the Gallup treachery
   
Seeing that Obama's poll numbers are indicating a landslide victory, it seems that the propaganda machine at Gallup has decided to play some dirty tricks.

how do they determine 'likely voters' this early in the campaign. Easy, here's the script:

- are you a registered Democrat or Republican?

- Democrat? click - not likely to vote or vote will be suppressed anyway

- Republican?

Great- you wonderful patriot

Will you be voting for the great John Mccain, who single handedly beat the Germans in World War 1 and 2? Are you thinking of voting for him? Do you know who he is?

If answer is 'yes' to any of these questions, this person is goin to vote for Mccain.

Gallup - another organization that is tainted and corrupt.

Oh my again.

I don't know where the primiitives get this idea Barry "Goldwater" Obama's so popular.

I don't know anybody who's planning to vote for him.

1. I agree - that organization is not to be trusted.

2. I agree.
   
It seems they're trying their best to ensure the figures are close, so that when the election is stolen (again), the RW will be able to say, "Stolen? What are you talking about! He's been ahead the WHOLE TIME!"

Calm down, donnybrook primitive.

It's not the Republicans who run these big city political machines that create hundreds of thousands of "votes" out of thin air.  Ever think of that, donnybrook primitive?

3. Zogby used to be quoted by Limbaugh a lot,
   
then "9/11" happened, Righties got on this "anti-Muslim" kick, and Zogby began "leaning center". (Zogby is of Arab descent.)

Oh, I know a few who intend to vote for him, but I don't respect their judgment in such things.  The rational ones are not exactly pro-McCain, but do intend to vote against BHO.

Gee, they didn't seem to have any problems with Gallup when it showed that Obama was up by around 9, but when the very same poll shows that McCain is up by 4, then 'they're just another tool of Chimpy McChucklenuts!!1'

Actually, it's a play on that one comment by the New Yorker magazine "critic" Genet (Janet) some years ago.

I'm not sure when the comment was originally made, but I suspect it was in 1972, when she said, "I don't know why Nixon won.  I don't know anybody who voted for him....."

Others have since attributed it to 1980 and then again to 1984, regarding Reagan, but as this "critic," living most of her life in Paris, had been writing for the New Yorker magazine since the mid-1920s, and would have been immensely old in 1980 or 1984, I suspect the real comment is from 1972, and referred to Nixon.

Would the DUmmies like to explain those oh-so-accurate exit polls?  The ones done by the Lib media/pollsters?

If a poll indicates that a socialist is winning it is good.  Otherwise it is all bullshit.

There was a reprise of that classic, with which I was familiar but failed to catch your meaning, in 2004 as I recall...I remember seeing some idiot NYC Democrat (Yes, redundant, but soooo descriptive) bemoaning the loss of the USS Kerry in very similar terms.

Well those polls are accurate.  BushCo stole the election remember?  All of those democratic votes just dissapeared.

I sense a bit of panic on the island.

Rasmussen has it a dead heat and he is as accurate as they get it seems.
It is why the primitives hate him.
