:kick:

except the ones that "showed" that people voted based on 'moral values.' THOSE were spot-on, according to all the rePiglican spinners and media whores; but the polling by the SAME ORGANIZATION that showed Kerry was ahead, THOSE figures were inaccurate.
And the 'Murkin sheeple went, D'uhhh, OK....

HATES GAY MARRIAGE!!

:eyes:

2 days after the election, while we were all still traumatized (again), & scratching our heads, this occurred to me: WHY ARE WE ALL WALKING AROUND ASSUMING / BELIEVING IN / GIVING AUTOMATIC CREDIBILITY TO THE EXIT POLL "MORAL VALUES" response, while DISCREDITING those very same polls that said Kerry won?

I myself recognized this within 48 hrs. of the election. I did not know at that time that exit polls are universally considered the most credible election outcome, and are in fact utilized world-wide by groups like Jimmy Carter's election oversight NGO, to verify (or challenge) "official" results.

Why this has not - DID NOT - immediately rise to the top - can only in my mind (and probably many of yours!) be attributed to one thing: the state of paranoia, panic & fear that BushCo has worked so successfully to keep the American public and media in since 911.

Mark my word: 10, 25, 50 years from now, when all the vested interests are dust in the wind, the truth will surface...and we know what it will be, don't we? The Repubs are bound and determined to win the White House by purchasing the Supreme Court, vote theft, or any way they can. Now we just have to expose them!
