Comments on: The MSM’s Campaign of Death by a Thousand Elections http://www.texasrainmaker.com/2006/07/14/the-msms-campaign-of-death-by-a-thousand-elections/ When I wake up I read the Bible and the newspaper... because I want to know what both sides are up to.

Every election cycle, the GOP waits til the fall election season to start correcting the lies told by the news media. Every election season, the introduction of a little balance to the voters' understanding of the facts causes the GOP fortunes to rise. If polls (even fair ones) can only measure what voters think based on the facts that have been presented, those polls taken today have no possible chance of predicting the election. The actual voting depends on a different set of facts. 1) Biased polls, of 2) voters who have not yet been afforded a chance to hear both sides of the stories are doubly worthless.

Of course not, because I live in reality. The reality where the economy is actually doing well, where terrorism on our soil isn’t considered to be an ‘inside job’ and where Republicans keep winning elections.

But you keep enjoying whatever parallel universe you’re living in.

The question before asks what party people identified with, and the breakup was 28% Republican, 33% Democratic, 27% Independent and 12% other. A 5% difference. You say they over sampled democrats, well they did but not by the margins you show. The table you provide asked people which way they lean, and no surprise, the margin of which way people lean is the same as which way they plan on voting. You're exaggerating the skew to prove your own point, you are no better than the pollsters and the MSM you vilify. <em>[Editor's Note: Thanks, Patrick.

I don't know what's funnier... how incredibly ironic Soldier's statement is, or the fact that you guys have <strong><i>no clue why</i></strong> it's ironic. The Bush Administration has told some of the most heinous lies of any presidency ever! Lies that have resulted in tens of thousands of deaths! Bush is more of a Hermann Goering aficionado, I think: "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." As far as the November elections, how'd you like to wager on the results? Are you so confident you'll put your money where your mouth is? Did that poll hurt your feelings?
