Poll Dancer

I always get a chuckle when I read another disinformative post published by the baas of the Second Vermont Republic at the Dixie singin', Magnolia Vermonter, Thomas Naylor's failing website about how secession is catching fire, jis' you looky see.

This time he's touting a recent poll from a Fox & Friends favorite data skewer, the Rasmussen Reports. These guys at Rasmussen have been notorious for getting it wrong - off by more than 40 points in a recent Senate election, setting a record - and for putting their thumb on the scale for Republicans (read: Teabaggers and libertarian frauds) for years. Read more here.

Not to put too fine a point on it but apparently dear Thomas takes as good news the fact that a infamously disreputable polling organization reports that more than 75% of Americans don't give a hoot about his secession baby.

Dream on, Tommy Boy, dream on. Everyone knows that the unhinged percentage of the electorate ranges between 20 to 30% and constitutes the average percentage of overt racists, misogynists, homophobes, anti-Semites and armpit sniffers in any population or sampling.

Naylor should find a less lame pollster while he's at it, since he's only embarrassing his "movement" by relying on such questionable sources for encouragement for his dying group.
