21. Are there really this many online Libs/Dems/Progs?
Every single online poll I see is OVERWHELMINGLY against everything Bush does.

Are there really so few repubs/(neo)cons with internet access? I don't look at CNN or MSNBC, but I do visit those sites to vote in online polls...I can't believe these 10s of thousands of vote differences aren't significant in their variance from 'scientific' polls.

The 'scientific' polls which somehow never get below 40% for B*'s numbers must be unscientifically weighted, or postfixed like the election exit polls...sort of like: We *know* there are this many voting repubs in the country (don't we?), and we assume without evidence that the non-voting rest of the country more or less matches that, so we could take 33,270 votes against B*'s war performance and 12,097 for it, and somehow weight it so it comes out 54% against, 46% for...WHEE!
