I say lean yes. It's mostly just "Democrat/Democrat vs. Republican/Republican" and "x person 2016" and "...and now x Republican said y stupid thing" threads, without much factual information going around.


X Republican saying Y stupid thing is factual, and its almost on a daily basis.....


With that being said, its simply too early to have any real in depth discussion on 2016 and it likely will be mostly fluff until after the Midterms.

Sadly, I can't.  I can glide from one side of the pool to the other, but I have to stay at 4 ft depth.  My pastor cousin has a pool in his backyard, and i get in there about twice a year and just lounge around.  I can't really do a whole lot, because I'm sharing the pool with at least 9 kids, sometimes 12 kids plus 6 or 7 adults.  So, it gets crowded and I'm usually trying to watch and play with the younger kids in the shallow end who can't venture into the deep end, yet.

The pool is not shaded real well so I usually come out there looking like a lobster despite my best sunscreen efforts.

Might be something you should try and take up.  Swimming is excellent exercise.

I hope this bit of whether it matters whether the perps where of the Left or Right, non political, Christian, Muslim or atheist, or none of the above, is out of everyone's system. There are nutters out there from all stripes, and to make something out of what the nutter(s) believed as opposed to what was done, simply serves no useful purpose that I can think of.

And I say nutter deliberately. No cause can be furthered by this sort of act. It can only be hurt. Most of the planet recoils from the slaughter of the totally innocent. It requires a psychotic mind to go where the perp(s) went here.

While I agree with the spirit of the post, I'd have to disagree with a minor element.  It is instructive as a preventative tool to study the motivations and methodology of the people who carry out these type of attacks.  Of course, the identifiers of the attackers can be twisted into grotesque bigotry or over rationalization of the merits of the motivations of said attackers but hey opinions are like a$sholes.


Agreed, when it comes down to it we do need to know the reasons this type of crap happens and the motivation that is behind it.  That doesn't mean we have to give credence to the views or reasons that led to this attack or any other attack, but it is important to understand the root causes.  It doesn't even have to be super detailed or indepth, but more than "they hate us for our freedoms" which is something we heard often in the aftermath of 9/11 and the onset of the war in Iraq.

He wouldn't have a chance against Hillary, and wouldn't fare much better against Cuomo.  With other Dems, he would be competitive, but the GOP ceiling in the state really isn't high enough in a Presidential race for anyone at this point.  To top that off, he likely would need to shift rightward to win a Primary, and that hurt him big time.

Yes, my form is nowhere near what they would teach, but I am decent swimmer, and can swim pretty fast.  Have to wear goggles when I swim since I wear contacts.

Trended hard Dem during the 90's, peaked in 2000 and has shifted a little GOP since.  However, the county is basically where it was during the mid 90's.

so what was so great about Gore in 2000? A mealy mouthed southerner suddenly won the hearts and minds of Jewish retirees?

The Lieberman factor perhaps as traininthedistance mentioned also the 9/11 factor.  If you look at Long Island and portions of Jersey, they trended rather hard Dem during the 90's maxing out in 2000, and shifted a bit Republican in 2004 (though still considerably more Democratic than they were prior to the shift).

So the areas where many of these voters moved from saw a similar movement it just might be more visible in Palm Beach County due to the older voters.
50  General Politics / U.S. General Discussion / Re: Rob Portman becomes only GOP Senator to endorse gay marriage. on: March 19, 2013, 10:44:26 pm
Is there any evidence that rich Republicans support gay marriage any more than other members of the party? I'm doubtful. These exclusive types are just that. Exclusive.
In NC for Amendment 1, the Amendment failed in a lot of the wealthy conservative Charlotte and Raleigh suburbs. Similarly, gay marriage outran Obama in a lot of the DC and Baltimore suburbs.

True, but part of that is certainly due to the fact you have a very heavy northern transplant population in suburban Charlotte and Raleigh. (Containment Area for Relocated Yankees)

That is a good point--but these people are reliable Republicans all the same in their new homes.

Not nearly as Republican a your typical southern suburban Republican.  Also I would say many of them ten to be mixed politically.  Cary for example is pretty much marginal.
