Right, a poll reported in the New York Times. Give me a break. Watch FoxNews if you want to see what is really happening in America. Romney will avenge the LBJ landslide in 1964 and show America what a real conservative president will be able to do. We shall see.

Paix, mon ami.

ah yes, the oversampling of the democrats crap from Fox news.

One really needs to step a little further back from the noise to get it.

If it's on Fox News it is TRUE. I respect their views more than I respect Macfury's views, and they are both usually always correct. Get with the program, gt. Do you want to back a loser??? You shall never make it up to the 1% category with that sort of thinking.

Do a little research Dr. G. If you follow the polls to their origin, you can download the entire results of each poll. At the end of the document you can usually find the party affiliations of the respondents. I was wondering of the oversampling accusations were correct, and found them to be accurate. A few polls did not state the nature of their sample and one or two gave only slight edges to Democrats.

True .............. but I would rather get the right POV from Fox News and you. Sadly, one does not hear much of Ron Paul these days. While I did not support many of his policies, I did like him as an honest politician.

A little Ron Paul for those missing his pragmatism...

I'm here in mid-USA (aka flyover country) and am resigned to having no real choice at the polls. I like to think there are many of us who understand what Dr. Paul is saying...

Yes G, speaking to each poll respondent, and ensuring an accurate listing is important. I mean you wouldn't want to you know, just take someone else's records as totally accurate.

Well, why would Romney lie to us???? He wants to be president.

Hi Margarok,

Welcome to EhMac. Believe me, from my experience of living in the Excited States, I can understand your frustration at being surrounded by people who are determined to ruin their country by ceding control to corporate puppets. I also have friends in several of the flyover states who despair for any semblance of rational thought to return to the political circus.

But I think what we Canadians find so horrifying about what is happening in the US is that, historically, Canada follows almost inevitably where the US leads. And we can certainly see that now with the rise of anti-intellectual irrational ultra-rightwing politicians here.

So we wish you well in stemming the tide of irrational fear and theocracy.
