U r trying to out-cynic me.
We do our best to identify the real thing
by meticulous analysis of his words and deeds.

Sometimes it shows thru and is proven by experience.

It showed through when Mr G told the gun lobby that they are the last bastion of freedom and that the right to bear arms has any meaning nowadays outside of wasting money on "bang bang".

What was anachronistic rubbish Dave was the idea that the arms the citizens bear can protect them from the Government
if push comes to shove and that freedom can be guaranteed by them doing so.

What if obama suspended elections because he expects to lose??
There r over 3OO,OOO,OOO of us
and relatively fewer of them.

Freedom meant something different in the old days.

What is your perception of the distinction ?

I didn't condemn the right to bear arms. Nor would I.
I questioned Mr G. milking it sentimentally and suggested he was
insulting his audience's intelligence. Four F-16s could cut New York off from supplies in short order.

He coud have done worse; advocated surrender to liberalism.
I don 't recommend that at NRA conventions.

When I was 18, New Orleans was my number one place to visit. I have seen it, and thought it was pretty swell, although I'm glad I didn't come across you inhaling nitrous oxide, and weilding a six gun.

I tried to swipe that as a sig line. Too many characters, and not willling to edit.

There will be a slew of new polls early next week. Polls are, as we have discussed before, mere snapshots.
I have gone for a very limited number of recent polls, taken after the Cain thing.
Most of them are of self-described Republican "Likely Voters." These are, presumably, people following the campaigns more closely then, for example, "Adults."
Iowa: Newt (31%), Mitt (17%), Ron Paul (17%)
New Hampshire: Mitt (35%), Newt (23%), Ron (14%)
South Carolina: Newt (37%), Mitt (18%), Ron (5%)
Florida: Newt (45%), Mitt (25%), Ron (5%)
Nationally: Newt (36%), Mitt (21%), Ron (8%).
Romney is way ahead in the money. But the Gingrich surge will narrow that and, when you look at the numbers above, he will have to spend a lot to put up respectable numbers and, critically, not lose in NH.
On the other hand, the Gingrich candidacy could implode and Romney could rebound.

reply to a rjb post of 12/1 -

I'll bring the dips..

Y'know, I'd never abide watching a gop debate on my own, but could do it with company. That's not all anti gop, I can't abide watching the dems either.
But I don't have a tv, catch up by online print, where words look even worse in sequence.
Oh, wait, you don't either!
I don't even have a green room.

Clock runners - is that another word for candidates?

@realjohnboy,

From what I've been hearing, the republican party isn't supporting Newt. If that's the case, how can he remain on top?

@cicerone imposter,

My word! If he's doing this well without party support, I wonder how far he will go with it. I assume he will have it if he wins the primary.

@roger,

The Republican "establishment" prefers a more centrist candidate, like Romney. But there isn't a whole lot they can do to make that happen.
I, a liberal Democrat, am probably not the right person to ask about the internecine warfare within the Republican party.

@roger,

This was September 30, 2011:

Quote:

A recent Gallup survey shows that, among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, Herman Cain has the highest net favorability rating of anyone in the current GOP presidential field. Cain’s net favorability rating among those who are familiar with him is +62 points (77 percent hold a favorable opinion of him, while 15 percent hold an unfavorable opinion).

What goes up can come down as fast - or faster.

@realjohnboy,

These polls really are meaningless.

Once a candidate starts to win primaries the polls change.

Gingrich will implode. It's only a matter of whether he does it during the nomination process or during the general election.

@djjd62,

I've read you say this many times, djjd. Do you know any people trying to affect change in politics personally? You're welcome to hold your bitterness, which is for good reason, I get it, but it depresses me that you cut out any semblance of hope.

I suppose hope is an annoying word.

@djjd62,

I don't have a real problem with what you're contending as long as all the politicians get the same swiftness in the kicks to their head.

@Finn dAbuzz,

If polls are as useless as you suggest, why is it that candidates all the way down to the race for county dog-catcher spend money on them?

I love it. Thay treated me like a King there,

I woud not have injured u.
The last time I met an Englishman, he said that he was 1O years old.
He was distributing free plastic top hats c.7PM near the English Pavillion
at Disney World in Florida, on New Year's Eve. I pretended to believe
that he was selling them and gave him a $1O bill.
He exclaimed: "Ten Dollars?!!?" and I faked that I thawt
that he was offended at so low a payment.
I said: "You 're right. I 'm sorry" and gave him an additional $2O bill,
so that is not consistent with injuring Englishmen.
(That was out of HEDONISM, not charity.)

It has been against my practices to inhale nitrous oxide.
I have successfully avoided it. I do not wield my guns
in the absence of predatory emergencies. So, if u don't cause any trouble . . .
(There is a colorful display of fireworks in my naborhood,
from St. John's University, even tho there is a lite rain.)
