Nobody, and I mean nobody, cares. Everyone is sick and tired of
meaningless polls which prove nothing because the samples are so
skewed as to make them useless.

The average American could care less.

I am not sure about that. I am sure they are fed up with the crap that
both major political parties have foisted on the public in the guise of
candidates and the actions of the legislators. Both the Dem's and Repubs,
may both go the way of the Whigs if a 3rd party comes up with good
candidates and platform.


Don't hold your breath. Nothing will change in this country until everything
is done via referendum. Don't hold your breath waiting for that, either.

If Perot hadn't been so damn wishy-washy in '92. I agree with what you
say about the Ds and Rs, but they have been in control so long, the cards
are heavily stacked against a third party.

The independent party is about to pick up another Senate seat in
Connecticut.

If Perot wasn't around, Bush 41 would have been elected to a second term.

Pee-Rot very much showed that there is a possibility of a 3rd party taking
over.

I just haven't had my staff announce it yet.

By the way, I have a tip for you. Cigars keep mosquitoes away.

I already knew that.

Now sit down and shut up.

The Galactic Universal Overlord (me) has spoken.

Yes, mistress Tom.

Mistress huh?

Beware black UFO's.

Keep wearing the white face paint and torn fishnet stockings. These things
work.

How d'ya know this? You take a poll?

Just look around, examine the data.

Where did your data come from? Polls? Then your data is "meaningless"
too.

No and I'm not going to argue with you about it.

Ms. Vagina (who thinks he's a Mr) has no intuitive sense of this country.

Hmmmm - kinky.

Believe this or not, and well before we started adopting kids, my wife
and I used to attend midnight showings of Rocky Horror Picture Show -
I went as Riff Raff and she went as Magenta.

Of course, part of the Riff Raff costume was fishnet stockings.

The things you learn on this newsgroup huh? :)

Let's do the time warp again...... :-)

Remind me to tell you sometime about how long it takes for hash brownies to
take effect sometimes, and how easy it is to convince cops in the Hamptons
that THEY are the ones who are stoned.

You do realize why these polls are senseless, right?

I'll give you an analogy. Let's say you want to find out about Americans'
thoughts on adults having sex with 10 year old children. You write some
valid survey questions, but the population you select consists of 50%
convicted child molesters. Do you suppose the results might be questionable?



Polls are quoted by the winners and dismissed by the losers. Somebody
believes in them enough to keep paying for them.

My wife and the gang we hung out with at the time also used to go to those
shows...........late night Friday or Saturday nights. Never got into
dressing the parts though.
