The Simple Truths Silver Mine

[IceSpear]

Love these polls coming out of Colorado, but I don't really buy them. I am not really confident Gardner wins this race.

Same but I'm cautiously optimistic that the voters of Colorado will choose to abort Mark Udall.

You know for folks that think that legalized abortion is equivalent to the Holocaust, you folks sure like to joke about aborting people.

Okay Michelle, time to go back to DC.

Udall not making his stand against security state overreach central to his campaign is one of the worst political decisions of this cycle.

Udall not making his stand against security state overreach central to his campaign is one of the worst political decisions of this cycle.

That doesn't really seem like a winning issue.  Udall should have made the campaign about raising the minimum wage and overturning Citizens United, and maybe brought up abortion around this time in the campaign instead.

guy, if you think I'm being serious then I hate to break it to you but you've been reading all 33,000 of my posts completely wrong and also you're a doofus

Wow. You guys are TOTAL MAX. POLITICAL FREAKS!!! You are making predictions even
for new next POLLS that will come out??? Or i am missing something here?

If she ends up pulling this out, she knows who to thank.

Not counting the purposely obnoxious posts around here (from myself, Lief, etc.), your posts have to be the most useless I have ever read.

They weren't much different during the mid-late 70s

Perhaps my bias comes from the fact that the cheerleaders at my school are the most narcissistic, hive minded, self-centered, attention seeking, self-gratifying pieces of filth I have ever witnessed.

Predicting an election in 4-5 years time in any country is silliness and anybody who says otherwise is a fool, a liar or a domkop. This is even truer in Brazil.

Well, it's over for now. But it'll be a different story in three years when the Taliban is back on the up-and-up.

Already happening.

While living under the brutal regime of bearded, Medieval sadists is a terrible situation for the people of Afghanistan and the rest of the Middle East, I'm not sure what obligates the United States or any other country to prevent it.

The impotent rage born from failure to bed a cheerleader is strong with this one.

It's more offensive that Murkowski is acting like using her likeness in an ad is equivalent to being sexually assaulted (with the "no means no" language) IMO.

But what's really bizarre is how anyone who believes the Bible is literally true in all it says could put any stock on this crap.

You seem to assume that everyone who believes the Bible is literally true has both read the whole Bible and comprehended what they read.

No. Faux concern for the poor (strange how all of a sudden, when the precious automobile is at stake; conservatives are OK with regressive taxation) is a ruse.

Especially in a densely populated state like Massachusetts, the aim should be to render the private automobile as a luxurious non-necessity; not continue to prop up the practice with underhand subsidisation.

The Founding Fathers had radically different views from each other, so it's ultimately a meaningless term.

As one who worked the system to try to save jmfcst, and yes, the only one whom I think played defense for him effectively, he was banned because he wanted to be banned, as he himself said - as a martyr, screw the terms of use in his mind - martyrdom was the thing - a veritable religious experience perhaps. And then has has socked, and socked, and socked. He is not coming back. The end.

Maybe I'm imaging things, but it seems like more women get the whole perennial loser thing going on as of recent than men. Why is that? Martha Coakley, Alex Sink, Wendy Greuel?

Because when a man loses, it's "well, you win some you lose some, they did their best! The environment was just too much for them to overcome. Let's run them five more times like Manan Trivedi and Joe Garcia".

When a woman loses? "OMFG WORST CANDIDATE EVER NEVER RUN AGAIN YOU SUCK"

My parents don't give me access to the alcohol.

My parents don't give me access to the alcohol.

When I was younger, I knew how to find access

Probably cuz your parents weren't always home. Mine are. And if they're not, my dad knows how much beer/alcohol he has left.
