Psyops: fixed polling

  So you keep hearing things like, "The Republicans are tearing each other apart, damaging each other so much they won't be able to face Obama, a formidable candidate."
  And "Obama's got so much more money," "He's impossible to beat." How about this headline?
   "Santorum's emphasis on his Christianity is not good for democracy," an article which then goes on to compare Christianity to Islam, even though we've never beheaded anyone over here and even though Christianity NEVER gets the same sensitivity as other religions.
  This is all part of the psyops campaign to convince those who oppose Obama's socialism (or worse) to lose heart or not vote or give up.
  Israpundit took a look at a recent AP poll, only to discover fishiness, which are a significant part of the psyops campaign.
The Associated Press is rigging polls again and is not disclosing the startling fact that its polling firm, GFK, has been granted federal government contracts since Obama has been in office. This is not a major surprise to our readers because we have come to expect very liberal bias from the so-called mainstream media, but this goes beyond business as usual and well into the area of inventing favorable news for Obama to help create the impression that his reelection is inevitable. 
This week the AP again reported that their polling firm had determined that Obama would beat any of the Republican candidates but we looked at the raw polling data and once again, the AP and GFK had cooked the numbers by sampling ten percent more Democrat/Democrat leaning than Republicans.
  You can also see the art of persuasion in a recent Yahoo article that sympathizes with the common man who doesn't have the luxury of flying a $180,000 an hour jet around the country with the title, "Why You're Paying More at the Pump."
  The article goes on to carefully detail, by omission, that Obama has nothing to do with it.
  The reasons?
  • Volatility in the Middle East (It's Israel's fault. No mention that we get most of our oil from Canada and Mexico).
  • Growing demand in Asia
  • Gasoline formulation requirements (That is, government seasonal demands on oil)
  • A growing economy ("rosy," they call it, based on government figures)
  • Summer (because it's February and we use more vacation gas in February)
  • Taxes (Oh, yeah, there's that, which adds about $1 per gallon)
  Nowhere is it mentioned that Obama turned down the Keystone Pipeline project, or that he refuses to add new locations for drilling and that, in fact, he's slowed down drilling and canceled some.
  And nowhere is it mentioned that the American dollar is simply worth less because of all the trillions of dollars we've printed just to pay our bills, turning our currency into worthless paper.
  Yeah, I think they're running scared.

  1. I'll give them point #3. No it doesn't explain the sudden run up in prices but it does contribute to higher prices all the time. We got rid of the ethanol subsidies now we need to junk the mandates. The mandates can cause spot shortages and cost consumers million over the course of a year.
