The ‘Unskewed Polls’ guy who fooled a nation tries again [Grifter Not Quite Done Grifting Yet]
roanoke.com ^ | 11/20/12 | Dan Casey

Posted on 11/20/2012 8:32:45 PM PST by KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle

When last we left Dean Chambers, the Duffield, Va., resident was licking his wounds in Virginia’s coal fields, trying to figure out how he’d fooled himself and much of a nation into believing the Mitt Romney would win the election.

Chambers, 45, the founder of UnskewedPolls.com, ultimately decided he had incorrectly forecast that too few Democrats would vote. He admitted this mistake. Now, it appears he’s reconsidering.

Recently he launched a new website, BarackOFraudo.com. It seeks to understand how four states that he had incorrectly predicted would go to Romney — Virginia, Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania — actually went to Obama.

He’s decided that was due to voter suppression and yes, voter fraud:

That millions of potential Republican voters, that vote for McCain in 2008 while far less enthused about doing so, did not turn out to vote for Romney in 2012 clearly proves the voter suppression campaign waged by the mainstream media and to some extent by the Democrat Party, worked quite well.

While the overall strategy was voter suppression, it is clear from viewing these stats that boosting the turnout in key swing states (the ones in yellow above) was taking place as well.

Without further or more detailed proof, there is objectively two ways to increase voter turnout on the side of those supporting Obama, as it clearly did happen in some key swing states: either get more real people out to vote who will vote for Obama, or stuff the ballot boxes and engage in a variety of vote fraud and vote scamming methods. Odds are quite likely, to maximize their odds of succeeding in getting President Obama elected, that they engaged in all of the above to make it happen.

I wrote a column about Chambers the Sunday after the election, when it appeared he was taking stock of the problem with believing the “news” he had created. Then, he was coming around to the idea that he’d been helping the emperor pick out his new clothes.

But Chambers seems to have switched horses, and is now arguing that he wasn’t wrong — that suppression and fraud handed the president a win.

The chief danger here is that he’ll fool himself — and others — again, which will not serve GOP interests in future elections.

On the other hand, he made some good money “unskewing” those polls and fooling Republicans before. Perhaps he’s simply up to his old tricks again, and writing stuff he knows people want to hear.

I obviously underestimated the willingness of thousands of liberals to CHEAT at the behest of their union thug president with everything at his disposal to ensure it could be done.

Now if we could just get the 0bamamedia to expose the rampant wave of voter fraud organized by Soros, Axelrod, 0bama and his unions, his black panthers, his ACORN and his U.N. insurgents, we'd learn 0bama stole this election. But they're too busy digging deep into who authorized Fast & Furious, the money laundering at Solyndra, and who denied security and a rescue in Benghazi that there simply isn't enough time for exposing his theft of an election.

By the way, stealing an election doesn't involve voters as much as it does the UNION/LEFTIST HACK poll workers (who can destroy ballots and tamper with electronic voting machines), and the vote COUNTERS so your last comment is totally unfounded.

Remember passage of the 0bamacare Bill? The bribery, theft of a House Bill that was gutted.. Midnight and weekend voting.. Extortion, LIES, DECEIT and the bastardization of the entire process? WELCOME TO LIBERAL CHEATVILLE.

RE :”I obviously underestimated the willingness of thousands of liberals to CHEAT at the behest of their union thug president with everything at his disposal to ensure it could be done.”

Yes, and just as you predicted that landslide for Romney because Democrats, blacks, Hispanics, etc, were going to stay home, and refuse to vote while Republicans were super enthused about Romney, it made perfect sense for Dems to rig all the polls (except that one above) ahead of time to show O winning, just to cover their tracks when they won. After all as you predicted, Romney won in a landslide but now he lost just as the rigged polls predicted he would.

Those Dems are absolutely diabolical and all powerful to be able to pull off turning a landslide into a defeat while rigging all the polls.

Maybe now the only option for you is to end it all now that you realize that there is no hope against a power so absolute as you describe,

*********************************

Since you 'get off' on re-posting my comments for pinging to others, how about if I make yours blink? You like that? Thought you would..

"Rigging ALL the polls?" NO. How about just enough in ONLY the Swing States where it mattered? Is that a bit more plausible for you now? Sure it is. "Rigging all the POLLS?" YES. ABSOLUTELY. And how about some vote count trickery? That'll work too.

"..the only option for you is to end it all.." I don't think like you do. That's YOUR thought not mine. Perhaps you STOP beating upon your teammates and take your hostilities to the opposition.. Oh wait.. You ARE the opposition or you wouldn't be goading me like this.

I'm done with this back-and-forth.. No sense reminding you of the 'Affordable Care Act' and those dark days leading to its passage. You either don't remember or weren't following it. You just go ahead and believe Democrats don't cheat. You go ahead and believe that..

Fine. Then, by that knock-kneed "logic": it shouldn't matter one whit whom we nominate in 2016, or how conservative they are; and, therefore, we can run Sarah Palin, or Allen West, or anybody the conservative voting base damned well wants, with no b!tching or kvetching from the party's squishy, socially liberal "moderates" and suchlike... right?

"Good luck with whatever it is you've decided to use, however, as a budget substitute."

What a hilarious choice of words, given Bobo hasn't presented a budget in a coon's age.

By the way, your quest for a new Derangement? Not flattering...

... which has nothing whatsoever to do with me, demonstrably. Swing and a miss.

Why on earth would I need to "search for a new Derangement [sic]," for heaven's sake? It's on full and unpleasantly revealing display, here on this very site, as essayed by a small, gibbering clot of ineffectual paranoiacs who've somehow managed to confuse posting the online equivalent of "ba-DOW! ba-DOW!" with credible post-election analysis.

Do, by all means, enjoy watching Jebbie and/or Christie gracefully conceding to Hillary come election night 2016, should those hapless, howling slack-jaws and fumble-wits manage to get their way once more, however.

"ba-DOW! ba-DOW!"

'Unskewed' Pollster: 'Nate Silver Was Right, And I Was Wrong'

I don't mind if any of Silver's former (or, Lord help us all, current) fannish cargo cult ultimately decide to cast him as Part and Parcel of the Great and Awful Anti-Mittens Campaign Swindle -- he is, IMHO, a peculiarly bumbling and inelegant confidence trickster; thus deserving conservatives' scorn, and little else -- but: they are going to have to deal with his own highly public record of hugely inappropriate burblings (such as the example posted, directly above), somewhere along the way.

FACT: Pappy Bush (CINO) lost re-election. Dole (CINO) lost, period. McCain (CINO) lost, period. Romney (CINO) lost, period.

FOX showed a segment where they were touting Chris Christie as the next candidate for president in 2016. I almost threw a chair through the TV.

voter fraud has been a Chicago tradition
the fraud existing in the swing states is well documented

why do we put up with this?
this need to be put forward to invalidate the “one”

why would somebody move to Chicago to start their political
career if they had honest intentions?

>>Sorry. I refuse to keep my ‘stolen election’ theories to myself.

Thank you for having the courage to think for yourself, stand up for what you believe, and say what you observe - even if it’s not what the “everybody” else is saying. There are too few people in this country willing to do that. And THAT is why we lost the election.

Everybody knows that 0bama is cool.

Everybody knows that voting against 0bama is racist.

Everybody knows that 0bama was born in Hawaii.

Everybody knows that 0bama is legally qualified to be President.

Everybody knows that 0bama is soooooo smart.

Let’s just all move along, shall we? If you don’t agree you are a crazy, whacko, conspiracy nut.


My personal opinion is that the election tally is like the birth certificate. 0bama may or may not have legally won and he may or may not have been born when and where he says, but in both cases there is something seriously wrong. I know that Democrats commit voter fraud. I’ve seen blatantly illegal actions at the polls with my own eyes and then I’ve seen the thuggish attempts to lie about it and destroy the evidence that it happened. I’ve also seen the fake BC posted online.

The voter fraud doesn’t prove he lost, but a sane person must question the actual numbers. The fake BC doesn’t prove he was born in Kenya, but a sane person must question what it is he is hiding by posting a fake.


So again, I thank you, 0bama_Is_Sabotaging_America, for having the courage to stand up and say what you’ve observed and what you think.

It is possible for the points you posted to be true and at the same time it is possible that the Democrats committed massive voter fraud. These are not incompatible facts.

Using Alinsky tactics (graphics which mock their views and opinions) against fellow Conservatives who present views which differ from yours does not help us. It only divides us and helps the socialists. I would respectfully ask you to reserve mockery for the socialists/marxists/liberals/progressives.

When one of our own makes statements I disagree with, I prefer to engage respectfully and with facts.


FACT: Democrats commit voter fraud.

Whether the amount of voter fraud they committed was enough to swing the election is in question, but the fact that they committed it is, for most of us, not in dispute.

Every time a FReeper willingly lowers themselves into the chill, dead darkness of 9/11 "trutherism," or cognitively flatulent Election Day conspiracy theories, or chimpanzee puckerings on how infant innoculations cause autism, or any one of a dozen other gibbering dead ends: the enduring intellectual legacy of Hamilton and Webster, Reagan and Buckley, takes another direct hit, midships.

I just don't have the time... the patience... or even the baseline interest in dealing "courteously" with that sort of protracted online drooling any longer.

My suggestion, re: your evident dilemna: learn a good coping mechanism.
