Rasmussen later realized that it was the 41% was the combined total of Ron Paul, Ru Paul and Mrs Paul Fishsticks.
This is great news for mccain.
I read the first two words as adjectives, and have decided that from now until eternity Ron Paul should be known as the “Pit Maverick.”
100% of the Rasmussen respondents were in Palacios, Texas.
There’s nothing quite like asking 1000 people who aren’t sure what they’re going to watch on TV tonight who they’ll vote for in 2 1/2 years.
And Ron Popaul, the distributor of the pocket fisherman, Ginsu knife, and the smokeless ashtray.
I thought the whole John Paul Jones Stevens retirement party was going to suck up all the inane drivel of political predictions by the equivalent of Helen Kellers. I stand corrected.
I hope Dr Congressman Ron Paul gets the republican nomination in 2011. Amen!
How did LaRouche do in the poll?
Uh, what the hell is Rasmussen talking about here?
“Ask the Political Class, though, and it’s a blowout. While 58% of Mainstream voters favor Paul, 95% of the Political Class vote for Obama.”
These migraine inducing pig fuckers are never going to stop.
Anybody got any side boob pics of Miss Liberty? That top is kinda loose.
[re=556117]Naked Bunny with a Whip[/re]: Why so cynical? not feelin’ the love for Dr Paul. You do know he delivers babies?
I’d like to see Ron Paul shoot a three-pointer.
the little footnote at the bottom of the survey says the sample was drawn from an even 1000 “self-professed ron paul supporters,” whatever that means.
Godammit, this is just going to rile up those ren-faire fuckers. The spastic excitement going on across the country about this, uh, second beginning of the “rEVOLution” is sure to make for a definite odor of weirdo-sweat.
[re=556133]JMP[/re]: “Political class” = people who have read a newspaper in the past week and who don’t own a period/furry costume.
and what the fuck is a “pit maverick”? a dead cow in a landfill?
[re=556137]cheeto_jeebus[/re]: Lady Lib’s free-swinging, low-hanging left tit appears to be embodying the spirit of her name all too literally.
(I think I know who might’ve modeled for it…)
The Irony is that people are buying Gold because Obama is a SocialistMarxistTrotskyiteAnarchoSyndicalist and once Ron Paul is elected president, their gold will be worth almost because all will be right on Heaven and Earth. One ounce of gold will literally be worth $1.00, because that’s what it was worth in 1880, the Year Paul is trying to set us back to.
The woman on that coin looks NOTHING like Sarah Palin. Why does Rasmussen hate capitalism?
Actually that 95% political class for Obama is a prediction not necessarily a preference. Similar results were obtained when the sample was restricted to people who can read and those who know when 2012 will occur.
Free TinFoil Hats for everyone!
They conducted the poll by telephone – and no mention of whether it was weighted to the general population. So, the respondents consisted of people who still have landlines, who don’t have caller ID, who actually answer their phones. That’s right: Teabaggers.
Ya know, I think Paul’s selection of his disciple Michelle Bachmann as his running mate will put him over the top.
Rasmussen’s polling was personally conducted in Cambodia, which may explain tthe results.
The Rasmussen automatic poller/dialer/enumerator got stuck in area code 979 for most of the time spent on this survey.
[re=556164]AutomaticPilot[/re]: I wonder how many of them came to the phone with their wife’s shotgun?
[re=556137]cheeto_jeebus[/re]: “not feelin’ the love for Dr Paul. You do know he delivers babies?”
–
Where does he deliver them? Does he bring them back, too?
Ron Paul stayed flat.
[re=556164]AutomaticPilot[/re]: Now, a number of people have caller ID (don’t know if they even still make phones without it) and still answer the phone when it’s from an 800-number; because they are either too dumb to realize that means it’s a telemarketer, pollster, or similar; or are old and lonely and desperate to talk to someone, even a recording.
In other words, yeah, teabaggers.
OMFG! We are so DOOMED! Rasmussen? Never mind…
I have a freind who insists that Rasmussen is super-reliable. The Ron Paul presidency is going to happen!
[re=556115]Terry[/re]: There were some stragglers in Giddings, TX.
However, the common thread (besides their lust for liberty) is that the respondents all own assorted candy themed cars with enlarged trucknutz.
I hate these polls because they never ask the obvious follow up question- “okay, do you know who Ron Paul is?” followed by “no, seriously, give me at least two sentences explaining what Ron Paul’s positions are…” and if they say no to the first and can’t answer the second, the respondent gets put into the “don’t know” numbers or the “fucking retard” number.
Undoubtedly Jethroe Bodine was behind that cipherin’.
So wait — if Mitt Romney beat Ron Paul a few days ago by one vote, and now Ron Paul beat Barack Obama, doesn’t that make Mitt Romney president? Either that or it makes Obama the third most popular Republican. I guess either way we get healthcare.
[re=556133]JMP[/re]: Needs more arithmetic.
[re=556180]JMP[/re]: Yeah they do. My Verizon landline (which we never answer) has no caller ID. We would have to pay extra for it.
We keep the landline still hoping Ed McMahon will call with that check he promised me in 1987.
Mayans for Ron Paul? Is that what I’m hearing?
Is Mike Gravel an “other”, … cause then I’m for “Other”!1!
So? I still want Kucinich to be elected President in 2004.
[re=556113]Formerly Preferred[/re]: Same here… I was trying to work it into a pit-bull reference, or maybe they were tangentially making fun of former “Maverick” Juan McCain.
Why so cynical?
I was hoping to vote Joe Biden into the White House. That would be fun.
Good lord. I mean, if Kerry couldn’t beat Bush in ’04, then short of a Ludicrous Depression there is no way in hell any of the insanes on the GOP slate will fare any better than a tar-and-feathering at the hands of Obama in 2012.
Ax and Barry must be yucking it up via their Blackberries right about now.
Axelrod : “u c that Rasmussen poll with Ron Paul beating u, dude?”
Obama: “OMG noobs”
This poll and two Ameros will buy you a cup of coffee.
[re=556166]SmutBoffin[/re]: Paul/Bachman? I thought is was going to be Palin/Pawlenty/Bachman sandwich ticket of some kind. In which case Ron Paul could be the pickle.
“maverick Republican Congressman Ron Paul…”
because that title worked SO well for snowbilly barbie and WALNUTS!…
All these olds are all “mavericks” now. http://www.fordmaverick.com/articles/72Sprint1.jpg
Will their followers be called pintos?
[re=556210]Mr. Dick Sprinkles[/re]: I verified this on the library of Congress website.
[re=556210]Mr. Dick Sprinkles[/re]: This nugget of wisdom will live on forever, in the library of congress.
I’m shocked 41% of a real sample would know who the fuck Doktur Ron Paul is.
Is he usin’ Ron Paul pull-tabs and Ron Paul corn dogs to spread to word?
Rest easy though, Prince Nate Silver shall ride up on hiz fine statistical steed, lance the foibles, and slay the nonsensical Ratsaremessin dragon.
I am so out of touch with Rasmussen’s America.
[re=556183]El Pinche[/re]: [re=556115]Terry[/re]: I say neither. That’s got Liberty County written all over it.
Who’s the maverick now, dog?
[re=556224]bago[/re]: HOOORJ! That’s the second comment whiff I’ve had today!
Now tell the teabaggers Doktor Paul’s in favor of legalizing the durgs and investimagationing 11/9
Go on, it’ll be funny
First McCain was the maverick, then Sarah, then McCain and Sarah, then it’s just Sarah and not McCain and now Ron Paul is the maverick? I’m confused.
[re=556226]weejee[/re]: They thought it was Ron Popeil. And who wouldn’t vote for the founder of Ronco?
It slices, dices, makes Julienne fries, makes a great Christmas gift. Now how much would you pay? But wait, there’s more!
[re=556152]Extemporanus[/re]:
When Jeebus comes and separates everyone into “goat” piles and “sheep” piles, you will be in the “goat” pile, because of that link.
Not going to lie, I learned about this news first from a YouTube comment.
You know the whole reason Rasmussen put this out was to say “lol look at that fukkin Obama, can’t barely beat a retarded man”
In what manner does the poll change when Ben Affleck is considered to be an option? I would wager to guess that Obama does even more poorly when this is offered.
Paultard autovote.
[re=556156]Snarkalicious[/re]:
Look again, focusing this time on how the orientation of the boobings is all confused and non-committal. Plus, she’s holding a Twig. There. See it now?
[re=556244]Come here a minute[/re]: Fucking stupendous! The slicey, dicey Paultards, just love it.
Susan Estrich, who managed the Presidential campaign for Michael Dukakis said, “If you really want to know what people in America think, you can’t find a smarter guy to ask than Scott Rasmussen.”
I would hope that if I had my own Wikipedia entry, it would not include too much about my activities from 1988. I was kind of an asshole then, and still am, but less so. In Scott Rasmussen’s case the obverse appears to be true.
@Mr Blifil: Well, if you can’t trust Mike Dukakis’ presidential campaign manager to know smart, who can you trust?
[re=556268]Mr Blifil[/re]: That Wiki entry looks like most of it was written by Rasmussen’s PR director; I’m surprised the opening doesn’t include “Scott Rasmussen is also one of the world’s coolest guys and has a 12-inch penis [citation needed].”
I’d like to point out that Rasmussen Polls are total fucking shit.
Any time you hear Rush, Beck, Hannity or anyone at Fox trot out a, “Poll” that seems too stupid to believe, 85% of the time it came from Rasmussen.
[re=556152]Extemporanus[/re]: Sorry to go off topic, but am I the only one who finds jutting out ribs to be unattractive?
Ha! My wise investment in 200 lbs of Ameros will finally pay off. Suck it bitches.
Gold standard: we’re all agreed!
[re=556348]Dashboard_Buddha[/re]: Yeah, it’s sad. Back in “Mean Girls,” she was cute-hot. Now she looks like 20 miles of bad road.
What is up with coin lady’s fun bags?
A president Ron Paul would transform and unite 90% of congress into moderates who would all refuse to enact anything the man wanted. Congress would love the posturing opportunity. He’d be in one term. Meh. Better than Mittens, who would enforce child brides and lots of them for all white men. Wait, did I say “better than…”
