The most arrogant man

Posted By Dave Snope
LOL.

I don't always drink whiskey, but when I do, it's to forget that he's president.

Now it's Hispanics

I don't believe that I could.create a work.of.fiction with as many arithmetic.problems as that AP horsemanure. An amazing display of shamelessly creepy logic.and slippery innuendo. They must teach classes in that at Smith's and Princeton.

Howard Stern shows how stupid Obama voters are

Posted By Dave Snope
OMG. That lady who speaks so well doesn't mind that Romney is a muslim and Paul Ryan is an african-american running on Obama's ticket, and that McCain is also running against Obama.

Speaks well and dumb as a rock. She'd make a great Congresswoman!

Poorest states are red states

Posted By Dave Snope
The differences are very small between the poorest red and poorest blue states.

I see it more as cities vs. country. Blues get their electoral votes from big cities in big states. The big cities are all solid blue and a mix of very poor and rich.

Unskewed Polls?

Posted By Dave Snope
"Skewed differently" is probably the operative term.

The major polls are indeed all skewed with a +D sample set. And the dems had, IIRC, 7% more voters in 2008. So the best you can do is give them 7 points in the poll. But I don't think anybody knows what the real turnout D/R skew will be this year.

"Unskewed" says it uses the "makeup of the population" data to deskew the polls. Yet, 7% more dems voted than Repubs in the last election. So "Unskewed" could be way off if this was the last election, depending on the "makeup" numbers back then.

Of course what really matters are the electoral votes from the battleground states.

So they show Romney +7.8. Maybe that means Romney +0.8, or somewhere in between.

How Carter Beat Reagan

Posted By Dave Snope
Good article, thanks.

The press have given this country a steady diet of leftist bias since. Then during the last election they added openly swooning for the Democrat. Shameless.

"Harvest" Companies For Profit!!!

Posted By Dave Snope
You're ignorance is apparently limitless. the word "harvest" is a common, everyday business term that carries no moral implications. It's used by accountants, lawyers, the financial sector, investors, businesspeople, retirement planners...

Without the concept of "harvest", there would be no reason for anybody to invest in business, an no reason for most people to build a business (except for a GLO). And therefore no reason to create jobs, create products, and create wealth.

Or is that what you want?

Honestly Rod, you come accross like a guy whe shouts "aha, racism!" after hearing an astrophysicist say 'black hole' for the first time. That's how dumb it is to complain about the word "harvest".

It Can't be True!

Posted By Dave Snope
I've gotta give credit where credit is due: at least we're looking at a temperature proxy here. That's more meaningful than ice.

It gets old talking about arctic sea-ice extent at any one instant in time as if it's the climate indicator when there are a half-dozen different things that affect it. When it's continuously below freezing and people are yelling "OMG the ice is melting!" it makes me have to keep reminding people to look at a thermometer.

"Capitalism Doesn't Work"

Posted By Dave Snope
America elected a radical crypto-socialist class warrior. Here's another one, where he justifies feelings of violence against the rich. This is really evil stuff:

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but rich people are all for nonviolence. Why wouldn’t they be? They’ve got what they want. They want to make sure people don’t take their stuff...

When a company town sees its plant closing because some distant executives made some decision despite the wage concessions, despite the tax breaks, and they see their entire economy collapsing, they feel violence

Now that's is what we call an ...

Posted By Dave Snope
I don't think it was a a big deal. I think that your average undecided person that isn't a big political person will see much of a difference between the candidates. Yeah I think Obama was full of lies and Mitt kicked his ass on substance and reality and truth, but I don't believe an average independant person would see a big difference in presidential ability between the two.
