Lie to pollsters

The Headline on Drudge

Washington Post/ABC News Poll: Large Shift to Obama

Let me make sure I got this right. The same news media that still wiping egg off it's face from last week is proclaiming this? Even the lowly blogger knows not to comment on these things before the actual election and we don't have "fact checkers" and all, like those true "journalists".

If people want to know how stop politics as usual you know what they would do. Lie to pollsters.

Seriously, what is gained by telling a pollster the truth. You know each and every one of these campaign camps use these polls to manipulate their message and hence the electorate.

What if they didn't know what we thought?

They would have to actually run on a message; maybe even their own message.

And the media? Let's just say polls should not be news. What people think is not a "news event" what is news is what happens at the actual voting booth, not polls taken weeks and months before that happens.

So go out and do your civic duty and lie to a pollster today.
