McCain's Riding High on the Polls. Tell Me, What the Hell is That all About??

[Kurovski]

Just a few months ago right-wing religious leaders were claiming John McCain would never get their flocks to vote for him. He had the over-all popularity of a Mr. Kravitz-Eddie Haskell hybrid.

It's curious how Repub candidates suddenly sky-rocket in the polls when necessary. I get a funny feeling in my head whenever it happens--and it happens a lot. It's like magic! Or something at least equally as bogus.

But who cares? I'm tired of being thought of as an untreated Paranoiac. I think it's really cool that Johnny is flying high, and there HAS TO BE a good reason for it.

So I'm catching McCain Fever. You'll know when YOU get it too, it's like the latest fashion in flu, but with twice the puking.

Yep. It's such a shame we all can't either be him, or be married to him. If there were a God, we'd all at least get to go skateboarding once with him. Or a phone call. What's one little phone call?

Tell me here by your vote, or tell me below in your own words: why is that McCain kid so damn keen?

[valerief]

1. Diebold is counting the polls. nt

[Kurovski]

11. Diebold's new name (for true)...

"Premier Election Services".

Sounds like an over-the-phone whore-for-hire operation, doesn't it?

John McCain: Premier rent-boy. Available for four-year parties.

[valerief]

22. LOL! It does sound like a whore service. Come to think of it, it is! nt

[Kurovski]

76. I made a mistake!

Its new name is "Premier Election SOLUTIONS".

A whore by any other name would still try to cheat.

-My apologies to the filthy crapbag bastards who run that criminal operation.

[GreenPartyVoter]

12. Yep

[MrModerate]

2. This poll is broken!

I wanted to select all the answers and it wouldn't let me!

[Kurovski]

14. Sometimes life just isn't fair, my friend.

The lefties won't let us declare our McCain lovin' loud, proud, and all the way!

[SoCalDem]

3. He's still BEHIND.. that's riding high??

[Kurovski]

7. Stop saying John McCain isn't fabulous. He totally is. Stop being paranoid!

I bet you're the type to have terrorist sleep-overs.

John is as high as he wants to be.

69. Hey! That's GREAT!

Now 'Publicans can run Schwarzenegger! Watch for it soon. :rofl:

The state of Hawaii already verified his Birth Certificate, and they're pretty pissed at that li'l wanker Corsi. Corsi, who got the ball rolling on that one, is an anti-American shitbag of the highest order: Claiming that his lies are "free speech".

[Betsy Ross]

4. Do I credit "Kurovski" when I use the line:

He has the bloodless funeral parlor-pallor that millions of Victorian women poisoned themselves to achieve.

LOVE IT.

[Kurovski]

8. Please just send cash.

At least this month's mortgage. :-)

Thanks! And thanks for being a super McCain supporter!

[Solly Mack]

5. You know, it's a POW thang - Poll Only (right) Wingnuts

[Kurovski]

9. POW, also known as

Push Onto Wankers.

[Solly Mack]

10. or Pimping Old Wounds

[Kurovski]

17. Parading Our Wantoness.

--which actually sounds quite delicious when you see it spelled-out.

[Solly Mack]

18. I like the delicious

pretend I had a straight face when I said that

[mitchum]

20. or Pissy Old Wackjob

[glitch]

59. Pardon Our Wankers. nt

[B Calm]

66. Locked up in a cage for 5 1/2 years would make anybody crazy

as hell. If anything, it should make you unqualified to be president.

[defendandprotect]

6. It's MSM delusion . . . !! Who in their right mind would vote for McCain???

[SalmonChantedEvening]

13. OMHF it's you!!

Cmere Dr K. :hug: :loveya:

Spell Schmell who reads anymore... ;)

How in the hell are you?

:bounce:

[Kurovski]

15. Look at you! You're getting everything all WET!

:rofl:

:hug:

:loveya:

How am I? Oy. Such a headache I got. I tossed so many tablets down, I named it Mount Sinai.

But you, mein bubbala, how ARE YOU, my big salty bialy?

[SalmonChantedEvening]

26. I are advil bound

The shoulder, it should be torn down and the land sublet.

Playing and writing, minding the kids* and lolcatting every sunday in Teh Lounge. The wunnerful folks there have made me feel as at home as I do in GD.

Byss me kyutiful. :D

:hugpile:

*The kids are 85 and 80. They are steady and well. Don't get no better'n that.

[FatDave]

52. You two may be funnier than the OP.

And the OP is a work of genius!

[and-justice-for-all]

16. If it is not Zogby...

than I am not in the least bit concerned.

[Kurovski]

19. Is it different if it's Reuters/Zogby?

This is the poll that finally brought me to this crescendo of annoyed distrust. This crap with the polls happens all the flippin' time.

"Keep the numbers close enough to steal"

http://time-blog.com/real_clear_politics/2008/08/reuterszogby_mccain_5.html

[and-justice-for-all]

65. Indeed....

Polls get made out to say whatever the pollster wants it to say..

I have major distrust issues with polls.

[JeffR]

21. Hmm. Had to go with option 1, but they're all great choices.

Your smartness and handsomeness are, of course, a given.

[Kurovski]

30. I keep forgetting that.

Although I do enjoy saying it yet again.

Can I touch you..."here"?

:hug:

[JeffR]

36. That used to tickle when my pastor did it,

so yeah, go ahead.

[Kurovski]

40. I promise that you won't feel all "oogy" when I do it.

Or maybe not.

Nance isn't watching...











...is she?

[JeffR]

44. No, but I'll be obligated to tearfully break down and confess later.

:scared:

[Kurovski]

45. Why oh why have I been giving you all those free bastard lessons?

"If ya don't turn cold, it don't get sold".

[JeffR]

47. He is a poor pupil indeed who does not surpass his master.

:cry:

[Kurovski]

48. Please. At least keep to the basics.

No public weeping unless it's to garner cash donations.

[JeffR]

51. Gotcha.

Thanks for your guidance.

[Kurovski]

55. I didn't say stop.

How is your kitten, Spencer T. Snuggleskein? Do you still need $12,000 for the surgery?

I remember him always in my prayers and will light another candle at church on Sunday for that poor, darling little cat.

[autorank]

23. I'll recommend this even if the other "yardlings" won't;)

Of course it's the last answer. That's the answers to all questions regarding Kurovoski -

"too smart and handsome" as in


"I'm Kurovski, and I'm just too smart and
handsome to be bothered."

[Kurovski]

28. Ah yes. Yes, yes, I recognize those lips and that jawline!

I tenderly kiss them in the looking glass each night before I place my very soul into the dreams of of the Gods themselves!

[autorank]

35. And the Gods are no doubt grateful for your presence

:evilgrin:

[Kurovski]

38. You know...I edited that part out.

I did. "Grateful Gods" is what I typed, but thought it too conceited. Is that devil there because you can read all...even when I'm sequestered in an undisclosed location?

[autorank]

54. Well, we know a little about your lineage and where you are at all times

Sequestered in debauchery of the royal type

[Kurovski]

56. I try not to leave DNA behind

but...well...you know.

[autorank]

57. He's a nice enough young man.

Unlike that little Damien.

[Kurovski]

58. Or all those other little Adolphs?

I'm pleased to hear it. I hope he appreciates the arts.

Foxy Boxing at least.

[scarletwoman]

24. Whoaaa. I'm, like, having this major deja vu. See, there was this poll back in November 2007...

And one of the poll choices was "Kurovski is too smart and too handsome..."

And THAT choice -- so très outré, so non sequitur -- was irresistable to me.

And thus began the most intensely poignant and sublime relationships of my entire life, the winning of untold numbers of DUzys, and countless Friday evenings filled with witty reparté and double entendres so luscious and rich in subtext that I had to sit on a towel while I typed.

My dear Kurovski, I have no choice but to vote -- once again -- that you are too smart and too handsome. None of the rest matters. Only YOU matter to me.

Now I must go fetch a towel...

:loveya:
sw

p.s. Who is this McCain that you speak of?

[Kurovski]

32. My goodness. All that French!

What is McCain? Oh, just some beer heiress' little plaything. An overpriced bowling trophy, really. And a NOISY one at that.

:loveya:

[scarletwoman]

39. Ah, mon cher. No other language but French -- la langue d'amour -- will suffice to express

those feelings which you inspire.

"Bowling trophy" is truly an apt metaphor -- shiny on the outside, base metal on the inside, and signifying little.

25. Do you believe in magic?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaqRwFyoGgQ

Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart
How the music can free her, whenever it starts
And it's magic, if the music is groovy
It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie
I'll tell you about the magic, and it'll free your soul
But it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock and roll

:rofl:

[Kurovski]

31. *Sigh*

Johnny Angel, how I love him
How I tingle when he passes by
Everytime he says hello
My heart begins to fly.

Johnny Angel how I want him
He's got something that I can't resist
But he doesn't even know that I exist.

I'm in heaven, I get carried away
I dream of him and me and wonder how it's gonna be
All the fellows call me up for a date
But I sit and wait.
I'd rather concentrate
On Johnny Angel
`Cause I love him
And I pray that someday he'll love me
And together will see how lovely heaven will be.

34. The Spoonful is all over these "polls".

[Kurovski]

41. The Repub crapola gets stinkier with every election cycle.

There aren't that many self-destructive people in America.

[scarletwoman]

27. Kick for Kurovski! (nt)

[Patsy Stone]

29. You *are* much too smart and too handsome

But I had to give my vote to the Tim Conway reference.

:loveya:

[Kurovski]

33. Some truths are truer than others.

Or at very least more relevant.

:loveya:

[edbermac]

37. Polls are bullshit.

Just ask Harry.

[Kurovski]

43. They do have some use, such as if you want to help cover-up

election theft.

It's useful bullshit.

[Greyhound]

42. Television, the drug of our nation. Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation.

the Sheeple will believe and do anything they are told through their new oracle.

[Mnemosyne]

46. Off to the Greatest Kurovski!

:hi:

My guess; faked polls.

I voted for your handsome/brilliant option. :)

[Kurovski]

49. Thank you, vickiss!

It feels good to see you again! :hi: :hug:

[Mnemosyne]

67. Good to see you too!

:hug:

And pleased I was able to send your thread to the Greatest for once! :)

[Laurab]

50. So many choices but it wasn't even close.

"Kurovski is too smart and too handsome" was the only choice for me. Why that makes me like McCain, I can't quite figure out, but just seeing Kurovski's name again made me forget everything else. If Kurovski typed it, I just know it makes perfect sense!



:loveya: :loveya: :pals: :hug:

[Kurovski]

53. I think you're just trying to get Shirley McCain's autograph.

:loveya: :hug:

[Laurab]

60. Oh don't be silly, it's only you I want!

Yours I would frame and hang on the wall - or maybe keep under my pillow. It would warm me on the cold winter nights, and cool me in the summer. It would bring out the sunshine on cloudy days and brighten the sunshine on sunny days. It would stop the rain, melt the snow. It would lower my electric bill because of the sun that shined off of it. That's just what happens when I see your name...:loveya:



Unless I could sell hers on eBay of course... :-)

[myrna minx]

61. I hold these truths to be self evident:

"Kurovski is too smart and too handsome, even if he can't spell Shirley McCain's name."

I hold and ponder these "truths" in my heart, as I wail to the heavens, that I missed my most brief, yet most poignant moment with my dear Kurovski. WHYYY!!! *cue rain, with the slow knee drop, outstretched arms, with the mascara stained pious face sobbing towards heaven aerial crane shot* I missed my dear Kurovski!!! Exclamation points are especially important, otherwise my dear won't know that I miss him. :loveya:

[Kurovski]

68. Now, now...come in from rain, sit by the fire.

Here...I have a parcel of McCain campaign literature wound 'round with string, peel off a page and cast it into the flames whilst I bring you tea and sweetcakes.

:-) :loveya: Thank you!

[Swamp Rat]

62. Kurovski!!!

:hug:

I voted, 'Kurovski is too smart and too handsome', but McNuts does have an ashen pallor. :D

[myrna minx]

63. I've been accused of being a Victorian, of ashen pallor, yet if my corset is too tight,

at least I swoon for Kurovski. :loveya:

[Kurovski]

70. McCain

also has the Goth vote tied-up.

[Kurovski]

71. Swampski!

:hug: :loveya: I like McCain because he mimics the shrieks of a petulant simian so well! "ChimpyII".

[Swamp Rat]

73. 'Shut the fuck up, Donnie! You're outta your league!'

McLame is second-tier simian compared to the Chimpmeister. :D

[Kurovski]

74. So then...you're voting McCain?

:rofl:

It's best for the nation's zoological interests.

[Kurovski]

72. Let's also remember McCain's stellar support of veterans!

Sure, he repeatedly votes down programs to help them and pay them, but McCain is just trying to keep them independent and self-reliant.

[Donald Ian Rankin]

75. He's a right-winger in a very right wing country.

Americans may give different answers to pollsters when asked about single issues, but what an awful lot of them tend to vote for is politicians who are anti-tax and anti-Abroad ("unAmerican" is used as a term of contempt), and to a slightly lesser extent anti-gay and anti-abortion,.

Any Democrat is going to have an uphill struggle to win the presidency.

[Kurovski]

77. One more time. (nt)
