@izzythepush,
I got no idea from where all that of hers anger derives.

@bobsal u1553115,
From being made to look daft, her vanity can't accept it.

When did everything go south???? Lash, I don't know who's sending you emails, but you shouldn't be so easily led. I'm very sad to see you take such a path, you make other Americans sound very limited. Perhaps you don't know how much talent it takes to learn multiple languages, and that's a pity because our national security depends on linguists as well as a number of other specialists who can interpret SIGINT. COMINT, FISINT and all the other INT's. I'm very disappointed in you.

@glitterbag,
I'm disappointed in you. You've jumped in at the ass end of me something you don't understand as evidenced by your comment.

No, I don't think she reflects on the rest of you, no more than Romeo reflects on us. Ignorance is universal.

@Lash,
It's a little hard trying to understand why people are buying into Trump's definition of elite, but following the disintegration of this thread you are sounding desperate, maybe hysterical. Apparently you're very angry and are slipping into broadside generalities. Try counting to ten before you react in such an intemperate fashion. But hey, if all you've got is cheap shots, enjoy your hissy fit.

More pontificating about Corbyn's lefty or progressive status.



They are saying the same things about mostly moderate Corbyn that they'll say about Bernie. Only the stodgy, uninformed conservatives will try to scare people away from them.

Betting the US follows suit.

@Lash,
pontificate - when someone other than izzy talks about British politics.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/the-jeremy-corbyn-policies-that-most-people-actually-agree-with-10407148.html

Corbyn, the lefty progressive who's in line with most Brits.

@Lash,
Maybe you can help me with politics in Maryland, Please, by all means, explain it to me. But while your are pondering what the situation is in Maryland, leave Europe to the Europeans. If you don't, you are only pontificating.

@glitterbag,
Stop pontificating. And you really shouldn't post when you're obviously falling down drunk. It's terribly unbecoming.

@Lash,
You're funny. Get to bed, you have young minds to shape tomorrow. Unless of course school is off for a holiday. As I said earlier, you're obviously angry, and you don't make any sense when you're angry, so stand down while you still have a sliver of credibility. Oh, and Im sitting down and I'm sober, are you?

Ben Carson’s approach to handling Donald Trump’s insults differs from every other 2016 Republican presidential candidate’s: He apologizes for provoking them.

“I said something that sounded like I was questioning his faith,” Mr. Carson said in an interview at a hotel here. “I really wasn’t. I was really talking more about mine. But it was said in an inappropriate way, which I recognized, and I apologized for that. It’s never my intention to impugn other people.”

****! That is perfect! I need to take another look at this guy.

Congrats Lash, near as I can recall you are one of only a very few women to ever earn a mob lynching here at A2K! That South African racist and a mouthy conservative are the only other two I can recall.

for Carson, steering clear of any confrontation helps him project the image he is trying to establish himself as “the anti-Trump.” Carson said he doesn’t know whether Trump will accept his efforts to make peace. “It will depend on what kind of person he is,” he told the Journal. And what kind of person does Carson think Trump is? “I don’t know … I guess we’ll find out.”

@Lash,
I dident consider you a friend of the masses till your hatred of Hillery forced you to give up your ultra conservative views to become a democrat because you saw this as the only way to keep Hillery from becoming a presidential contender. I still dont think you are a friend of the masses.

@Lash,
You just can't stop using that word can you? It's like a shiny new button. You don't understand British politics or Corbyn, and quoting the independent doesn't make it so.

Corbyn has an uphill struggle against the newspapers. Today's Sun front page.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CO0G2kiW8AA7sSk.png

Now, that's complete nonsense but it doesn't stop some people believing it. It doesn't matter whether or not people agree with policies like renationalising the railways when they're drip fed a diet of fear and half truths.

http://ak-hdl.buzzfed.com/static/2015-09/12/11/enhanced/webdr14/edit-2540-1442072558-2.jpg

And he's only been leader two days.

Let's just put this into context. On Saturday The Independent's circulation is 84,037. The Sun's is 2,207,429. During a weekday it's the following Independent 54,932 The Sun 1,802,945.

http://www.mailclassified.co.uk/advertising-tools/circulation-readership

Now, people who read the Independent tend to be well educated people who make an informed decision on how to vote. The Sun has a reading age of 7. What impact will a well researched article hidden in the pages of the Independent have on the public compared to the front page of The Sun which stands out of the newspaper rack and broadcasts its message even to those who don't read a paper?

The answer is obvious. Then there's the Mail, circulation 1,437,541 weekdays, 2,246,196 Saturday. This is today's front page.

http://ichef-1.bbci.co.uk/news/624/cpsprodpb/D9DC/production/_85527755_mail.jpg

Don't get me wrong, I am a lifelong Labour voter and will keep voting Labour, but just to assume that because a lot of Corbyn's policies strike a chord with the electorate he will be a shoo in is absurd.

He has an uphill struggle with the entire weight of the Media establishment against him. They finished off Michael Foot and Neil Kinnock.

In 1992 the Labour party under Kinnock were riding high in the polls. This is the Sun front page on the day of the general election.

http://img.thesun.co.uk/aidemitlum/archive/00931/SNN1801MAJO_280_931036a.jpg

John Major won with a slim majority and the Sun was quick to take credit. The front page the day after the 92 election.
