ALL poll results are skewed, even the ones that favor Dems. As such, skewing wasn't in question.
We saw, first hand, how "skewed" the polls were during the presidential election -- a claim the Republicans made wildly. Those polls were right on accurate.
Any evidence that undermine their faith in their orthodoxy is rejected by modern conservatism.
This would drive a typical middle class family with children broke. There are not enough bootstraps to go around so everyone in the country can afford this. Even halving government spending would have a huge percentage of the population making zero money or being in debt to the government each year.

Not all of them. Some were skewed as much as +11 D, others were skewed as much as + 3.5 R. Polls were skewed in favor of either party, and both ends of the spectrum were inaccurate.

That's why federal spending must be cut. It's unsustainable. You just proved it.
Who cares? When we are at $22 trillion plus in debt when Obama is out, the nation is finished.
Do you think that people with common sense would actually embrace idiocy in an effort to win an election?
If people were dumb enough to vote for Obama, they deserve all the economic misery they voted for. Obama's constituency really thinks that there are unlimited "treats" which they can recieve forever. They will find out, much to their detriment, that this is not the case.

We already have a progressive tax scheme, in which the higher earners pay a SIGNIFICANTLY higher percentage of the federal income tax than their share of the income.
How hard is it to understand the United States does not have a tax problem, they have a spending problem. Look at it this way the who fiscal cliff that everybody seems so scared of, is setting most of the spending bank to the clinton levels.
Think about that for a minute, people are scared if spending drops to where it was 12 years ago they think the nation as a whole will suffer tremendously. The government spends too much.
