Don't Believe the Media
Rush Limbaugh makes a good point. A number of the reliable national polls show the presidential race as pretty tight, even by a couple points. Yet the polls in many of the battleground states show Obama running away with it. This doesn't make a lot of sense. Limbaugh talks about who they are talking to in these polls. It's mostly Democrats. Fair enough--there are probably more registered Democrats. But what about talking to likely voters? And GOP voters turn out in greater numbers. The Democrats will be home smoking the cigarettes ACORN gave them for submitting false voter registrations. The media are doing everything they can to demoralize those opposed to Lord Obama, the Most Merciful, by making the McCain effort look like a lost cause. Then, if McCain manages to win despite all this fraud, we're all a bunch of racists and the cities go up in flames. Polls purporting to show that yes, Americans do want socialism are probably fraudulent, too. All of us can be susceptible to this. Don't fall for it.

Polls that indicate Americans want socialism are almost certainly constrcuted in such a way as to elicit the desired response.
But's here's something to consider:
Most Americans, thanks to 40 years of criminally inadequate citizenship education, don't have a clue as to the underlying reasons for America's exceptionalism. They haven't a clue as to what socialism means, haven't a clue as to its sorry history of failure, haven't a clue that Obama's project for America will fundamentally alter the social compact that has made America the shining city on a hill for generations of people from around the world, people who believe America's promise: work hard, play by the rules, pull your weight, shoulder your responsibilities, and life for you - and certainly for your children - will be good and fair and true.
