This is a prime example of the ignorance of so many people. The exit
polls on election day were actually amazingly accurate. What many
people like you should learn before you start spouting off is what
actually happened. Results from the exit polls was leaked before the
polls were complete, i.e. around 3 or 4 pm, before the polls were
closed.

No, it's not "spouting off." Those exit polls are what are routinely
released to various news outlets *during* the polling. If it were a matter
of waiting until the polls closed, there'd be little value to an exit poll
since the ballots would soon be counted, anyway.

I'm not saying at that all. You need reading lessons, I guess.

Perhaps. Would you kindly parse this for me and let me know what you really
meant, then?:

But the real issue here is that the people who voted for Bush, on the whole,
simply either refuse to believe the factual reports that contradict
everything Bush claimed and claims, or failed to pay attention to those
reports when they were made.

Polls are facts about statistics.

A poll isn't a fact about anything except the people who participated.
It is an educated guess about some particular subject. The results may
or may not be factual.

Which Bush voters? The 64% that still believe that Saddam Hussein was

What survey are you talking about? I find this number hard to believe.

I'm based in New Jersey. I've seen at least that many in the last 50 hours of flight
time. You could probably see at least five just running the Hudson VFR corridor once.
Probably get five more doing a low-level run down the coast during banner-towing
season. But even if you avoid known high-traffic areas like those, you'll see plenty
of aircraft.

It's an ACTION design. YOU get a clue.

No, this is a K-98 rifle, manufactured by the Mauser Fabrikwerk in 1943 and
sporterized in Suhl, Germany sometime after the war. Mauser rifles do, of course,
have Mauser actions.

Cecil,

Repeat after me. Never, never, never argue second amendment rights in a
newsgroup. If you need frustration try teaching your dog not to chase
rabbits. In fact, you have a better chance of succeeding there than you do
in converting NRA members.

Shame on you. (not about the admonishment - rather being a gun control
nazi)

One thing - one of so very many things - I learned in my five years of
flying is that partisan politics does not fit into the cockpit.
-- David Brooks

And neither does reading War and Peace between the outer marker and
decision height.................So for THIS reason you decided to post
this idiotic nonsense and bring politics into the cockpit right?
You know Brooks; I had a job once pushing a D18 Beech into Washington
National every night. While I was on vacation, they hired me a new co
pilot. After I got back, I walked into the flight office and everybody
was jabbering about something they thought was real cute. Before I had a
chance to meet the new guy, they pulled me into a side office and asked
me if I minded flying with this new guy because he was black. You know
what I told them? I said I didn't give a rat's ass if he was purple as
long as he could fly!
Flying is flying...period. You'd be well advised if you intend hanging
around this business for any length of time to get this kind of crap
right out of your head. There's no place for it here, and no place for
it in any airplane I'm flying, I'll tell you that. But you're right,
this kind of thinking has absolutely no place even near an airplane. If
you can't handle it on a simple newsgroup, I'd hate to think of you
flying with some co-pilot someday whose politics you didn't agree with!
Man, this is not a healthy attitude for a pilot.

The gay population has become the new 'coloreds' - get over your
bigotry. Live and let live.

You pushed a button, Cecil. I see this kind of statement repeated with
sickening frequency

Comparing gay folks to "colored" people is just utter bullsquat. If I
were black, I'd smack people who say this upside the face. If you weren't
such a generally nice feller, this honkey would wanna smack you.

Black folks suffered brutally for hundreds of years right here in America.
Many still suffer today from generations of whip-toting, slave-owning,
water-cannon-wielding white folks denying them basic, God given,
Constitutional rights to equal treatment by their representative
government.

Not one should is denying gay folks their constitutional rights to
practice their behavior in private . . . or even in public. They can
vote. They can get elected to office. They can hold powerful positions
in the media and corporate America.

Hell, they can even fly a high wing airplanes.

But they can't get married and they can't fly low wing planes. That's
just they way it is.

To say that "Denying sexually aberrant citizens 'marital' status is akin
to human rights abuses endured by black Americans" is an affront to my,
and your, intelligence.

Bull**** - why shouldn't they have a right to take advantage of "marriage?"
Also, the gays/queers/fags have suffered brutally. They are still routinely
victims of hate crimes. Now, here I am sounding like a liberal, but tht is
not the case. I would never vote for the socialist, I mean democratic
party, but for all love, why this unbending rule against "marriage" for
queers?

Perhaps that analogy is not quite right, but there is no excuse for the
gubment to take moral stands and deny certain status to some citizens that
are routinely granted to others?

*"Sexually aberrant" is defined as a behavior that is outside the norm.
Homosexuality might become a "normal" behavior in the distant future but
for now it is an aberration, pure and simple.

Uh huh. Which polls are these? Are they compiled by the same ones
compiling the exit polling data?

This is a prime example of the ignorance of so many people. The exit polls
on election day were actually amazingly accurate. What many people like
you should learn before you start spouting off is what actually happened.
Results from the exit polls was leaked before the polls were complete,
i.e. around 3 or 4 pm, before the polls were closed.

I heard a terrific explanation of this exit polling phenomenon at the
airport today, from an old gray-head sitting in the terminal building...

He said "OF COURSE the exit polls showed Kerry ahead early in the day -- all
the Republicans work for a living, and couldn't vote till after 6 PM!"
