Ever notice that when a Dem leads in a poll

[JamesA1102]

and it is in the margin of error, they always point that out and call it a statistical dead heat. But when a Republican leads in the margin of error they never do that.

1. Yes, I noticed. In MA, where the Democratic candidate for gov.has been ahead for more than one year

and the 4 last polls out today still show him ahead by between 2 and 7, the meme is that the race is dead heat.

2. Ah, the intricate, well-designed subtleties of modern Corporate Media.

It's not your grandfather's Nazi Propaganda, is it?

Kinder and gentler, as befits the new ruling doctrine of Inverted Totalitarianism.

3. yep.

this is done so that cheating in the vote counts can be pulled off. the public must believe that the race is close to accept the results that are being fixed.
we need to have honest, paper ballots that are counted in the open if we ever want to get honest election results in this corporate controlled country.
the right wing christian groups, who own the voting machines and tally the results, believe they are working for a "higher power" and that the ends justify the means.

7. And with about 8 to 9 points ahead Fiorina is

just about even with Boxer. I don't know who in the hell they think they are kidding. With them saying that the republicans are close etc. it only makes the Democrats more determined to vote. Keep it up polling companies we know you are a bunch of lying S.O.B.

8. Hit Rec and the counter stayed at ''zero.''

Truth hurts, evidently.
