The Republicans to Lose, AP Poll

Hey folks,

If you believe everything you read in the mass media, then you believe the new Associated Press poll. According to the AP poll, if the elections were held today, it is the Democrats taking control. But the article is interesting. You have to fully understand how the wording is here, but you can clearly see that this is a MMD article.

First the AP starts by saying,

Republicans are in jeopardy of losing their grip on Congress in November. With less than four months to the midterm elections, the latest Associated Press-Ipsos poll found that Americans by an almost 3-to-1 margin hold the GOP-controlled Congress in low regard and profess a desire to see Democrats wrest control after a dozen years of Republican rule.

Then continues saying,

The AP-Ipsos poll of 1,000 adults conducted Monday through Wednesday,,

A little further down, they say,

The AP-Ipsos survey asked 789 registered voters if the election for the House were held today, would they vote for the Democratic or Republican candidate in their district. Democrats were favored 51 percent to 40 percent.

So the figure the 3-1 against the 1000, which would indicate that if there were 1000, then 211 are not registered voters. Or they just exaggerated the numbers. But notice that they do not say of whom those partaking in the poll were. Polls can and will say what you want them too, depending on who, and the wording of the questions.

So I guess that’s it folks. The AP have spoken. The Republicans are out and the Democrats take over. It is all but a done deal. Do not worry about it. The LWL will come in and fix everything starting with the impeachment of the President.

To bad this is NOT reality. The truth is that they have a lot of work to do. They could start by getting cohesive, and creating a plan, instead of playing the games they play and eating their own. But what have I been saying for the past few years?

I’m not really all that ready to jump on the, done deal bandwagon. They have a LONG and hard road ahead of them.
