What happened to the "Unskewed" polls?
I just wonder. Will you still listen to Dick Morris? Or any of the other con men? Where are all the big mouths? Where is the Reagan landslide? I thought the polls over sampled dems and when "unskewed" should the "real" results. What happened to that? This site was full of political experts until an hour ago. Where did all of you go?

I guess my B.A. in political science, trumps your blog reading skills after all, huh. Who woulda thought?

Re: What happened to the "Unskewed" polls?
You were right.

We were wrong.

I fully concede.

I was under the false assumption America still existed.

I was wrong.

The welfare queens, homos, leeches, out of work college kids, trendies, commies, Occutards, Blacks, Latinos now outnumber anyone with common sense by a significant margin and they showed up at the polls today to vote for four more years of goodies and freebies.
 Quoting: Super Bowl Dave


Im not a welfare queen. Im not a homosexual. Im not out of work. Im white, 30 something, with a wife and two kids. Just face it. The people you listened to about the election are the same people you get your moronic talking points from and the same people who have convinced you that Obama is a bad president. These are the people who had you convinced that Romney would win in a landslide. Based on some idiotic assumption that all polls are systematically biased against Republican candidates. Which is utterly and completely false as evidenced by todays results.

Here are the facts. Come tomorrow, those same idiots mentioned above, are going to begin telling you that Romney lost because he wasnt conservative enough. Which also is patently false. Romney ingratiated himself to the "tea-party" faction of the right until it was almost sickening. Going completely out of his way to prove that he was a "real" Republican. Not one of those sissy conservatives like Bush 41, or Dick Luger. You know the Republicans that the people with brains respect. And herein lies the problem. The Republican party has become totally out of step with where our nation is now, with respect to social issues and today women made them pay for it. Also, in a nation that(as you stated above not so eloquently), is becoming demographically more and more diverse. Has no message to appeal to minority voters and in fact, consistently takes positions that alienate themselves with minority voters.

You thought "America" still existed? What does that even mean? This plays into the whole, "Obama isnt one of us" narrative. Which is a concept that more and more republicans are going to begin to repudiate. Serious political parties dont spend their time chasing paranoid fantasies, about their opponents being born in another country. Or, questioning his stated religious beliefs. They tackle serious issues, with serious answers. So expect that the days of the Donald Trumps of the world, having influence in the republican party to be over.

Which brings me to the generalized extremism within the "tea-party" movement. Angry, middle aged, white guys. Upset that they are losing the dreamland from their false nostalgia. Angry enough to pull Romney so far to the right to secure the nomination, that he looked exactly like the extremist on social issues that Obama had painted him to be. Then when he did pivot, trying to moderate his tone, is was too late. He looked like the etch a sketch he was portrayed to be. So by pulling Romney so far to the right to satisfy themselves. The far right doomed Romney to fall into the trap that the democrats had carefully laid for him.

But im sure when Rush, or Beck, or whichever of the for profit instigators of non issue bullshit you pollute the air of your house with everyday. Tells you tomorrow what Ive just told you they would say. That Romney lost because he wasnt conservative enough to carry the tea party banner to victory. You will take your new marching orders and carry on. Holding the country back another four years and really demeaning yourself more than anything else. Because remember, they told you that the republicans were gonna win this election in a landslide. That it was in the bag. They gave you completely made up statistics to justify their insane ramblings. Only to find, it was all lies. So maybe, just maybe. You should find a new source of information and work harder at helping to moderate the message of your party. So that it can become viable and relevant in the 21st century.

i.e. Republican are never going to get your economic message across, as long as they maintain extreme positions on social issues. There arent enough white bible thumpers to win elections for the conservatives anymore. Time to try a new tact.

I agree with you.
The two party system is a limited choice.
Unfortunately the Man I voted for will not be able to do much considering the Reps still dominate the House.

Re: What happened to the "Unskewed" polls?
I did own up.

Americans chose, by a close margin, to go with continued socialism, diminishment and head-in-the-sand refusal to deal with the fiscal reality. They did have a choice, albeit the GOP didn't give them a great choice, but they had a choice.

Romney -- whatever you want to say about his failings -- did represent and symbolize a path of greater focus on getting the fiscal house in order, and probably represented in many people's eyes a path of pain. A path of restraint, cuts and tough decisions.

When the UI, disability, food stamps and welfare is free-flowing, it's hard for the dependent class to voluntarily cut off the spigot.

Although Republicans believe to their core their message is right and will resonate, the country has changed... it's decided, for one, Republicans failed them in the past, and two, it's time try out socialism.

When Obama talks about "you can trust what I say", I think that resonated... I absolutely BELIEVE Obama when he talks about what he talks about! I just absolutely don't agree with it!

People still remember Bush, blame him for the collapse, and they look at Romney and think, "What credibility do you have?" If Republicans had been fiscally consistent the last time they ran the show, this might be a different story. They preach fiscal conservatism, but they don't have credibility.

Democrats are just openly socialist -- spend, tax, redistribute -- and while I think it's fundamentally wrong and it will destroy America, Americans seem to have endorsed it.

I just wish our party -- even if it's in the losing column this time around and maybe into the future -- I wish we had credibility, at least. We just don't.

As for the Rape Is God's Will nutjobs we put up for Senate, that will get itself worked out. The social litmus test that seems to be the overriding decision in putting these clowns up has to give way to a focus on a fiscal principles litmus test. The social issues have to take a back seat -- not only are we losing those issues, they're not even relevant anyway, nor do they win elections.

I gave you credit for owning up above Dave. I have great respect for you for doing that. I also appreciate that you understand that these social issues are killing the republican party. As are the clowns like Limbaugh and Trump.

The republicans will find a coalition to help Obama govern. Publicly they may say no now. But it is in their best interest to cooperate now.

The repub pro zionist order has collapsed yet we should not sit on our laurels or do as i did today and smoke lots of weed.
btw weed is now legal in colorado and washington, i reside in color red/ colorado = red in spanish.
trippy.
anyways back on subject. fascism vs. communism will arise on our soil like never before, both will ignore common sense and it will be the destruction of what we know.
a new rep party will arise and a new dem party as well to counteract the increasing shit flinging.
two party system is broken, we need real change.

in short let us worry about our own shit for a few years instead of the world.
