#1 Citizens should refuse to talk to pollsters.

Election polling should be restricted through, at cost, the local county clerk's office. Anyone participating will be making full and open disclosure of their vote. Your choice - secret or public ballot. See how many participate then. That they called you or knocked on your door implies your identity is known, so this is not about privacy when you participate.

#3 I agree, lying is the most effect tactic against them.

#4 I've always thought that the polls reflect whatever the person paying for them wants them to reflect. How else can you explain that they always favor the person whom the MSM pundits are telling us that we favor? That is they always do until about 48 hours before the actual election where they suddenly swing dramatically toward reality.

#5 Remember the late, great Mike Royko, of various Chicago newspapers over 35 years, who advised his readers to always lie to exit pollsters, for the pleasure of watching all the returns projections "go crazy."

#6 I lie my ass off. Any Politician who relies on "polling" to decide an issue is almost as useless as a lawyer but most of them are anyway.

I lie, lie, lie.

My vote is my voice. If a politician needs my input they get it via FAX.
