Russ Baker is obviously on the BushCo. payroll and part of the VRWC.-DU

"it’s not hard to imagine that Democrats might be at least marginally more inclined to explain their political decisions to exit pollsters,"


I said it before the election and I'll day it again. "I will lie to an exit pollster if they question me."

[cripplecreek]

day = say. d'oh.

The nutcases on the left will never accept this because they would have to face a reality that is foreign to their very being;the American people didn`t support their agenda.
This would instantly commence a slow motion avalanche in their minds rendering them incapable of even pretending to co-exist with the sane world.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I would have been surprised if the polls were anywhere near accurate. For years the Democrats have tilted polls so much to fit their agenda that most have become as reliable as reading chicken entrails to predict the weather. How were exit polls immune to that?

[Robert A Cook PE]

Thank you!

By the way, has ANYBODY (anywhere, at any time!) been able to find out exactly which precincts were supposedly the ones with (racially-biased) "long lines" and "several hour waits" for "poor people" to vote?

You, me, and fencepost know that was a scam, a flat-out lie pushed by the democrats and and their media allies, but it is one that is repeated anyway every week.

[John Lenin]

Let's talk about what DID happen in Washington State. The left is dangerous.

[randog]

In fact, it seems that Republican voters are overall slightly less likely to accurately express their preferences to in-person interviewers...

I was on a lot of pollster's lists last election season. I consistently lied every time I was called. One day I was gun-luvin' liberal, the next an anti-gay marriage moderate.

Interesting how the left is obsessed with Ohio while the Washington gubner election is set to be overturned due to leftist fraud.

[Faraday]

Meanwhile, if anyone wants to find widespread acknowledge vote fraud, voter suppression, and voter intimidation by Democrats, all they have to do is come to Milwaukee. Wisconsin was stolen from Bush. The head of the Milwaukee election commission has been fired. The son of the current representative to the US House seat and the son of the former Mayor of the city are under indictment for sabotage related to the election. Some city wards had a vote of 120% of eligible voters. I'm sure the moonbats think this is just fine.

[whereasandsoforth]

This article fails to mention that the only people prosecuted for election shenanigans have been democrats. And then we have Washington state.

The truth, as if it matters, is that democrats lost big again. They collectively refuse to acknowledge that fact. They think if they lie and scream FRAUD! long enough, some reasonable fool will believe them and vote their way next time. What a pipe dream!

The democrats judge the rest of the nation by their own actions and desires. They are liars and losers, so everyone must be. Its a pathetic way to live, but then again, being a democrat today is pathetic and requires a lot of dishonesty.

"I will lie to an exit pollster if they question me."

I am not sure I could form and speak the words "I voted for Kerry." If I did, I think I would have to a bar and lick an ashtray to get the taste out of my mouth.

[cripplecreek]

Michigan was "iffy" at best.

So, absent the emergence of true polling methodology experts screaming theft, we may reasonably conclude that no evil genius rigged the results.

Dammit, Karl, I paid you to rig the vote.:)

[winner3000]

"I am convinced that there was real and massive voter suppression in Ohio, and that it was probably deliberate. I think the recount in Ohio was a sham, and the subversion of the recount is in itself suggestive of coverup of fraud. I think Kenneth Blackwell should be jailed."

Wow! And this is one of their sane ones! It's funny that while she's refuting one conspiracy theory, she endorses many other theories without any shred of evidence.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

Thank you. I've just added this thread to my links page.

"Ohio had been stolen"

I live here. I felt Ohio would go Bush for a long time; it was only 2 months before the election when I started to be a little concerned. Kerry ads were running every other whipstitch, and every dam! day, I would see out of state plates everywhere, any time of the day and night. Registration people were out in force. We received several phone calls out of the blue from obvious Moveon types, looking to poll us, which we hung up on.

When we went to vote at a little setup in a church, we got there before 6 am, and within 15 minutes, the line had had to be redone 2 times, and was almost out the door. The woman directly in front of me tried to vote in the wrong precinct, and acted like she was innocent of the whole thing, not knowing where to go.

High school seniors in the inner city essentially had the day off, 'escorting' people to the polling place. For weeks, people had been going into schools to advocate for 'Rock the Vote' and other such organizations, and offering to pay people to volunteer for the Kerry cause. Note: there was no alternative group of Bushies in schools that I knew about. Rumors abounded among those who accept handouts that Bush had the WTC disaster planned, and Michael Moore's film was shown as gospel.

So, I became concerned that Ohio would be stolen, especially with the frenzy of out of staters so obviously here for the purpose of rigging the vote. Fortunately, people like Hannity and other speakers came here to speak, and to get people out to register. Otherwise, I thought Ohio would be stolen--by the Dems.

But, as it turned out, we Ohioans really do not cotton to outsiders much, even if they do want to act all friendly for the moment. I would say that the nonsense Kerry caused here helped get out massive support that worked against him. Then again, those $500 shoes or whatever they were didn't do much for the good ole' boy look he tried to foster, and that dog just didn't hunt.

"I will lie to an exit pollster if they question me."

In the 30 odd years I've been involved in politics, I've only been polled twice. I lied both times. I don't want politicians following polls and the MSM turning it into a horse race, so my hope was if polls become inaccurate and useless, politicians will quit using them. I remember reading on one of the election day FR threads a gal who said she was approached by an exit pollster and she lied to them. Good for her!

[combat_boots]

I was ready for some blue helmet types to come to my polling place. I was going to be tempted to slit some tires there on that one....after voting, of course.

The helmets never materialized.

Michael Moore rented himself a street block or something in Ohio to investigate our voting practices. Fortunately he stayed where he could keep some bodyguards on payroll or something, and didn't venture out into the hinterland. He'd have gotten himself into a snipe hunt out here.
