"Heathen Hypothesis" Holding Strong in California - Nov 1 poll shows strength in unity!

Last Monday, I discovered who was likely responsible for the winning margin in the major LA
Times/USC poll for governor and US Senate - those who "Never" attend church. They're 28% of the
electorate and strongly in favor of Brown and Boxer (DU Post,
Full Article)

I called it the "Heathen Hypothesis."

A just released poll, Nov 1, by SurveyUSA just showed Jerry Brown waxing eBay's Meg Whitman and
Barbara Boxer well in front of Carly "outsourced" Fiorina.

Here are the very latest numbers. Could it be that the "Heathen Hypothesis" was right :evilgrin:
Maybe, maybe not, but one can always hope.

SurveyUSA - Nov 1 California



"Never" on Sunday!

6. I'm just working to pay my health insurance as a self employed
citizen, which went up 25% from last year. I should be grateful. Other plans went up 50% or more.

I guess we, the self employed, are just expected to die off. That would make them happy!

Brain power to be a lobbyist, and worked in the inner cabal of DC. then you'd have a salary made rather effortlessly, with a plush view-appointed office, many favors (especially around Christmas time when AIG or Sachs send out their presents) and you have fully paid bennies as well.

But "do gooder" that you are, you choose each day of your life to make a really important difference to the people around you. At your job, in your family and community, and here on the cyberspace arenas as well. (You may not notice the accomplishments you achieve but they exist none the less, like the path of a trickle of fresh mountain water on granite, slowly etching away the cliff.)

The livers of the inner cabal cringe as their brains process images of people like you. "Fie on these contemptuous, sanctimonious "do gooders." Especially those who don't attend my Fundie Church of The Christ of Eternal Damnation and Smitehood! You are little better than some raghead covered Muslim, you nasty smarmy independent thinking HEATHEN!"

And so it goes. My household is really feeling the effect of everyone else as they start experiencing huge insurance premiums. (The two of us are still covered by County insurance, where we have the best doctor we have ever had.) But when people like you don't have money on account of insurance, we don't get book orders. We can see the drop in the orders since mid-summer, when the effects of "The Health Insurance 'Reform' Act" started further pillage on bank accounts of the "average" Americans.

Luckily for us, there is still a huge, pent up market in China. The metaphysical book market is surviving quite well there. And they know about Seth Returns Publishing as well.

8. I'm getting out my pin striped suit;)
Thanks so much for the kind words. The solution - get older quicker to get Medicare;) But they say
that's going away too, the Pete Peterson crowd. Maybe I'll move to Sweden or marry a Canadian and
my wife can do the same;)

4. Here's hoping the heathens favor Prop. 19.
Because really, what could be more godless than the demon weed?

seminary education.
