All I can say is Im arriving on election day, ( not week, not month, ) election DAY, and voting. And I will sit back and wait whatever month or so we now need to see how stupid, ignorant and corrupt this country actually is, or isn't.

I was just talking about the trash we see in polling this morning. Nauseating is right! Just think that the party in power is making moves based on polling in some fashion. The pundits are always referring to polling in their trash reporting. I immediately TUNE OUT! Thanks Emerald for this well written and supported article. We MUST BEAT THE CHEAT TOO!

RCP polling:

1) mix several fruit-flavored drinks into a punch bowl.

2) add 6-7 turds and one quart of urine.

3) mix well.

4) receive praise for 'averaging' the taste of the ingredients.

5) pretend that the turds and piss don't ruin the effect of the fruit-flavored drinks.

Today’s media polling is meant to redirect the will of the people rather than reflect it.

Richard Baris "The People's Pundit" is Great! He has been spot on from the start. What he said a couple months ago would happen leading up to the Mid Terms is playing out. He is the best! Definitely seek him out!

OK, Emerald, we have the homework assignment. Patriots need to show up IN PERSON to VOTE. Tell the pollsters to go fly a kite!

"Yes miss, my greatest concern is climate change, and I always vote straight party line D"

"Polling Exists To Make Astrology Look Good" ROFL! Great title.

I take it that Emerald is referring to the disreputable and corrupt practices of "newspaper astrology." For those of us who know what we're doing, we cashed big on the Ravens beating the Bucs last night on Thursday night football. Predicted correctly in August 2022 that the Steelers would win their first game of the year as underdogs (they beat the Bengals). Previously, predicted correctly in 1994 that Pataki would beat Cuomo (NY State gov.). Predicted correctly in 1994, immediately after Clinton got hammered in the elections, that he would win re-election in 1996. And since about June, when I first looked it up, that Oz (at that time, behind in the polls 10-15%) will beat Fetterman in the PA U.S. Senate race; and that 11/08/22 will be the worst day of Jill Biden's life (which spills over into 11/09/22). Laugh all you wish. We profit from ignorance.

Another indictment of mainstream polling is the candidates don't use it except for propaganda purposes. They hire their own with much more accurate numbers

Astrology seemingly injures the government of the gods as much as of men:

Astrology does “a great injury to the celestial sphere, in whose most brilliant senate, and most splendid senate-house, as it were, they suppose that wicked deeds are decreed to be done”.

- Augustine, The City of God, Book V, Chapter 1

(The gods evidently don't like their opinions being manipulated either.)
