Righties counting their chickens...

[wihosa]

The radical right has been counting their chickens for months now but may be dissapointed come hatching (election) day for two reasons.

First, the polls have historically undercounted Dems. In 2000 for instance the polls gave Bush a five to six point lead over Gore all the way up to the election but low and behold Gore got more votes, before he was cheated out of the Presidency.

Second, polls are conducted by phone but only land lines are used. Those people who only have cell phones are never polled. Many younger voters don't have land lines and are therfore not polled. Younger voters made up a large percentage of President Obamas' winning coalition.

Yes--It is looking so bad for the Democrats that even their last declarations of hope sounds futile. "Dems have been under counted since 2000" "Only conservatives use landlines" Translation: "Flee for your life--A right wing Cat 5 Hurricane is coming!"

Not true:

Interviews are conducted with respondents on landline telephones (for respondents with a landline telephone) and cellular phones (for respondents who are cell phone-only). Each sample includes a minimum quota of 150 cell phone-only respondents and 850 landline respondents, with additional minimum quotas among landline respondents for gender within region. Landline respondents are chosen at random within each household on the basis of which member had the most recent birthday.

Samples are weighted by gender, age, race, education, region, and phone lines. Demographic weighting targets are based on the March 2009 Current Population Survey figures for the aged 18 and older non-institutionalized population living in continental U.S. telephone households. All reported margins of sampling error include the computed design effects for weighting and sample design.

The right is always counting their chickens before they hatch.
The increased tax revenue from tax cuts?
The benefits to americans by outsourcing?
The benefits to Americans of free trade?
The benefits of deregulation?

And some chickens they only talk about.
SS reform?
Smaller govt?
Debt/defecit reduction?
Not being the police force of the world?
Let businesses fail that can't make it?

Arnold and Sarah were both examples of counting their chickens before they hatch as well.

The American People are too stupid to realize how good a 10% unemployment and $1.3 Trillion annual deficit really are!

Now you are catching on.

What's interesting is that the right is too stupid to realize that the deficit and unemployment are the result of Republican policy.

When America is finally driven down to a Third World Economy and Americans feel lucky just to have a meal they will wonder why the Great Prosperity that existined between 1950 and 1980 never came back.

Then they will do what their Corporate Masters tell them to do, vote for RepubliCONs!
