"Lies and the lying liars..."(exit polls in the USA)
Errr...

http://slate.msn.com/id/1000228/

"The sad result is that the political community is reduced to bowing before the exit-poll numbers as if they were the holy writ. But exit polls were designed to do just one thing--to quickly predict who will win individual elections. On that score, the record of VNS is exemplary."

Shht, hey "fellas" naysayers, someone find this guy and tell him that he was wrong in 1998. You "know" that exit polls are made "to match the actual votes."

BTW, don't forget to mention that exit polls work WHEN "*" IS NOT PART OF THE EQUATION!

2. Exactly!!!
How can people be so stupid???!!!

Exit polls were correct every other election before Bush!

What the hell is going on here?

People have to wake up and I mean wake up now! We have to start putting this in newspapers. We have to write, email, fax, phone, and keep spreading the word around.

Sonofabitchen MSM trying to brainwash people into believing exit polls can be wrong! This has got to stop!

We democrats aren't doing anything wrong. We have been winning the elections and they're being stolen from us! We have to restore legitimacy and true majority in our government NOW! That thing sitting in the oval office is NOT OUR PRESIDENT!

Sorry, I just needed to vent. I feel better now.
