#2 Their polls sucked again?

Maybe the number of hangups has reached a critical mass that the pollsters aren't willing to acknowledge makes their work less accurate. The 'motivated' hang on to vent in the process. The rest have come to believe its just another lying media gig, why bother.

#3 I'll never get tired of the elitist stateists getting their world views punched in the face.

Those looks and snaps you hear in the background is what little of their sanity is left breaking under the strain.

No way am I gonna talk to some random idiot who calls me on the phone wanting to know my political inclinations. I don't want candidates who wait for the polls before determining their positions on the issues. I want candidates to tell me what they think and then wait for the poll on election day.

I love talking to these people, especially during / after my third beer. My approach is roughly 1/2 free market / small government logic, 1/2 half-baked Lyndon Larouche nutbaggery. Get the bong going and it's a fun fifteen minutes or so!

#6 Yes, Raj, I know others who have a knack for that soft of thing. Apart from being highly amusing it wastes the pollster's time so it's a win-win. Maybe if you tie them up long enough they won't get to me.

#10 I've been thinking that the photo would be great for a laxative commercial. So maybe they can make something out of it.
