8. We Have A Winner...Spot On

It's action/reaction...the worse this regime gets and the more people who despise it, the more often we hear "polls" that claim the manchild's popularity is on the rise. Or, when there's some major media event that equates network with popularity...such as the coronation or the SOTU...networks want to generate high numbers to show interest, viewership and attempt to spin to themselves the "legimatacy" of their whoring.

The concept of "popularity" is garbage as it's such a objective term. What is popluar? Is is someone you like cause of his hair or the way he speaks (or mis-speaks)...or that "you can have a beer with". That seems to be the criteria today.

It's surely not based on issues as this rarely do they clear a simple majority when a specific issue is polled...or the manchild's job performance is graded.

What I find most interesting is how low this regime's numbers are, despite companies like Gallup that are in the GOOP's pocket, working hard to skew their samples to concoct the results their corporate masters want broadcast.

Sadly, the only poll that matters happened last November, our job now is to prevent that from happening again and to outst all Repugnicans from any position of responsibility.
