Everything Offends Me
After voting today, for the first time, I was given a sheet of paper upon exiting that asked me details about my vote. The box I entered it into was marked CNN/ABC.

Since I have 0 respect for the media I was not truthful. I hope others were the same.

So - according to CNN, I voted for Barack Obama, I make very little money, and race is a giant issue for me.

Anyone else get exit polled?
 
Did you rub it on your naughty bits just to be extra childish?

No matter what, I don't that to be reported all that accurately.
 
It will be very, very interesting to compare the final vote tallies with all the polls leading up to and on exit from the voting booths today. And there are many reasons other than Nick's sort of orneriness for folks to lie about their true voting intentions (or actual ballots cast). Might be a few political science, sociology, and psychology PhD theses to be written over the next decade or so based on the results of this election.
 
I declined. Secret ballot and all that stuff. None of CNN's bus. It's crazy!! We'll know in a few hours anyway.

Best,

Dave
 
I have zero respect for the media - so my response is just to not bother paricipating in exit polls. Plus, people will lie on exit polls, thus making them pretty well worthless.

I'll just wait until I get some official results in, only to be told that no, the results are not valid, we need a recount.

When this country was founded, the long delay between election day and inauguration was because it could actually take that long for the ballots to get to where they needed to be and then be counted up by hand. These days, it should take all of 5 minutes with computers, if that. It's pretty sad that we've botched up the system so much that, despite with all this improved communications technology, it takes just as long if not longer.
 
Nick, first of all I want to thank you for the thread title. It really provides an excellent lead-in to a number of off-color jokes. Unfortunately, Hangar Talk is not the place for such jokes. Nor, I suppose, is Spin Zone. It's a shame, really. Anyway, thanks for providing a private laugh!:thumbsup:

Second, I just want to state for the record -- you sure are an ORNERY SUMBITCH, and I salute you for it!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::cheerswine:

I have no qualms about making them.

Did it hurt, Nick?

Nick got exit polled...

As David Letterman used to say, "And I think we all know how painful that can be!"

It takes a while to verify the votes from the dead people. Somebody has to go to the cemetery, actually see the stone, etc. It's an exhausting job, especially in Chicago.

so you lied huh. Good for you. The only thing the media is good for is spreading nasty rumors.

Ed's whole family is hilarious, and I love them for it. You missed Diz's top at 6Y9: "If I were any nicer, I'd be a *****." :rofl:
 
Nice job, Nick. They can't do that in 38 of the 39 counties in the state of Washington. No polling places. All vote by mail. And King County (Cook County west) will vote by mail in all future elections. Like you, I have no trust in the press, especially CNN.
