Default I had a political poll phone call tonight.

I had a political poll phone call tonight, the lady started out by asking if I would participate in a political poll, I said I sure would, she said it takes about 5 minutes, I said that is fine.
So she continued with the first question and asked if I was a registered voter that lived in this household, I said I sure am, Then she asked, do you vote for democrats some of the time, often or always or do you vote for republicans some of time, often or always, I answered I vote republican always, LOL she kind of choked a little and then said I'm sorry we have our quota filled for republicans , good by. What the hay, I mean a poll is a poll ain't it, should it make any difference if I was a demmie or republican, this is the way they get the numbers to go there way, LOL I can't believe it.

Listen here LATL, if you continue to point out the obvious shortcomings of my liberal party, I shall be forced to ban you![>:]

So strut, are you saying that these commies are trying to skew the actual facts?

Not if they wanted an even number from each party. Maybe they wanted to poll 1,000 from each party. Or you scared the poor girl.

What the heck kind of poll would that be?

BTW, I absentee ballot vote due to being out of state every election for hunting. I play heck getting it done. They openly make it tough for registered repubs where I live.

LOL, yeah maybe so if they wanted the numbers to be about even, thats my point charlie.

Why not just have a poll from the libbies and see how many are going to vote for Bush?

Now that you've been introduced, you have to play with them.


I'll never forget when I lived in my last apartment in Milwaukee. I had some people from the Jehovah's witnesses ring my door bell and give me a god awful hard time.

Well, being the nob I can be, I told them i was a devout satan worshiper and offered to allow them to enter and see my sacrificial altar -- pansies said no. ..

never saw them from that particular "church" again.

We have a politcal poll in wisconsin called the 'badger poll' that is usually cited in the newspapers. I got called for that one early last year. They asked about 75 questions. When the results were published in the paper, I was on the very far right minority in every issue

Consider yourself fortunate. They ride around my neighborhood on bicycles handing out leaflets door-to-door. They got my wife one time, and she told them was an agnostic. She literally had to slam the door on them to stop their self-righteous babble.

Seeing that only reinforces what many of us already know. When they present this "POLL" on the evening news and in the paper, they will skew the answers to meet their agenda.

A few years ago, my wife received a call about a poll on abortion (should take 5 mins or so they said). The first question asked whether she favored abortion. When she pointed out that we're against it, the pollster had no further questions. How much do you wanna bet that this poll claimed to be "from those we polled, we gathered the following about abortion." The answers about abortion then only come from those supporting it.
