POLLS? WE DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' POLLS!

 Rassmussen, Gallup, Zogby, Quinnipiac... OK, show of hands, how may of you are hooked on polls? Bobby, why aren't both your hands up? For those of you who don't know him, my good friend Bobby lives down in Austin or as I like to think of it as Austingrad or San Fran East. He is a rabid Conservative in a sea of Liberalism. He can prolly tell you verbatim what Rush and Sean said on their shows and gives a running annotation to his long suffering wife while he watches Fox news.
 More of Bobby later, back to polls. How many of them them do u actually think they are accurate? Are they informative? Do we need so many of them? Who's paying for them? Which brings me to another question, Why is the main-slime-media putting out so many polls? What do they have to gain? And, being who they are and their reputation, how many of us can believe them?
  Remember when the Gold standard of polls used to be Gallup? Now, these days, there are more polls than Heavyweight Boxing titles. And if you take the time to research their polling data,it's so heavily skewed that it's actually worthless. Cases in point: Reagan was behind right up till he won.
Dukakis was ahead till he lost. Gore had it wrapped up till GW moved to DC[Dems still think he won]. Kerry had the election sewn up according to MSM exit polls. Ooops again.
 I have several theories on media polls, and some are rather convoluted. Here goes:

1. They poll heavily Democrat to skew the poll in order to depress the GOP base so they will give up and stay home. [These folks obviously don't know Bobby and others like him.] They also hope it will cause Republican donors to close their wallets.

2. With polls slanted that way, it is also hoped it will cause some major  Wall Street addresses to figger they have to cover their bases and toss money to Obama. This is a two-edged sword here folks. It might could give them reason to toss even more money to Mitt in order to help him catch up rather than suffer four more years of Obama and his assault on the Free Market.

3. Slanted polls will also give them the reason to file protests and holler recount in some very tight results in several states[Florida springs to mind here].

I do admit to watching and following polls, but only for their entertainment value. Like most Conservatives, the only poll that will count for anything is the one I take part in on Election Day.
