Freaksters In Full Denial Over New Gallup Poll-ROTFLMFAO

To: nhwingut
I think the ABR crowd might want to read the poll. A poll of adults is not a serious poll. This isn’t even a registered voter poll.

This poll has more to do with DOJ suing Gallup then any thing else



Is this a result of axelrod ‘strong arming’ Gallup?
I guess I should already know this, but I don't. What's the story behind the Obama DOJ threatening to sue Gallup? What are they using as justification/what are they claiming as the basis for this threat?


To: nhwingut
Didn’t Dick(head) Morris say that the polls would show Mitt with a permanent 5-6 point lead after the GOP convention?

Good grief, can't they admit that Obama has done anything right at all? Can't they listen to one speech that's not edited by the Breitbarts and FoxNoisers and just think for a minute? Maybe even look at him and pretend it's a white man talking, just hear his ideas?

I think the rest of them convinced themselves that he had nothing to do with it, even that it went on without him knowing anything about it and then he took credit for it. Delusional doesn't begin to describe them.

12. There Are So Many Assumptions That Go Into Building A Poll

And a person can even be unaware of the assumptions he makes when building a poll. I don't think Gallup has their finger on the scale but I do think Rasmussen does.

Also, Gallup has a tight likely voter screen which we haven't seen this election cycle.

That dickhead is as scuzzy looking as he sounds, and I mean really scuzzy. I expected to see toads and vermin exit his facehole. He reminds me of a bitter, ugly old woman.

Sure, there are crappo polls done by pollsters with agendas and fingers on the proverbial scales but by looking at all of them we get a good picture of what is going on....

Every election is always close (via polls) until the last month. Been that way for years even when we look back and see that the results, except 2000, were always one way or the other, easily predicted by just looking at the overall mood of people around you


No-not all elections are the same and I think it depends on the mood of the people around you, me, and every other voter.

An electorate that puts the likes of Clinton into office twice, a Kenyan Indonesian communist at least once , gave the lunatic Al Gore the popular vote in 2000, and may elect a Mormon Bishop degenerate sociopath liar and coward is an electorate that is DEMENTED.
The collapse of this Republic is inevitable.

Crazy! Are women and Americans mutually exclusive?

"Americans lead busy lives, and many, many women are dopey and worship celebrities. Michelle and her husband have star power to them. Most sheeple are not aware of the hard issues,"

Yes, I was just explaining this to a young man this morning. The left side is much easier to retain than the right side. This demorat convention was all about working on the emotion driven women on the right side of the equation over control of their ovaries. All the rats need to do is get a small number of these emotion driven women to move over the line = game over. {...}

Their social agenda is whacky as all hell. The Akin thing is the just the tip of the iceberg when to comes to social conservatives. It's so whacky Im surprised the libertarians don't just bolt out of that party. Its got to be embarrassing to be associated with that stuff.
