You got a nod from Hewitt tonight on the 58% female thing. A STrib poll skewed for a predetermined outcome?
I'm Shocked! Shocked, I tell you!

What I think is a joke is that they meke these bold predictions based on the input of 506 people. How many folks live in the 6th CD? 200,000 or so at least and they believe this is an accurate picture?

Same Mitch, same b*tch.

Mitch, you seem to get bent over a barrel about a decidedly biased poll, but have no issues rendering decidedly biased opinion and even more with ignoring bias on the right.

You claim the Strib does the acts biasedly, rail against that bias and yet have previously said openly promoting a biased view is the way all politics and media should be. Doesn't that make your complaint not against bias, but instead that the Strib and Faux news simply aren't advertising they speak with a forked and deceptive tongue, while you admit you do?

Klobuchar said it well, "How can you fix a problem you won't even admit exits?" In your case, if you won't admit to the bias on the right, how can you expect to correct bias on the left? If openly discussing a topic precludes any recognition of problems on both sides, no solution will ever be found.

Hey Chad, it's called statistical projection, it's hardly rocket science and it's done all the time with far smaller relative samples projecting population make-up for the entire country on polls sampling 1000 or 5000 people.

Mitch's complaint is not in the sample size, but that the make-up of the poll is skewed, which it most definetely is.

The Strib's MN poll is among the most skewed in the country. OTOH, Fox's polls are barely better.

58% were women... and somehow that translated into the polling being skewed toward Wetterling...

I would normally question the connection till I saw this - from Bachmann's campaign appearance the other night...

"...And from there, my husband said “Now you need to go and get post-doctorate degree in tax law. Tax law? I hate taxes. Why should I go and do something like that? But the Lord says: Be submissive, wives, you are to be submissive to your husbands."

You hear that ladies? Be submissive and do what your husband tells you. Hey, while you're at it, why don't you walk 15 feet behind him and wear a burka?

It also explains why so many "real men" like Mitch just love Bachmann.

"biasedly"? This from some twit who picked up on "Faux News"? So original I'm almost impressed.

Klobuchar said it well, "How can you fix a problem you won't even admit exits?"

If a tree falls in a forest, what is the sound of one hand clapping, and can Patty Wetterling actually speak in a campaign ad?
Meanwhile Doug the Angry Clerk compares Republicans to radical Muslims.

You guys are such a joke.

Kermit said,

"Meanwhile Doug the Angry Clerk compares Republicans to radical Muslims."

Saudis are radical Muslims? Uh oh. Better put them on the invasion short list too...

Doug,

Don't let the Frog bother you, he has to resort to insulting people's occupation for entertainment, probably having something to do with his own feelings of inadequacy.

Kermit,

Bachmann helped a Church get cited for violating non-profit regulations. If Wetterling can't speak, the counter side is that the Bachmann folks are afraid of letting Michitler out of the box.

What fun times, and mature too. Frankly, I never said Faux news was an original, have you had an original thought yet? Are you sure?

Ted, It ain't no thing... I have relayed numerous times what I do for a living yet he always goes back to the "clerk" trough to feed.

Ironically, he's never volunteered what he does for a living. He seems to have an extensive knowledge of the types of responsibilities one would have working in a place like Walmart or Home Depot.

Considering the vast number of hyprocrisies oozing out from Republicans these days, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if he were the lot boy at Walmart.

"He seems to have an extensive knowledge of the types of responsibilities one would have working in a place like Walmart or Home Depot."
"I wouldn't be a bit surprised if he were the lot boy at Walmart."

That's from Doug, champion of the working class.

"Same Mitch, same b*tch."

Cicero weeps.

"Mitch, you seem to get bent over a barrel about a decidedly biased poll, but have no issues rendering decidedly biased opinion and even more with ignoring bias on the right."

It's fairly simple, Ted (and it'll need to be): I am *honest* and *forthright* about my biases. The Strib claims to have none.

See the difference yet?

"You claim the Strib does the acts biasedly, rail against that bias and yet have previously said openly promoting a biased view is the way all politics and media should be."

Yep.

The difference that you've (inevitably) missed is that the Strib *is not* honest about its biases.

Doug,

"You hear that ladies? Be submissive and do what your husband tells you. Hey, while you're at it, why don't you walk 15 feet behind him and wear a burka?"

Right. Michele Bachmann follows a fundie interpretation of the Bible, and has turned out to be a meek little doormat for her husband.

You *sure* you wanna stick with that?

Honestly, Doug - do you even try?

Mitch said,

"Right. Michele Bachmann follows a fundie interpretation of the Bible, and has turned out to be a meek little doormat for her husband.

You *sure* you wanna stick with that?"

A meek little doormat for her husband??? Hardly.

In fact, I've met the Bachmanns and I would say that that her hubby fits the stereotype of a cuckold husband.

And with Michele prancing around the house with her stilettos and her Hoover... well... You can paint your own picture...

Remember though Mitch, it is Bachmann herself that offered the Pentateuchial image of the good obedient wife.

Do I believe it? Of course not and neither should anyone in the 6th.

"In fact, I've met the Bachmanns and I would say that that her hubby fits the stereotype of a cuckold husband."

Note to the Bachmanns and their attorneys - this is *DOUG'S* opinion. Address any defamation suits for this rather cowardly little bit of anonymous character assassination to Doug, not to me.

I've met the Bachmanns, and I'd say you are out of your mind.

Hmmm... I wasn't aware you could file a defamation suit for expressing an opinion.

I guess Michele would know since she is an attorney (even though she didn't want to be but God told her to... or was it her husband... I forget)

Why do you hate freedom of speech Mitch?

I don't hate freedom of speech.

I just hate *dumb* speech.

Damn. You must have a really difficult time listening the President speak then...

Yeah, but John Kerry is worse!

Except that Kerry wasn't dumb.

He is however a 6'4" capsule of Amb1en.

So you guys lost twice to the "dumb" guy?

Wow. Impressive.

No Mitch. We lost twice to the brilliant strategy behind the dumb guy.
