    But gawd, you're functionally retarded.

    The very link you posted showed that the last Rasmussen poll had the race 49-48 for McCaskill. The next time it's 49-48 for Talent.

    The poll's margin of error is three points. Talent could have gained. McCaskill could have gained. Nothing could have changed at all. We don't know. The race is too close to predict given the limitations of random sampling.

    What about that don't you understand?

    The policy is war. It's had its problems, and I have said that Bush claiming victory early was a mistake, and so was a cutback in troops and poor border management. But what alternative have the Dems had other than to undercut the President, undercut the troops, put down the troops (re: Kerry) and cower to radical Islam? I'm not so much for Bush as I am against hyprocritical bastards whose philosophy has always been to make people think they're for the "common man" when its only to hold captive their votes and keep their minds soft and easily manipulated.
     
  4. And if anyone knows about soft and manipulated minds....
    Anyway, the needle's not moving much in NY.

    The policy is war!

    Who gives one shit? I can't believe people still go batshit crazy over what the "latest poll" says. How many times do polls need to be wrong before people start ignoring them?

    We'll be voting in less than 24 hours. Then we can all debate what happened.

    I say again:

    I just don't get the people who are STILL standing up for this administration. What would they legitimately need to do to lose you people? Sleep with your wives? Kick your dogs?

    'Cause they've pretty much done everything else to piss you off. Nothing they've touched hasn't turned to absolute shit. The war, the economy, foreign relations, domestic relations -- all of it gone to absolute hell over the last six years. Just look at what you all spend your days here arguing. You're never trying to convince any of us that something these asshats has done is good for the country, only that it's not as bad as we're making it out to be or that a Democrat probably would've been just as bad.

    And you come back day after day, scandal after embarrassing scandal, felony after felony and consistently defend these jackoffs as if they were your parents or some shit. I just don't get it.

    Yeah, my preferences led me to give these corrupt bastards less leeway than you all did, but still, dammit, look around you. Look at what you've been forced to defend -- pedophilia, illegal wiretaps, the outing of a CIA agent, an illegal, mismanaged war, oil company profits, a budget deficit so large people have stopped counting, the pandering to religious nuts, the consistent embarrassment that is your president speaking in public, the dirty lobbyists, the crooked corporate hacks, the killing of thousands of Americans, the incompetent people in important positions, the complete failure to manage a national catastrophe, the invasion of privacy on so many levels.

    And yet, here you are, still defending these failures, still trying to convince us all that we shouldn't believe our own eyes. And worst of all, you're still hoping and praying that come Tuesday, nothing will change and we'll get to continue on for at least two more years with this shit.

    Well, blow me. Every single one of you. Yeah, I hope the Democrats take control of Congress on Tuesday. Not so I can come in here and jump up and down and act as though I've somehow scored some big victory. But because maybe, just sonofabitchin' maybe, some of this bullshit can be fixed, or at the very least, not made worse.

    Talent is ahead in the 11/06 poll today.

    Like talking to a chimp.

    Unless he's ahead by four points, it doesn't matter, ESPECIALLY in the face of conflicting polling data.

    People like you are the reason polls get a bad name.

    Take Stats 101 before you read another poll, ever.

    the polls are mostly skewed for the Dems because they oversample them. check the first wave of Kerry exit polling in 2004
