Et tu, Keyes?

An article from "Common Sense" host Paul Jacobs found here

left me disappointed with Alan Keyes, with whom I am generally in agreement. Keyes said opinion polls are "damaging to our political system, and they should not be allowed when it comes to the actual time frame in which people are making up their minds."

In other words, when people are forming their opinions, they should not have access to the opinions of others lest other's opinions influence their own. But isn't protecting people's freedom to share political opinions -- their opinions about government -- without repercussion just what the First Amendment was primarily about? And Keyes wants to limit this, presumably with government prohibitions and accompanying repercussions (use of force) against violators (violators being those who share political opinions).

What a disappointment. And that's my political opinion on the matter.
