Very nice. The polls will look this way in 2012.

Yeah, and American Idol is also probably #1 too. Just a reminder about the populace.

So representative of the great rancid, unwashed American masses. Bet every one of those Fox Freaks is
a “reel proud Murcun Patriot, Geesussah-lovin Christyun, miltery hee-roh, fam-lee values, homo-hatin’, tuff-guy
Publicun. Godd Bluss Murcuh n r flag tew!!!” Some things just never change. “Forward!!! Tew thee 1950′s!!”
Yup!!

Ah yes… the ol’ tried and true strategy of winning over your opponents and gaining supporters, by insulting those who don’t agree with you, and calling them stupid.

I’m sure that strategy will pay HUGE dividends for you in the future.
