Hey, wait a tic! Isn’t jibe one of those dog-whistle words?!

What’s with Rush saying our chances are dismal and fading right before the end?
Am I missing something here? The entire transcript was very positive and then on the last line we get this. Did you lift this line from 2008?
The problem is that the lower the response rate the greater the influence on the results by isolated groups that ALWAYS ANSWER THE PHONE AND PARTICIPATE IN POLLS!
Right off hand those groups are homosexuals (aka GBLTs), abortion rights industry people, and professional feminists (aka Feminazis).
Increasing the sample size does not improve the results ~ just ropes in more of the same old same old.
Compounding the problem, there are about equal numbers of party support personnel for the BIG TWO parties, and they'll answer polls at the drop of a hat. It's possible that Republicans are overrepresented simply because fewer of them also fall into the GBLT, abortion and Feminazi categories.
Any questions?
