I couldn't agree more with the following quote: "The little-understood reality of this election year is that conservatives are being under-polled." Where do these "polls" come from? It really doesn't matter if it's Zogby, Gallup, or the media driven "news" polls. In almost 30 years of voting and living in the same region where I was born, never have I been "polled" politically.

It seems that most media rely on the wire services or stories made up of these "polls" to fill their news content these days. The "poll" becomes the story. The punditry, ensconced in the centers of this media machine, comment based on the premise of these "polls" being accurate to keep their jobs with the same media. I believe these "pollsters" and their media allies less and less as they appear to try to depress conservatives and suppress turnout from our base.

p>Conservatives shouldn't apologize for being conservative. It is the Democrats that have to explain themselves to the American people. Have they in the last 10-12 years adequately explained where they stand and what they believe? Let's quit explaining their positions for them and demand that they articulate them to us…something they can't do without turning voters off. br> -- P. Aaron Jones br> Huntington Woods, Michigan /p> p> I have taken several polls and was asked if I approved of the way Bush is handling the war and I answered NO each time. I have been asked if I think Bush is doing a good job and I say NO, because I am thinking about the way he wants to give amnesty to ILLEGALS. But after saying all that the Democrats are worse on both of these issues. So if you are just following polls you are going to be surprised in Nov. I just don't think Americans are stupid enough to vote in the party of appeasement, higher taxes, open borders, and liberal judges. br> -- Elaine Kyle br> Cut & Shoot, Texas /p> p>
