ABC TV JUST CALLED ME WITH A PHONY POLL
phone call | 8-20-04 | dfu

Posted on 08/20/2004 1:55:19 PM PDT by doug from upland

Man oh man are the sick-o-fants in the mainstream media worried. They will stop at nothing to spin for John Kerry.

A short time ago, I received a call from ABC Television asking me to answer questions for their poll about the UNFIT FOR COMMAND controversy.

Unbelievably, these hacks began pre-recorded questioning with: Have you heard of the Swift Boat veterans commercial by supporters of George Bush?

When I heard that question, I hung up.

Incredible. They are going to have to be pulled kicking and screaming into the valley of truth. They are not enjoying the SwiftVet true story at all.

I wish you would have listened so you could have reported on the other questions and how they were presented. These polls can be swayed simply by the presentation of the questions.

Hung up? Opportunity lost Doug. You probably could have sent them back to the drawing board with your answers.

Why didn't you tale the poll? You are well versed enough to pick apart their questions. Or was it of the "When did you stop beating your wife" variety?

No, I couldn't give answers. It was their set-up pre-recorded questions requiring me to press a button.

You should have answered the questions. Your response would have represented 200,000 people in their poll projections if they were polling 1,000 people nationwide.

I would have spent the time giving them a good chewing out about their phony poll, telling them to do their homework before they asked such a question as that.

Seize the day. 'Pod

It was local ABC television in Los Angeles. I just got into a huge argument with a guy in the newsroom who still claims the Swiftvet ads are by supporters of George Bush. The Swifties do not care about Bush and many would be voting for the Democrat if it were not Kerry. They are supposed to be calling me back after talking to the group doing the poll. This is as phony as Bill Clinton's tears at a Ron Brown funeral.

I couldn't press a number for a response because it was a phony question. This is not a commercial by Bush supporters.

ABC Television in Los Angeles just called me back. They agreed that the poll was not accurate.

ABC IS PULLING THE POLL!

The truth wins one.
