On a lighter note, a pollster's observation of a
Posted: Oct 10, 2012
From E. J. Dionne in the Washington Post: "I was talking with an old friend who is with one of the nonpartisan polling outfits (and who also happens to be a very good and fair-minded pollster). We were discussing the large shifts in some of the polls on the presidential election and the feedback he receives whenever he puts out new numbers that make one side or the other unhappy. He offered an observation so priceless that it needs to be widely shared.
'When you give conservatives bad news in your polls, they want to kill you,” he said. “When you give liberals bad news in your polls, they want to kill themselves.' ”
E. J.'s keeping the name of this guy to himself to protect him from more phone calls. :)

Long-time Democrat Pollster And Staunch Clinton Defender Says Oct 30, 2016
Doug Schoen dropped this bombshell on Fox this evening. He explained that it's a matter of governance and stability. In his view, Hillary Clinton would not be able to govern because of the ongoing slough of criminal investigations and likely indictment or indictments that would cripple a Clinton presidency at a time when the nation is in crisis both domestically and internationally. Anyone who's followed Schoen knows this is a very significant indicator of how the revival of Clinton ...
Just An ObservationJul 16, 2012
I, just on an off chance, was in a position to watch a bit of the Huckabee Show last night. Coincidentally he had four doctors on his show, from various areas of expertise and from various areas across the country. He had them on his show to ask them their ideas and observations concerning Obamacare and how it will affect their practices. All of them were "private practice" physicians, not associated with any large hospitals. All of them said that if Obamacare was passed, ...
Just An ObservationAug 12, 2012
Democrats had control of congress during the last 2 years of Bush's administration. Democrats had total control of congress and the WH during the first 2 years of Obama's administration. Can someone please explain to me why it is the republicans fault that the democrats didn't get anything accomplished during the time they had control? Sorry to say but this whole "republicans are obstructionists" argument just doesn't jive with me. If the president and ...
Just A Quick ObservationFeb 18, 2011
How many posts did we see about the tea party protests and how they claimed to be racist as well as inciting violence? Now we have these unions workers protesting in WI with the governor sporting Hitler's mustache and several posters that could be taken as inciting violence....and yet I don't see anyone pointing that out. Why is that? ...
It's Been My Observation This WeekMar 26, 2010
that we, as a group of people that come to this site, are as varied as they come. We are all passionate about our beliefs, values. I have not seen yet one person that has changed their mindset on anything due to something that another poster said.This weeks hot topic of course is the health care system. Some here are so dead set against it that it scares me, as well as those that are so set in favor of it. Why does it scare me? Both sides are so set in their thinking that I honestly believe that ...
Smoking ObservationJul 13, 2010
that I people I know who can least afford it are the ones who smoke, yet tell me they can't afford Chantix or other means to help them quit? It appears at least where I live that the people in the lower socioeconomic levels are the ones who are more likely to smoke. Is it that way where you live? Do you think it has anything to do with income level or educational level? Just curious for different opinions. ...
An Observation On RomneyOct 29, 2012
Every time he speaks, he inserts his smarmy little scripted catch-phrases (usually badly in the context) and it's obvious he's been coached and coached and coached and coached and he still doesn't quite get it. The man is an empty suit. There's no depth, no sincerity, no real grasp there. It's really quite disconcerting. ...
Some Observation About Beck And An ArticleNov 25, 2009
I'll be the first one to say if you don't like someone (Beck, O'Reilly, Olberman or Mathews, etc), just turn the channel. I don't like to see anyone shut down because I don't like them, but came across this article I found interesting. I do watch him (not every day, but I do catch his show if I'm not working), but today I think about did it for me. Like I say I have nothing against him, and I am glad that he is getting some of the information he shares ...
Another Observation On The Politics BoardSep 20, 2012
I have been thinking how boring and pointless this Board has gotten in the last couple of months with the incessant Obama bashing and anything Democratic or liberal. I noticed that apparently I am not the only one thinking this because next to each post there is the counter that says how often a post is viewed. I notice that most original posts barely get over 50 hits and most secondary posts get maybe 10 to 25. I did a random search of the achives and found that th ...

When my state voted on whether or not to be a right-to-work state, I had so many democrats yells at me and tell me that if I didn't like unions, I should look for a job elsewhere. Well...how about this. If ya'll don't like that Catholic institutions don't provide birth control, you should look for a job elsewhere. Just a thought. ;) ...

On A More Serious NoteJul 31, 2016
To those of you who favor Trump and are newspaper subscribers, please look and see if George Will's column is in today's paper. I don't think his conservative credentials can be questioned. He is asking what DT's connections are to Putin and whether DT has business interests in Russia. The only way we will know this is by DT releasing his personal and business tax records. This is very important and even Trump supporters should be interested in getting ...
A Note From Nov 13, 2013
What we said was; If you think I was being honest with you about health care, you're naive, I only said that you could keep your health care and your doctor to sucker you into voting for me.... PERIOD. I am sorry you are now stuck in this circumstance, but it was more important to get your vote than it was to actually care about your health coverage. Soon you too can go to health care .gov and give your personal data to a hacker or to some unscreened employee who has previously been in pris ...
Note To AllMay 02, 2015
If someone writes abiout politicians (no matter what party) and are criticizing politicians and issues, policies, etc it stays. Period! Quit reporting posts because you don't like what people with opposing views of yours write. When people post about what republican or democrats are doing they are obviously not talking about posters here. So to make it simple...if you comment or ridicule other posters on this board your post will be gone, if you talk about politicians, policie ...
A Note About DT From A Friend In NYSep 19, 2016
we have something called star..a reduction on property tax, (not a lot..but I'm not proud.)there is an income limit..$500,000...and then there is no eligibility! He was granted star twice in 2014( I think that may have been the year)..he said it was a clerical error...pure fantasy! He had to have applied for it, and then the city checks out the application, and then, in this case..he was granted the star credit! He had to show less than $500,000 income!! ...
Kind NoteJan 13, 2013
Hi all- I'm not wanting to start a big fight here, so that's not my purpose. I just want to address an issue that many people share. And would like thoughts on both sides. It's perfume (not including scented body sprays) users who use too much. This can easily happen to the wearer, particularly if you wear the same perfume every day. Your nose gets used to it, so you might be using more than you initially did and not even realize it. (Kind of like someone who smokes d ...
Note To ModeratorOct 23, 2014
If posters continue to call us Tbag, Tpub or whatever I say you allow us to call them Communitsts and Nazi's (at least that is more accurate). Many people are taking great joy in insulting conservatives by calling them Tbags, Tpubs or referring to conservatives as teabaggers (then acting innocent as if they didn't know this was insulting). This is not true. Not all conservatives belong to the tea party. They need to get it correct too. If they want to refer to ...
On A Happier NoteMar 28, 2016
I gained almost 40 pounds in the 19 years I have been working from home. Last summer I decided to do something about it. Took me til March, but I lost 30 pounds. I basically started eating a lot more veggies, less meat, and totally cut out my Double Stuff Oreos/chips/Hershey's Kisses which were my passion. I don't want to sound like I'm bragging, don't get me wrong, I just needed to share my news with someone. TIA ...

Note To Conservative PostersAug 17, 2017
If you are disgusted by the vile filth and disrespect from the left, but still want your voice heard and still want to read opinions of others and have rational discussions, there are other sites for such. I, for one, will be leaving this forum permanently. If you are not aware of another site, you may email me for information, but I fully understand if you don't. (I probably wouldn't email anyone anonymously on this site.) Bottom Line: Don't give up your beliefs and don ...

On Another Note, Biden And McConnell's Plan Dec 31, 2012
This was before Obama's speech. BTW, according to Sen. Corker, Obama wants to pay for the sequester cuts (and have them taken out of this new legislation) with the tax increase revenue and not reduce spending cuts already agreed to and not the deficit. Again, Obama doesn't know how to add or subtract. Taking in $80 billion and spending $60 billion does not give $80 billion towards spending reduction on the debt. This story has been updated. Vice President Biden and Senate Minor ...

On The 47% Recording, Note The Little Sneer In Romney's VoiceSep 18, 2012
on that word, as if we are not all entitled to draw when needed from the programs WE pay into that we set up specifically for US. Entitled and entitlement are not sneer words. They mean we paid for it and it's ours. But he's sneering anyway. Note that most safety net programs were created to keep people in temporary trouble from falling into a hole they can never climb out of. Getting sick. Losing a job. Losing all belongings in a natural disaster. Etc. Safety net. That's ...
