Oh yeah, but there are some that I agree with sometimes. For example; "Hand me those dikes!" The name for this tool never had anything to do with the slang term for lesbians. It is a contraction of the name diagonal cutters, or "diags" that became pronounced "dikes". But in this case...

OTOH, there are also those common terms that are absolutely racist/degrading and always have been, but people don't seem to notice what they are saying. Shocks me every time. Cotton picker... Off the reservation... Calling brazil nuts, N***** toes... Jew something down... That's...

Never use the following common innocuous phrases: Pot calling the kettle black... Chink in someone's armour.. Call a spade a spade.... Nip it in the bud... I learned all these recently. Apparently, even though they have absolutely nothing to do with race (and never have), they...

This is certainly very troubling for him and the Dems in general. The latest Gallup state-by-state polling a couple months ago. This election is gonna be a full on dog fight!

AK, here is the polling sample demographics from the Quinnipiac Poll you posted. See anything wrong with the sample? From the posted list, The Reuters, Pew, and ABC polls are the same thing. Consistently overweight Democrat participants by 6-11 points. The only one on your list that I...

Yep, that is exactly what I was talking about here.. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=241076 Evenly distributed polling samples already gives Romney a +5 lead. If Morris is right, then Romney leads by at least 10-points right now.

None of it has anything to do with anything for either candidate. But nonsense is like a boomerang. if you start throwing out nonsense, you get similar nonsense back. I'll say it again... anyone who's spent any time in Asia has almost certainly eaten dog. And anyone who lives in rural...

In literally every poll that has Obama ahead right now, and even many of the ones that have him behind. This is the posted poll from today. Here is the polling demographics that you have to link to in the small print. Why does the poll have a +6% weighting of Dems vs Repubs? And...

question for you guys. I really don't know the answer. If a CCW permit holder pulls his weapon for one reason or another, and another person engages him in an effort to confiscate the weapon, and the gun discharges resulting in a death. Is it manslaughter because he drew his weapon and it...

IMO, that is a bold statement when we don't yet have all the facts. There isn't any evidence yet that Zimmerman came at Martin with his gun drawn. There is a lot of evidence so far that supports the idea that he didn't even draw his gun until he was in a struggle on the ground, and the most...

I wasn't saying one way or the other. I've stated a number of times that Obama will outspend Romney 3 or 4 to 1. In fact, I believe that he will have to do it for the exact same reason that Romney had to in the primaries. If your actual record dissatisfies the voting electorate, then you only...

Just to clear something up. When we talk about fundraising, are we only talking about money directly contributed to each campaign? Or are we including super pacs?

Sorry but almost 100% of this post is nonsense. 1) How do you "crack down" on a legal act. Oil is a commodity. If there are a lot of people thinking the price will be higher in the future then they are going to drive it higher now in anticipation. We should crack down on all those...

Romney IS the middle of the road candidate. That is precisely why conservatives have a hard time with him. BTW, THEY ALL pander just as much as Romney. The only ones who don't have never come close to winning.

Pretty much common knowledge at this point. "Z" was 250lbs back in 2005, but it is obvious that he's lost a bunch of weight since then when you look at current photos and video clips. Police reports put "M" at 6' and 160lbs. "Z" is listed at 5'7" 170-175lbs. A 10-15lbs weight difference...

That would depend on whether the democrats still maintained control of the south. :D

I'd rather see the emergence of a stronger third party. Libertarianism seems to be the best fit right now. Dem = socially liberal and fiscally liberal GOP = Socially and fiscally conservative Libertarian = Socially liberal and fiscally conservative. IDIOCY = socially conservative and...

I would agree that whether Rubio is legally eligible isn't the issue. For the GOP, they don't want anything that would take the focus off the economy. Dems are frantically trying to keep the focus on contraception and womens' rights. Rubio's eligibility and ties to mormonism provide easy...

I would argue that you are correct only because of the extremists in both ideologies. Other than maybe during the civil war, this has to be the most polarized era in US politics. I view left and right in much the same way that I view executive and judicial. Sometimes they work toward a...

Are we not willing to consider the idea that the existence of both "right" and "left" is necessary to prevent the undesirable aspects of either ideology from running amok?
