Never underestimate the gullibility of the American public.

It seems three recent polls, including Fox Poll are getting similar results.

I would like to disbelieve this poll, except I see people right here on FR saying things like it's actually good for the GOP to lose, i.e. have the Dems win, people are advocating that conservatives stay home "to teach Republicans a lesson" and even when some of us point out that such an attitude would result in the Dems winning, they say that is actually good. I find this highly disturbing.

The results of well done polls of likely voters in districts that are in play might disturb me. This kind of poll is pretty meaningless as an indicator for the mid-term elections.

It is foolish to believe all the polls, and foolish to believe none of them. The trick is figuring out what polling firms to trust, and what kind of poll method to trust.

I think it is important to remember "unnamed democrat" runs better in all presidential polls than any real live democrat. Here, I suspect unnamed democrat beats unnamed republican. But when you start naming names, the republicans come out better.

Also, this is registered voters not likely voters. Registered voters who don't vote are likely disillusioned which is another word for democrat.

Finally, the lead for unnamed democrat is only 11% which is not that big of a lead.

"and even when some of us point out that such an attitude would result in the Dems winning, they say that is actually good. I find this highly disturbing."

They treat us like peons and disregard our every argument.

It's either vote the bums out and hope the ones that survive get the message or disregard what they say and prepare for the inevitable police action.

The republican politicos are like Superman, Strong, Fast, and Tough. The problem is that, as my Grandmother used to say, they get too big for their britches.

The conservative electorate is like Batman. We're nowhere near as strong, fast or tough. What we DO have is, an indomitable will, an exquisite sense of what level of violence is appropriate, and with the vote, a huge chunk of kryptonite.

In essence we provide, for republican politicians, the same service that Bats does for Supes. We keep 'em on the straight and narrow.

They've wandered off the path, and it's time to get the kryptonite.
