There’s a lot of polls talking about how the Republicans are going to get their asses handed to them this november.

As much of a disaster that would be for not only this country and the world, I hope people are listening to the polls, because they should be telling people to wake up, and get out, and vote.

On the other hand: I get those phone calls a lot. For some reason, I seem to be on the list of people that they poll.

And I’m gonna let you in on a little secret:

I lie. When they call and ask me questions, I act like a good little democrat and stick to all the democratic party talking points, etc. Tell the pollster how I’m going to pull that big D lever, and so forth.

I do this because of two things: When I used to get those calls, I would say “I’m conservative” and they’d hang up. THey weren’t interested in listening to my opinion, the moment I claimed conservatism. So now I just give them a bunch of shit. I’ve recently found out I’m not alone, lots of folks game the pollsters like this. So when I hear the poll results, see the Time Magazine with the Elephant’s ass on the cover, I can only laugh.

Remember: Much as you may be distressed by the relative inaction of supposed conservatives, not voting for them will fix nothing and further break our system. That Rahm Emanuel is involved should be enough for you; that Feinstein et al could be handed reins should reinforce that belief. That the Communist Party of the US, and Al-Quaeda want the democrats to win should be like a hammer driving the point home.

Vote, folks.
