Bush supporters' aftermath thread

I don't know how many hits any site gets in a day, and that is not particularly important to me. I do know I am far more likely to find verifiable useful information on a conservative site than I am likely to find verifiable useful nfomration on a liberal site. The liberal sites seem to be mostly forums for bashing the United States, George Bush, anything to do with the military, anything to do with conservative beliefs or values, etc. You find very little there outlining liberal ideals or values and providing a rationale for them. Which is why the liberal sites, at least to me, are pretty boring.

I'm sure they are fascinating to those who have no more interest in politics, ideas, or values than to accuse or criticze something or somebody on the right.

Only thing that gets up my nerves is posters making blanket statements backed up by little fact and using them to hit each other over the head with.

That goes, foremost, for Fox blisfully declaring that one is "far more likely to find verifiable useful information on a conservative site than on a liberal site" and that "liberal sites seem to be mostly forums for bashing the United States [and] George Bush" (whereas "conservative sites", in the same kind of blanket generalisation way, I suppose consistently "outline conservative ideals or values and provide a rationale for them").

An ego thing - nimh is an able and indefatigible analytical statistician, one who's views, projections, and conclusions often have run counter to my own, though the pair of us largely have drawn on the same raw data. I believe the overall political developments over the period through which he and I have contested one another have afforded nimh more surprise and disappointmet than has been provided me by the same events. Case in point:

Foxfyre - please cut nimh some slack. Keep in mind the basic rule of mathematical modelling (the robustness of a model is proportional to its predictive value) and consider that not only did nimh's model get the US election wrong (as previously posted by Timber) but it also got the EU constitutional referenda wrong.

Models which reliably predict the opposite of the observed result have their uses, too!

As you pointed out, though, THIS is a thread for Bush supporters to rant, vent, praise, compliment or whatever we dang well please. If the lefties don't like it, they don't have to read it. They can take their weeping and gnashing to their own thread
