As GOP convention kicks off, Obama still favorite
With the 2012 Republican Convention about to open its doors, here’s how the race shapes up at the moment, based on RealClearPolitics’ poll average:
In other words, too close to call. The investors at Intrade still make Obama the favorite, with 55.8 percent of dollars invested favoring the incumbent and 43.7 percent predicting a Romney victory. At fivethirtyeight.com, Nate Silver predicts a 2.4 percentage point margin for Obama come Nov. 6, with a 69.3 percent chance of an Obama re-election.
And according to Gallup, 58 percent of Americans believe Obama will be re-elected, compared to 36 percent who predict a Romney victory. Among Democrats, 86 percent predict victory for Obama, while Republicans are less confident in their champion, with just 65 percent predicting that it will be Romney raising his hand to take the oath of office in January.
Still a long way to go, including debates. But at this point Obama is showing strength, especially considering how poorly he should be doing as predicted by models that focus solely on the economy.

“This country is has never, ever, been worse off than during your administration.”
Poor Donovan, another Republican suffering from Bush Amnesia Disease, (BAD).
BAD is such a horrible, horrible disease that completely wipes out the 8 Bush years from their memories.
Luckily Bush has been quarantined and is not allowed in Florida during the convention because this terrible disease is highly contagious.
Sadly, there is no cure.

If Jesus were a Republican:
The Lazy Paralytic
…. The disciples had never seen Jesus so angry about his possessions. He continued, “This house is my life. And the roof is the best part.” The disciples fell silent. 7. “It’s bad enough that you trash my private property, now you want me to heal you?” said Jesus, “And did you not see the stone walls around this house?” “Yes,” said the man’s friends. “Are these not the stone walls common to the towns and villages of Galilee?” 8. “No,” Jesus answered. “This is a gated community. How did you get in?” The man’s friends grew silent. 9. Then Jesus turned and said to the paralytic, “Besides, can’t you take care of your own health problems? I’m sure that your family can care for you, or maybe the synagogue can help out.” 10. “No, Lord,” answered the man’s friends. “There is no one. His injuries are too severe. To whom else can we go?” 11. “Well, not me,” said Jesus. “What would happen if I provided access to free health care for everyone? That would mean that people would not only get lazy and entitled, but they would take advantage of the system. 12. Besides, look at me: I’m healthy. And you know why? Because I worked hard for my money, and took care of myself.” The paralyzed man then grew sad and he addressed Jesus. “But I did work, Lord,” said the paralytic. “Until an accident rendered me paralyzed.” “Yes,” said the man’s friends. “He worked very hard.” 13. “Well,” said Jesus, “That’s just part of life, isn’t it?” “Then what am I to do, Lord?” said the paralytic. “I don’t know. Why don’t you sell your mat?” 14. All in the crowd then grew sad. “Actually, you know what you can do?” said Jesus. “You can reimburse me for my roof. Or I’ll sue you.” And all were amazed. 15. “We have never seen anything like this,” said the crowd.

Keep – No – informed something you should try. If you don’t let all of the Bush/Obama (let’s be honest, they are as much his as Bush’s now that he kept them when he had the super majority) tax cuts expire, the effect is minimal. The key to revenue growth is to have more participation (the proposals to let the cuts expire for only the upper level income taxpayers is dishonest and reduces the impact by 2/3’s). The debt belongs to all of us, Democrat as well as Republican, black or white, working or not.

2- What Love of Country has he instilled in his Sons to make them willing to share the fight in Iraq/Afghanistan?
3- Does he really have any convictions? He has changed his position on about every issue there is.
4- Why did his company make millions while shutting down plants? Reckon he could have spared some to help the displaced workers?
5- His tax returns have an ugly side he is deathly afraid of us seeing.
6- How did he amass an IRA of 20-100 million?
7- Why does he want to eliminate Capital Gains taxes? Is he looking for a 0% tax rate for himself and friends.?
8- If you think he is interested in the well being of the rank and file American, you’re missing the mark. He only wants the title and $ associated with it.

If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.
If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A Democrat wonders who is going to take care of him.
If a Republican doesn’t like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Democrats demand that those they don’t like be shut down.
If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn’t go to church.
A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.
If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.

As a reminder, Obama had to agree to extend all of the Bush tax cuts in exchange for getting the Senate to ratify the start treaty. Such ratification requires 2/3 votes. Republicans wanted to ratify it anyway, but they were willing to kill it if necessary to protect the Bush tax cuts. In other words, tax cuts for the wealthy came before national security.

Just like that Pennsylvania Turnpike incident when it was deemed that the PA Highway Patrol was stopping more black drivers for speeding that other ethnic groups. Lots of people lost their jobs over that, the state Director of the PA HP and many more because of political correctness. A followup study was interesting. It found, to no one’s surprise, that all of the speeders were zapped with radar guns at close to 400yds out. At this distance, it was impossible to see who was driving or to determine what ethnic group they belonged to. Turns out that more black speeders were stopped because more blacks were speeding. Duh.

Jefferson regarding his fear of government:
“The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. ”
“I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.”
Jefferson regarding his particular brand of faith in God:
“The god who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them.”
“Say nothing of my religion. It is known to God and myself alone. Its evidence before the world is to be sought in my life: if it has been honest and dutiful to society the religion which has regulated it cannot be a bad one.”
“I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just.”

If you haven’t done so already, try to get hold of your insurance agent to confirm coverage response parameters and clarify your resposibilites if you get hit….
Probably drill you’ve already been thru but agents can often help prior to the loss before they screw you afterward..do you have both wind and flood cover?

Debbie DR got suspended because she got carried away?
I didn’t know their was spy cams on the computers- too much to drink and starting dancing on her desk? Give the young lady a break- Auburn Clemson around the corner. In vote for less austerity and to allow her back in.
Can I hear a motion?

Mama:
We “assert” our rights against government because they were already there as given by our Creator.
I “man” makes up the rights …………. the we get entities like Nazi Germany.
And if you disagree with me that’s fine ……………… it just illuminates the difference between you and me.

TAMPA, Fla. — The Romney campaign said on Tuesday that its ads attacking President Obama’s waiver policy on welfare have been its most effective to date. And while the spots have been roundly criticized as lacking any factual basis, the campaign said it didn’t really care.
“We’re not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact-checkers,” Romney pollster Neil Newhouse said at a panel organized by ABC News.

I know you love that analogy, but Obama does not have the 35% approval rating that Carter had and you are well aware that Romney is not Reagan

0311/8541/5811/1811/1801 you do know Jefferson was a secularist…right. It’s writings indicate that he wanted freedom FROM religion as much as freedom of religion. “Say nothing of my religion. It is known to God and myself alone.” Just what did he mean by that. Jefferson clearly wanted religion and government to be totally separate entities and not co-joined. He clearly understood the tyranny of religion when practiced over zealously.

If a Republican reads this, he’ll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.
A Democrat will delete it because he’s “offended”.
Well, I forwarded it.

“Common sense when I hear some idiot say birth control should be illegal you damn right it affects me and every other woman in this country. If that day ever comes every woman should just close the store and you and Rick Santorum to play with each other.”
You are very classy Rosita. So having to pay for your own birth control is making it illegal? Even if that includes you choice of abortion as birth control?
We are not here to pay for your poor choices….

ragnar forgot one:
If a Republican has issues with sex, he tries to regulate everyone else’s sexual and reproductive behavior.
If a Democrat has issues with sex, he phones a friend and they work through it.
You’re welcome, cultist.
