The Deluge of Absurdity, Ignorance, and Bad Posts

Poll on whether one supports the temp banning of Keystone Phil:

Oppose, why was he banned?

I still like you, Julio.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Regarding Duval Freaking County...

Obama easily.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

I don't even:

Romney has a lot of money and it looks like he'll end up with a lot of money left over after November 6th. Why not make a 20 million ad buy in California? If he could win California, that could offset losses in Ohio, Florida and Virginia

Texans get exactly the kind of government they deserve. They are only Texans, after all. They wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

^^^This. Texans (or at least the conservative mental midget types) don't deserve any government. They can live in the Stone Age and die in poverty for all I care.

Anything that guy posts is trolling, yet he says everybody else with a blue or green avatar is trolling.  Too much irony.

All these Politico threads are giving me pneumonia.

The truth hurts?

I have started, what, three threads in the past two weeks?

I follow the terms of service. If you do not like dissent, perhaps Democratic Underground would be a more suitable environment for you?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

The first part is not absurd per se but once he gives examples you can probably see the big issue:

Romney is a nerd, but so what? He'll get the job done right, unlike the current office holder...

Plus, Obama really isn't that cool. He's a 50 yr old college professor-type. Clinton and GWB got coolness on both Obama and Romney.

People like you are part of the reason why we've been losing the South. Look at Arkansas; they still have New Deal infrastructure in place and are solidly Democratic at a local and state level. Though some of the blame lies on some Blue Dogs being crybabies, some of it does lie on the rise of the DLC and the Democratic Party's abandonment of its history from 1832 to 1980 as the party of the working man to instead be the party of yuppies and women.

A liberal majority combined with the way they tend to stereotype things.

Empty quoting is good for the forum. Continue.

Certain catastrophically awful ideas never really do go away...

My big problem with the South is not past racism but past treason, and the fact Southerners idealize such treason, boast about it, and have made an integral part of their entity. What the South needs is a German-style attitude towards the Civil War, and I used to think I'd wish that on no one.

For example, the Confederate Battle Flag is a treasonous symbol, and ideally it would be treated much like the NSDAP flag is treated in Germany.

I am so done with this guy

High tech drones which have killed tons of innocent individuals, including targets wrongly accused, also including at least one American citizen.

Your point?

I didn't suggest he couldn't or shouldn't say it......the freedom to say stupid sh**t is firmly entrenched in our constitution.

[Lief 🗽]

wow:

There were some questions if Obama was a covert agent for the CIA after college

[Donerail]

Per request, and since the Mondale84 posts are clogging up the main Deluge/Ore Mine/Institute.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

Excellent thread idea + title

[Donerail]

Examples of what goes here:

High tech drones which have killed tons of innocent individuals, including targets wrongly accused, also including at least one American citizen.

I figure SurveyUSA's polls are typically about 7 points off from the rest. Obama's doing about as well as he did last time.

I agree. But I just add a standard 5 points to Obama's margin in every SUSA poll, 7 in every Rassy poll, 2-4 in every PPP poll, and usually about 8-10 in all Republican internals.

It's way too early to say that. If the situation is like this on October 11, than it will be different.

Obama will probably have a 15-point lead by then, so yes it's too early to tell how big Obama's mandate will be.

Surprised that Obama underperformed.

Well, that depends on how polling stands on election day.
As of now, I certainly wouldn't call this "underperforming."

It certainly is with the current map:

The only issue being that's not the current map.

Well yes, I know that I'm being a little optimistic for the GOP, but the current polling certainly wouldn't exclude a map in this ballpark.

Anywhere he says "Obama easily." for random conservative counties, or Mikado's sig.

This thread is a waste of space, much like the main Deluge/Ore Mine. But even more of a waste of space because it's dedicated to a single person.

Instead of making useless threads, I recommend the usage of the block function - of which this specific case is the only one that motivates me to use it. Because that's what it's for.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

I always press "show," though. I just can't help it.

The thing is, I honestly think mondale is objectively worse than Politico. There must be a mechanism to remove people like him from the forum.

As long as the Deluge/Ore Mine continues to exist, Mondale's posts shall continue to go there. It's a space-saving mechanism so the Deluge can be used for more out-of-the-ordinary absurdity/ignorance.

Excellent. Simply excellent.

Er, that is to say I agree, not that the response belongs here.

He did say it was a positive. I'd take it as a positive.
