  1. Thats an interesting Obama quote....Very telling, huh?
  2. I didnt get any farther than the Tea Party is Far Right Umbertino, you dont know squadouche about American Politics buddy. And the NYTimes is blatantly keeping their heads in the mud, to re-elect the Far Left googan in the Whitehouse. Almost the entire Demo Eelected Party is Far Left Liberal...40% of their supporters are also Socialist, Communist, Marxist, Wall Streeters...These are the dregs of any society....While the remaining 60% of demo's havent got a clue they've been taken over by the Commies.
  3. I dont need a prediction from Barone to refute Nate.... But, Barone can see the numbers the same as I can, also re-read post 29....Theres another prediction on the outcome, those Professors have been correct since Nate was 2 years old. As I said, I dont need Barone to show Nate is wrong, he does that himself, in his analysis....Did you read it?....I did.
  4. Well, I've proven very clearly that Nate's predictions are wrong due to faulty data....Figures do not lie, but liars do figure.... Nates numbers come from faulty polls...So, Garbage in, Garbage out. Well see who's right on Tuesday
  5. I think there are going to be some massive cuts to some of these Depts Wally...At least thats my hope.... Anyway, it must be done. Last I heard, the EPA was up to a 4.5 billion dollar budget....The Dept of Ed Spends 30% on Administration, 20% on interest, and 20% on welfare other than Education....Leaving 30% of their budget for the Kids.....Obviously a massive waste. There are ways to cut without touching our Military or Seniors.
  6. Cutting spending is essential obviously...There are some ways to do this without touching Social Sec, Medicare, or the Military.... Except in the case of fraud or waste....Which happens in every agency.... Here's a good article from Forbes that covers this problem....Including removing Big Bird & PBS from the Welfare rolls. Now's the Time to Start Cutting Wasteful Government Programs OP/ED | 1/16/2012 Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) is a rarity on Capitol Hill, a scourge of the wasteful foolishness which emanates from the Potomac. In his view “perhaps there was no bigger waste of the taxpayers’ money in 2011 than Congress itself.” Lots of people talk about “waste,” but few do anything about it. Sen. Coburn identified 100 really dumb projects and collected them in the “2011 Wastebook: A Guide to Some of the Most Wasteful and Low Priority Government Spending of 2011.” It is a great place to start cutting unnecessary government. Number one is obvious with the approach of another presidential election. As of November Presidential Election Campaign Fund contained $35.38 million. What could be dumber than forcing the American people to pay for the campaigns and conventions of the very politicians who created today’s mess? At least President Barack Obama is helping to destroy the system by eschewing public funding. The 99 other examples of waste? The U.S. Agency for International Development (U.S. AID) spent $30 million to spur mango production and sales in Pakistan—and failed utterly. The Air Force spent $14 million to switch three radar stations to wind power; poor planning forced cancellation of one turbine and consideration of the same for the other two. The Federal Aviation Administration devoted $6 million to subsidize air service at small, underused airports. A federal grant for $765,828 went to—I am not making this up, to quote Dave Barry—bring an International House of Pancakes franchise to Washington, D.C. Although the famed “Bridge to Nowhere” might never be built, Uncle Sam still shelled out $15.3 million in project costs, including a 14-minute promotional video, on top of $50 million already absorbed by the Knik Arm Bridge. The Office of Personnel Management sent $120 million to dead federal employees (actually, they probably did less harm than the live ones!). The Department of Transportation spent $529.689 to create the fourth visitor center around the 54 mile Talimena Scenic Drive between Oklahoma and Arkansas. A check for $113,277 was cut to help the International Center for the History of Electronic Games to preserve “historic” video games. Washington helpfully gave almost $18 million in foreign aid to China—money effectively borrowed from China. The Department for Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provided a $484,000 grant to build a “Mellow Mushroom Pizza Bakers” restaurant in Texas. Uncle Sam sent $100,000 to the Washington State Fruit Commission to stage a “celebrity chef fruit promotion road show” in Indonesia. U.S. AID gave $10 million to an arts organization in Pakistan—a country threatened with disintegration—to produce local episodes of Sesame Street. Then there was $150,000 for the American Museum of Magic in Marshall, Michigan. Another HUD grant, this one for $1 million, went to a foreign architectural firm to move its headquarters from Santa Monica to Los Angeles. The federal government cut a check for $550,000 to underwrite a documentary on the impact of rock and roll on the collapse of communism. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) provided a $702,558 grant for the study of the impact of televisions and gas generators on villages in Vietnam. Hawaii’s annual Chocolate Festival collected $48,700 from Washington. People who didn’t own homes, such as children and prisoners, claimed as much as a billion dollars in tax credits for promoting energy efficiency in their homes. The Department of Commerce gave $936,818 to create a web TV soap opera on single moms to spur adoption of broadband.

  7. Yep, he's got all the power of the Office till Jan 20... Hopefully he'll only use that time to take vacations on tax payer dollars. But, I dont think so.....These people have a habit of doing things to destroy America in the dark of the night. Im anticipating one petulant outrage after another...Certainly things he wouldnt do prior to the Elections.
  8. Well, its a sad state of affairs when even Stevie cant sell Obama votes
  9. Thanks Nate is pretty funny...Even if he has no clue about the Elections.
  10. I agree....Term limits seem like a good idea As far as the retiring Justices, Im just relating what I heard. I believe they are Ginsberg, Kennedy, & Scalia....And maybe Breyer (all in their mid to late 70's)
  11. Maybe you guys missed this one...These two have gotten it right since Nate was 2 years old. ELECTORAL COLLEGE MODEL PREDICTS ROMNEY WILL WIN EVEN BIGGER THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT IN 2012 Posted on October 8, 2012 at 8:57am by Billy Hallowell In August, TheBlaze told you about University of Colorado Professors Ken Bickers and Michael Berry and their highly-accurate Electoral College prediction model. As you may recall, Bickers and Berry, using their metrics, are able to retroactively predict every presidential win since 1980. Their 2012 model made headlines two months ago because, despite polling, it found that Republican presidential candidate Romney would win 320 Electoral Votes, stealing the White House away from President Barack Obama. Now, an updated version of their study has come to the same conclusion — but it intensifies the numbers behind a predicted Romney win. Despite the fact that polls still show a dead-heat race (Obama is currently at 48.2 percent, with Romney capturing 47.3 percent of likely voters in the most recent Real Clear Politics average), an updated election model shows an even larger gap between the Electoral College votes that Romney and Obama are projected to win. According to Bickers and Berry, the Republican challenger is projected to take 330 of the 558 votes, while Obama is expected to capture only 208 of them. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/electoral-college-model-predicts-romney-will-win-even-bigger-than-previously-thought-in-2012/ Did you like that one?...Here's a little update... CU professors double-down on prediction of Romney win due to economic factors By TIM HOOVER The Denver Post Posted October 5, 2012, 12:38 pm MT TOPICS Barack Obama, Kenneth Bickers, Michael Barry, Mitt Romney, University of Colorado Remember the University of Colorado professors who predicted Mitt Romney would win the election because of economic factors – despite national pollsters predicting President Barack Obama well ahead? Well, political science professors Kenneth Bickers of CU-Boulder and Michael Berry of CU Denver have updated their model and say the new data still shows a Romney win. According to the updated analysis, Romney would get 330 Electoral College votes to Obama’s 208 votes, even less than the 218 the pair predicted during the summer and still well short of the 270 needed to win. Again, it’s a huge disconnect from national punditry which still shows an easy Obama victory (though experts say new polling will have to gauge the effect of Romney’s success during Wednesday’s debate). “We continue to show that the economic conditions favor Romney even though many polls show the president in the lead,” Bickers said. “Other published models point to the same result, but they looked at the national popular vote, while we stress state-level economic data.” The pair’s analysis relies on state and national unemployment figures and changes in real per capita income, among other factors. Their updated analysis includes unemployment rates from August instead of May, and has changes in per capita income from the end of June rather than March. The duo predicts Romney winning all but three of 13 battleground states. http://blogs.denverpost.com/thespot/2012/10/05/cu-professors-doubledown-prediction-romney-win-due-economic-factors/83220/
  12. Where's your link to Nate Silver?....Nevermind, got it.....A 30 something statistician that managed to forecast the 2008 Election, Big deal.... also, career development for Major league Baseball players...Well, I can see he's putting his skill to good use.... Here's the problem, Nate....Im just gonna call him Nate....Nate uses polls for his averages...He does mention oversampling of demo's, but writes that off as 'this sort of thing happens on both sides' so it doesnt really figure into Nate's analysis.....Except to the degree that good ole Nate uses both sides over sampling, so they effectively cancel each other.... Very dumb Nate, Almost every (fake) poll shows a dramatic increase in demo's....At or above 2008 levels, when many Republicans stayed home in protest....This year (2012) has Larger numbers of Republicans (than demo's) registered to vote... Not only that, but the Independent vote is 16 points in favor for Romney....Yep, with 34% demo, 35% Republican and 28% Independent...Nate's numbers might be a little off. Oh yeah, you didnt think that was important, did ya Nate ole buddy...Well, its absolutely crucial.... Stats derived from faulty polls will result in faulty stats.....C'mon Nate....Even a guy that was a writer for the Daily kos knows that.....Unless of course, they, like most other disingenuous (lying) polsters had an Agenda....An agenda to effect the outcome of an Election... So, Nate (the liar) maybe you should go back to your Baseball schtick...Im sure you'll have better luck at that after the Elections show how wrong you are. Do you?....Sorry, I was just a little busy tonight....Btw, a 30 sec search turned up everything I need to know about Nate.
  13. All of the House is up for grabs, so vote accordingly Lots of Senate seats in play too....As for the Supreme Court, I believe 3 judges are retiring soon....Its imperative we get a Conservative Congress, they are the ones that will approve any nominations from Romney.
  14. Im glad you've moderated your responses, but it doesnt change how we both think....I've seen that tactic before, it makes things more pleasant, but I cant be moved from my beliefs....That goes for being bi-partisan......I have zero interest in that, unless its the Libs agreeing with the Conservatives.
  15. Yeah....That is bothersome and backwards The times they are changing though. Its a worn out excuse.
  16. Cant wait ....Its way past time to evict the current imposter
  17. Some will, most will probably protest by staying home since no other issue on their ballot matters Im working on a friend right now....He's convinced to vote conservative the whole ballot, except for Prez....but he's wavering....I'm hoping to have him in the Romney column soon.....He's from Wisconsin, and I need that State to break Republican this year....I've got some money on it....so
  18. Big time scam Mr Leon... The idea is to deposit your Dinar with these people, They can then walk away & sell it for around $950 per million. Your friend gets nothing, but ripped off.
  19. Looks like Barone is right But, Im putting Nevada in Romney's corner...Maybe Oregon too Yep....I liked your line 'People used Google, & saw the truth' Its that easy, & amazing the Libs dont get it.....Everything they say is almost immediately available. Then they have to try to back-pedal.
  20. Wow....What a surprise, 'O'blah is surrounded by racists His Father, Barack Sr....His mentor, Frank Marshal Davis.... His Preacher, Rev Wright....His choice for benediction, Rev Lowery.... His wife, Moochelle.... But O'blah is not a racist....No, no, no
  21. I was agreeing with his statement regarding O'blah. I have no beef with Christie....He's right there doing whats needed for the folks in New Jersey.
  22. You're right sxsess....Mr Photo-op then back to the campaign. Living large, using taxpayer money. I just think its great, O'blah is going to eliminate redtape & bureaucracy for the time being to help everyone....After the 'crises' were going back to the same old road blocks to efficiency.....
  23. You're full of it , and have been proven wrong repeatedly. No sense in rehashing all the ways.....You're simply wrong. This latest assault on the voters by Libs is pitiful....Its the same old story, it doesnt matter, why not vote for a democrat. Hopey-Changey Forward!!.....Just lame.
