Not a chance. Im voting for RP if he makes it that far. I cant stand the idea of another 4 years of the Black Messiah. But when the polls say that 60% of americans(if you can remotely trust any poll) think there should be more candidates that's a serious problem concerning elect-ability of any of the current candidates.
I didn't say "racist faggot". I said "race much faggot?" as in obsessed with race.
And yes you can be a phaggot as well.
He's actually ahead of Obama in the latest poll according to an email they sent out yesterday (sorry no link.)
Polls don't really mean anything, but it does show an upward trend in his numbers which could be interesting.

Meh. Not to defend dmnEPC but everyone reaches for the easy insult most of the time.
Say you're driving:
Get cut off by a woman? "Dumb bitch"
Get cut off by a Asian? "Yeah... of course"
Get cut off by a man? "Fucking douche bag"
etc...

2010, Nate Silver of the New York Times blog FiveThirtyEight wrote the article “Is Rasmussen Reports biased?”, in which he mostly defended Rasmussen from allegations of bias.[18]
However, by later in the year, Rasmussen's polling results diverged notably from other mainstream pollsters, which Silver labeled a "house effect".[19] He went on to explore other factors which may have explained the effect such as the use of a likely voter model,[20] and claimed that Rasmussen conducted its polls in a way that excluded the majority of the population from answering.[21]
Silver also criticized Rasmussen for often only polling races months before the election, which prevented them from having polls just before the election that could be assessed for accuracy. He wrote that he was “looking appropriate ways to punish pollsters” like Rasmussen in his pollster rating models who don’t poll in the final days before an election.[22]
After Election night that year, Silver concluded that Rasmussen's polls were the least accurate of the major pollsters in 2010, having an average error of 5.8 points and a pro-Republican bias of 3.9 points according to Silver's model.[23] He singled out as an example the Hawaii Senate Race, in which Rasmussen showed the incumbent 13 points ahead, although in actuality Inouye won by 53[24] – a difference of 40 points, or "the largest error ever recorded in a general election in FiveThirtyEight’s database, which includes all polls conducted since 1998".[23]
TIME has described Rasmussen Reports as a "conservative-leaning polling group".[25] According to Charles Franklin, a University of Wisconsin political scientist who co-developed Pollster.com,[26] “He [Rasmussen] polls less favorably for Democrats, and that’s why he’s become a lightning rod." Franklin also said: "It’s clear that his results are typically more Republican than the other person’s results.”[27]
The Center For Public Integrity has claimed that Scott Rasmussen was a paid consultant for the 2004 George W. Bush campaign.[28] The Washington Post reported "... the Bush reelection campaign used a feature on his site that allowed customers to program their own polls. Rasmussen asserted that he never wrote any of the questions or assisted Republicans in any way..." The do-it-yourself polling service is used by Democrats as well as Republicans today through a company that licenses Rasmussen’s methodology.
Rasmussen has received criticism over the wording in its polls.[29][30] Asking a polling question with different wording can affect the results of the poll;[31] the commentators in question allege that the questions Rasmussen ask in polls are skewed in order to favor a specific response. For instance, when Rasmussen polled whether Republican voters thought Rush Limbaugh was the leader of their party, the specific question they asked was: "Agree or Disagree: 'Rush Limbaugh is the leader of the Republican Party -- he says jump and they say how high.'"[30]

You like that? I knew you would appreciate it. Lets just say it helps to be
of your opponent when in a "discussion". Sometimes you have to use the limited info that's hidden in plain sight.
