No polls required

March 8, 2009 · Filed Under National Politics

In the old days TV shows would sometimes use the audience to pick contestant winners. It was a subjective method of course but 99% of the time there was no question who the viewers liked better.

In today’s technologically advanced world we are told what we think and by how much more we think it than the other guy. I’ve never been polled nor has anyone I know. Still all the smart people on the tube rely on these techniques and come to their conclusions based on all kinds of polls.

Here is a fine example why we should maybe rethink this whole poll business. America’s finest brave men and women, those who are actually putting it all on the line tell us what they are thinking in no uncertain terms. Perhaps this is why George Bush was able to stand so courageously while those around him, friends and foe alike just melted.
