The results in this survey are significantly skewed.
By what standard? The robertpaulsen-says-so rule?
Your dissembling is proof enough.
This is one for the robertpaulsen Hall of Fame.
No, the fact is that you've been dissembling because the actual results are skewed against the argument you're trying to make.
You can't support your old unsupported claims with new unsupported claims. (But you can amuse me by trying.)
