I've never been polled!

So, Pam says I never write in my blog anymore and that the last thing I wrote was about staring down a mass murderer. I told her I didn't have anything to say anymore, that is, until last night.
I don't watch tv anymore because I have sling box and can do it online and play Spider Solitaire or read your blogs at the same time. What a great country! But, last night was the vice-presidential debate. I admit I didn't watch much of it, because I was watching the Utah-OSU game and playing an incredibly difficult game of Spider Solitaire which took great concentration.
However, I did watch the media slice, dice and mulsify just how bad Sarah Palin did. Now, I must go on record as saying I still don't know who I'm gonna vote for. I am a registered Independent. I have been one for some 20 plus years. Pam says it just because I want to be different. I say it's because I am independent. All of this aside, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNBC, XYZ, BIC, RIP, and all the others (except of course Brizszdzddxxaacaxxxxzxzxxz), pundited that Sarah Palin did okay, but that she is not qualified, not going to help McCain, not factually correct, speaks funny, ya da ya da ya da ya da. I've come to expect that. I don't watch or listen to Bill Maher, Michael Moore, Kieth Olberman (he's got some anger issues) or Rush Limbaugh for that matter. At least Rush knows he's in it for the money and it's just an act. But, I'm not a big fan of anybody bashing either party, probably because I'm not a member of either party. Letterman is starting to bug me. He's become way to anti McCain-Palin. Right now it's cool to make fun of those two. Heaven knows I like to make as much fun as the next guy, but it's too obvious. So, what was I saying, oh, here's the deal. On CNN they kept citing these polls that had just been taken with really enlightening questions like who looks more politician, and who do you trust, and who did better.
Well, it dawned on me that I've never been polled once in my life. I've stared down a mass murderer, I've been asked to take phone surveys, I've been asked to donate by the Salvation Army (good cause by the way), I've turned down the guys at the DMV that sit outside wanting me to sign up for some cause, etc. But, I've never been polled on anything political, racial, religious or come to think of it I've never even been asked to comment on what TV shows I watch or who is number one in college football.
Who are the people being polled? Where do they come from. Are they relatives of the newspeople? I've heard of the Harris poll, the Gallup poll (I've been to Gallup and I wouldn't want to poll many people there), the USA/CNN poll, the North pole and even the South Pole, but I've never been contacted by one of them. I did fall off a chin-up pole once. I was standing on the top of it trying to walk across it on the playground of Ruth Brown elementary school. My feet slipped and gravity took it's course and I hit the pole right between my legs, but that's another story. Okay, so maybe I have an aversion to polls, or poles, but don't you think at my age I should have at least been asked to be in some sort of poll. I never have been asked to be part of a focus group. I've never even taken the Pepsi challenge. I can't even give my opinion in church, especially the High Priest's Group. They cringe when I raise my hand. Pam, on many occasions, has forcefully put her hand on my hand and pressed down hard when I'm about to raise it in Sunday School. I get it. I'm opinionated, I have A.S.S., I'm an idiot, I like to hear my own voice, I write too long of blogs, etc. But, why I haven't I ever been polled?
Because of my lack of polling experience, I question the polls. Who are these people that tell us how we are thinking. I didn't think Biden did better than Palin and I like Biden. I would vote for Biden for President right now. I didn't think Palin did bad at all. I actually like her voice. It reminds me of the movie "Fargo". You know the pregnant small town police chief woman. I'd vote for her as president. Geez, she captured the murderer and figured out the crime. Sure she said "you betcha" a lot. Kind of cute I thought. Come to think of it I like her character really a lot because I've also stared down a mass murderer.
Okay, now you know why they won't call on me in High Priest's quorum, but I would like to take a poll on my blog. How many of you have been polled for anything political. I'm talking about a real poll, not if you would like to donate to a political party or if you would like to have information sent to you about car insurance. Please let me know. Anwser my poll. A simple yes or no would do, or you can write an epistle. Now is your chance to be a part of the process. If you live in a mansion or live in a van down by the river, take part in my poll. Have you ever been politically polled?

Oh by the way, I'm starting a new blog at Pam's request called "Hot Dawg in Hamburg". Instead of sending you the emails from Chad we are going to post them on this new blog with photos, etc. That way if you really want to read about him you can, if you don't you are going to hell anyway and you don't have to read the blog.

Did I mention that I stared down a mass murderer?
