    Polls Shmolls

    Just watch, just before election the polls are going to shift toward almost a tie—“inexplicably!”, "could be the race factor, Katie". You still don't get it. The polls are propaganda of abortion afficianado desperados- salonistas, if you will. Imagine a salonista-- say Glenn Greenwald -- taking a poll. Would he be honest? Would he be capable of being honest -- what, with the freedom of humanity and the earth at stake, and the right to convince your gf to have an abortion so you don't have to support them. No, to the liberal salonistas these things are worth lying about. It's their duty to lie.

    Subtract 15 points from Obama, and that will give you the true numbers. I'm confident of it.
