Whaddya wanna bet that these pollsters carefully selected at random 1,376
doctors from a list of those getting kickbacks from a medical
insurance company and donating money to the 2008 McCain/Palin campaign?

I especially like the part about polling 1,376 doctors and discovering
that "hundreds of thousands" of them would shut down their practices if
the "medical overhaul plan under consideration in Washington" were to be
adopted.  I wonder which overhaul plan that might be?  Oh, I see,
details "will be covered later in this series", no doubt after they've
made up some more stunning information to entertain the lunatic fringe.

Dear John Letter,

Go read the complete text of the first three articles
over in that other (What if doctors...) thread you
started there, John Boy.

In the second article it says this:
============================
The questionnaires were sent out Aug. 28 to 25,600 doctors nationwide.
The sample was purchased from a list broker, Lake Group Media of Rye,
N.Y. One hundred of those responding were retired, and their answers
were not included in the final results.

Our poll also invited those taking part to tell us the reasons why
they didn't like the health care reforms — or, in the minority of
cases, why they did. The outpouring of written responses IBD received
— about 1,300 in all — was stunning.
===================================
The series is a continuing one. In the third article
that I posted, just to be very fair to John Boy, the
33% of Docs that are Pro-Reform get their say.

You see John, in unbiased reporting like the IBD
series of articles, there is no reason to hold back
like the Drive By Media does in their method of
'Lie By Ommission.'

The IBD articles go on to say that there will be
be another article on Friday.
