Confusious

I was just push polled

The usual stuff,

Barak Obama caused the deficit,

Barak Obama is cutting Medicare and throwing seniors off the rolls,

The democrat is going to support Obamas policies.

I probably used the word "Bullshit" about 10 times when she asked me questions.

Even if I had no feelings, I said I strongly agreed that I was going to vote for the democrat.

They asked if I was liberal, my answer? Compared to the Republicans, very liberal.

F***ing repugs.

Note: I only have a cell phone.

I asked how long the questions would take and he told me between around five minutes.

I said okay.

First question was 'Are you a republican or a democrat'?

I said 'democrat'.

Second question was 'Is there another person there that is home that is not a democrat?

I said 'no'.

Then he said 'thank you for your time' and hung up.

LOL

HONEST TO GOD - that is exactly how it happened - I was really pissed because I like answering poll questions with my liberal answers and I didn't get a chance to

They continue polling the ones who answer "republican't" and hang up on most of the ones who answer "Democrat". When the tally gets to be around what they were anticipating they call it a day. I knew there had to be an explanation. It just doesn't seem possible that a weasel like Romney can do as well in the polls like I have been seeing lately.
