9. Pew was no better

Nov 2012

I read the Pew poll when it came out with Mittens trouncing Obama and either tying with women or women surpassed themselves and was voting for Mittens, et al., What a total bullshit polling. Gallup was a joke and got crap poured all over them. Corporate media polling at its finest. But the kicker, Mittens and the gop establishment truly believed in their alternate reality really thought they were going to win. They ignored the minorities and was truly hoping the voter suppression, purging and trying to stop early voting would allow their idiot candidate to waltz in. I believe the goppers also had their secretary of states on notice of basically stealing the swing states if it were very close and thats why Pres O's campaign needed to win fairly high %.

It was a damn shame that these GOPpers always talk about patriotism, freedom and being American and they did the total opposite.
