It's the latest tactic among dubious newbies as, no doubt, taught at the Advanced Training Seminar.

1. Post a bogus or mis-titled poll.

2. Tell everyone you'll “kill yourself” if Obama wins.

3. Stand by “helplessly” as other newbies flood in to spread the D & G.

Barack must really be scared if he feels he can only win with
push-polling and ACORN-style push voting.

It’s a shame that Obama has his people pre-marking ballots
for senior citizens in nursing homes.

Why doesn’t Obama just try to win on the issues instead of using all these nasty little cheats?

But then, I’ve always said your Obama has no honour.

The MSM is still trying to demoralize us into staying home, like it’s just no use when we have already lost the election, so why bother going out to vote.

Then, with all the election fraud, (ACORN) they also say that it will dissuade us from voting.

But, the anger amongst faithful Conservatives is what it takes to win. The only concern I have, is in Nixon’s time, technology was vastly lacking and it was difficult to gauge public opinion.

Today, far more people are in touch and the media has used this as a much wider sweeping propaganda tool. I guess we will see one way or the other in Nov. 5.

Actually, fewer people have traditional landlines (used for polling) than in Nixon’s time.

You know, the thing about fraudulantly registered voters is that they are by definition unreliable. When you register the dead and brain dead, senior citizens with Altzeimers, homeless, alcoholics, druggies, felons et al most of them will probably never show up to actually vote. And of those that do, many will be unable to get it right once they step into the voting booth.

I’m not implying that voter fraud should be discounted, but it only goes so far. The important thing is for every pubbie voter to vote the McCain/Palin ticket.

Have you ever seen ACORN workers at a nursing home “helping” with absentee ballots? It would make you cry.

Insider Advantage is a joke, and you should know that considering all the polls you post and comment on. If Mason Dixon says the same thing then it’s true, but not Insider Advantage and Politico, sorry, nice try.

Zogby is an online poll conducted over a four day period.
You have to register to be part of it.

Care to tell us how big McCain’s lead is nationally?

They also only had 3 major MSM news outlets for 1/2 hour per day. They relied mostly on the print MSM for information and opinion, which was also quite limited in balance and scope.

There was an entirely different generation as well, with vastly different values and moral upbringing. Most were Socially Conservative, even the Democrats.

As an area precinct supervisor in North Charlotte, I have watched the same car go from precinct to precinct voting. The board of elections ignored my reports of fraud... every one of them. At one point I was threatened with arrest for wearing a sign that said:

“It is illegal to vote twice.”

Then I tried this:

“It is illegal to vote if you are not a citizen.”

I was told I could do nothing that would intimidate anyone.

That is true. So how did Nixon finally get out his message?

Someone will soon tell you to shut-up and leave her alone, stomping her feet loudly.

The Silent Majority has caller ID.

Or simply hang up. I mean, who among us would really pick up the phone and answer a series of personal questions from some person they don't even know?

And to make matters worse, the anonymous caller would most likely have obvious differences in race/age/income/education based speech inflections. It would be like getting quizzed by the guy who changes your oil or takes your order at the local fast food joint.

I were somehow cornered, I would just say Obama and split.
