2. All polling is bunk
Whether it's good for us or not.

They are not polling anywhere near a representative sample of the real electorate.

This election will be so different in terms of the amount of people and the type of people turning out that the polling is just useless.

3. Do not fret grasshopper
According to polls of an extremely small percentage of the population conducted by organizations with an agenda "we are losing ground." They will only have reason to crow if you do not vote. Take care of what you can take care of and stop exercising your erroneous zone.

23. OK, but if I did, you might freak out.
Who would give you the straight dope?
See, you're smiling already, and a second
ago you were all worried. Uh oh, I think that's
a new poll coming down the street, singin'
Do Wah Diddy, Diddy Dum, Diddy Do.

8. Oregon is not a tie
There are two other recent polls that have Kerry 5-8 pts. ahead. With the Green voters and Gore voters and increased Dem registration, it's just not possible for Oregon to go Bush.

22. Last time...
Just prior to the election in 2000, they had * up by 13%. The polling methodology is really screwed up.

10. WEAPON OF MASS DEMORALIZATION ALERT!
Edited on Thu Oct-21-04 08:36 PM by rocknation
Please ignore this poll/story/article, as it is a product of the Bush empire's Faith-Based Reality Manufacturing Program. Details here.

12. AWWWWW.....freak out!

Aaahh Freak out!
Le Freak, C'est Chic
Freak out!
Aaahh Freak out!
Le Freak, C'est Chic
Freak out!
Aaahh Freak out!
Le Freak, C'est Chic
Freak out!
Aaahh Freak out!
Le Freak, C'est Chic
Freak out!

Have you heard about the new dance craze?
Listen to us, I'm sure you'll be amazed
Big fun to be had by everyone
It's up to you, It surely can be done
Young and old are doing it, I'm told
Just one try, and you too will be sold
It's called Le Freak! They're doing it night and day
Allow us, we'll show you the way

(CHORUS)

All that pressure got you down
Has your head spinning all around
Feel the rhythm, check the ride
Come on along and have a real good time
Like the days of stopping at the Savoy
Now we freak, oh what a joy
Just come on down, two fifty four
Find a spot out on the floor

(CHORUS)

Now Freak!
I said Freak!
Now Freak!

All that pressure got you down
Has your head spinning all around
Feel the rhythm, check the ride
Come on along and have a real good time
Like the days of stopping at the Savoy
Now we freak, oh what a joy
Just come on down, two fifty four
Find a spot out on the floor

15. Been following electoral-vote.com
for about six months now, and feel I can say with some authority that Mason-Dixon is bullshit. No, I take that back. Gallup is Bullshit. Mason-Dixon and Strategic Vision are Repug whores masquerading as pollsters. Saw a similar dispairing post earlier that cited MD as being 17 points off on their 2000 popular vote prediction. Don't sweat these punks- they are just the last of the pollster toadies shouting "The Emperor has clothes!" before the great unveiling. Zogby, Pew, Harris- if any of those guys give you bad news you might have cause to worry.

28. Hey Franken
No one has said it yet so I will.

WELCOME TO DU FRIEND!

People are wound kind of tight around here right now and who can blame them.

Anyone who even comes close to appearing like a freeper is going to get torn to shreds.

Advice: IGNORE THE POLLS.

Advice: Any number for Chimpy that's below 50% is good for us.
That's all you need to remember.

Welcome and have FUN!
