THE RAGE MONKEY PING LIST
Rage at the monkey to get added or deleted.
That rant was an easy 12 banana winner. Rage on you angry Monkey.
You guessed it, Laz, the first two paragraphs have nothing to do with the "story" and instead bash Mittens.
The commenters however are on to the Snooze's deceptions.
This "newspaper" routinely disappears whole stories when the comments don't go their way. Disgusting!
Sorry, Rage Monkey, but historical evidence (second term Clinton, first term Obama, not to mention Congresscritters like Maxine Waters, Sheila Jackson Lee, Charlie Rangel, Lincoln Chafee, Lindsey Graham, etc.) indicates that the electorate is, in fact, pretty stupid.
And then there is the part of the electorate that is just plain evil (ACORN, NAALCP, NARAL, Planned Parenthood, NOW, SEIU, NEA, ACLU, SPLC, AFL-CIO, etc.).
Plase add me to my cousin’s ping list ;)
Dear Rage Monkey:
I posted this on another thread with no response that I could see, I’m genuinely curious if this has been taken into consideration. Please excuse any wet towels....
I hate to throw a wet towel on any of this but something has always struck me when claims of oversampling are made to make a poll look good (for us):
Isn’t it reasonable to assume that when a particular group is oversampled, the pollster in question takes that into account, and gives the group undersampled more weight?
For example, if the Republicans are undersampled by say 5%, their final tally is given 5% more weight than the Democrats.
That’s how it’s done in certain areas of science I can attest. For example, if one particular protein shows more expression in a certain experiment on a Western blot, such expression levels are normalized against a more common protein like actin. If the actin levels demonstrate lower levels in the experimental conditions (an oversampling if you will of the experimental condition), then the experimental level is reported as a function of the actin, that is, it’s divided by the amount of actin (similarly for the control), so as to normalize all levels based on how much total protein was actually loaded onto the gel (the Western blot).
So again, isn’t it reasonable to assume these pollsters are doing a similar kind of normalization?
If they are talking to a democrat the question is:
Do you support Mr Obama or Mr Romney?
If they are talking to a republican the question is:
Whom do you not support to lose the 2012 election?
Not Mr Obama or Not Mr Romney?
Another Laz List? Add me! Add me!
I don’t know if Rage Monkey has a beautiful blue butt or not, but I don’t even care. I sho do like his style.
Rage Monkey should be in every newspaper in every major city in the US.
Does Rage Monkey have a facebook page?
That Raged more than anything that has ever Raged before.
Well, Rage Monkey, the people are stupid and do beleive in the manipulated numbers. Hell, they also watch “reality TV”! Same thing.
Rage Monkey is the awesome of awesomes!!!
bump!
sling some poop at the media, Rage Monkey!
