....and on the sixth day, Obama created millions of new jobs.
Some of them were very humble jobs, but jobs just the same. So these humble just, or hum-jobs, are the work of our lord president Obama

a) Romney sucks as a candidate, and got his ass handed to him in almost every fight he didn't massively outspend someone. Both in 2008 and 2012.
b) The polls currently show a tie, which is bad news because weak incumbents usually get stronger as election day approaches.
c) He has utterly failed to exploit the shit economy and has decided to fight the election on the terms most desired by his opponent. He utterly has failed to mobilize the white working class base.
If Romney goes on to win, fine, I was completely wrong and should not have been writing this. But don't be surprised if he doesn't.

Posted by: fluffy, memo misser at August 22, 2012 07:04 PM (z9HTb)
Rottencroch and Gipper and others of their ilk
Clinton did create more jobs than Reagan. Then again he didn't have to climb out of the hole Reagan did. Nor did Reagan have easy money policies. On the contrary. His were tight to fight inflation. Globalization and the peace dividend that Reagan earned for us allowed lower interest rates and spending in the 90s.
Clinton did raise taxes in 1993 but lowered them in 1997. Easy money did fuel the dot com bubble, that created jobs but you could say the same about W and the housing bubble. Neither were real.
What was real and what caused the increase in the number of jobs under Clinton was the reduction in the % Federal govert to GDP. Clinton lowered the government as a % of GDP: from 22.2 to 18.4. Smaller government more jobs. Just ask a smartliberal if you can find one
We're headed in the wrong direction.

No.
Romney's entire strategy was to keep this race close until after the convention when he was free to actually start spending money. The entire free world knows the economy sucks, that we are teetering on the precipice of not just another recession but a complete collapse of our economy and way of life.
The economy and fiscal issues were the ENTIRE focus of this election up until ball brAkin decided to go full retard and give the Dems a wedge issue to beat us with, something to distract not just the campaign but put a pall over the RNC.
It was stupid and demonstrates an extreme lack of political wisdom and basic fucking common sense. That's on him and nobody else.
Romney is doing great in the polls against an incumbent who has better protection from the msm than the Pope does from his Swiss guards. The race is at worst a push or has Romney with a slight lead.
And now this dickhead nobody from MO wants to start talking about magic uteruses. Genius.

Right, Ace chose Perry over Romney and Romney over the others. Both
Perry and Romney were/are god awful candidates, and he owes us an
apology if his shilling for them contributed to the loss of an election
that the GOP has absolutely no excuse to lose.

Yes, he did chose Perry over Romney then Romney over the others, as did I. Plain and simple, Perry and Romney were probably the only GOP candidates that entered the race that could beat Obama this year. Neither was my ideal candidate, but I haven't had an ideal choice since I started voting in presidential elections back in '88. Perhaps you should start to face "Reality."

My younger sis is pretty nonpolitical, socially lib, gay, fiscally
conservative, in her 20's, lives in NYC. Works in the arts and is part
of a union. Usually I am the one twisting her arm to talk about
politics. Well, for the last two months SHE has been the one leading our
phone convos, asking me the political//financial news of the day (I
usually link her plenty of articles from you guys, of course, and
started up a political tumblr just so I could drop her things to read in
one place.)
Yesterday we were chatting about Obama's blatant lies, like the
Romney-is-a-felon-but-i-didnt-call-him-that-swearsies thing, and she was
like "He is such a dick. How did all our friends get brainwashed by
him? Seriously?" I grinned like a fool, incredibly proud of her. I
worried with her moving to the city that she'd turn into a giant lib,
but if anything living/working in the city is making her a raging
libertarian. She is chomping at the bit to vote for Romney/Ryan. She
might be union, but she realizes that the group she works for depend
heavily on rich and generous donors; with the economy those donors are
being not so generous. Is worried about the cutbacks their budgets have
had, the quality of art they can do next season, and her job. Not all
the younguns have their heads in the sand, just though I'd pass that
good news along.

As a technical matter it's trivially easy-- just sign up on blogspot.
The details of it are a little more difficult: You have to write a lot, and your writing has to seem much more right than wrong to a lot of people, at least most of the time.
I know that True Conservatives such as yourself think you have some sort of ownership interest in my business, my beliefs, my mind, and my own political philosophy, and would like to "nationalize" this blog, so to speak, so that you can use my platform to forward your agenda; but oddly enough many not-so-true conservatives disagree with this, and think that a man has a natural right to these things.
So Godspeed to you.

Really?
I mean so me a favor and tell me who the GOP is gonna run that gets gangbanged by 3/4ths of the Media Palace Guard and do better?
Mitt is so far inside Bark's OODA loop unless a catastrophic event like Akin happens he is controlling Obama's narrative.
The ONLY better candidate is maybe Ryan, but he's too young for the top....
I love it....
Do you not grasp that the media has allowed BAM! to deal with them less than half the number of times Bush did and narry a goddamned peep 'til this month?

The model uses economic indicators from all 50 states to predict the race’s outcome. The forecast calls for Romney to win 320 electoral votes out of 538. It says Romney will also win virtually every state currently considered a swing state, including Colorado.
The professors who created the model, Ken Bickers from CU-Boulder and Michael Berry from CU-Denver, say it correctly forecast every winner of the electoral since 1980.

Two University of Colorado professors have devised a model to predict who will win the presidential election under current economic circumstances. The victor, they say, will be Republican Mitt Romney.
Both of whom were then exiled from the People's Republic of Boulder amid death threats, TP on their trees, and deep gouges on their Subarus.

The real reason is that a woman is only fertile 4 days a month and rape is (typically) a one time sexual encounter. Add in the fact that rape itself is rare, and you come up with very small numbers.
All of which is meaningless because the frequency of a situation doesnt determine its ethical status, but it gives an idea of where his "logic".went so very, very wrong.

Yea, I saw that.
Romney is not losing this race. He's actually in a historically strong position. The race is essentially tied and Obama has been unable to break the mid-40s in either Gallup, traditionally a pro-Dem poll by 2-4 point, and ahead in Rasmussen by 2-4 for the last few weeks. This despite Obama throwing everything including the kitchen sink and toilet at him in attempt to kill him before Labor Day when the race begins in earnest. In short, there is nothing that will happen outside an enormous Black Swan that is going to break in Obama's favor between now and Nov. 6.
Romney has a huge war chest that is getting bigger every day. He has the momentum (or at least had it before the Pussy Riot) and the environment is only going to be more in his favor. The economic reports over the last three months combined with today's CBO report make it clear that we will have +8% unemployment until at least the end of the year and are at serious risk of a double dip ( yea, I know ).
Romney gets to start advertising after the RNC and if the race at Labor Day the race is even, Romney's leavin.

So who would like some good news about the odds of us taking the Senate? Warning #math ahead.
I took CAC numbers from last night and dug up my old statistics book to figure out what the real odds of winning at least a net 4 seats are.
With 32 seats up for grabs, there are currently 23 of them held by Dems and 9 held by the GOP. Assuming that the "safe" seats are truly safe, meaning 0% chance of the expected winning party losing that seat, we have 2 vulnerable seats, while the Dems have 11. We currently hold 47 seats in the Senate. We need to win at least 3 seats for a tie and 4 seats for an outright majority.
Using CAC's odds of winning each seat (including Missouri, which is still possible for us to win, despite this idiot), we have the following odds (notice that I am taking Nebraska off the table, and putting that in with our certain to win pile).
Wisconsin - 99%
Montana - 90%
Massachusetts - 90%
North Dakota - 75%
Virginia - 60%
Florida - 50%
Ohio - 35%
New Mexico - 35%
Missouri - 10%
Michigan - 10%
Maine - 10%
Hawaii - 10%
Connecticut - 10%
That is 13 races that are at least somewhat competitive. We hold only 2 of these seats, and we already picked up 1 seat from Nebraska, so we need to win 4 of these races to guarantee at least a tie in the Senate. Note that if we win MA or ME then we need only 2 other wins to tie the Senate, the 4 used above is to account for the possibility of losing both. It makes the math a little easier.
Going back to the odds given by CAC, we have an average probability of winning each of these seats of 44.9%
So what are the odds of winning at least 4 of the seats? To get that, we use multiple copies of the following binomial formula:
Probability = #choices * (Prob of success ^ number of successes) * ((1 - Prob of success) ^ (total races - number of successes))
#choices = (total races)! / (number of successes)! * (total races - number of successes)!
We then calculate the odds of each possible outcome of number of wins. What are the odds we win 0 races (.04%), 1 race (.45%), and so on, until we get to the odds of winning all 13 (3.03 E-05). The total of all 14 possibilities adds up to 1 (100%).
Having done that, then the odds of winning at least 4 races is the total of all probabilities above the threshold of 4. So the odds of winning 4, plus odds of winning 5, etc.
The probability of winning 4 or more races of the 13 contested, given the above CAC odds?
90.61%
The probability of winning 3 or more races (gives us a feel of our chances if we hold MA)?
97.28%

well, someone posted last night a supposed medical journal citation (from maybe 1972?) that had been appropriated by the hard-core christian pro-life community...apparently, the article claimed that pregnancy from rape happens with ca. 5% frequency, and pregnancy from consensual sex with ca. 8%, attempting to control for other factors.
it jives with everything we know about the stress response's detrimental effects on foetal viability that pregnancies from rape fertilisations would be less ultimately successful than those from consensual unions, but either way, it's still CLEAR from that article that rape-pregnancies CAN AND DO certainly occur.
i don't know anything about the issue whatasoever, but the commenter last night claimed that the hard-right fringe of the pro-life community had apparently adopted this research as proof that the uterus has some defence mechanism against rape-sperm...the commenter CLAIMED that it was a fairly common belief among some of the pro-life set.
with what i know about MANY (certainly not all) christians' propensity to invent proprietary interpretations of the science to better jive with their out-dated weltanshauunugen, i wouldn't be terribly surprised if it were true.
dejected, perhaps, but not terribly surprised. remember, we're talking about a group of people who is absolutely convinced that radiocarbon dating is a satanic false prophecy and the earth is absolutely no older than 6000 years...not that the bible says so, but their INTERPRETATION says so.
it's really not a stretch to consider that they have interpreted the results of research showing reduced viability for rape pregnancies as "proof" that the uterus has some physiological anti-rape mechanism, and therefore they are fully justified in their "no-rape-exception" approach to pro-life politics.
(n.b.: before the science-friendly christians here get their panties in a bunch and start attacking me in that christlike manner to which they have shown themselves so well-attuned, it should be noted that i am talking about a very small subset of intentionally, wilfully ignorant science-deniers, not mainstream christians or, for that matter, mainstream pro-lifers, among which group i count myself!)

And that's really the point. No one wants to listen to people bitch and moan about not liking Romney because he's going to be the candidate. All we can do now is hope he means what he says on the campaign trail, that it resonates with America, and that we can win in November so we can start down the long road of attempting to fix what's wrong with this country.
It's also up to us to hold Romney to his promises if he does win and to provide him with the most conservative Congress possible. I don't really know who you think would be doing a better job campaign wise either.

I've watched Ras's results for a lot of election cycles now, and he always gets a Dem surge on weekends, which disappears once they roll off his 3 day average. This is why he won't poll over the final weekend.
His Thursday poll is usually the best, although last week he got a huge Dem outlier on Thursday.

My spouse sees a large number of clients who (as Morons with whom I've discussed this in person know) are varying degrees of left and lefter, as they hail primarily from the Transgender community.
To a MAN (and I use that term advisedly), those who were staunch Obama acolytes have flipped, in some cases violently, from being rabidly pro-O to being just as rabidly the opposite. We're talking about 12 or 14 individuals from all walks of life and professions, in a deep blue State. So this is not an isolated or uninteresting phenomenon, IMHO.
Also: there are "Linda" (McMahon) signs all up and down our block that I didn't see two years ago, and even one "OMG" (Obama Must Go!, from dumpyourincumbent.com) lawn sign prominently displayed. Ballsy.
Stay frosty, morons. It looks like 1980... or maybe even 1984 may not be out of reach.

Akins makes his fuck up (granted this was not part of the plan..) Then a call to the RNC "Prince" . What if this was coordinated from the get go as a response to the shit in Tampa and a severe overreach by the Dems? You know - "Once the eggs are broken, lets see if we can smear them on the Dems face" kinda thing.
I know this is a streach but, Rush's response was SOOOO measured and planned. He has blatantly told Akins to leave but, still is encouraging to stay? His calls from MO were heavily Screened to present him as a viable cannidate and to answer questions in the average R voter's head. I think it shored up the vote quite well in MO. I bet the polls come back pretty soon for Akin.
Akin can still win in MO and the rest of the R's can decidedly denounce him and make the issue tiresome for the debates. If it is a dead horse now, it will be a "not this dead horse again" Reaganesque moment in the debates. It also takes a weakness away from Ryan as he was going to be busted on the legislation that they co-sponsored.
Listen.. I am as pro-life as they come and I do stand with principal, but this thing has been awfully smoothly handled. It will blow over with the Hurricane and be a non-issue by next week and it will be a tiresome question in two weeks..

In the case of the Transgender community, I know that one major factor is that it's (slowly) becoming clear that their recent "victories" - in terms of getting certain prescriptions, procedures and surgeries covered by insurance - now have an expiration date, i.e., the day they have to begin relying on ObamaTax to pay for their SRS, hormone treatments, etc. That is to say, the indications are that such things will be considered by the IPAB as "elective", and no longer covered by insurance.

Reagan wasn't the next Reagan. Go look at his actual record not the misty, hazy memories of what you thought he was.
He helped explode the debt.
He signed EMTALA leading to the healthcare shit we are dealing with today.
He screwed the pooch on the middle east.
And lots, lots more.
What he did right was cut taxes and regulations. Thats what got the economy rolling.
I expect Romney can meet that bar.

Why do you feel it so important to mention that, and then to dig in and defend it like it's Monte Cassino or something?
Let's examine the possibilities:
1.) You're an avid Republican upset because the party is nominating Mitt Romney instead of someone who has been dead since 2004. This suggests you're an idiot and/or insane, so we'll disregard it. For now.
2.) You're an avid supporter of some other Republican candidate who failed to get the nomination. Well . . . okay. Your boy, whoever he was, had a shot and didn't make it. Bitching now won't change anything, and makes you seem petty at best and idiotic at worst. Get over it.
3.) You're a Paulbot. 'Nuff said.
4.) You aren't a Republican at all. This is the best fit for the facts, as it explains why you're bitching about a candidate who has locked up the nomination and who is making a startlingly good showing as the campaign heats up. A Democrat trying to dampen our morale would say exactly the same shit you are.
So, you tell us: are you a petty, vindictive fool, or are you a consciously dishonest piece of shit?

You're going to wear Akin up your ass; I hope for the next 12 years. But right up your ass is where he's going to be, because you can't get past the national pep rally. This nation is not a bandwagon, I'm not on it with you, and if you cram enough shit down people's throats they will just turn away from you, and Obama's victory will not be their fault, but yours.
You want unwavering devotion to your party, go clean up the pigsty.
I don't have much against Romney, but your attitude reminds me of everything that's wrong with traditional politics. There are other candidates, and I'm not sure I want to stand in the Big Winning Tent with you. Let me think about it while you work on your delivery, Professor.

But let us assume for a moment that she gets pregnant. Are we going to execute her baby? How about executing the Daddy? How about telling mommy that she put herself in harms way . How bout the fact that so many rapes are “buyer remorse” ? Let us stop the slaughter of little babies— 4300 per day are murdered in our country!! Did you know that? Do you care?

If Tokarev (the man) borrowed anything from Browning (and he did), then it was borrowed from the Browning 1903 design, not the 1911. And Tokarev incorporated more than a few minor changes. The modular hammer/sear assembly was innovative for its time and wasn't a Browning design. I own the Polish TTC and the Yugoslavian M57 versions myself, and have considerable experience with the 1911 platform. The designs are distinct, each with its own strengths and weaknesses.
The Soviets were big on borrowing aspects of a design that worked--the Makarov, for example, has a great many Walther attributes--largely because the Russians seized the Walther factories as they advanced to Berlin--but a Makarov is still a Makarov. It's its own thing.
Comes to that, most modern semi-automatic pistols (and machineguns et al) are the grandchildren of Browning's ideas. He was to guns what Da Vinci was to painting.
