Jesus, are people REALLY this stupid?

I wrote on Facebook earlier:

>>Is this REALLY a strategy? The polls show you are behind...so attack the polls.

Seriously?<<

And got this response:

>>I'm not sure which polls people think they are looking at. No one has asked me a thing. Not have they asked my family and most of my friends. We are all republicans.<<

To which I replied:

>>Nobody has asked me, either. I don't think they ask everybody. Usually it is just a sampling of people.<<

Oh.
My.
God.

It scares me because it makes me start to think all the 'don't be too confident, they are going to steal it' people might be right. If people are really stupid enough to say shit like 'they didn't ask me', they might be stupid enough to believe that Mitt really won.

simply because they want him to win. These people don't ask questions as long as things go THEIR way.

They discriminate about people too afraid of terrorist attacks, or of catching the gay, to answer their phones. Gallup should go back to polling by telegram like they did in the 1870s.

I have unfriended my farrier on FB and he STILL finds a way to make shitty comments on my posts. I am pondering whether I should block him or just delete everything he writes. I have been using him for three years and would have told you two months ago that I loved him like a brother. Now I just want to punch him in the face every time he comes to the farm.

I have asked him more than once to stop commenting. That he is pissing me off and sooner or later I am going to lose my temper and say something we will both regret. But GOD...he never quits. I wish he were a shittier farrier, I would just fire him.
