If what I'm saying is unjustified, show me why

I'd rather not waste my time


- all you know how to do is curse at other people whenever your feelings are hurt.

Just responding with name calling when people call me names. Eye for an eye


I just find hackery to be repugnant and worse than the sort of name calling I engaged in.

Have you seen your leftwing posting here? You are a hack if there is one.

You have a history of coming apart at the seems on this forum, cursing at and threatening others.

Again, if someone wants to call me names (like you did), expect name calling in return.

What's funny is that he truly believes in his mind that the conversation went the way he believes it did when the reality quite plainly shows he punked out of the last two bets, actually, both him and spidey eventually only wanted to go $500.

Btw, a direct quote from the thread from little nicky: "Anyone that thinks Reid will win is a loon."

lmao.


First, I really dont think anyone can read through that thread and think that you "showed us", other than you of course. The conversation did go that way.

If he gets his plans through, the Republicans can kiss goodbye one of their major voting blocks. Seniors love their Medicare, so much that a Tea Bagger was heard to remark, "Keep Gub'mint Outta Muh Medicare." Vouchers will just increase costs and funnel money to insurance CEOs - the latter being the whole point of vouchers, of course.

Remember, the terrorism nonsense works on the scared 40 something soccer mom set, but the old folks will vote out the guys who hit their pocketbooks directly.

Something has to be done about medicare as it has around $50trillion or so in unfunded liabilities. Sooner or later there will be massive changes to medicare or massive tax increases. Take your pick.

Americans are screwed no matter which party wins in November.
Fixed for accuracy.

We already saw what the Republicans have to offer and now we're witnessing what the Dems have to offer. Nobody in their right mind should really be ecstatic

Right now, one of the reasons the polls are somewhat stable, is that the real general election campaign will not start until after labor day.

And most people do not start deciding until then.

The economy sucks, the party in power will be hurt significantly.

I agree with that 100%. There needs to be some real changes made to our spending.

Actually both Parties need to be purged of the Old Guard. Until then it will be business as usual which means the wealth will keep on being funneled to the few families that run the country.

You reliably post this Rasmussen crap once or twice a week, no one cares about it Rasmussen Nick.

What are you coffee boy over there or something trying to drive up page clicks? Is that your homepage? What gives?



In all fairness, 10 seconds of searching shows his first Rasmussen post was exactly 15 weeks ago on 04/15 and including this one he has posted a total of 8 threads on rasmussen polls, so not quite twice a week, more once every two weeks.

Try telling that to FDR, his economy sucked too, but the American people took a long time to forget who tanked the economy.

But go ahead GOP, some vaccines need a booster shot, and if the present GOP ever gets back in charge, we can TOTALLY bet the GOP will really tank the economy, so they can become a 1928 version of the same ole Hoover.

What good does it do for a righty tighty to think a few years short term, when it may mean the total end of the conservative cause shortly thereafter?

I wonder if that's really the case at this time.

People seem more engaged in politics now; I'd be surprised if many minds weren't already made up.

But again, the repubs need to put up good candidates. I know in my area taht we're familiar with teh Repub candidate, but that's because of the primary. I don't know if that's the case everywhere else.

Rasmussen has an e-mail notification system that you can sign up for. Nick is probably on their e-mail list, and whenever he sees a poll that strikes him as a talking point for P&N, he starts a thread on it.

To some extent Fern is right and wrong at the same time. On one hand the GOP primary process has advanced possible sure losers in Rand Paul in KY and Angle in Nevada. But like Fern, I don't know about the relative GOP v Dem quality level everywhere.

But maybe we should be asking the longer term question, once a democratic or GOP candidate wins the general election in 2010, they become an active part of a larger party label, and will be judged on which party can bring better governance thereafter.

No matter how bad things get for the Dems, it's still going to come down to the candidates that the Repubs can field. I think that's an unanswered question (or maybe I just don't know enough, or care enough to follow all the various races in all the states).

Fern

I agree 100%. The races in California and Nevada demonstrate this perfectly.

Reid and Boxer are not well liked, but the people running against them have enough negatives to make someone think twice about voting for them.

^ And Boxer is just beyond the pale, the true definition of an out-of-touch liberal, a term that conservatives probably throw out too much but couldn't be more apt for her.

To a certain point Rand Paul is the somewhat the perfect storm case. As ole Randran against and defeated the Mitch McConnell alternative in a long and protracted GOP primary. And in the whole GOP primary, Mitch McConnell's boy did not lay a glove on Rand Paul.

But within a few days of Rand's primary election, the dems proved Rand Paul was a nut, and to this day, ole Rand has lapsed into silence, knowing full well, if he opens his mouth, he will insert his own foot.

Now we can ask, if Rand was such an easily defeated Turkey sure loser, why did not Mitch's hand picked boy destroy Rand in the earlier GOP primary?
