A Long Trip Down the Denial River of Doubt
Edited on Wed May-25-05 09:13 PM by TruthIsAll
Timeline of Denial

1. “Don’t trust the early exit polls”
2. “Women came out to vote early”
3. “It was raining all over”
4. “Bush voters come out late”
5. “The preliminary Exit Polls were rigged by the Democrats”

6. ‘The exit pollsters were young, inexperienced and biased”
7. “There was a late Bush surge”
8. "Exit polls were not designed to prove fraud"
9. "The vote count is better than any poll, since it has ZERO MoE"
10. “The media would have reported any indication of fraud”

11. “Wait for the final exit polls; they will show Bush won”
12. “The post-midnight CNN polls show that Bush won OH and FL easily”
13. “The exit poll data downloaded was not from CNN-it was a forgery”
14. “Exit Poll Margin of error is very high”

15. “The incorrect use of 95% Confidence Limits falsely shows that 16 states exceeded the MoE for Bush. A 99% C.L. is what the networks use to call an election and using it would give a wider MoE and show that only two or three states exceeded the MoE for Bush"

16. “The cluster effect inflates the MoE”
17. “Exit polls have always favored Democrats; this is nothing new”
18. "There was a heavy turnout of weekly church-goers for Bush"
19. "The Bin Laden tape in the final weekend won it for Bush"
20. "Stop complaining it was stolen, just work harder in 2006".

21. “The Mystery Pollster is a Democrat; he can be trusted”.
22. “MP is an expert – he’s going for his Masters in Poly Sci”
23. “If there was fraud, it occurred on both sides”
24. “The recount in NH, called for by third party candidates, proved there was no fraud”
25. “The recount in OH, called for by Kerry and third party candidates, proved there was no fraud”

26. “If there was fraud, it could not have changed the result: Bush won by 3 million votes”
27. “DU fraudsters are biased; they cherry-picked the final pre-election polls to make it appear that Kerry was leading”
28. “USCV PhD’s do not have polling experience, unlike MP”

29. “Febbles Fancy Function is AMAZING, even if USCV derived it first. One solitary, brilliant, independent, AMAZING Scottish woman has shown us that rBr is still a viable hypothesis”

30. “Febble is an AMAZING woman”
31. “Even if Febble worked for Mitofsky and did not reveal it, that is no reflection on her independence.
32. "Febble is an AMAZING truthseeker; even she agrees that her Fancy function does not disprove fraud as an explanation".
33. "Even though she is unbiased, there is nothing wrong with Febble claiming that the mounting evidence will show that Bush won".

34. “The NULL still stands”.

35. “Who do you believe, Baiman or Mitofsky"?
36. “Who do you believe, Freeman or Febble"?
37. “Who do you believe, Conyers or Blackwell"?
38. “Who do you believe, Conyers or Mitofsky"?
39. “Who do you believe, Lampley or Goldstein"?
40. "Who do you believe, Koehler or Wycliff"?
41. "Who do you believe, Vidal or Baker"?
42. "Who do you believe, Mittledorf or MP"?

43. “Who do you believe, DU or Freerepublic"?

3. But what about ......
The paper by Traugott (U of Mich.), Highton (UC DAVIS), & Brady (UC Berkley) that
said the early release of the exit poll data caused all the problems with
the exit polls being so far off? They called it "leakage" and in future elections
it should be stopped.

Honest to God those boys might as well go work for Fox.

Ohio election fun fact ..... on 11/2/04 voting machines in Lucus, County OH
"Locked up," in democratic precincts but in republican suburbs no problem.

Have you gotten your data to Conyers?

Thank you for your work.
