    You did not read the whole post did you?

    You are no better than any other heckling fascit loving liberal only trying to be disruptive and change the conversation with your child like behavior.

    The Fact of the matter is that the thought of Santorum who happens to be a true conservative scares the likes of people like you and heck.

    If Santorum wins; wouldn't that be a setback for all of you occupy fascists?

    Geez, first I'm a liberal now I'm a facist. You guys just love name calling, huh?

    I've said a bunch I don't want someone in office that takes the Bible too seriously, and by equating gay sex to bestiality, I am guessing Santorum does (Plus he's a conservative). So I guess in that sense I would be a little bummed IF he won. That's a huge if too, thanks to reasons posted here that I am sure you didn't read or don't belive...

  • I suspect he's fine with gay marriage, but knows he couldn't be out front on this issue.

    But in better news:

    Riding a wave of momentum from his trio of victories on Tuesday Rick Santorum has opened up a wide lead in PPP's newest national poll. He's at 38% to 23% for Mitt Romney, 17% for Newt Gingrich, and 13% for Ron Paul.

    Part of the reason for Santorum's surge is his own high level of popularity. 64% of voters see him favorably to only 22% with a negative one. But the other, and maybe more important, reason is that Republicans are significantly souring on both Romney and Gingrich. Romney's favorability is barely above water at 44/43, representing a 23 point net decline from our December national poll when he was +24 (55/31). Gingrich has fallen even further. A 44% plurality of GOP voters now hold a negative opinion of him to only 42% with a positive one. That's a 34 point drop from 2 months ago when he was at +32 (60/28).

    Maybe he's running for governor of Massachusetts .....

  • Message to Romney, loud and clear - you get the nomination, you are pres, remember, you aren't Gov

    of Mass. land anymore. You have to be conservative, to undo all the damage that Obamao has done to our country.

  • Lol Cal.

    You're so funny.

    I'm not sure I can handle it

  • I don't think the Republican establishment is going to let Rick Santorum happen, but then again, I'm not sure the Republican establishment runs that party anymore.

    But we can dream, can't we? Yes, please, please nominate a candidate who doesn't believe in evolution, global warming, or birth control.

    Go, Rick, go.

  • What if we show Joe Sixpack that the inflation rate hasn't increased dramatically at all in the last three years? Seriously, what are you talking about? There is very little inflation in the economy right now, and there hasn't been any serious hints of inflation in the last three years.

    Here's a graph of inflation since Obama's taken office.

    In the last 100 years, our inflation rate averages about 3.38 a year. Last year it averaged 3.0 percent, or below average. In 2010, it was 1.63 percent. Also below average. In 2009, it was 2.63. Below average.

    Or as you call it, the "drastic increasing rate of inflation over the last three years."

    Also, the idea that people don't vote of social policy or other issues besides the economy is ridiculous. Voters don't vote on abortion? Wars? Gay marriage? Really?

    This has been Correcting Wingnuts With Facts. See you again next time.

  • And yes, nominating a candidate that doesn't believe in evolution will be a national embarrassment. Nominating a candidate that thinks global warming is a "hoax" will be an international embarrassment. And nominating someone who thinks birth control is wrong will be an electoral disaster.

    And you guys think that type of embarrassment is a plus. Because you're standing up for what's right!

    So seriously, go ahead. Nominate Rick Santorum. Those of us on the other side would like nothing more.

    i dont need a graph to show me inflation heck, i pay for it out of my wallet everyday and every week. groceries have doubled and gas has more than doubled.

    you can peddle yur propaganda to the dumb sheep

    lol

    science is wrong!

    polls don't show anything!

    facts are just liberal lies!

    anyone who disagrees with my is a dumb sheep!

  • It really is something, isn't it?

    It's okay. I didn't imagine that facts about inflation would change his mind about inflation. That's the hallmark of the new right, where reality is what you want it to be, and you can surround yourself with like-minded "news" sources that confirm what you already believe, and reject any source that might have actual facts.

    It's a real problem for our democracy. We're not living in the same realities anymore. It makes it tough to address problems.

  • Like this guy

  • One of O'Reilly's lowest moments. Honestly, who doesn't have at least some basic sense that the tides are caused by the pull of the moon/sun? Isn't that in 8th grade?

    Haven't we known this for about 500 years?

    At the same time, that guy is kind of a dick. Reducing all religious belief, or belief in God, into belief in a "scam" lacks a certain amount of, shall we say, understanding of religious belief. Are their religious scam artists? Of course. Are there lots of people trying to honestly wrestle with existential questions, the meaning of life, the existence of love, pain, suffering, joy, and God's place in it, or God's absence ...of course.

    Lumping them all into one category and filing it under "scam" takes a certain amount of close-mindedness.

  • Well put

    I mainly was posting that for the "How the F does the tide work" moment

    (See Mr T, I didn't swear 🙂 )

  • It is a classic.

    And was much lampooned at the time. He had to crawl in a little hole for a while.

  • Santorum now up 7 points on Romney in Michigan in the average of polls.

    This is hysterical.

  • well, how is it, Heck, that you didn't take Santorum seriously when I did? Odd, you are such an arrogant "know it all" ... THAT is histerical.

    Oh, and you'll really get a laugh out of this:

    Bunker is right. You cherry picked a graph that doesn't show a few matters. As usual.

    And, no, CNN is not a part of the "right wing attack machine" garbage you libs regularly resort to.

    I guess we should post the clip of Obamao saying "energy prices must go up"... but we've been there, done that.

    Unless your little Shep-like underline parrot Woody denies Obamao said it.....

    By historical standards, the latest consumer price index showing a 1.2% annual rise remains super low. But consumers are being hit with hikes to two key components that aren't included in that number -- gas and food. Consumer Growth Partners recently called the rise in grocery prices (6.5% in the first quarter) "the sharpest in a generation." And gas prices are pushing toward $4 a gallon. Including gas and food, the annual inflation rate is more than double the rise in the CPI.

    Even if systemwide inflation doesn't return in this election cycle, rising gas and food prices will be on the minds of voters. President Obama already faces an unemployment rate that has only recently slipped below 9%, worsened by long-term jobless rates unprecedented since World War II. The Congressional Budget Office now predicts an unemployment rate of 8.2% on Election Day 2012; no President since F.D.R. has been reelected with unemployment over 8%. (President Reagan, facing a similarly painful recession, was elected with a 7.2% jobless rate.)

    Add inflation to that mix and it could become a poisonous stew for Democrats. And we'll know the President is in real trouble if his staff starts handing out buttons.

  • the red font totally does it

    didn't you guys invent the term "liberal media"?

    there was a graph you posted awhile a go that showed unemployment over the last few years (bush and obama) and I used math to show you what it means... you should go review that again. They'll be a test on it later today

  • I guess we need to draw a line between candidates who actually believe church doctrine and those that just pretend to to fire up the ignorand superstitious voters in Illinois.

    So ya want a believer or a liar?

    Zealotry can be lust for power too.

    And most outspoken atheists seem to be dicks.

    Only some oome outspoken Christioans in my experience.

  • We need more engineers and scientists in government

  • Santorum now up 7 points on Romney in Michigan in the average of polls.

    This is hysterical.

    I told you that real conservatives will not vote for Romney. A red flag should go up when people like you love romney so much.

  • Yes, please, vote for Rick Santorum.

    From the liberal perspective, I don't know anyone who wouldn't rather have Romney as president in the even Obama loses. And that's why they hope Romney wins - because they think it'd be better for the country.

    But in order to make sure Obama doesn't lose, there's almost nothing we could hope for more than you guys nominating Rick Santorum.

    Either way, short of events changing the underlying dynamics, I don't see much of a way either Santorum or Romney beats Obama.
