Time to stop accepting polls and start CHALLENGING them!!

[DemsUnited]

Let's face it, the media loves polls. So here's what our Democratic surrogates need to start doing on all those talk shows:

CNN pundit: "The latest CNN/Gallup poll has Bush up by 8 points even though most thought Kerry did better in the debates. Why is this?"

DEM Spokesperson: "You know, there are serious questions about bias in the Gallup polls. Until Gallup does a better job of explaining its methodology, I'm surprised that reputable news organizations still use them."

ABC pundit: According to our daily tracking poll, Kerry just can't seem to overtake Bush.

DEM spokesperson: Well, according to the ABC tracking polls in 2000, Bush was consistently ahead of Gore by 2 - to 4 points. That sure turned out to be wrong, didn't it?

You get the drift. Stop giving credibility to these polls by talking about them like they are credible!

Bottom line, most of the so called pundits are sheep and will repeat whatever is fed them. And I'm sorry to say, that on polls and other issues, the Repubs are doing a better job of feeding the media the juicy lines.

1. The media needs these polls to promote themselves.

They want to make the race seem close to keep everyone glued to their televisions.

BTW, I just returned from a trip to Northern VA. I was pleasantly surprised by the number of K/E signs I saw. I talked to people who have been out canvassing, and they have been getting very positive responses! (This was in Fairfax County).

3. Use National Media List (above) to write emails to CNN, etc....

It doesn't take that much time. If enough of us politiely but FIRMLY tell them our views, they will at least know that there is a lot of bad feelings about them. The National Media List is a helpful tool. USE IT!

2. More important. get the message out to your "gloom and doom" friends

I am having a frank talk w all my "gloom and doom" friends this week re

Gallop poll manipulation,
attempts to repress Dem voter turnout,
and the absolute NECESSITY of getting their sorry depressed negative butts TO THE POLLS TO VOTE FOR KERRY,

no matter how much CNN tries to tell them their vote doesn't matter. Because, it will matter a lot.
