Bull!

The majority of Americans do NOT support the bastardization of Marriage, to accommodate the 3% of those engaged in a deviant life style.

As I've been explaining since last summer, the use of polling to determine public opinion has collapsed to utter nonsense.

Currently the response rate is 9%. That's such a small number a dedicated group can inform its members/adherents/coreligionists/whatever to keep on the look out for calls from pollsters ~ AND ALWAYS ANSWER THEM ~ or, alternative use their CALL BACK option.

Done in earnest a group can have its opinion AMPLIFIED 11 times.

We know National Education Association and other public employee unions, as well as the abortion industry and homosexuals (of all kinds) can be depended on to respond the same way to certain questions. If their response rate is above 9% their opinion ~ which is a minority opinion ~ will seem to the pollsters to be more than half the public response.

They are doing it already ~ then there's the problem of wealthier folks having more than one personal phone number.

“In your face America!” - Your friends, the liberals.

[who knows what evil?]

This is just the communist media pulling phony polls out of their *ss and beating those incapable of thinking for themselves over the head with it 24/7/365...

So, whaddaya think about that?

[txhurl]

BS is right.

[JRandomFreeper]

Lies. But that's what liberals do.

Welcome to Free Republic.

I’m with G Larry. Bull! Funny that this is all coming out today - may we call it a Talking Point? Came out on an APB email? Even with abortion being legal, support is dwindling and the fight against that horrific immorality is being won in the hearts and minds of people who know it is wrong.

So it will be with sodomy. They can rename it ‘Marriage Equality.” Oh give me a break. Let’s name it what has always been called - perversion, queer, homo, sodomy.

Bullying and pretending something is morally right that is NOT morally right do not make it so, suddenly, after 5000+ years of every society on earth considering it a perversion. Never give up the fight.

[Chode]

yeah, right...

Who gives a damn? The youth in this country are the godless and mindless generation, betrayed by the previous one. Their future is bleak.

Those who think gay marriage is winning the day should review statewide election results over the last few years. Opinion polls vs. anonymous votes within the confines of an election booth are two different things.

Most want to appear open minded and with it.

Lol.

Love that one. She's adorable.

As I've been explaining since last summer, the use of polling to determine public opinion has collapsed to utter nonsense.

And yet the 2012 election polling, particularly the state polls, were dead on accurate. So accurate in fact that poll aggregators, such as the NY Slimes 538 blog, got all 50 states correct in 2012. The people that were wrong were the folks that refused to believe the polling that showed Hussein being re-elected and Democrats winning most of the big competitive Senate races.

Polls are getting more accurate, not less so. The science and methodology is getting better, not worse. Obviously you need to see the poll questions on specific issues to make sure they aren't loaded to achieve a desired result, but most of these polls with neutral questions are very accurate - especially when you take an aggregate of polling for things like generic ballot, presidential approval, etc.

Even that stupid unskewed polls guy admitted the pollsters were right and he was completely wrong. It was sad watching so many conservatives buy into his BS, but at least he had the stones to admit his assumptions about polling were wrong. Dick Morris is another one that refused to believe the polling and has since admitted the turnout model the pollsters predicted was absolutely accurate and he was completely wrong.

• ...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said. [Rand Paul: Time for GOP to soften [immigration, gay marriage] stance]

• One day after announcing on his radio show that he is "truly considering" running in 2014 for the U.S. Senate seat now held by New Jersey's Frank Lautenberg, Rivera amped up his message today in a television interview and a column on the Fox News Latino website... a moderate Republican who is fiscally conservative but also supports gay marriage and Roe v. Wade... [Geraldo Rivera declares himself a 'moderate Republican' as he eyes U.S. Senate run]
