Overnight Open Thread (11-4-2012)
I have very limited bandwidth where I am so tonight's little shindig will mostly DIY.
Here Neo-neocon examines why supposedly conservative writers fell so hard for Obama in 2008 and stayed enamored for so long. It's also a good argument for why we should enjoy speechwriters' work but never trust them politically.
After taking a lot of criticism over his model Nate Silver has made a bet on the outcome of his model. But the public editor at the NYT is not happy about this and had a severe case of the tut-tuts. However Alex Tabarok at Marginal Revolution points out that putting your money where your model is actually results in better predictions. Even the most partisan still don't like losing money or a public wager.
One of the good things about professional baseball is that its open to anyone with the skills regardless of background. The downside is that it's a long hard rad to make it to the show.
Commenter stats will appear tomorrow night.
Tonight's post brought to you by always good advice:
That is all.

The Worse the Education, The Greater the Funding
Posted on November 4, 2012 by The Political Hat
On the ballot this election day in southern Nevada, is a measure by the Clark County School District, which is 5th largest in the nation, to hike property taxes to pay for a $669 Million bond that purports to save crumbling schools and save students from a balmy 100+ °C Summer day.
Of course, the School District claims to be pinching pennies, even though they are willing to toss perfectly good furniture in order to have the snazziest new stuff.
Sadly, this is just an example of the school district spending more and more. In the last 50 years, the district has increased spending by 300%, adjusted for inflation, over the past 50 years, yet over a third of students fail to graduate!
How bad is it? The per pupil spending that is usually touted to demonstrate that the Clark County School District needs more money usually only included their General Fund; the thing is, that is only one of many funds. The Clark County School District has combined total expenditures from all fund for the 2012-2013 school year of $3,190,325,000.

And of course, the one who fell the hardest was Ronald Reagan wordsmith Peg Noonan. All she has left is her junior sidekick, Katy Parker.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/ article-2227011/ BEL-MOONEY-My-prudish-husband-left-I-lied-sex-life.html
When I met
my husband 40 years ago I knew he was ‘the one.’ He had firm opinions
on sex before marriage (outdated even then) and was a virgin.
As
I got to know him, it became clear that he’d never consider marrying
somebody with ‘history.’ He thought sex special and wouldn’t want to
imagine his wife having it with others.
But, by 22, I’d been having sex for four years. Madly in love and wanting him to marry me, I lied.
Any thoughts, morons and 'ettes?

Pretty good. Tossed out my dinner because it was hospital meatloaf, and while I'm willing to try all kinds of nasty things, that was not one of them. Then an hour ago, they came and told me that surgery was a go in the morning, so no food after midnite. But Jets pizza delivers to the hospital--Score!

"And it's not so much the fact that the woman lied about her sexual history - I'm hardly the first man to observe that most, if not all, non-virgin women reflexively lie about N - but the fact that she knew perfectly well that this was a major matter of principle to him and she proceeded to purposefully deceive him about it anyhow. It was more than a deception meant to be justified by the eventual ends, it was also a total lack of respect for the man, for his principles, and a shameless manipulation meant to prevent him from being permitted to make a very important decision about his own life. Notice that even now, she still fails to respect his principles."

NEW CNN/OPINION RESEARCH POLL OUT
ROMNEY 49 OBAMA 49
ITS DEAD EVEN I TELL YOU DEAD EVEN
YOU COULDN'T SQUEEZE GREGS DICK BETWEEN THEM ITS SO CLOSE!
METHODOLOGY
A total of 1,010 adults were interviewed by telephone nationwide by live interviewers calling both landline and cell phones. All
respondents were asked questions concerning basic demographics, and the entire sample was weighted to reflect national Census
figures for gender, race, age, education, region of country, telephone usage and whether respondents own or rent their homes.
Registered voters were asked questions about their likelihood of voting, past voting behavior, and interest in the campaign; based
on answers to those questions, 693 respondents were classified as likely voters. Respondents who reported that they had already
cast an absentee ballot or voted early were automatically classified as likely voters. Among those likely voters, 41% described
themselves as Democrats, 29% described themselves as Independents, and 30% described themselves as Republicans.
BASED ON 307 REGISTERED VOTERS WHO DESCRIBE THEMSELVES AS DEMOCRATS AND 111 REGISTERED
VOTERS WHO DESCRIBED THEMSELVES AS INDEPENDENTS WHO LEAN DEMOCRATIC, FOR A TOTAL OF 418
REGISTERED DEMOCRATS-- (SAMPLING ERROR: +/- 5% PTS.)
BASED ON 293 REGISTERED VOTERS WHO DESCRIBE THEMSELVES AS REPUBLICANS AND 152 REGISTERED
VOTERS WHO DESCRIBE THEMSELVES AS INDEPENDENTS WHO LEAN REPUBLICAN, FOR A TOTAL OF 445
REGISTERED REPUBLICANS -- (SAMPLING ERROR: +/- 4.5% PTS.)
now look how they managed the likely voter breakdown
693 respondents were classified as likely voters.
41% described themselves as Democrats,
29% described themselves as Independents, and
30% described themselves as Republicans
-------------------
SO they have a tie among Likely Voters with a D+11 sample???
D + FUCKING ELEVENTY?
OH YEAH ITS TIED ALRIGHT!!!!!!!!!ELEVENTY!

I like neo, but that's just plain wrong and has been obviously so since the Indonesian Imbecile first started his public verbal diarrhea. He's a shitty speaker. He doesn't know when to put proper stress on phrases and sounds more contrived than a high school sophmore in his speeches. His "celebrated" race speech was beyond a joke and the after-speech antics and commentary he gave were laughable, at best. The minute he's without a prompter he comes off as a stone-cold retard and he's always had a problem making sense of any sort.

At the last of the 2012 Presidential Debates, Gov. Romney spoke of the need to keep up the Navy’s fleet strength in order for it to fulfill its mandated missions. Pres. Obama belittled this and spoke about “these things called aircraft carriers, where planes land on them. We have these ships that go underwater, nuclear submarines” as if all other navy vessels were as outdated as “horses and bayonets.”
Of course, the military has more bayonets then it did a hundred years ago, and though our reliance on horses may be less, they still have a critical place in the military today.
What are “horses and bayonets” but the individual parts of a unicorn? Does this mean we don’t get the unicorns we were supposed to get from Obama after all?
What is striking about Obama’s unicorn logic is that he doesn’t seem to apply this to anything else. Education spending, for example has generally increased above the cost of inflation, and we are spending around a quarter of a million dollars per classroom in failing schools.
If doing more with less is the best choice for the military, then why isn’t this applicable to schools? Better curricula and more efficient use of fund could give better results for what we pay, or even if we paid less. But teachers’ unions are generally favorable to the Democratic coalition, while the brave men and women of our military are not. Ultimately, that is the true unicorn logic of Obama and the left.

(1) After months of projecting a high % O win, Nate Silver in the last 24-48 hours is now out with the meme that his model depends on the composition of the electorate. Everyone in the MSM has now picked up on this.
(2) Why did he do this? O's early voting projections in every state are off by around 5-8%, with increased R EV making the margins down by 10-15% in some cases. He's got the inside scoop from team O as well, I'm sure.
(3) The evidence in support of a more R turnout model is the tightening of races everywhere in blue but not red states. If this was 2008, we should be talking about MO, IN, and NC.
(4) Joe Trippi was on tonight saying basically the same thing as Nate Silver (good message discipline, team O): the electoral result depends on the turnout model.
(5) Barone said that fundamentals matter. He's right. If you forget the polls, who would you day was favored right now?
(6) Incumbents tied generally lose.

it done, then why have we never seen a sportswriter coach in the Super
Bowl or manage a game in the World Series?
As a writer, I don't look at it like that at all. I like to write because I like to share my experiences with others, hopefully in an entertaining way. Writing is a talent, just like playing the piano or painting or coaching in the Super Bowl. Some people have an aptitude for it and choose to exploit it. Sometimes it's a chore, but sometimes it just flows and your hands can barely keep up with the muse.
Besides, using your sports analogy, you've seen interviews with coaches and players, right? They are some of the most boring people on the planet--they are so focused on their craft that they never learned how to communicate properly (again, sweeping generalization, but just watch any sideline interview to for an example). For those of us that don't have the ability to play or coach on a major-league level--in any endeavor--writing lets us be near it and be a part of it.
I love me some St. Louis Cardinals, and even though I can't hit a 70 mph pitch, much less a 100 mph one, I'd *love* to be able to follow the team around and write about them every day. Unfortunately, somebody else already has that job. We writers need to find our niches.

A total of 1,010 adults were interviewed
693 respondents were classified as likely voters
41% described themselves as Democrats
29% described themselves as Independents
30% described themselves as RepublicansD+11
But if you look at the actual calls made and their breakdown:
307 R.VOTERS DESCRIBE THEMSELVES AS DEMOCRATS
111 R.VOTERS AS INDEPENDENTS WHO LEAN DEMOCRATIC
FOR A TOTAL OF 418 REGISTERED DEMOCRATS
293 R.VOTERS AS REPUBLICANS
152 R.VOTERS AS INDEPENDENTS WHO LEAN REPUBLICAN

All I can figger is that Rove wants to help boost the R turnout here to give Bammy a lower margin than he had in 2008 and/or help the local ballot measures.
The most interesting race in LA is between a couple of long time Dem reps who got redistricted into a race for the House: Berman and Sherman. It's turned into a steel cage death match. There was a pushing/attempted headlock by Sherman on Berman at a debate, some pretty nasty mailers, etc. Since I'm registered R, I've got several mailers from both candidates touting themselves as the most conservative of the pair!

For once I agree with you. There's danger in overconfidence.
Actually, that's the main thing that's puzzled me about those saying
I'm a Dem plant. I predict a tight race. How would that discourage
Republicans to vote?
And if it did, what would that say about Republicans?
Obviously in a tight race, there's more reason to vote.
Posted by: Samwise Gamgee the 3rd at November 04, 2012 10:50 PM (SKX2R)
Romney isn't only using the GOTV for himself, but he is also hoping to drag some R's across the line too. Barky was able to drag a few across the line in 08, and they were his most loyal followers in the House. If Mitt can help drag some Senators and Congresscritters across the line, they will line up with him for the next 4 years.
Plus, if Mitt starts sweeping the swing states, some of the west coast dems may start getting discouraged and decide not to vote, allowing the GOP to pick up some seats they may not have thought about picking up, especially if our side keeps getting their votes out. That is why you don't get our just enough votes, you get out every single one of them.

Book, I totally agree with your comment. Obviously lots of people here think I'm underconfident in outcome of the election, assuming they give me the benefit of the doubt that I want Romney to win.
Well, maybe I am. Maybe he'll win handily.
But your point is that assuming it'll be close (after all, Obama won by 9.5 million votes in '08, and that's a huge swing that Romney requires) is better because overconfidence can breed complacency which can breed disastrous upset.
I could not agree more. My point exactly.

Book didn't say that. I'm pretty sure the word Book used is "majority". And I'm pretty sure that in reality the majority of people who voted for him last time WILL vote again for him this time.
No sane person doubts this. I really don't get your criticism of Book's comment. You replaced the word "majority" with "all", and then attacked something he or she didn't say.

annoying human being ever placed in a major role on a tv show.
If you mean the sister, alot of commenters at Jump the Shark felt the same way although alot of the hatred seemed to be based on some other show she'd been in that I'd never watched. She didn't bother me in the first two seasons because I'd like to have boned her.
Re. annoying: I did learn to hate Diane in Cheers once it went into heavy syndication and I was watching her five or more times a day! She'd never bothered me for the fresh-run, weekly viewings (although I had a cousin who hated her even that infrequently) but daily viewings just drove me nuts.

There were four black teens going to West Trenton, the end of the line, who were freaked out by all the noisy white people on their train. I don't think they were Romney supporters, but they were outnumbered 200 to four and didn't seem eager to debate.
Event was short waves of high energy music and speeches, broken up by long boring stretches of waiting for the tardy nominee. Everyone was cold but excited, and eager to greet. In an empty stretch, my new chum glommed on to a pack of Mormon elders who had skipped evening services to see Brother Mitt and Sister Anne, and we had a lovely chat about Jesus's visit to America, the Word of Wisdom, their lovely temples and missionary life.
I was mystified by the whole encounter until I learned that their chapel is mere blocks away from my own neighborhood. (My new acquaintance is quite the conniver.) From there, it was about sixty seconds to the offer of a free ride home, skipping the 1.5-mile walk back to Yardley Station, the cold wait on an open platform, a crowded train and a 20-block trip from Phila 30th Street to my house.
Cars had to be reconfigured to segregate these wanton Gentile women from the missionary lads, so we found ourselves instead traveling unchaperoned with two adorably wholesome teen Mormonettes. Decidedly unwholesome thoughts were flooding the back seat, but Nephi and Moroni gave us sluts gratitude, modesty and restraint. Talk all the way home was Electoral College strategy and how awful the press has been. In our parting prayer, Our Heavenly Father got a double dose of thanks for new friends Jo and Mike, and triple beseeching for the safety of Brother Mitt and Sister Anne.
I've never loved the nonexistent God more than in that moment.

Years ago I was on a date with a fundamentalist
protestant. When I told him that I'm Catholic he said, "Don't you
Catholics drink and gamble in church?"
I said, "No we drink and play bingo in the church hall. Oh, and that's real wine for communion, not juice."
Posted by: nerdygirl at November 04, 2012 11:13 PM (nPXok)
A friend of mine from college is a Catholic priest, and that is the only reason I joke about them. He pretty much would do anything, except for the sex thing. Today, he pretty much pours more wine at communion than is needed (you probably know why), and managed to get himself transfered back to the area where our college is. He is at the college every Friday and Saturday night having fellowship with the students.
I also grew up Episcopalian, and we drank the real stuff at communion too, but they didn't have bingo because the little old ladies would have had a heart attack having bingo in the church, not because of the gambling, but because those bingo players would be in their church. It was a real warm place to go to church.

The bad faith, disingenuousness, and dishonesty of their concern.
Over time, those qualities-- bad faith, disingenuousness, dishonesty-- become apparent.
Oh, I forgot one: obsessive attention-seeking. Even (or especially) negative attention. That's a key characteristic of the concern troll. Feeding on attention and replies. Taking over a comment thread.
I advocate ignoring them.

Not sure how you define tolerable weather. Texas would be good, and I used to recommend the area between Birmingham and Huntsville, but I am not sure how you handle heat. And it gets colder in those parts than you might like, too. (Northern Texas, anyway, not sure I have ever been cold in Southern Tx)

The gun gets very good reviews and has some features I really like. Being magazine-fed means reloads are much quicker than a pump if you have extra mags. Plus, someone can be loading mags for you while you shoot. Import restrictions limit the mag capacity to 5 shells, but there are domestic options coming soon (so they say) for 10 and supposedly 20 round mags, plus iIthink I saw somewhere that someone had hooked up a 50 round drum.
Also, this feels like the best gun I've ever held. I have a couple of cases of 00 buck, three more 5-shell mags, and a really cool red dot / light / strobe due for delivery tomorrow or Tuesday.

When I was growing up, back before Indian casinos and state lotteries, when gambling outside Nevada was illegal, there was a bingo game that would move from one parish to another. When it was in our parish my grandma took me to it. They played for bushel baskets of groceries.
My aunt and uncle were from a rural parish that had a Parish Festival every year. They had bingo, a beer tent, and those wheels (round and round and round she goes, where she stops, nobody knows). We would go to this every year and it was great fun.This was all illegal.
The county sheriff belonged to the parish. Late in the afternoon, 4 or 5 o'clock a sheriff's deputy cruiser would come and shut it down and everyone would leave. Of course the money would already be gone. Everyone knew what was going on. One time we were leaving just as the cruiser was coming.

True, and I don't mean to downplay the destruction the wildfires caused, but my concern (yep -- used the word) about Sandy is that it's cold now and winter weather is approaching.
So if energy supplies and services aren't restored in a timely fashion, it could get worse. It may be a slower rolling, but worse, disaster.

That's a fair point. On the other hand, anchors have to handle a wide array of fast-breaking stories. They should probably be more diligent, but can't check out the backstory on everything.
There should be specialist editors and such, though, that catch this, draw it to the anchors' attention, and include better context.
So it's a fair criticism of media operations writ large more than simply of anchors.

I totally believe you, and respect that. It's entirely your choice.
But the numbers I gave were far from unrealistic, and indeed, they are generally the norm from me.
The actual range comes from "The Mystery Method", of which I'm not a big fan. But despite that, I've found his estimate of the length of time to be right on the money.
I usually come across as less than the 7 hours he suggests is the ideal for a solid game.
My last two successful ones were about 2 and 4 hours respectively.

True story.
I once met this girl, got her number and such, but moved away to date this other girl, and she called me to invite me to her wedding. I happily accepted.
A week later, she called me to invite me to her wedding.
To a COMPLETELY different guy.

There are Calvinists in Michigan who don't. They were very strict. When I was growing up they couldn't play on Sunday, go to movies, play cards, or dance. Most aren't that strict anymore. They even go to stores on Sunday. I listened to one explain that in Jesus time, what they called wine, was actually juice.
I was at a Catholic Mass and the people in front of me had an elderly lady who wasn't Catholic with them. During communion she said to one of the kids, "That isn't really wine, is it?"

Talk about meltdown! Doesn't sound like a chap whose candidate of
choice is looking good. Almost everybody calling in is voting R, and it
just degenerates into a shouting match, resulting in a hang-up. Alan has
called JEF a constitutional scholar, and assures us there was a
military response in Benghazi 26 minutes into the fight, (not sure where
that comes from?) Oh - he wanted to have a noted conservative voice on
to endorse JEF - so he had Eisenhower's granddaughter. This is lol. I'm
actually feeling sorry for the guy.

Well seeing as how this here is an open thread, this here is my request to reopen the discussion. I finally got the perfect one.
The Battle - from the score for Gladiator. I don't know why I couldnt think of it before now. I frikkin love that movie and that score.
For those of you who aren't freaks for Gladiator, this is the music that is playing at the beginning of the movie when Maximus is demolishing the barbarian horde. See now? You got it.
How freakin perfect is this track for the situation we are in? We are the f-ing troops of Rome and we just need to be reminded of how mighty we are. We are going to kick ass and take barbarian names on election day dammit!
And seriously, take a listen to the whole soundtrack while you are at it. Remember what the movie was about? The Emperor had all the advantages but Maximus came back from supposed death to take him out without any advantages but his own courage and awesomeness. That is the American people folks. They think they got us pinned down. They think they are in control of us. Huh.

I can't either. That's one of the reasons I put a recent moratorium on sex, after the two women I mentioned above. Definitely sex with false promises and the like is heartrbreaking.
JUST sex is one thing. Being told it's more than sex, when it turns out to be just sex, sucks.
When I started dating many moons ago, I wanted to find a woman, one woman, and get married. To wait for marriage, no less.
I quickly (and repeatedly) discovered that if I did NOT have sex with the woman, some other guy would, and she would quickly marginalize me in favor of him.
I tried to remedy this by being even nicer. This did not work.
Say what you will about my ascerbic personality, there's actual scientific research that shows "disagreeable" men get laid more.
I could explain the evo-psychology theories behind that, but they're unlikely to be accepted here. I'll just say this:
I can get laid. It's trivially easy.
Doesn't mean I've mastered love, but getting women to want sex is not a difficult thing.
Including Republicans, religious women, etc.

I used to think that, but actually asking can work if you do it right. And if you have a comeback for if the answer is no.
Classic setup:
"Do you want to kiss me?"
"No."
"I didn't say you could. You just looked like you had something on your mind."
Of course, the answer is often, "Yes," or, "Maybe," and in both cases, you kiss her.

This is such a delicate dance. A little initiative is not a bad
thing at all, but I recommend stroking her cheek or some other slight
physical gesture first. And then just a gentle kiss, unless she is very
responsive herself.
I've found that going for the deep hug and then giving a little resistance when she starts to pull away works. I don't trap her, but slow her down just enough that you can look her in the eyes when she's only a couple of inches away. If she's interested, she'll want to linger close to you, whereas if she's not you'll be able to tell right away.
But yeah, don't be afraid to just move in for the kiss. Never ask.

44 and 60 : GOTV has been the plan all along in all the battleground states. That is why they are battleground states. The advantage R/R have is in enthusiasm, but that enthusiasm is useless if those people don't all vote. Remember, this has been an uphill battle all the way to take these states. Obama started with huge leads.

She propositioned me while they were married. I turned her down.
After the separated, I moved in with her for a while (a year later). Was moving to town anyway. She was hot, and she offered that as opposed to me getting a place, so sure.
Still dated other girls.
Fell in love with one of them, so called it off with the hot redhead I was living with, although sure we still slept in the same bed sometimes, showered together, and groomed each other (all of which my girlfriend knew about).
But never had sex past that point.

Yeah...asking for a kiss is not good.
It seems whiney and needy.
But telling her that you find her...kissable...is a compliment.
Telling her you "want to kiss her", is a strong statement of fact, and not whiney.
It's a show of self confidence.
It puts her on notice...and puts the ball in her court.
Something that many of us find irresistable.

(TinyURL or similar can be used to post links here.)
While I'm a MUCH bigger fan of the average Major-to-Colonel (and equivalent navy rank) than General Officer, I saw someone state that Romney had chalked up over 300 flag-rank officer endorsements, and Obama something like 5.
Which IS surprising, actually. Not that Romney got more. I'd expect the Republican to. But that he got SO MUCH more, and Obama so few.
I don't think Obama's that popular among informed military officers.

623Great news about the military guys taking out the ad. At first I wondered why they waited so long as that could have beefed up Romney in Ohio, but it's probably been designed to be late so that the Dems couldn't charge Mitt with being a war-monger. It's obviously supposed to help him with military in VA and hopefully with vets in Ohio.

Which Ad?
I thought that there was going to be one...tonight...during that "Seal Team Six" movie that aired on NatGeo.
So I watched it, just to see the Ad.
Didn't see one.
I don't think the movie did anything good for Barky, though.

I am assuming you mean detachable mag shotguns. Any pump or semi feeds from a magazine, it's usually a tubular magazine underneath the barrel. The only ones that don't use a magazine are the double-barrels or single shot breech-loading shotguns.
And I suspect the answer to be regulations regarding hunting that limit magazines to three shots for shotguns, no sense in putting a 3 shot box magazine in a hunting shotgun...and most of them are primarily hunting shotguns. The Saiga-12 is one of the exceptions.

Daily Kos is apparently pushing a story that they have "proof" that
Romney paid no taxes for several years. Let's see if the media takes the
time to fact check the story leading to it being debunked, or if they
take it at face value and broadcast it with glee.

Even the ones down there won't date him.
Posted by: Oldcat at November 05, 2012 12:31 AM (rzSn3)
When I was 18, I couldn't get a date to save my life. I moved to a bit city following heartbreak over an unrequited love, and I determined to get a girlfriend.
I started out asking women at school, on the bus, wherever. Got turned down well over 60 times straight. Minimum.
It was terrible. I was terrible at it too, but emotionally it was hellish. Wanted to die most of the time. I never thought a woman would ever like me "that way".
Then, somehow, I got to the point where I realized asking girls out didn't hurt me anymore. They weren't saying yes, but I wasn't afraid of it.
I asked this one girl out at my job, and she said yes. She said she was going to ask ME out. Which shocked me, but there it was.
I then had not one, but two, girls get jealous that I was dating someone, and ask me out or seduce me.
One of those two weirded me out by getting my number from work without my permission and I turned her down. The other one was a friend who was dead hot (the first word I ever said in my mind when I saw her months earlier was, "Wow,") but I never thought would like me that way.
She called me late at night, innocent me, and one thing led to another.
So much for waiting for marriage.
Anyway, I called the girl I was dating, feeling like a total asshole, to tell her what I'd done. Before I could, she broke up with me, because I wasn't culturally aware and didn't even know who her favorite bands were.
I pretended I was disappointed, but in my mind, I was screaming, "Thank you God!"
After that point, I still kept meeting women in person, and I'd meet about 5 or so, and 4 would give me their numbers.
2 later would turn me down saying they had boyfriends when I called, but had given me their numbers because they were swept away by my confidence or charm or whatnot.
Years later, I read books (many) on dating women, and it was like, "Oh right! This IS right."
'Cause I'd figured out lots of that stuff on my own.
Of course, the books helped me get better, and I'd get women in bed quicker, as a rule.
But they also kind of fuck up your head a bit too if you let them.
Women are neither saints nor devils. They're people who smell nicer.
Some are horrible, others wonderful. Most ... "Meh."
At least North American women. European women and even Arab and Persian women are pretty awesome, as long as you don't talk politics or religion in the latter case, where they're crazy.

I've wondered why we don't see more mag. fed shotguns.
There are a few out there. But shotgun rounds are much heavier and bulkier than even 30-06 ammo, so a 20- or 30-round mag would be large. The under-barrel tube magazine works well, is proven, works with both pump and autoloading designs, cannot be lost or misplaced and can be topped-off while not firing. Also, shotgun rounds are rimmed, which is not the best choice for magazines.

If you want to sleep with a new woman a month or more on average, year in year out, decade after decade, mine is great advice.
If you want to get married to your "one", and are wiling to endure the emotional risks that entails for the great reward it offers, you are indeed best off not following my advice.
Except ask women out (well, for their number to text them). That's pretty basic.

"Evangelicals are also not being accounted for - we're going to see turnout among that group comparable to 1980 and 84."
Well, surely the polls, including Rasmussen must call some of them, wouldn't you think? I am hoping that Ralph Reed has been successful in both registering the 2 million he sought to register and getting them to the polls to vote R/R.
I read an article that interviewed some big wig Baptist. Man, pissed me off big time. He was saying that it does matter that a man who might be President is a Mormon whereas it doesn't matter that a senator, like Harry Reid, is one. He said that a Mormon President would "legitimize" that faith in ways a lesser representative could never do. And yes, he called it a "cult" still. Come on folks, don't you'all fear everyone converting to Mormonism. I think these guys like that are just afraid of the competition from Mormons to convert others. I guess not even Billy Graham's ad helped this guy see the light.
I live in CA. I have known many Mormons--great people. When I read of a preacher, a big wig like that spouting such nonsense, I feel as if they live on another planet. I think he was from VA--whoops.

Why not start by just striking up random conversations for a few seconds with whomever?
Couples, men, old women, Starbucks baristas, grocery checkout line clerks, and so on.
And, down the road, if one of these talks goes well (as it will), you can always just say, "Hey, I'm kind of shy about meeting people, but you seem worth talking to a second time. Would you like to text each other?"
It's not the strongest line in the world, but it will work.

Just having a nice jacket over a shirt or a T-shirt can make a big difference.
And polished shoes with lines? This still works. I have all sorts of female friends who tell me they look at a man's shoes.
This is so predictable, I just laugh when they say it.
The jacket is optional. Asking the women out isn't.

Sassy, most women these days text. At least the women in their 20s I generally date. 30s too for that matter, and even 40s.
If a woman wants to talk on the phone, I'm a HUGE fan of this. That was how it was when I started dating, and I rock on the phone.
But text messaging is where it's at these days.
Also, I admitted that was a pretty weak line. As I said, it was advice for a guy who is currently shy with women and thinks women find him repulsive.
My last date, I pushed the woman against a wall in a hallway, in the daytime, and then she came back to my place.
I'm not super shy.
But the point is, it's OK to be shy. You can still get dates. As long as you're confident enough to ASK, you can still get somewhere.

Not so much. Curious would start with a self-absorbed anecdote from the previous day and then end with some question. "Do you think this could be true? What does everyone think?"
Sam is much closer to Jimi Ray; supreme self-regard, unearned condescension, sophistry piled on top of dilettantism, and, of course, the conspicuous contrarianism.

Sassy, I'm obviously not here to meet women.
As I said above, I even put a recent moratorium on new women.
And my behavior here is hardly calculated to pick up women.
And obviously I'm not claiming all women like me.
But, have I ever turned on a woman or two, or two hundred, or more, on the phone?
Emotionally as well as physically?
It isn't hard to do. Voice tone alone will take you most of the way there, even if you're talking about other things.

And I suspect the answer to be regulations regarding hunting that limit magazines to three shots for shotguns, no sense in putting a 3 shot box magazine in a hunting shotgun...and most of them are primarily hunting shotguns. The Saiga-12 is one of the exceptions.
Posted by: GGE of the Moron Horde, NC Chapter at November 05, 2012 12:29 AM (yh0zB)
***************
This is true. With the short barrel, I got mine for defense as opposed to hunting. You are correct on the restricted shell load for hunting. I know you can buy a gizmo that will limit the number of shells in the magazine for hunting for the MKA, and I think I've seen them for the Saiga, as well.
That was a sweet looking gun setup, Sandy.
I went with the red dot/light/strobe combo ( http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/ItemDetail.aspx?sku=9-55710 ) since I have a bad back and two blown disks in my lower right neck and so want to shoot from under my shoulder if possible. Need to get one of those front grips for the gun though.

And ends with,
"...that’s what happened yesterday to Barack Obama in Virginia. Famous liar, womanizer, and accused rapist Bill Clinton kept the audience in their seats, but as Obama was speaking, many people had had enough; they got up and left so they could beat the parking lot traffic.
As Charlie Spiering of the Washington Examiner tweeted:
'Wow. Steady stream of cold people trotting towards the exit in the middle of Obama's speech.'
And even Obama’s hot air wasn’t enough to hold them."

HEY yourself! I can still show up on Sundays, but that's about it, though I check to see if the ONT is alive at 2 or 3 when I get home some nights. The new gig is a big change, going from daytime front office scientist to 2nd shift mfg. supervisor, but it's been really fun. I've got 22 people working for me who all seem to want to be there, the hours go fast, and the money is pretty stupid. Having been a high-school hockey coach for nearly a decade, adults are easy. They act like 17 year old boys sometimes, whereas 17 year old boys are what they are all the time. Also, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are undefeated and Mitt Romney is going to be our next president. Life is good.

Okay, true story. Tonight I took the dog outside our mountain cabin.
Since it was dark out and I had been drinking, I walked out into the
meadow and took a leak. The dog sat up on the deck at the top of the
stairs, waiting for me. When I got back up the stairs it occurred to me
that something was seriously wrong with this picture. Can anyone say
"role reversal"?

I didn't go, because I didn't feel like dealing with the cold, the crowds, and the traffic. But mostly because I'm lazy. I watched it on C-SPAN, though. Gotta love the internet.

This.
Although, honestly, Reagan stood up to commies in Hollywood, then faced down the Kremlin. HW Bush was a very young pilot in the navy, then helped beat the commies and was a decent President, loving father and husband. W. Bush was all class, I think, at least personally.
So I think Romney's in good company, and I'm very impressed with him (and hell, I forgot McCain -- yeah, he's with the Dems half the time and calling for US forces to be deployed anywhere and everywhere the other half, but he did fight and get tortured on behalf of America, then still devote his life to public service), but he's in good company.
I REALLY dislike Ford for pardoning Nixon, so I won't count him, but otherwise, I guess he was OK.
Oh, Dole also -- he lost, but a decent man. War hero. Etc.

There are no hoses in that location. It is likely that if this is not a recurring problem that a dish is diverting the spray directly against the door seal. Look at how it is loaded and see if you change the loading it makes the problem go away. The seals degrade over time but you can nurse it along for awhile just paying attention to the ricochet of the water to the door.

Probably a good idea to get him in the habit of doing that anyway... if he ever uses a school or public computer he will want to log out of stuff like that every time.
I'm not sure about google plus because I don't use it (went to sign up at the request of one of my friends and it said it was going to link all of my picasa albums to the account. I didn't want to do that so I decided against it). On facebook I think he would pretty much just have to go through his friends list and try to see who is missing.

Yeah, the crack between the unit and the cabinet wall...are where the hot water hose and the drain hose go through...to connect to the hot water line and the sink drain.
There are holes in that cabinet wall, for those two hoses to go to the dishwasher.
And I just looked...it could be the seal that's leaking at that side.
But there isn't any water underneath the washer door itself, it's dry under there...beneath the seal.
Water was seeping out on the floor...from that crack between the unit and the cabinet wall.

He was my favorite president in my lifetime, at least on his personality, although Reagan was more consequential.
Far from Reagan's defeating the Warsaw Pact just being an accident of history, he went into office with a plan, developed from the 60s onwards, written down largely on 3x5 cue cards, and executed it brilliantly, adjusting to events well.
I think Romney may prove to rival W. for class in my mind, were I to be around long enough to fully appreciate his Presidency (assuming he wins).

If its a few years old, the rubber seal washer on the water hose might just be whupped enough that its seeping (that you can replace yourself). Does it leak constantly or only when running?
If its constant, then its something between the units internal water valve and the water supply. If it leaks only when running, then its something internal on the unit side of its internal valve.

Used an electric shaver to shave her tasty bits. Trimmed the top parts with scissors as per her instructions. And she trimmed me with said scissors because she hated getting hairs in her mouth.
Since you asked.
This was back when not every woman shaved. Which they do now.
Which seems a bit overboard to me, at least as an actual social requirement, but got to hand it to the expert marketers at Gillette.

903...If its a few years old, the rubber seal washer on the water hose might just be whupped enough that its seeping (that you can replace yourself). Does it leak constantly or only when running?
-----------
Yeah, the hoses are the same age as the unit...about 10 yrs.
Had a new water heater put in last year, and it's a good one...I set the temp up higher, to disinfect dishes and dirty towels and such.
The higher temp of the hot water might've aided in causing a hose to leak?
I dunno.

But there isn't any water underneath the washer door itself, it's dry under there...beneath the seal.
Water was seeping out on the floor...from that crack between the unit and the cabinet wall.>>
I based my assessment on the fact connections are at front center of the unit for hot water feed and rear bottom for drain (generally). to get a leak at the side other than on the floor should be a seal issue. Not there so don't know but I also can' hurt so it is what info that's worth the price paid.

Most exotic thing that's ever happened to me religiously is I was fishing in a trout stream in the middle of Missouri one summer weekend and a vanload of Baptists came by and asked if they could baptize a guy. It was apparently his preference to be baptized in his favorite stream instead of at his church. Really cool--they actually sang "As I Went Down in the River to Pray," like in O Brother Where Art Thou?
My grandfather was a southern Baptist, who eventually converted to my grandmother's Catholicism. The Baptist part of the family is still trying to "save" us, but since it's all done out of love, it's pretty inoffensive stuff.

Take a look under the sink and make sure the receptacle its plugged into isn't getting wet either. In my development almost every one of those dishwasher/disposal receptacles has caught fire and torched up at some point due to shoddy "backstabbed" installation, and water under the sink.
It looks like an ordinary duplex receptacle, but internally the halves are usually split with one half on one circuit, the other half on another and 240v between them -- IOW, there's 240V with in the wall box, 120V of that to one half, 120V to the other. 240V is enough for a self sustain electrical arc

Grew up Episcopalian - one of my cousins was dating a Baptist girl, who was always amazed at all the standing up - sitting down - kneeling going on at church. Then another cousin married a Catholic girl, which really freaked my aunt out (old South Episcopalians didn't care for the Catholics very much...). He had to agree to raise the kids Catholic, but then the kids all went to a private Baptist school - but I think they are still Catholic (or at the least confused...).

There's a yearning in this country, the deepest of yearnings inthe hearts ourpeople. It's not for a man or for a woman, but for an idea. We yearn for one who is willing to protect it, to sanctify it with respect, the respect given it by our forefathers,by our mothers and fathers and grandmothers and grandfathers who sacrificed to make something of this land, this people.
As Mitt prays for worthiness before he goes before the people of this land, let us remember it's the idea we wish him to embody, to protect.

Not an overly hairy guy (no where near Robin Williams) but regularly showering and shaving my face was the limit of grooming I was taught to do. I also was fine with that for the women I dated.

When I was younger, I noticed I did better with women when I hadn't shaved for a few days and didn't know why. Also, when I didn't dress up.
I often wore ties.
But when I just dressed nice, not business-like, and had stubble, had way better results.
Years later, of course, I've seen studies showing women prefer stubble.
But of course, I've never gotten a woman in my life, so I wouldn't really know ....

858...There are no hoses in that location. It is likely that if this
is not a recurring problem that a dish is diverting the spray directly
against the door seal. Look at how it is loaded and see if you change
the loading it makes the problem go away. The seals degrade over time
but you can nurse it along for awhile just paying attention to the
ricochet of the water to the door.
----------
Yeah, the crack between the unit and the cabinet wall...are where the hot water hose and the drain hose go through...to connect to the hot water line and the sink drain.
There are holes in that cabinet wall, for those two hoses to go to the dishwasher.
And I just looked...it could be the seal that's leaking at that side.
But there isn't any water underneath the washer door itself, it's dry under there...beneath the seal.
Water was seeping out on the floor...from that crack between the unit and the cabinet wall.

There are only a handful of counties that don't require emissions testing yearly; most are very rural and can't spare the expense to build inspection points. None in mid-TN since the late 80s. Neither good nor bad, just fact. You've been gone a minute, beagle.

962...Take a look under the sink and make sure the receptacle its plugged into isn't getting wet either. ...
----------
Did that. It's dry under the sink...and dry where the hoses are coming in from the dishwasher.
It's one of those kind of installations, where the drain hose connects to the bottom of the disposal unit, beneath the sink.
Dunno if there is enough hose length to pull the unit out from it's space under the countertop...without yanking the connections lose.
That's beyond my upper body strength anyway, to do something like that.

Yeah, what's up with that??? In my youth I lived in Northern VA for about a year and had to pay "personal property tax" on my CAR... Having grown up in TX with none of that nonsense, I was totally confused - and then there was the state income tax in VA. Unwinding all that after I moved to TN was a mess, too - but at least I got a partial rebate (or something like that - it was over thirty years ago, so my memory is just a wee bit foggy...).

Well the water seeping out has stopped now.
Used three towels...bathsize ones...one at first to sopup the water, then one after another, laid down to absorb what was still seeping out.
So it wasn't like it was a gusher.
A slow seep.
It has to be the hoses, I think...because it stopped after the dishwasher stopped running.

I agree with Purp that you need to see if you can ease the unit out.
Unless this was installed at the same time as the cabinets (and even then good practice is to leave lots of slack in power/water/drain lines) you should have enough slack to pull the unit carefully out.
this will allow you to get a look at the connections.
At worst you might have to undo connections and add temporary extensions to do so. (if you do, and you had this installed, I'd have some words for the installer. This is not good practice)
Pull the unit out. Install extensions if necessary and put in a load and run.
You should then be able to tell WHERE the leak is originating.
Over half the work in find the solution to the problem is knowing WHAT and WHERE the problem lies.
This is what a good repairman would do if you called one in. (unless their experience with this brand has led them to see this before and know exactly why it's happening.
If you do put in extensions make sure your connections are tight and the power is grounded and has adequate size wire.
This is easy to do and may save you a ton of money. You may even be able to find out what's going on just by moving it out as far as you can so you can see what's happening.
Posted by: Jcw46 at November 05, 2012 02:31 AM (SP4jC)
If the water leak is only when the machine is running you can eliminate the connection to the hot water line. Your drain line should be at the back so you should only see it leak out under the machine. If the machine is 10 years old the best solution is likely just buying a new one and saving the $100 plumbers call to tell you that's the solution.

i was sceptical about the LOTR movies until i saw fellowship in the theatres. talk about epic!
the hobbit flicks are supposed to weave some of the mythology of tolkien's less-popular works into the narrative. not sure how..i embargo any stories that get heavy on specifics...but i think seeing committed to screen more of the incredible world of tolkien's imagination, which is so much more than just the third-age middle earth of lotr, could end up being just as epic, if not more so, than the lotr treatment!
i don't usually like when my preconceived visions of how good books' characters and locales look are usurped by some director's rather stock imagination...but peter jackson certainly did lotr right, so i'm open to seeing how he does middle earth in the second age now, too!

OK, so you might have some time to play with it. I would guess the hose connections at the dishwasher end -- which are pretty easy to redo.
I personally like to pull all the dishwasher hoses and its power cord into the undersink cabinet to start. There's usually about 4' of it stashed behind the dishwasher. That'll tell you if pulling the dishwasher out is going to be really bad. If you've got plenty to slide the dishwasher forward, then open the door and unscrew the screws holding it into the cabinet (especially the upward-facing one right in front of the door opening). Slowly pull forward as the hoses and cable slide back out of the undersink cabinet.....
If you're really, really, really lucky, you can then run a short cycle and just watch where it leaks.

I've never installed a dishwasher with that kind of extra hose. But only 4" are necessary for the seals vs drain/water connection trouble shooting. There are usually 2 screws into the bottom of the counter top that keep a dishwasher from moving. take them out and slide it forward till the door seals are visible and you can eliminate or prove the seals as the problem.

NOT a gun guy, consider it disclaimed, but if the op meant .357 as in the same way it's used for a .357 magnum bullet, it means 357 thousandths of an inch.

While the Stuka-holes in the subterranean Belgian forts above Liege are still littered with 9mm Hi-Powers. I'll have to remember to mention that on some pro-Glock pistolero blogs one day when I'm cruising for abuse.
If you ever get to the vicinity of Liege, there is one hell of a JMB museum there. The still call him Le Maitre. It's harder to tour the forts, but they are really cool and creepy.

I personally like to pull all the dishwasher hoses and its power cord
into the undersink cabinet to start. There's usually about 4' of it
stashed behind the dishwasher.>>
I've never installed a
dishwasher with that kind of extra hose. But only 4" are necessary for
the seals vs drain/water connection trouble shooting. There are usually 2
screws into the bottom of the counter top that keep a dishwasher from
moving. take them out and slide it forward till the door seals are
visible and you can eliminate or prove the seals as the problem.

Wheatie was sayng that it seemed to come from further back, and mentioned a couple of towels worth of water, but it only happened when it was running -- that sort of says drain hose. Usual point of failure is where it attaches to the unit, 'cause they use cheezy clamps, but there is an alternative explanation -- clogged internal air gap.

I shouldn't have been saying 'hoses'.
There's a black rubber hose and a copper-looking line...runningthrough the side of the cabinet into the dishwasher.
I'm kind of any idiot when it comes to plumbing, really.
Posted by: wheatie at November 05, 2012 02:34 AM (I
well the fastest thing you can do is take the lower front off the dishwasher. usually about 4 screws. that will allow you to see under the dishwasher. You will be able to see the hose and water line connections on the dishwasher end. The thing to check for is those lines leaking, OR the tank seal where the motor attaches to the tank, OR for any cracks in the tank around the motor, both which I have seen happen on older plastic tank washers. If you take the lower front off and run the dishwasher you should be able to see any leaks with a flashlight.
The other thing is to make sure the float isn't stuck. That part is inside the dishwasher when you open the door. usually on the floor of the tank, and looks like a little R2D2 thingy. It moves up and down. Make sure it moves freely, because if it gets stuck near the bottom of its travel the water level goes higher and can leak out of the door seal. Sometimes they can get sticky.
Posted by: Berserker at November 05, 2012 02:51 AM (FMbng)

Have you run it while watching underneath? That may tell you enough.
If you have solid copper lines you should get that replaced with a braided line anyway. Ditto all the other lines.
By making all the connections after in place, they won't have a lot of give and drain/water/power lines can chafe or loosen causing leakage at connections or holes and should be replaced.
As to the Hobbit.
I was soooo happy to see that Peter Jackson stuck very close to the book for the movie. This is rare. It's why the movie was a success instead teh suck IMO.
If they start f'n with the Hobbit they will lose fans but they probably don't care as where can they go with the franchise from here? Most folks don't know about, don't care about and won't go to see any of the other works by Tolkien.
So as long as they can suck folks in to 1-3 movies, they're golden.
Cynical but then that's Hollywood.
I think that the Matrix suffered from the last two being overblown with poor casting, poor performances and too much PC.
they still made enough money so one of them got a sex change.

The Hobbit book itself could be a great movie, but if they choose accurate, relevant background info PLUS the material in The Hobbit, that could be great too.
All depends how it's done.

I believe your analysis is correct. '06 and '08 were wake-up calls to the GOP, a reminder that if we wanted politicians to spend money like a bunch of jackasses we'd just let the jackasses do it for a while. Hopefully they got the message, they're certainly talking a better show. I think this election is going to go more along the lines of 2010.

Ask your friends. Ask a repairman if you know one. Ask an appliance parts man if you know one. (they know ALL the dirty little secrets.)
Buy one that fits, that's cheap and can be self installed. Invest in good hoses/connections and that can allow easing the unit out for inspection.
Get one that installation is free. (if a reputable company with guarantee)
What a great country? There's Afghans that wonder each night if the goat will survive overnight so they can have some milk in the morning. Or that some Taliban doesn't bring down some Hellfire on the village. (of course their belief in a death cult is part of their problem. Still)

If you are mechanical enough to find the faulty part and replace it this is good advice. If not most appliances are disposable. The cost of a service call (assuming you don't pay for an insurance plan) will be close to half the cost of a new appliance. So Just coughing p for a new one is generally the most cost effective option. Installation is often free or at least subsidized with a new one and a service call is like a home visit from a Doc in price.

McConnell was a total fucking failure and disaster. It doesn't matter whether anything could be considered bipartisan (that had little to do with Bitch McConnell, anyway). Bitch cut some of the worst "deals" in history with people who are of such bad faith that no one with a brain would have even spoken to them. He allowed midnight votes to push off a debt-ceiling fight that he turned into a fiasco and a disaster. He stopped nothing. He fought against nothing. He just sat there like a lump and did nothing. He watched two of the most pathetic SCOTUS nominees in history sail right through, with the great distinction of having one be put through on the idea that "empathy" is a legitimate main criterion for a judge or judicial decision, in direct conflict with over 3 millenia of tradition and the very foundation of Western jurisprudence. He let another lie her way through confirmation without so much as a peep. He let Barky and Hairy Reed make a mockery of the Constitution and determinations of when the Senate was in session.
I could go on for days. Bitch McConnell was a total, unmitigated disaster. His only saving grace is that the Weeper of the House was a hundred times worse and that Hairy Reed and Skeletor Pelousi were orders of magnitude worse than the Crybaby. And Barky was even on a whole other level of America-hating douchebaggery (and treason and assorted crimes) than them.
So ... grading on this amazingly treasonous and retarded Washington curve, Bitch McConnell was the least worst.

I'm with you but for now him and boner are all we've got. so we'll have to somehow make them realize the error of their ways.
One way will be Romney getting elected. This SHOULD make them rethink their actions and attitude.
Of course Republicans/politicians tend to see results from a different viewpoint so they might not take the hint.
this is why, Sarah Palin, the moron horde et al will have to work even harder after the election to make sure that they realize they are on borrowed time and don't slip back into their old ways.
It needs to be brought home to them that we will not put up with anymore compromise on the security, liberty and financial stability of the US for any reasons of go along to get along or reaching across the aisle.
Democrats are the enemy along with the Mass Media.
Until they start acting like this is a war, they need to be reminded daily that they will not be allowed to kick the can down the road.

1154I would just take the lower toe kick panel off the dishwasher and look under it with a flashlight while its running, you can see everything that way without having to move the dishwasher. Like I said also, check the float, if its stuck down the water level will get too high and leak out the door seal. Its either going to be something stupid like the connections or the float, or something a little more serious like the motor seal, or a cracked tank by the motor.

i don't trust dishwashers, so i just wash everything by hand immediately after use...then set it on this cheap little plastic wal-mart dish holder for air drying. xD
i've even converted my fiancé...he likes to tease saying he can't wait to get married so his new-model dishwasher can move in ~.~ but seriously, he seems to think i do a better job than his super-fancy, brand-spanking-new loft apartment's top-of-the-line machine.
heck, since you really have to scrub the dishes at least cursorily before loading into a dishwasher, anyway, i really never got the attraction @.@

Security and liberty are at odds. Slaves are secure, they just aren't free. Security brought you the TSA and DHS. National defense OK, but give me liberty over this so-called security.
My $0.02, YMMV.

1136....The cost of a service call (assuming you don't pay for an
insurance plan) will be close to half the cost of a new appliance.
--------
Yeah, I think this dishwasher was around $375....installation and delivery was another $25.
And calling a repairman, if I can even find one that could fix this model...could easily run $200 to $300.
Can't complain, I guess....this one has worked good for a little over 10 years.

Seriously, you should try looking at fixing it yourself. If it's a $3 hose clamp, why buy a whole new dishwasher.....and if you screw it up real bad, you'll know that you'll have pushed it past the multi-$100 fix threshold.

One way will be Romney getting elected. This SHOULD make them rethink their actions and attitude.

I'll have a lot to say about this on Wednesday. I'm holding myself back as much as possible while this truly critical election is taking place but after Romney wins we are all (on the right and the ostensible right) going to have to have a not-so-nice discussion about what's truly necessary.

OMG, this is hilarious, you have to read this!
***
Seriously, this is funny. It's Terry McMillian who I guess wrote "Waiting to Exhale" and she goes on this epic rant on Daily Beast.
Talks about all this shit about the Election and Romney and Republicans. But she's so amped it's like she's just recording it into a microphone..then having some underling or computer type or print it out or whatever the fuck.
She talks about how she hasn't been as upset as she has by Romney since her divorce, which made me LOL.
I hope he takes her for all her "Waiting to Exhale" money. Equal rights mean alimony, babygirl! (according to wikipedia he's like Jamaican and 30 years younger...LOL...and laughing even louder).
Then she thanks the Editorial Board of the NY Times for "understanding who Mitt Romney is, and what this President has gone through" or some shit.
Then she tells Romney and Republicans, after accusing us of being Uncle Toms, racists, thieves, war-mongers, murderers (literally) that we should "get over ourselves". Yeah, great thing to tell people you've accused of murder, sweetmeat.
No wonder the Justice System is fucked up (and that your husband divorced you, fat wench).
Can you imagine the ranting if Romney pulls this out?
Dear Lord I know we don't deserve it but give us this one last chance. These people are crazy. They don't want to destroy the US, but they will, in their ignorance. Just listen to their words. And have mercy even if we're too smart for our own good. Who but us if not us? Who will save your creation?
Amen.

Problem is, "caring for the poor" is never described in the Scriptures as government confiscation of wages and property. It is never described as redistribution of wealth by government means. It is never described as anything other than a personal act done out of love for God and love for your neighbor.
I would postulate that the handing over of one's personal responsibility to care for the poor and the sick over to a government bureaucrat is the exact opposite of what Jesus commands. Jesus never once mention government agencies when referring to Christian compassion.
Nevermind the fact that the government doesn't do a very good job at it. In fact I could make a good argument for the case that government creates more poverty than it alleviates.
