Yeah, yeah, liberals are devious and hide their true beliefs, the ones you truly know they hold even if they don't say it! So tell me, Kreskin, what exactly do I believe in that I'm "hiding"? This ought to be good for a few chuckles.
I have no idea, you rarely engage in actual discussion. Most of your posts as above are sarcastic with an emoticon added. Its not substantive. So one can only speculate.
I've engaged in enough discussion here in the last 14 months for you to discern my "true beliefs." Stop backtracking and own your idiotic theory.
Like I said, its mostly reflexive attacks on conservatives and defense of liberals. I have no idea, but its reasonable to suspect you lean left. Its all good man, just own it.

Of course I lean left, I've never said I don't. What the **** is your point?
His lean is Libertarian-Left. Are you incapable of reading?
The media did indeed almost ignore this election cycle. Of course the cable news networks spent more time here as they always do, but broadcast news did very little-I think they knew how it was going to turn out.
My bigger point is that you dont argue issues. You make silly comments in response to them. Why not discuss ideas?
Read what, the label he himself was just lamenting?
And whey did they not want too. I'll tell you, democrats were so down on Obama and his policies, they did not want to vote for a demarcate so they stayed home. Their no show vote was actually a vote for the republicans.

If they had wanted to vote for a Republican, they would have shown up and voted for a Republican. The no-show vote was neither a vote for Democrats or Republicans. The idea that a no show is a vote for the Republican is asinine.
According to ABC Exit polling 37% who voted where Democrats vs. 34% who where Republicans. Compare that to Party affiliation numbers of 26% Republican and 30% Democrats nationwide with the rest being independents and 3rd Party members, it was the Independents who stayed home in the larger number. 42% of the electorate identify themselves as independents, yet they made up only 29% of the vote last Tuesday. It was the independents that stayed home, not the major parties as they made up 37% and 34% of the vote Tuesday.
I am very interested to find out the total vote breakdown by party once it is accumulated.

I wished I could have thanked you twice :mrgreen:
I remember when Chavez organized a free dental project for the poor in Venezuela , many of whom had never seen a dentist before. Some well to do Venezualans had no problem embracing a little bit of chavismo during that time and also visited the dentists in the programme.
I assume that when their tooty pegs where gleaming in the sunlight coming through the boardroom window they returned to their previous animosity :lol:
That's more or less what I was saying. Yep, the independents definitely stayed home. I don't think either party can count their not voting as a vote for them.
Any thoughts on why Independents sat this one out? They could have voted either way, and it is interesting to see that they didn't bother. :think:

Gruber: Stupidity of Americans Would Have Killed Obamacare | The Daily Caller“This bill was written in a tortured way to make sure CBO did not score the mandate as taxes. If CBO scored the mandate as taxes, the bill dies. Okay, so it’s written to do that. In terms of risk rated subsidies, if you had a law which said that healthy people are going to pay in – you made explicit healthy people pay in and sick people get money, it would not have passed… Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really really critical for the thing to pass… Look, I wish Mark was right that we could make it all transparent, but I’d rather have this law than not.”
Megyn Kelly, Marc Thiessen Slam Video of ObamaCare Architect Gruber Admitting 'Lack of Transparency' | Fox News Insider“Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical for the thing to pass,” Gruber said in the video.
“If it takes lying to us to get what they want done, they’re willing to do it,” Thiessen said.
Thiessen described Gruber as so condescending that “he actually wrote a comic book to explain ObamaCare because of course we’re not smart enough to read chapter books.” Thiessen noted that the book describes the individual mandate as “the spinach we have to eat in order to get the dessert that is fairly priced health insurance. “
Megyn Kelly said that she invited Gruber back on the show to defend himself tonight, but he said he wasn’t interested.
“You know what? We’re no longer interested in you, Mr. Gruber, and 28 Democrats who voted for that health care law just got fired by the American people because eventually they realized they had been lied to […] one by one, the misrepresentations have come out and the American people have had their say."

And where would that be ? Where are Liberal policies working effectively ?
Sure isn't here ? Or Europe, or Japan.
No, the election was a repudiation of all the hare brained left wing " solutions " and policies that have been pushed down Americas throat since 2008.
And yes, there are allot of intelectuals who're Liberals. I have some in my Family.
Their being " intellectuals " doesn't negate the failure of the ideology and the policies they promote.
They share their views with like minded intellectuals and live in a alternate reality, a bubble of their own making.
My response pointed out the silliness of your position and you've given me pure hyperbole as a counter.This is a simple and reflexive counter to my comment. Top down, one size fits all, do it or pay a fine or meet g-men with guns isn't the solution. Never was.
You're currently living in a country that has a record high stock market index and below 6% unemployment because of aspects of central planning.Because central planning has worked so well in the past...
Actually no, its been a disaster.
You got a slight majority of a 37% turnout which is a record low. 19% of the population thinks you're the best choice. That seems presumptuous to take as a mandate about anything other than apathy and cynicism.You're in serious denial. We didn't win. You're kidding right.

Both parties got a minority of support from the population. The population didn't feel compelled to support either party.The first time around Obama got a shellacking, as he called it. Now the bomb went off, republican governors control 32 states, the house now holds the most seats dating back to the 1920's, the senate is securely in the hands of the republicans. Further all across the country in local elections more seats went to the republicans not democrats.
Spin the numbers all you want. People love a president that leads and who signs good legislation, neither of which has taken place over the last 6 years.
If 19% of the population think republicans are the best choice then I would sure hate to see what they think of you liberals. You lost remember.
Run the numbers all you want, but all you have to do is look at the vote count. Republicans won hands down over democrats and the win was across the board from governors, to the senate being taken over, to the house gaining more seats and in local state races republicans won the majority of the time. This is not the first shellacking under Obama's failed presidency but instead of a shellacking the atom bomb went off this time. But anything to find an excuse that losing was not because of failed policies.
I generally agree, and hope and change did eventually become nope and blame. But Obama is perhaps the most liberal president in modern US history. One thing he has always attempted to do, is make himself appear above the fray, as if he's not interested in getting dirty, all the while he's covered in mud. THAT is certainly fatiguing to me but his policies have proven unpopular as well, and what are they if not "liberal" policies?
