"Conservatives" Trying to Spin Polls

[Cary]

Rasmussen claims Romney is now up in North Carolina: http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/elections/election_2012/election_2012_presidential_election/north_carolina/election_2012_north_carolina_president

Conservative blogosphere is going apes**t over a dubious poll claiming Romney leads with women: http://communities.washingtontimes.com/neighborhood/conscience-conservative/2012/may/15/new-poll-shows-romney-leading-obama-among-women-vo/

Rasmussen has Romney up over Obama. They're all b.s.

1. Cary, help please? i don't understand why you posted those here.

it would be different if you posted evidence of the OP claims put as your reason to post the polls here. we get the skewed versions of polls all over the place all the time.


i might be inclined to post those polls to demonstrate that M$M is on the crawl to stealing another election, though.

also, i don't understand it, so will you please tell me why you put "conservatives" in quotation marks?


thank you.

2. I am encountering "conservative" disinformation in the form of these polls

By "conservatives" I mean the radical right that has managed to somehow dominate the right and the Republican Party. I do not consider them to be conservative. Conservatism is an honorable and noble philosophy and it is about caution, prudence, history, and tradition. These "conservatives" today are about a radical, extreme, and reckless agenda to bring things back to some nostalgic, sanitized history that never actually existed outside of their mythology. "Conservatives" are willing to lie, which in essence is what these polls are. These polls are a lie.

In fact the whole Republican theme of "Obama has failed" is a lie. Their whole campaign is a lie and I posted this in order to shine a light on that lie. I don't see enough people calling them out right now so I'm trying to call them out.

Hard to do that here, but...

3. thank you so much for replying, Cary! i get your points!

do you know of any even nearly reliable polling orgs, that you might be able to contrast something NEAR actual, with those cheating polls of theirs that you introduced? i would very much like to see that contrast!

thank you, again!

5. Re polls

I would look at all of the polls. I don't think the one showing Romney ahead with women is going to hold up. The Obama campaign slammed the methodology.

And Rasmussen is a rank Republican hack, a la FoxPAC.

FWIW (which I admit isn't much) I think we're ahead of Romney right now. I have been watching this site: http://www.electionprojection.com/2012elections/president12.php

Don't know much about it but I do like what it shows.
