Answer the Polls! Raise the Approval Ratings of Democrats!

Last edited Sun Nov 17, 2013, 07:07 PM - Edit history (2)

The corporate media is trying to spin the the ACA to make Obama and the Democrats look like failures and compare it to Bush's response to Huricane Katrina.

Don't believe their hype. The ACA is working. I know because I am relying on it, myself. We need to show our approval.

Answer the polls on Gallup, NBC/WSJ, PPP and other surveys. We need to make our voices heard.

We must show that we approve of the ACA. Above all, we must vote for democrats in 2014. Otherwise, the republicans could win over both chambers of congress and more state legislatures, which will leave millions, including myself, without healthcare.

Answer the polls, vote, and tell others to do the same.

Stay alert, stay active.

I never bother responding to "DU this poll" threads. I don't think anyone pays serious attention to a so-called poll that's completely unscientific and measures nothing except which side's adherents had nothing better to do than galvanize a lot of responses.

If a serious polling organization like Gallup selects you to be polled, then, yes, it's useful to respond.

Maybe it's because I ALWAYS vote - even when it's just judges or some bond proposal. I also get called for jury duty an awful lot. I wish I'd get chosen to be a Nielson family - I'd make my opinions on reality tv very clear.
