"Self-loathing". Seriously? Are you looking the mirror or something?

I've started a company from scratch, made a profit and sold it, and now own another. Love that capitalism

Who do you work for?

BTW Don't tap the glass, they (being Riot & Co.) think they'll win in a landslide. With the new recreation of Obama as Reagan?

Obama doing well in key states
http://publicpolicypolling.blogspot....ey-states.html

There's been a lot of good news for Barack Obama in the national polls lately and certainly that's important. But we still have this funny little electoral college so what's going to be most vital for his reelection prospects is how he does in the key swing states. And there's good news for him there as well.

So far we've done 2012 Presidential polls in 6 of the 9 states that George W. Bush won in 2004 but that Obama won in 2008. Obama leads 23 out of 24 hypothetical match ups that we've tested in those states.

Here's how it breaks down:

Obama vs. Gingrich
Florida +5
Iowa +13
Nevada +11
North Carolina +6
Ohio +6
Virginia +11

Obama vs. Huckabee
Florida +5
Iowa +4
Nevada +10
North Carolina -1
Ohio +1
Virginia +5

Obama vs. Palin
Florida +14
Iowa +16
Nevada +13
North Carolina +14
Ohio +7
Virgina +11

Obama vs Romney
Florida +2
Iowa +6
Nevada +1
North Carolina +3
Ohio +2
Virginia +5

Obama also wins Colorado.

Im fairly confident the Republicans will come up with something better. Im thinking they will if they take over the Senate in November's voting.

"But when it comes to, and David, perhaps what it is that you're suggesting in the question is should the GOP, should conservatives not reach out to others, not participate in events or forums that perhaps are rising within those forums are issues that maybe we don't personally agree with?"—on the inclusion of pro-gay groups in the CPAC conference, in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network, Feb. 4, 2011

all i can say to that bit, is....huh? thanks to slate for that tidbit of goo.

Danzig · #9 02-15-2011, 09:23 PM

or, here's this one, on egypt and mubarak.

"And nobody yet has, no body yet has explained to the American public what they know, and surely they know more than the rest of us know who it is who will be taking the place of Mubarak, and I'm not real enthused about what it is that that's being done on a national level and from D.C. in regards to understanding all the situation there in Egypt."—on President Obama's response to the turmoil in Egypt, in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network, Feb. 4, 2011

from slate...

Who do you work for?

You know who I work for. And I think you have capitalism and socialism all mixed up. I know you praised Clinton for furnishing you a educational loan and you hate your insurance co (at least your former ins. co.) hopefully. You want the government to offer you as well as anyone else even those who can't afford and those who have to be supplemented a health policy. You agreed with every bailout program ever imagined by Obama GM, Fannie/Freddie etc etc government involvement and now you love capitalism? That's about as funny as your christians v. muslims arguements.

And I think you are superficial and shallow in your political thinking, with no ability to realize nuance or try to resolve apparent contradiction, with little true understanding of the meaning of the words you use. The best you can do is pigeonhole into broad categories, on the most superficial and simplistic level.
