The fembots and mannequins at Fox & Friends, the horrific pretend news hour that consists of vapid banter that makes Good Day NY look like PBS News Hour, were flabbergasted by one of their own polls that showed their viewers overwhelmingly believing President Obama would beat Republicans Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich.
According to the Fox News Poll, 44 percent of respondents believed President Obama would win the 2012 presidential election while only 16 percent believed Newt Gingrich would win and 15 percent thinking Mitt Romney would. This is when Murdoch’s fembot exploded in a frenzy of shock as though she just saw Dick Cheney without his human skin.
Here’s the video:
Given that this occurred on Fox News, one can only conclude Gretchen Carlson manufactured disbelief to fulfill some nefarious conservative agenda. For example, maybe the fembot (or foxbot) is trying to rally dispirited conservative voters or ones that simply cannot stomach Romney, or maybe the poll served as actual, verifiable news and Fox News simply forgot to ‘edit’ the results. Regardless, this appears to be the side affects of realitytown accidentally making its way into the bloodstream of crazytown. It may be time to bring back Beck in order to shock its audience back into incoherence.

Fox and friends = The Today show for retards…
I’m an Indie, but it’s Dems all the way this time. The Teabagging idiots in Congress have to go. Shameful, holding the county’s economy hostage to put one man out of a job.
I really hope Obama is reelected, so he can continue such a stellar job with the economy. Every economist knows that raising taxes on businesses will create jobs, right? Also, good job calling them Tea-Baggers, I love 1st grade name-calling!
“Every economist knows that raising taxes on businesses will create jobs, right?”
Would those be the same economists who told us a decade ago that giving a tax break to the wealthiest among us would actually create jobs?
Small businesses rarely make decisions based on their tax rate and big businesses know they can avoid taxes through creative accounting practices. Spending decisions are based on demand for products or services. No demand, no reason to produce, no need for employees.
Gotta agree with Lisa M. on this one. It was obvious the Corporations that select candidates were ok with Barack Obama in ’08, which is why McCain/Palin were set up on the GOP ticket. Do we REALLY think Corporations, who dictate who our candidates will get to be, are choosing Bachmann, Gingrich, Cain, Romney and Perry because they think any of them would make good presidents? It’s a win-win for Corporations, as long as the people keep falling for the lie that we have free elections and democracy in America. Time to demand our own candidates, refuse to go along with the two party corporate political machine. Demand instany runoff balloting in YOUR state, so you can begin the process of reclaiming America from The Corporate-Military-Police State.
Hmmm I read the poll differently. 44% think Obama will be re-elected. That means 56% doesn’t think he will win.. Just have a different opinion on who his opponent will be.
If I was a republican I would be very encouraged by this poll.. As a liberal, we should be very very scared. Obama is about to get beat like a rented mule next year.
Glad you’re not a pollster, Corey. The question wasn’t whether he’d be re-elected or who his opponent would be. It was “Who would win the presidency?” and Obama got 44% of the vote. So quit trolling and stop being a goober.
AT, What’s the difference between being re-elected, for Obama, and winning the presidency? I am not a pollster, so please explain! Thanks!
Jamie kind of has a point here. That 56% was split up over several choices. You could read that as 56% would vote for a Republican candidate over the Democratic one, they just differed over which one they think will get the nomination.
Lisa, you can’t possibly think they don’t want to win! They have done nothing but sabotage this President from day one of his administration! They have happily thrown the economy under the bus, refused repeatedly to cooperate in the recovery effort, and shamelessly smeared Obama at every turn! They have even managed to convince the Bubbas of the world it is all Obama’s fault.
God bless Fox News!
@Lisa M.
Really? The GOP does not want to win? Ridiculous. They do… they really, really do. The truth is the line up we see today is the very best Republicans have to offer. Sad, pathetic and true. This GOP candidate pool is an insult. I can’t believe Obama has to debate one of these morons. Between all of them, collectively, they have pretty much NOTHING to offer middle America. They are all disgraceful, silver spoon babies who are only loyal to Kochsucking Grover Norquist.
@ Valval and Lisa M,
It’s not that the GOP wants to oppose everything Obama does, it’s just they happen to have opposing schools of thought from his. Obama’s for raising taxes on the wealthy, while most Repubs. think that will prevent businesses and those who own them from growing their businesses…and in essence hiring new workers. Obama is for growing the size of government, while Tea-Partiers want smaller government and less interference in our lives. It’s a difference of philosophy, so there’s no wonder why there is such a stale-mate going on. Hopefully we can get past the name-calling and really start some debates about how to turn this country around.
GOP does not want to win this election any more than they wanted to win the one in 2008. The ones at the top KNOW that none of their ideas will fix the economy, and it’s much easier to sit on the sidelines, obstruct and criticize. That’s why they’re running this cast of clowns as their candidates. They know none of them run the risk of being elected.
