State GOP wants Star Tribune to suspend poll

MINNEAPOLIS - The Star Tribune has declined to suspend its Minnesota Poll at the request of State Republican Party Chairman Ron Eibensteiner, who said the poll is "fatally flawed."

On Friday, Eibensteiner called on the newspaper to suspend the poll until after the Nov. 2 election.

Last week, Eibensteiner called for the Star Tribune to fire its pollster for what he said was years of overrepresenting Democrats and underrepresenting Republicans in the poll. Days later, a new Minnesota Poll of likely voters showed Democratic presidential challenger Sen. John Kerry leading President Bush among likely voters, 50 percent to 41 percent.

Don't they know that the only polls that are allowed are ones that are slanted towards pResident Unelected?

of mass demoralization.

As of this week, Bush's leads are 13, 8, 4, 1 and 0. And suddeny, the state polls are unraveling. Is this the result of a national GOP effort to pressure ALL the pollsters, with Minnesota refusing to take the dive?

of Gallup and CBS/NYT polls to bloggers.

Another example of the GOP making a stand and planting the thought of liberal bias into the conciousness of the voting public.

fucking control freaks.

Plame outing, deficits, unemployment, and another list to be supplied later under seal of matters that haven't come out yet and shouldn't.

that shows Kerry ahead is wrong??? I admit I'm a senior citizen and very confused...please explain...








"Strategic Vision, a Republican-oriented national poll of likely voters, released the latest poll, showing Kerry ahead in Minnesota by three percentage points, 48 to 45.

Eibensteiner said the other polls "are one more piece of damning evidence showing that the Minnesota Poll is flawed and failing the voters of Minnesota."

Even J Goebbels would be proud

GOEBBELS' PRINCIPLES OF PROPAGANDA
Based upon Goebbels' Principles of Propaganda by Leonard W. Doob, published in Public Opinion and Propaganda; A Book of Readings edited for The Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues.

1. Propagandist must have access to intelligence concerning events and public opinion.

2. Propaganda must be planned and executed by only one authority.
a. It must issue all the propaganda directives.

b. It must explain propaganda directives to important officials and maintain their morale.

c. It must oversee other agencies' activities which have propaganda consequences

3. The propaganda consequences of an action must be considered in planning that action.

4. Propaganda must affect the enemy's policy and action.
a. By suppressing propagandistically desirable material which can provide the enemy with useful intelligence

b. By openly disseminating propaganda whose content or tone causes the enemy to draw the desired conclusions

c. By goading the enemy into revealing vital information about himself

d. By making no reference to a desired enemy activity when any reference would discredit that activity

5. Declassified, operational information must be available to implement a propaganda campaign

6. To be perceived, propaganda must evoke the interest of an audience and must be transmitted through an attention-getting communications medium.

7. Credibility alone must determine whether propaganda output should be true or false.

8. The purpose, content and effectiveness of enemy propaganda; the strength and effects of an expose; and the nature of current propaganda campaigns determine whether enemy propaganda should be ignored or refuted.

9. Credibility, intelligence, and the possible effects of communicating determine whether propaganda materials should be censored.

10. Material from enemy propaganda may be utilized in operations when it helps diminish that enemy's prestige or lends support to the propagandist's own objective.

bulance?

the Star-Tribune seemed to always be a decent newspaper. I hope Minnesotans realize this paper is being attacked for daring to post a real poll.

... and drop the Doom song. It's kinda glomy. I've had Doom and gloom for the past 4 years. Can't you sing something more vivid?

Here's a request: Going out to "Big" dick cheney. "Oompa-Loompa"; and "You and Bushie still owe me a license plate you sick..."

While there are no know recordings of song #2. Likely there will be plenty of rehearsal time.
translated: "get something right for once you dumbasses.

of it's second DVD volume in the past few weeks. Those who have watched the show know what it's refering to.

I'll change it when I think of something else that fits my mood, which could be in 5 minutes or 5 weeks.

And all the polls are under the control of K-K-Karl, a bunch of defeatists said so!

Therefore, this isn't happening! (Gee, now I feel better!)


Oh, before I forget - "FUCK YOU, Eibensteiner!"

:eyes:

And not the kind I like either. Meoooowwwwww!:)
