If I were tniiknhg like dirty-trickster Republicans (say, Karl Rove or Frank Luntz) or like the GOP\'s PROPAGANDA SPECIALISTS (i.e., Hills Knowlton PR firm in D.C.), this type of posting is what I would do to sell the public a pile of elephant-dung propaganda to artificially DISCREDIT the fact that the polls in question LEGITIMATELY CHANGED to favor the hard-working DEMOCRATS in the upcoming election. The Republican NOISE Machine (Brock, 2004) and their propaganda powers are VAST and use projection, degradation, negative piles of manure (elephant or otherwise) to taint any results the GOP does not want to have any validity in voters\' minds, and any other ruthless means to GRAB power or to at least SUPPRESS DEMOCRAT VOTERS. The negativity ratings for REPUBLICANS in Congress and the Senate are CONSIDERABLY HIGHER i.e., the general VOTING PUBLIC does NOT approve of the GOP\'s party-of-no obstructionism! Republicans also LOST GROUND this past few weeks with American voters (the UNEMPLOYED American voters) when they allowed MULTI-MILLIONAIRE Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) net worth $ 49 MILLION to FILIBUSTER the extension of unemployment insurance (and he is from a POOR STATE where the unemployment rate is HIGHER than our national 9.5% average!)!!! Republicans have the NASTY HABIT of doing their dirty deeds, of blocking vital legislation (while rushing home to take credit for it, in the case of stimulus checks for their districts), of putting their own political power-hungry interests over the needs of the American people they are supposed to represent. Vote your CONSCIENCE, people. Democrats have gotten American families FINANCIAL REFORMS that were initially BLOCKED by the do-nothing Republicans; accessible and affordable HEALTH CARE at long long last; REFORMS for the 1300 GREED-DRIVEN for-profit insurance companies that were CRUEL to consumers before these reforms were passed; the JOBS bill which gives CAPITAL GAINS TAX CUTS TO SMALL BUSINESSES if those business owners HIRE unemployed workers and which also EXTENDS UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE to the millions of Americans out of work because of FAILED GOP ECONOMIC POLICIES AND NO OVERSIGHT which caused housing and credit markets\' COLLAPSE and the entire U.S. financial system MELTDOWN now just why would any sane and sensible American believe that the polls beginning to favor these FAMILY-FRIENDLY, CONSUMER-PROTECTING, ECONOMY-SAVING DEMOCRATS are somehow wrong ? VOTE DEMOCRATS TO SAVE THIS NATION!
