    Re: Huntsville Times – Experts say poll on bingo raids flawed

    IMHO, this poll, like many others, was intentionally worded and designed in such a way as to show support for the positions held by those who paid to have the polls conducted. Randy Brinson is certainly not beyond paying for polls that support HIS positions on issues, which may not necessarily reflect the opinions of those polled or even those of Alabama Christians, in an effort to influence the citizenry.
    That’s why I give very little credence to many polls.

    Once again, Randy Brinson’s credibility is shot. He’s nothing but a paid shill for the gambling interests in this state. First it was the discovery he’d been taking money from the gambling PACs. Now his push poll on gambling is exposed as a bogus push poll. How could anyone be surprised since the gamblers paid for it?

  • This doesn’t probably relate to subject. Are seniors getting a bonus? Please make it a little easier for us.state of Mo. We have a large family who are dyed in the wool Democratic voters. Take care of the people as small countries do -Denmark being one of them.
