Funny, when you talk about taking guns out of the hands of would be killers, the conservatives come out of the wood works. On this site, I have never seen so many conservative comments grouped together for an issue. Is it so bad to begin the conversation or dialog to bring about a solution to the tragedy that lead to the death of innocent children, teachers and rescuers?
We need to start the dialog for bringing this senseless killings to an end. I am not willing to stop the solution process because it conflicts with a farmers nuisance license. Can we have a solution to the killings of so many innocent human beings, and still allow a hunter or farmer shoot his deer? Or, can we, as a nation, be silenced by the threat of Civil War because we simply want to stop killings like this from happening over and over again?
This is America; I think we have the courage to step up and find a solution to this issue. This should not be a "win a game" exercise. No one person should be expected to solve this issue. We must all come to the table with the sincere intent to SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. For the kids and adults that died, we can SOLVE
THIS PROBLEM.”

I created my own averages believing in my heart these outliers do not belong in the average if they are bias for one side. Taking from Huffpost Politics, I have come up with a very different outcome I use to stop sweating about the possibility of Romney becoming our next president.
Now, when I look at the national averages, I take out Rasmussen's polls and Gallup's outliers, instead of getting a created number, I get 47% to 47%. When I do the same for Florida, I get 48% for Obama and 47% for Romney. I don't feel bad about doing this. I don't think life will be that much different without them.
I say this concerning polls also because I was on the "Headline Poll" site and discovered a strong bias in how they presented their numbers. For example, they left a PPP poll that had Obama up in Ohio by 3 points out the day it was released. They put it out the next day, but it was not released as new. In effect, it went unnoticed. I confronted them with the following post:
What did they do? They removed the poll altogether. So when you see a polling average being manipulated by one or two conservative outliers, don't panic; just recalibrate the poll without the bias pollster. Another very important factor concerning national polls is: for the very dynamics I am trying to avoid, national polls have become not good sources of accurate information.
