They simply call the first 997 people in NE Washington DC.

Unlike Boston, or anywhere else in the country, NE does not provide an informed response ~ just a partisan one.

WarshPost appears to have become a hobby mouthpiece for Warren Buffett. The original owners have been quietly selling it off for the last decade or so.

The Leftwingtards regularly ridicule the Washington Times for being owned by the Moonies ~ yet, let me say, I trust the Moonies a lot more than I do Warren Buffett, and I don't trust the Moonies at all!

In 1940 The Nazis were at work rewriting the Bible to construe Hitler as the real Messiah. I expect that the Obamoid movement will entertain a similar project sometime in 2009.

Count on it!

When their bellies get empty because there is no food They will blame it on Bush. They will starve to death in their stupidity, never realizing that they brought and cheered the policies that cause their deaths.

The following is a true account. A psychologist was studying perceptual learning and was interested in using chickens, whose pecking skills are tightly bound to visual perception. He found a way to affix lenses to chickens to distort their visual field 30 degrees to the left. When hungry they began to peck at an empty tray even though there was food right next to where they were pecking. They never learned to broaden their range and in fact some did succumb to hunger with a pile of food millimeters away from their mouths.

I learned of this study in 1965 and always since thought it carried a moral lesson, though I hadn't thought of it in years until reading your comment.

Wait til they get their electric bill, but no worries; the Messiah will take care of all our bills.

Yes, we are already getting the first instructions of how we are to be more optimistic via the perpetual media pot banging infomercials, pump-sessions, pep-talks, and Brown Shirt rallys promoting the (vaguely described) miracle workings of Marxist Obama that will greet us from every corner of the neo-government-controlled-media (GCM).

Sadly, we are little more than community oganizees to Marxist Obama and his obedient media servants.

As for me and my house, we will serve only the REAL Messiah. The Lord Jesus Christ.

They take the polls the same place Zogby, Rass and all the others did. And this obviously reflects a better showing than Obama had in the election. It looks like they’re hitting on all cylinders. I’m sure they didn’t ask the people how much they thought the initiatives would cost them.

The numbers are absurd even on their face; the man won by a measly 3% margin.

This country is being pushed Left and stopping it will be like trying to stop a stampeding bull in the china shop. Good luck, fellow conservatives!

You are 100% correct!!
They have a tremendous tailwind.

This is one of the dumbest polls I’ve ever seen. Are the people polled in favor of Mom and apple pie, too? And the poll doesn’t ask about any specific initiatives - not that there are any yet.

Obama isn’t even sworn in yet, and I’m already fed up with the media BS.

I cannot wait to see the looks on the faces of all the libs in Hollywood and on the Cable News shows when this nation’s economy plummets in the next 18 months and America turns on B. Hussein, the empty-suit novice, like a bunch of rabid dogs.

>>>Where did they take their friggin polls,<<<

If these numbers are legit, the American public is the most gulible, uninformed and uncritical thinkers on the planet.

Thank, I guess, to Public Schools and Teacher Unions.

These numbers cannot be legit, since 60% of Americans DO NOT BELIEVE IN GLOBAL WARMING. This so-called poll is just another propaganda stunt.

75 percent want Washington to “Implement policies to try to reduce global warming.”

OH just wait until they get a good belly full of what that means!

I believe that the economy will plumet but I do not believe that the American public will blame obama. I believe that they will blame former President Bush.

To paraphrase H.L. Mencken: The American public voted for what it wanted, and now deserve to get it...long and hard.

Well I have to say that electing the Messiah has worked at stopping global warming. He hasn’t even officially taken office yet and here I am in Portland, Oregon, home of the usually mild winters and I have snow drifts higher than my waist, I’m unable to travel to be with my family on Christmas, and my dog doesn’t even want to go outside to go potty since the snow is too high. IAnd on top of that the deep snow is covered with a layer of ice on the top and this ice caused my power to go out so it was absolutely freezing inside my house! You gotta hand it to BO - he stopped Global Warming! What a miracle worker!

The poll was conducted from Dec. 11 to 14 among a random national sample of 1,003 adults interviewed on residential telephones or on cellphones. The results from the full poll have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points; error margins for subgroups are higher.
