    Default Why I don't trust Political Polls

    Heard this on Rush and I couldn't stop laughing while feeling extremely depressed.

    I'd run for president. But with my luck I'd win.

    I like the part near the end where he wants McChubbins to be his VP. Pretty funny stuff.

    IDIOCRACY IS HAPPENING! RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!

    My Feedback

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    I heard from a reliable source that Edward Martini from Woodland Park, CO is rapidly gaining ground in some circles. Rumor has it he suffered from a lack of name recognition but he's worked that issue lately and, as a result, more and more people are familiar with him.

    Its a funny story and all but it does illustrate one way in which people rig polls.

    Putting a fake or joke option in a poll DOES skew the poll. So where do you think the 9% that voted for "Deez Nuts" would have ended up? The two options are that more would have gone to hill and saved her bacon or more likely most of those 9% would have gone to The Donald making his lead even larger.

    I suspect Deez Nuts was put in there in hopes of saving Hill's bacon.

    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    "Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen.
    -Friedrich Nietzsche

    "Every time something really bad happens, people cry out for safety, and the government answers by taking rights away from good people."
    -Penn Jillette
