So basically all the polling up until this election is just
A complete waste of time and money. Honestly. If Kerry wins or Bush wins I think it's well shown in the last 2 elections that polls, exit polls and all over media hyped fucked up trash ass polls are a complete waste of time and money.

The only states they actually called correctly are ones that I could have told you without polling a single person.

But will people start giving 2 shits about them? Nope! We'll be glued to them next year as well.

Perhaps I should open a polling company? It's obvious you don't need to know a damn thing and you can still be successful.

2. The pollsters WERE accurate. It was BBV and no paper trail
which caused the massive discrepancies.

4. That's true, but the end result is the same..
he who owns the machines, and counts the votes has the edge..regardless of what the polls say..

If an invisible vote disappears, who will notice it? or retrieve it?
no one.. We have been HAD..

3. Exit polling is inherently unreliable when the results are rigged. (nt)
