I'm sure that you have read Miss Marple's reply to me and more on Hunt's role in the WSJ. My WSJ subscription lapsed due to this clymers's vicious and vile attacks posing as opeds. I sent the publishers and editors the reason why I cancelled. Since then, I have offered free months on free months and great deals. I ignore them or send them back saying as long as Hunt's venom is printed, I will never subscribe to them again.

This hit article coupled with Ms Marple's insight and particuliar her question re the vile Clymer Hunt being in charge of polling confirms that I made the right decision in letting my subscription lapse. My resentment of the WSJ having this left wing whacko in a place of power grows.

If you have time, the IBD, IMHO, opinion offers a lot more insight for the average investor. It however needs to have a full websight to make getting that knowledge easier. When they go to a full web site, I will pay for it and go back.

As you may recall, the WSJ poll is usually coupled with NBC. I always thought that was a strange connection, but now I think I am beginning to see how it works, since I believe Mr. Potato Head Russert is in charge of political stuff for NBC. I can just see those two clymers getting together and cooking the numbers by the way the questions are asked.

How do you DIRECT a poll, anyway? Don't you simply commission one?

If you control the poll, it is really easy to direct a new phoney poll.

You have your insiders who know how to use Polls as a Rat tool/weapon to drive their agendas or to weaken their enemies pick a topic. Then, they design the questions that make it appear that the population prefers the Rat agenda and dislikes the conservative side.

Then, you have your posters call on likely or maybe registered voters. (If you really wanted reality, they would call on registered voters who intend to vote in an upcoming election.) Then, you have your posters call home numbers from about 11 am to 3 pm on a working day. That way only non working rats will be called. When you have enough of a small sample to support your new agenda, you stop the polling.

Then, you air these cooked results on NBC with Mr Potatoe Head, Russert, the Rat in disguise as a moderate. (Or any of the other rat tv choices: CNNCBSABCCSPAN).

Then you have the NY Slimes, the Wash. Compost, LA Slimes carry the cooked poll stew in articles and editorials the week before the Shreiking Head programs. Then, the Rat screamers and Shreikers do their act on the Screeching Heads Gangbanging a token conservative on the Sunday Am shows.

Then, the Rats have a new issue or agenda created out of nothing to use as a political tool.

Often the polls have no reality with real issues of concern like CFR or these Enron bait and Switch polls. The public just doesn't care. So only the intellectual Beltway fools on both sides of the political spectrum get involved.

I ofter wonder if conservative talk show hosts and oped writers aren't part of the game plan to create a so called critical issue when there is no issue or concern by their audiences. They get out and tell their conservatives, that if this new critical issue is not handled by the administration, the country will cease to be. Reality is that that they like their liberal buddies have a non issue of little if any relevance to the rest of us! Your buddy, Kristol is a top game player in this.

Excellent discussion of the Rat/poll methods. By the way, did you know that Kristol was on Fox yesterday gripiing that Bush was IGNORING the war in Iraq for the domestic agenda? Unbelievable.

I am thinking to my self, why do the dems and Kristol want a war in Iraq so quickly? Isn't it funny that the big drumbeat is coming from those folks who did NOT want to go into Iraq 10 years ago?

I am a highly suspicious person. Either they think that we cannot succeed, or they are aware that we have somewhere else to go first and they are trying to cause doubt in Bush's abilities.

Kristol is the prime example of this. He pushed a masive land invasion in Afghanistan, which was not needed, and would have delayed the war, allowing many more terrorists to escape. Now that Bush has succceeded, he is on to pushing Iraq.

Something is going on here, but I can't quite figure it out.

Re Iraq, the rats and Kristol.

Kristol's most favorite person in the World, the McAinal and his buddy Jino Joey Lieberman have been pushing the invade Iraq balloon since about 9/12 last year.

They have some game plan with Iraq, and it is not to benefit America and most Americans. I'm sure that our stealth president is on to what they want to do, and he will make sure that it doesn't happen.

Are they being funded by the Opecker Princes to focus our military's energy and discontent on Saddam to take the heat of off them?

One of the best kept secrets in the world is that whenever sanctions have been put on Saddam's oil market, the Opecker Princes reap huge Petro $ benefits from any sanction on Saddam.

If we attack Iraq, the Opecker Princes will be able to raise the prices on their oil and repeat an incredible financial benefit during and after any conflict with Saddam. They need those petro $'s to finance world terrorism through their al Qaeda terrorists, funded, raised and trained for the large part in Saudi Arabia!

At this time I would suspect Saudi Opecker Petro $'s to be the main influences re the pushers to attack Iraq. Or the promise of Opecker $'s if Saddam is attacked and the Iraq oil is taken from the world market.
