Focus Group Politics

I watched a focus group sponsored by the Annenberg Public Policy Center a couple of nights ago. The conductor was a guy that normally does polls for NBC-Wall Street Journal.

The questions he asked were the most leading and biased you could imagine, and played into the ignorance of the 12 subjects in the group. At one point he brought up race in the coming election. It was clear that the folks in the room became uneasy and tried to sound touchy-feely, to the point of talking about the safety of Obama. Finally, one respondent said that no one was even talking about race until the moderator brought it up. The moderator moved on, not acknowledging the observation.

The rest of the time that the subjects had the floor, there was zero content as regards to policy. It was all about charisma and how they "felt" about the candidate. Nothing was said by either the conductor or the subjects about the ramifications of the policies held up by the candidates.

Why don't these people have a clue? Because the education they get has long ago been given over to the liberals, who have treated students like mushrooms.....keeping them in the dark and feeding them crap. Feelings and image worship have become the ideal.

There is no longer standing up for what's right, because no one knows what's right. Polls and focus groups are all an orgy of ignorance leading ignorance.
