More “Shocking” Polls in the Media: The GOP Doesn’t Stand a Chance!

Via Pollster.com:
A new Newsweek national survey of 1,001 adults (conducted 5/3 through 5/3 by Princeton Survey Research Associates) finds …
Let’s stop right there. 1,001 adults? The poll’s already meaningless. It doesn’t matter what adults think; it matters what registered voters think.
The media is predictably orgasmic over this poll:
A national poll conducted by Newsweek has some disturbing news for the GOP - every one of the top three Democratic presidential candidates beats every one of the main Republican candidates in head-to-head matchups.
If these polls are so reliable, why is that every real candidate hires private polling firms at ridiculous expense to get their own independent results? The question is rhetorical of course: the only people who put stock in media polls are the media themselves. And liberals who need something to talk and blog about.

If you have one of these stickers on your car, I’m sorry. I truly feel sorry for how blatantly stupid you’re proving to the world that you are. You’re only underscoring what thinking people have known to be true for quite some time: liberal Democrats have no ideas. They define themselves simply by being “not the other guy”. Not George Bush.
And your wholesale purchase of this mindset automatically disqualifies you from any rational political discussion. This bumper sticker lets you feel comfortable by curling up into a little ball and tuning out from any real political ideas. It helps you delude yourself into thinking that all of the world’s ills will magically be healed once George Bush is out of office.
It’s not a valid idea. It’s not a platform or paradigm to which smart people subscribe.

Thomson: Gays Need Not Apply

Tommy Thomson laid it out pretty clearly in last night’s debate: employers have the absolute right not to hire gays if they so choose.
Via CNN.com:
Thompson was asked by the moderator: “If a private employer finds homosexuality immoral, should he be allowed to fire a gay worker?”
The former Wisconsin governor answered: “I think that is left up to the individual business. I really sincerely believe that that is an issue that business people have got to make their own determination as to whether or not they should be.” The moderator appeared a bit startled: “OK, so the answer is yes?” Thompson replied, “Yes.”
Nothing chaps the collective ass of the left more than absolute freedom of choice. For them, it’s incumbent upon every employer to hire anyone the government mandates that they hire and pay them whatever same government mandates that they be paid. This is crap. Employees have the freedom to work wherever they like for whomever they like. So too do employers have the right to hire and fire anyone for any reason. Were I so inclined to hire only black quadriplegic lesbians named Crystal, that’s my absolute right. It’s my business and my choice. The government - and the left in this case - can screw.
Thomson must have felt the pressure for his “surprising” answer, because he predictably went on to apologize:
Thompson told “American Morning” that he “misinterpreted” the question and should have asked to have it repeated.
“That’s never been my position,” Thompson said, said adding that discrimination isn’t acceptable.
What crap. Have a sack for god’s sake and stand up for what you believe in.
