Many of us have been telling them, we are out of money for their left wing b$!.

Another sad commentary on the level of education in our public schools.
It looks like they only gave them four choices...yep, that’s a good poll...
..for the good of "the children"...they'd still live better than the average...Joe the Plumber.
Understand Streisand herself has/had a multi-million dollar home...just for her artwork. Think of how much good that money could do for the needy, and "the children"?
Throw Wall Street into that 90% bracket....wonder how many people would be surprised to find out that, despite the media's attempt to sway public opinion, Wall Street's run mostly by dem's and dem supporters.
(effing hypocrites)
So long as they are polling, you know they are skewing and lying.
Excellent answer, re my question when are pollster lying and skewing the data:
‘It is just like when a liar’s lips are moving,
So long as they are polling, you know they are skewing and lying.’
