Anyone voting tomorrow ?
- Thread starter Humpy
- Start date
I am voting for Alex Sink, because no way I am gonna vote for an Enron type crook to have access to our coffers.
I would not be voting for Alex Sink if someone better on the Repub side, but no way in hell will I vote for Rick Scott.
That would be like voting for Jeff Skilling or Kenneth Lay for governor. I cannot believe that Rick Scott is the best that the Republican party can trot out.

Your obsession with me is reaching unhealthy levels,seek help.
Coming from you thats a compliment .
LMAO!!!! So you think I should answer your question that you posed without answering mine in your lame attempt to deflect it? You're also an endless source of hypocrisy.
For the THIRD TIME Gayfly... why do you care what David Stockman says about the Right? You're Canadian. Is your life that empty?

Quote from Gayfly:
There is no hypocrisy on my part .I posted polls that showed those with with college degrees and advance degrees supported President Obama.
I am college educated,but English was not my best subject nor is it my first language.I never claimed to be a genius or an expert in the English language.
BTW,you don't have to be an expert in the English language to be educated or to have a college degree

Sarah Palin stands by made-up word 'refudiate,' compares self to Shakespeare
Refudiate is not a word â at least, not one that appears in the dictionary. But donât try telling former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. Sheâs been dropping refudiate bombs all over the place lately, and sheâs not about to give up.
Last week, Palin went on Sean Hannityâs Fox News show to claim that itâs âdivisiveâ for the NAACP to call out racist elements in the Tea Party movement. (See the clip below.) Her I-know-you-are-but-what-am-I argument built to this stirring conclusion: â[The Obamas] could refudiate what it is that this group is saying. They could set the record straight.â Liberal bloggers LOLâd at her word choice, but then she did it again yesterday. In a since-deleted tweet, Palin wrote, âGround Zero Mosque supporters: doesnât it stab you in the heart, as it does ours throughout the heartland? Peaceful Muslims, pls refudiate.â After much Twitter mockery, she erased the tweet, re-posting new versions that used actual words like reject and refute instead of the one she made up. Yet she followed this with another tweet defending her imaginary word: ââRefudiate,â âmisunderestimate,â âwee-weeâd up.â English is a living language. Shakespeare liked to coin new words too. Got to celebrate it!â
After I finished cracking up at the idea of Sarah Palin comparing herself to Shakespeare, I had to admit: Sheâs kinda right. Languages evolve organically. The only reason you understood the noun tweet in the last paragraph is because somebody made up that sense of the word a couple of years ago. And at least in this writerâs opinion, refudiate isnât even the worst part of Palinâs original tweet, a cynical effort to stoke ugly anti-Muslim sentiment. Blogger Jay Smooth posted a similar take on Twitter: âIf Sarah Palin used all the right words, the idea expressed would still be just as wrong. So I refudiate this judgmentation of her wordery.â
So the question really is: As far as made-up words go, where does Sarah Palinâs refudiate stand? Itâs not quite as versatile as George W. Bushâs classic misunderestimate or Will-Ferrell-as-Bushâs even more classic strategery, but I think this verb has potential. Let us know what you think of refudiate, and while weâre at it, tell us your favorite fake words of all time.
