What's wrong with that?  Some atheists might be mentally ill, but if they are, then I doubt it's because they're atheists.

I don't know much of any place in America where being black isn't OK.

The truth hurts sometimes, doesn't it?  America may have a few racist loons here and there, but by and large, racial and ethnic minorities have a much better life here than in many other countries.  If you were a Hazara in Afghanistan or a Uyghur in China, you would know that I'm telling the truth.

That's a pretty low bar.

Yeah.  Gay and Muslim is the new black, don't 'cha know.

How on Earth did this happen?

Then again, it's PPP, so take it with a grain of salt.

Oldiesfreak on Pat McCrory's fall from grace.

It's a simple fact that PPP grossly overstates Democrat numbers early on.  I saw it in 2012 when they had polls putting Obama ahead at or near double digits in states where most other polls had him ahead by (at most) 2 or 3 points.  Not to mention that even Nate Silver, whose analysis you guys take as virtually gospel, has joined a number of others in criticizing their methodology (along with Rasmussen, of course.)

First of all, Democrat is a noun, not an adjective. Have some respect.

Second of all, I was more referring to the fact that you were ignoring his awful approvals, not his matchups. More extreme legislation seems to, you know, piss people off a lot and tank someone's approvals if you're in a remotely purplish state. It happened with Walker, it happened with Corbett, it happened with Kasich, it happened with Snyder, and on the other side Hickenlooper's endangered himself too. Now it's happening with McCrory, and you're sticking in your ears and singing instead of realizing what's happening.

I'm taking the matchups with a grain of salt, but for entirely different reasons as you are. Nobody would have predicted Walker would rebound after the protests in Wisconsin, and only the Krazens and the barfbags of the world would have predicted the 2010 landslide in 2008. Instead of counting the facts that the race is a picture of what would happen if the election were on that day, you just say "OH MY GOD PPP HAS A D NEXT TO IT SO IT MUST BE THE EVIL RACISTCRATS POLLING MACHINE". The polls were all probably like that after Romney wrote off half the nation, but once Obama fumbled the first debate, all those numbers magically went back to earth when Romney stopped crashing and burning. Or does the concept of gravity not exist in Oldiesland?

In conclusion, you are the reason why the Republican Party's best summed up with "I reject my own reality and substitute my own." I'd also like to reiterate that my friend who's been on the Cruz bandwagon since December of last year and hangs out with birthers is more based in reality than you are and that you should wake up before your party dies. At least Krazen and barfbag pretend to be detached to get their kicks.

I'd hate to bump such an old thread, but oldiesfreak is getting freakier than ever.

I hope not.  We need reasonable people like him in Washington, unlike the extreme progressives and Tea Partiers that have a chokehold there now.

HP for being a sore loser. He was well within his rights to contest the election because of how close it was. But he dragged it out for months longer after the resolution just to keep Franken from getting seated.

If anybody was the sore loser in that race, it was Franken, and he stole the election with the help of convicted felons illegally voting for him.

For as much as people treat PolitiFact's ratings as gospel, it's well established that they have a liberal bias.

Yeah, because they always treat Obama favorably.

Just like basic math?

By the way, thanks for saving me the trouble.

Same reason most racial minorities are Democrats: because they've been brainwashed by Dems that the GOP is racist.  Vietnamese-Americans are an exception to this, and I wouldn't be surprised if there are a number of Chinese-Americans, Korean-Americans, or Cambodian-Americans that are Republican.

[Mad Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God]

For MoveOn.org?  So much for PPP being a "good" and "unbiased" pollster.

[Oswald Acted Alone, You Kook]

Yes.  I am prolife and oppose abortion except to save the mother's life.  Allowing abortion in cases of rape and incest sends the message to men that they can use women however they want sexually without consequence.  It essentially is the ultimate objectification of women. 

[Maxwell]

That is a viciously sexist and disgusting post.

[Oswald Acted Alone, You Kook]

Probably vote straight GOP since 1856.

You do realize that the GOP and the Democrats have completely switched on most issues since this time?

That's a cute myth liberals like to tell themselves so that they can forget that Democrats championed racism for 130 years.

Oldies himself didn't say this, but the fact that he posted it in the GPG makes it worthy of here.

[Anti Democrat Democrat Club]

Are you kidding me?  He was a fantastic senator for the people of Minnesota.  Too bad he got an election stolen from him by a far-left, potty-mouthed comedian who said conservatives "are all a bunch of mother***ing, Nazi, a**holes who should drink poison and die."

Christie.  The liberals and Tea Partiers are cooking up this bridge scandal to destroy his reputation and his political career.
