| Pubs Deluded by "Skewed" Polls |

| Conservative activist circles are abuzz with a new conspiracy theory: Polls showing President Obama with a growing lead over Mitt Romney are deliberately being skewed by the Liberal Mainstream Media so Republicans will be disheartened and stay home on Election Day. This is denial and self-delusion but not of the harmless kind. It's a false narrative that encourages the Republican Party to take the wrong lessons from this election, no matter the outcome. And the lesson, Eugene? Voters blame the GOP more than they blame Obama and the Democrats for the gridlock and brinkmanship that have characterized much of the president's time in office. Yet you mock the notion of the MSM being in the Obama camp, Eugene? The Republican Party has taken stands on issues such as abortion and immigration that big segments of the electorate find extreme and unacceptable. Moderate Republicans, as a political species, are all but extinct. If a polling sample shows Democrats outnumbering Republicans by, say, 32 percent to 24 percent (with most of the rest calling themselves independents), GOP partisans shouldn't worry about a conspiracy. They should worry that this is a snapshot of how Americans feel about the two major parties. |

| #7 This is denial and self-delusion Tell you what Dude. Take a snap shot of the polls today. If they don't match what happens on election day, you quit the day job and go sell shoes for the rest of your life. Put up or show us that you're just a driveling moonbat. |

| #6 "They have no where to go Besoeker". Ditto that. The life boat will only hold so many. They think alike, do alike and do what their told. |

| #4 "They should worry that this is a snapshot of how Americans feel about the two major parties." -if true, then I'd agree w/him, but for far different reasons. |

| #1 I like when the WaPo and veteran partisan hackholes on the Donk side tell us what we think and why we're wrong |
