A good way to fight back is to record what the pollsters say in the six months leading up to the elections.

Then, set up a comparison for the *next* election. That is, say the republican *actually* wins by 4%, but in the six months leading up to that victory, the pollster reports them as being behind by -15%, -17%, -10%, -8%, -5%, and -4%.

Adjust the pollsters "margin of error" in the next election by the amount his poll was "wrong."

So say in the next election, he reports the republican as being behind by these same numbers:

-15%, -17%, -10%, -8%, -5%, and -4%

You post on a web site that pollsters "actual" margins of error as being (plus or minus)

19%, 21%, 14%, 12%, 9%, and 8%. Instead of the "plus or minus 3%" that they always say.

Now, even though the pollsters will scream bloody murder about this, blaming the people who they surveyed for the difference with the "actual", not their own methodology, after several elections of doing this, you *will* start to see *actual* bias in their polling.

That is, "How come in August, IN EVERY ELECTION, you have CONSISTENTLY demonstrated a margin of error of 5-10%? It looks like you have a credibility gap of between 2% and 7% BIAS!"

Pollsters will hate that, because from that point on, conservatives can publish that "AP shows the republican candidate behind by 10%, plus or minus 3%. The truth is that the republican is ahead by 1%, adjusted for AP bias."

You are right they are the Democrat media. They had did more to cloud the minds and turn American against American than any group since the civil war.

Is this kinda like Nancy Pelosi is no longer the Minority House Leader, she is now the Democratic Leader?

And Dingy Harry is no longer the Minority Senate Leader, he is now the Democratic Leader?

If the Republicans did this and there was a Republican Leader and a Democratic Leader, how would you know who was in charge?

I think the same thing.

But the thing is it has always been this bad.

At least in recent history.

Look at the Bush National Guard documents.

I wouldn't be surprised if we have another October surprise in store for us.

Well, it's a lot more polite than how I address them. Count me in.

I believe it has happened....Bob Dole, maybe? put "Senate Republican Leader" on his stationery instead of "Senate Minority Leader."

The Democrat Media

YES.

Let's start calling them by their REAL name.

Please forward this on. I believe it needs to get to Rush, Hannity, and all the big wigs.

It's time to stop calling them "names" and start calling them who and what they are.

I think this could have a powerful effect, IF it caught on.

Democrat Media, Drive-By Media, Lapdog Media, Donkey Media, The Media Wing of the Democratic Party - they all work

Several of us have been referring to them as the ENEMEDIA for many months now. This term gives some flexibility;
enemy + media = ENEMEDIA
enema + media = ENEMEDIA

They both work.

I have to go along with you and Justa, I'd refer to them as the Democrat Enemedia. :-)

This is what normal America: We who believe in God Family and Country, we who want to keep the Constitution the way our Great Founders intended are up against.

A Pro-Gay, Pro-Abortion, Anti-Gun Ownership, Frenchie surrender monkey, Socialistic Big Brother, Gubamint Education, Democrat Party. Which is in complete alignment with the overwhelming majority of the media.

The media might as well be OWNED by the DNC because it reports “the news” and acts as if it IS OWNED by the DNC.

The Democrat Media

If you think it's bias now. Wait till next year when they start pimping Her Highness or Obamba for President. I'm afraid we haven't seen anything yet compared to what that's going to be.

Having said that, a defeat or a status quo election in a couple weeks will be a good black eye for the jackals.
