Hillary Clinton Claims Own Voice in
Wake of NH Win
By Carrie K. Hutchens
In Hillary's victory
speech last night, she thanked the people of New Hampshire for
helping her find her own voice. I wonder what it is that voice will
say in comparison to all the other voices we have heard in the past
months upon months of listening to her. Curiosity is not something I
have ever denied having. I even wonder if the Clinton new-found
voice will accidentally give voice to others more deserving.
It is no secret that
I don't like Hillary Clinton, nor do I believe in her way of life or
politics. However, Hillary does deserve credit for doing what has
needed to be done for years. She destroyed the illusion that "polls"
are pure gospel in reflecting true public opinion. After all, the
poll results leading up to the NH primary were anything but what
actually happened, and they didn't even have any trick questions to
trip up the poll-voters. What does that say about polls and polling?
Maybe the message in
Hillary's New Hampshire win is that polls are not the ultimate last
word. They are not necessarily accurate. Sometimes they don't
represent, even in the slightest, what the public thinks and feels.
So maybe...just maybe...they ought to be demoted back to the rank of
importance they were initially designed to hold--a "tool" to get an
idea of public opinion--and not considered the absolute final vote
of what the majority of people think about anything. And
definitely not a tool utilized to sway the votes of those who simply
want to go along with the crowd and therefore presumably with the
winner.
In Terri Schiavo's
case, the polls, in my opinion, were often stacked against even
getting a hint as to what the public actually thought, or might
think, simply by the way the questions were being asked and the
answer options available. The suggestion was often that Terri
Schiavo was actually "brain dead" and merely being kept alive by
machines. Little did many know that the "life support" being
referred to was merely a feeding tube. Little did many people know
that their uninformed opinion in a poll might one day be utilized to
kill off the young woman that was guilty of nothing more than being
disabled through no fault of her own.
Terri Schiavo never
had a chance to find her voice, such as what Hillary Clinton claims
to have discovered in New Hampshire after the votes proved the polls
to be a totally untrue representation--a mere delusion! After all,
apparently (by their reaction), until tonight those news people
reporting on the election thought the polls were the absolute in
defining what was and what was to come!
Too bad the
realization of defective polls didn't slap people up side the head a
couple of years ago when it might have saved the life of an innocent
woman. But it didn't. However, with Hillary's win in New Hampshire,
nobody can deny that poll results are defective and unreliable.
Maybe that will be the voice heard from here on out! The actual
votes will tell!
