Good God! Are people really so stupid they don't know polls are merely guesses? Well, based on what I read here, yep. They really are that stupid.
If Fox viewers are so intelligent, why did they dismiss people with the track records of Silver or Sabato, and why did they look like such fools the morning of the 7th?

Those polls probably caused a heck of a lot of Romney voters to stay home, so certain were they of victory according to the Fox.

Then again, in less than 2 weeks, the GOP has thrown Romney under the bus. Go figure, eh.

My goodness - some of the Repuplicans on this forum sure did not know the difference. Have you seen just a fraction of the in-your-face prediction threads? Not tempered by - this could be wrong or, it's just a poll. Nope, 100% dead certain that their poll numbers were correct.

So those people that don't know that polls are complete guesses? Appear to be Republicans.

A perhaps less biased source. Maddow does seem to be giving Hannity a run for his money, especially in the 12 am repeats. But Fox ain't hardly getting 'trounced'.

I'm not surprised. I've turned off politics for the foreseeable future, including the few random moments that I choose to watch TV.

It looks like more people are interested in reality these days or at least more people now understand that Fox Noise only sells lies and propaganda. Sure, the wing nuts find the lies and propaganda comforting but it isn't real and it only makes you a misinformed fool.

I've wondered that. Those fools at MSNBC are none too bright, but they can't possibly be dumb enough to believe the crap they spew. Nobody is that dumb. Well, on second thought...............look around.............

As a little aside, I wonder how Baracky 0bama pronounces the website that graphic is from. "NewsCorpse".

lol. What a dumb bunny that fool is.
This is understandable, coming from you. You would rather hear the lies of Fox, which reenforce your distorted alternative universe than the truth on MSNBC. Remember, while Fox was telling its audience what they wanted to hear -- how Romney was going to win in a landslide, MSNBC was showing that the actual polls favored Obama. Which of these two ended up being right, huh?

The polls, which Fox ridiculed, ended up being 100% correct.

Fox has no credibility. It's a propaganda network where conservatives go to listen to their fantasies.

If you're going to call other people stupid, perhaps you should at least try not to say something completely divorced from reality in the same sentence.

This post is full of anger and insults. This is why FOX is losing. Catering to this type of madness.
