SCIENTIFIC STUDIES

Random Blurtings Reveal Voters’ Innermost Thoughts

My head hurts.If the global collective unconscious may be likened to a vast, roiling ocean, then your average American voter’s mental workings are a fetid kiddie pool with a half-deflated beach ball bobbing around the perimeter. So what better way to plumb voters’ depths than to ask them to shout out whatever word comes into their head whenever they hear some other word?

An AP/Yahoo News poll reveals that when voters hear “John McCain,” they involuntarily holler “old,” while “Barack Obama” elicits orgasmic cries of “change.” Also, voters tend to think John McCain is tuff while Obama is warm and cuddly.

Clinton voters don’t like Obama any more now than they did in November, but of course in November none of them even knew who he was. Now that they know he is the NOOBZAMA CRUSHER OF DREAMZ who subverted Democracy by failing to RESPECT A WOMEN, it is kind of surprising that they don’t dislike him more than ever.

But John McCain will win the election because he is 9 percentage points more popular than the Republican party, whose collective approval ratings rest somewhere between Ghengis Khan and Bill Buckner.

In conclusion, surveys r dumb.

    You say, “Bush” and I say “shaved.”

    Dammit Wonketeers, we’re not doing our jobs. If by November the first word that comes to voters mind when they hear “John McCain” isn’t “cunt,” then we have all failed.

    I just tried it. When I think “Obama” I get “interracial porn.” Unfortunately, I get the same thing when I think of McCain. I think my brain has turned into the internet.

    Trollop: You say “Wonkette” but I hear “Truck NUTZ.”

  5. Republican >> Trucknutz Slurper!

    weirdiowasculpture: I dare you to try “Clinton”

  7. Lascauxcaveman says at 12:33 pm, July 7th, 2008

    When I hear the word “Wonkette” the word that pops into my mind is “threadjack” so, what the hell, here goes:

    Q: Would you vote for John McCain?
    A: Depends.

  9. Nasara says at 12:34 pm, July 7th, 2008

    I think this study is bogus. Usually, when you ask an average American anything, the first thing he thinks of is “McDonald’s!”

  10. Cindy = Cunt

  11. RuperttheBear says at 12:38 pm, July 7th, 2008

    McCain = I turn purple with rage and kick my dog

  12. Brutus Harlot says at 12:39 pm, July 7th, 2008

    I hear McCain and I holler “older than the peanut butter and jelly sandwich!”

  13. Brutus Harlot says at 12:40 pm, July 7th, 2008

    Nasara: That’s why I think http://www.365black.com when I hear Obama.

  14. NoWireHangers says at 12:45 pm, July 7th, 2008

    Brutus Harlot: Re: that website
    “like the unique African Baobab tree, which nourishes its community with its leaves and fruit, McDonald’s has branched out into the African-American community nourishing it with valuable programs and opportunities.”

    What…the…..FUCK?

  15. S.Luggo says at 12:47 pm, July 7th, 2008

    When I hear Time on line, I think it's.

  16. WadISay says at 12:52 pm, July 7th, 2008

    Brutus Harlot: I love it: “Deeeply rooted in the community. TM”

  17. FreshCliches says at 12:52 pm, July 7th, 2008

    When I hear McCain, I say, “cunt!”

    When I hear Hillary, I say, “cunt!”

    When I hear Obama, I say, “Marxist cunt!”

    (I blame it COCKSUCKER on the Tourette’s MOTHERFUCKER.)

  18. We’re going to be fucked in the ass again, aren’t we?

  19. anabellum says at 12:59 pm, July 7th, 2008

    i object to this use of liberal pseudo-psychology to get poll results..

    the old tried and true method using phrenology worked just fine…

    TGY: Daily Anal Rape baby…

  21. qwerty42 says at 1:06 pm, July 7th, 2008

    Geeze, the Boston guys are still writing about Bill Buckner?

  22. shortsshortsshorts says at 1:08 pm, July 7th, 2008

    TGY: 200 years of assfucking and you still don’t feel it? My ass is to the point of hotdog down a hallway.

  23. SayItWithWookies says at 1:14 pm, July 7th, 2008

    NoWireHangers: They obviously never read “The Little Prince” — it should read, “like the Baobab, we will reach down into the heart of your tiny planet and rip it into little pieces.”

  24. WonksRunAmuck says at 1:32 pm, July 7th, 2008

    NoWireHangers: supporting the local economy one heart attack at a time.

  25. AxmxZ says at 1:58 pm, July 7th, 2008

    Obama = Cheburashka.

  26. AngryBlakGuy says at 2:59 pm, July 7th, 2008

    …why in the hell am I NEVER one of the people asked to take these polls!?!?!

    John McCain = Bushes Bitch or Married to a C%nt!

    Barack Obama = Pant Suit or Son of a Mill worker

  27. Advocatus_Diaboli says at 3:19 pm, July 7th, 2008

    Hmmm, when I hear “stupid poll” I usually think “stupid fucking poll”.

  28. Odd Ass City says at 3:49 pm, July 7th, 2008

    AxmxZ: Are you tying to make fun of my pikture logo thing of Cheburashka? If you want me to change, please offer suggestions, like Karlsson.

  30. Dreadful Gate says at 8:55 pm, July 7th, 2008
