Stupid Poll: Pet Owners prefer McAmbien to Obama 42-37%

[SuperTrouper]

I never cease to be amazed about the stupidity of our pollers. MSNBC just reported that a poll of pet owners prefer McLizard to Obama by 42-37%. Must be a sloe news day with stupid news like these.

2. I have to agree

when I read that, my first thought was how dumb it was for them to bother polling on something like that.

Someone should write NBC and ask them if there aren't some other pressing issues Americans are worried about that would be better to poll on.

3. We foster dogs...

have a dozen. These pet owners, protectors, and our pets hate McAmbien. (Love that moniker for boring John.)

4. And what's the margin of error on that?

At least 5 percentage points, I'd bet. Polls are getting ridiculous...

5. Their sample was probably all republican registered voters. n/t

Pet owners, heh. Could we be getting just a tad selective here, hmmm?

7. 'Ladies of the Night' prefer McCain too

imagine the scandal

9. Why? So they wouldn't be forced to have sex with McCain?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

12. McCain has a collection

[Bettie]

10. Who comes up with this crap?

I mean, really! And clearly, they were VERY selective in the pet owners surveyed!

Every (literally every) Republican I know (and I'm related to many of them) doesn't have pets while EVERY liberal I know has several!

So, maybe the title of the article should be "Republican Pet Owners Prefer McCain, but not by much!"
