Polls? What Polls? I Don't Need No Stinkin Polls!

As the election get closer by the hour, I'm seeing more and more polls popping up - and no two are alike.

Well, no one's called and asked me a thing. No one that I've asked has been asked to reveal who they're voting for, either.

And, truth be told, the majority of us would decline to answer any survey on who we're voting for, if we were asked.

Why? I can't speak for other folk, but for me -- who I vote for is not anyone's business. It may be just my vote, but it's what I've got to give, and I take it seriously.

I'm tired of all this spin and media hoopla surrounding the citizenry choosing the person to lead our country, not to mention the most powerful man in the free world (or so they tell me).

It's not like I'm picking Best Picture of the Year at the Academy Awards. Or I suppose I should say, the People's Choice Awards since I'm not a SAG member. Geez.

I wouldn't trust a pollster to use what I reported accurately. Period. And this includes exit polls, too.

They talk about greed running rampant in our society, well - I see dishonest and self-serving spin running rampant, too. And all these polls, polls, polls -- just a buncha hoohaa if you ask me.

You know what? Bottom line, I wouldn't give them the time of day if they called because as a voter, I feel so ... well ... DISRESPECTED.

Whew. I feel better.

I Want To Know Every Tidbit of Truth Here and I Want To Know It NOW

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/oct/12/obamas-kenya-ghosts/

The Washington Times has a story about Kenya - and Muslims killing Christians (women and children) - that is getting some coverage but far from enough for me to be satisfied.

It includes information about Barack Obama that I want to know about RIGHT NOW, and I want all the details, not some pat on the head.

I share the reaction of one of the commenters: this is horrifying.

And, I am sure I also share this attitude with others: I have a good mind and a great ability to think and judge for myself, and I am sick and tired of the Main Stream Media along with countless Hollywood celebrities assuming otherwise.

Just gimme the facts, and shut up.
