It's funny how the NFL referee lockout makes the union haters show their real hypocricy.
Teachers' unions, NO!...NFL unions, YEAH!
Hypocrits!
NFL union is private
Sure it is.....with public money, think about it.
ADDITIONAL programming note:
Starting after October 15th 2012 . The MSNBC polls will suddenly show a dead heat race.
Gone will be the OBAMA lead in all the polls. Chuck Todd has a career to think about and keeping these Mythical polls out in the public that show these fantasy polling numbers will not what he wants "remembered" as his analysis of the 2012 election. The Race is 1% in the polls. NO one is using the 2008 models, that was a 100 year flood in voter turnout for democrats (and no one is going to GAMBLE their career on that happening again) . Using the 2010 model Romney is winning using 2004 Obama is up by 1%. Chuck's not stupid, he is just playing a cheerleader on TV but he has to take off the skirt and put down the pom pom's very soon.
CHUCK : I want credit as being the first to report your upcoming sudden shift in Polling in a few weeks ok. I let you get by with claiming it was the debates but i still want the credit for calling it today.
MY name is Spelled JOSHUA W. MORRIS on Sept 26th 2012 ..
Looks like you've fallen pray to the republican talking point. The polls are all wrong. When you don't have any facts to hang your hat on lie.
look it up cutie.. its called google!
current polling sample models. Don't be ignorant and don't be afraid. Then look as the RAsmussuen polling model and their numbers.
THEN google MSNBC reporting on the Scott walker race.. where they were saying the race was a dead heat. Chuck todd saying it was 50-52% for walker. You know they called that race for walker 49 MIN AFTER THE POLLS CLOSED.. dead heat my azz
but just google it
Joshua & Revenge - in your dreams and our country's nightmares!
Obama/Biden 2012
Just keep believing the polls are all wrong Revenge. No matter how many times you repeat that lie, it won't change the polls. But at leased it makes you feel better.
Obama at the Dim Con vention:
“So you see, the election four years ago wasn’t about me. It was about you. My fellow citizens, you were the change.”
Yup, you chumps were the change alright:
23 million unemployed
43 straight months of 8+% unemployment
45 million on food stamps
Black poverty at record highs
The middle class has lost 33% of its net worth under Obama
Black youth unemployment over 50%
Hispanic unemployment at 10.3%
Illegals due to receive roughly $7.4 billion through Obama's Additional Child Tax Credit.
Food prices up 15% under Obama
Gas prices doubled under Obama
Obama has the worst job creation record since 1945
Obama recovery the worst in 75 years
Median household income $4,300 declines under Obama
Average family health insurance up $1,500 under Obama
Added $6 trillion to our debt...more than all Prezs. Combined
Presided over only US credit downgrade
Over 100 million people on some form of means tested welfare
Obama's Failed policies hurt 100% of Americans
These liberal polling agencies had kerry winning by a landslide in the 2004 presidential elections exit polls. Who won 2004? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm oh here it is BUSH! So far all the polls that have obama ahead have sampled more dems than reps.
Isn't it POTUS and not PODUS!
That just goes to show most if not all the republicans don't have a clue what their talking about chilled, their just following the talking points.
facts are facts the only two reliable polls rasmuesen and gallop have it tied bud
Reliable because they are right wing!
I saw this today. This is so depressing. The only way Obama could have won back my vote was to show me how he planned to work better WITH congress this time around. But no, his plan is to say "they picked ME, so you HAVE to do what I WANT!!" Depressing.
It's time to STOP TRYING TO TEACH THE OTHER SIDE A LESSON, at our expense, for BOTH parties.
Romney/Ryan 2012 - A New Hope
NorCal - so instead of working on the problem - the Republicans who vowed to block everything President Obama attempted to do, you'll vote for Romney? You clearly are part of the problem.
Obama/Biden 2012
Seeking Sanity, I believe it takes two to tango. And I think that it's just as presumptuous of you to assume that half of America is the problem, as it is presumptuous of Romney to assume that half of America is the problem.
The problem is the inability to work together.
Romney/Ryan 2012 - A New Hope
Do I hear the 'fat lady'warming ?
its not over till its over and alot could happen in the next month but with reports coming out like Ryan referanceing Romney as the S...k and the ovious lack of cheers when Romney tries to get a romney /ryan chant going. Pitty enters my heart.
Alas his coming from a religion that views helping the poor as a sacred duty. i have to ask how could anybody run aginst his own greatest accomplishment as Governor?. but again even an apostle heard the cock crow trice.So maybe its a good thing afterall, to support Obamma care. that Obamma care was upheld over the incopentance of its appointed defender. I think hevenly faather smiled on that one.
It is time for another "Bone Chilling" episode of "Darth Rove. AKA. Karl Rove. The GOP/RNC "Master of Madness and Misinformation. Little "Darh Rove" is very excited today because his best friend Ahmadinejad the President of Iran is coming to visit his "Chamber of Horrors." Progressive Power Productions now presents todays episode of "Darth Rove!"
THE SECRET OIL ALLY
Scene One opens with "Hoaky Hannity." "Willy O'Really?" and Darth Rove's girlfriend "Clueless Coulter." Are decorating his chamber with Iranian Flags. "Crazy Coulter" is so excited hanging up huge pictures of Ahmadinejad singing. "I am Ignorant, and I love it!"
"Alright my zombies! Thank you for decorating my chamber. Now get out and let me know when my good friend from Iran arrives." Announces a laughing Dath Rove.
The Three GOP/RNC "Zombies" leave the "Darth Rove." Chamber of Conservative Crap. Coming out of the huge steel doors from the back of Darth's Throne are "W," "Chump-Change Cheney," "Annis Akin's," "Mickey Mouse Mitch McConnell, and "Richie Rich" Ryan.
"Thank you all for coming to see our good friend the President Of Iran Ahmadinejad!" Excitedly Exclaims Darth Rove shaking his cane in the air.
"Brainless Bush" replies."No problem Karl! We have been looking to vist with President Ahmadinejad, and the oil he is going to sell us for cheap."
Scene One ends with the GOP/RNC "Speculator and Chief" placing chairs in front of the pit of fire.
Darth Rove orders. "Now Romulain! Make sure you put out all the chairs out properly. Put the chair for President Ahmadinejad in front of the line of chairs correctly!
"Yes master." Replies the GOP/RNC "Romulian" putting all the chairs in their correct place. This ends Scene One.
Scene Two opens with all of "Darth Rove's" guests sitting in their chairs.
"Ryan! Your job as VP will be to tell Romney what to do at all times." Explained Cheney leaning over at Ryan.
"Yes Ryan! It is your Economic and Tax Plan that we want to see as US Policy. All future budgets will be written by you, and Mr. Ryan you will make sure they get passed." Ordered "Darth Rove" glaring at Ryan.
Suddenly! "Willy O'Really?" enters the chamber and announces in a trance. "President Ahmandinejad is here master."

With a puzzled look on his face. President Ahmadinejad asks the group. "Isn't Governor Romney going to sit and talk with us too?"
Darth Rove quickly replies."No! He will not be joining us today. He is too busy parking the cars!" Seconds later. Everyone in the chamber starts laughing.
"I am very glad that we took out Iraq for you, and now I am making millions in oil profits." Explained "Darth Cheney" evilly smiing.
"Thank you! You took out our major enemy, and my nation did not have to spend a dime. I love how "W" lied about the Weapons Of Mass Destruction. That was great! Excitedly replied clapping his hand together.

Scene Two ends with everyone laughing at President Bush.
"Remember that you are not to talk until I tell you to George." Grinned a very disturbed "Chump-Change-Cheney."
Scene Three opens with the GOP/RNC "Brain Trust" continuing their meeting with the President of Iran Ahmadinejad.
"Senator McConnell! I am so proud of you when you stated that your party wants to destroy your President. That was great!" Said Ahmadinejad pointing at "Mickey Mouse Mitch McConnell."
"No problem President Ahmadinejad. Obummer is not our true President. He is a Muslum, and he pals around with terrorists. He has no Birth Certificate, and is too different from us." Explained "Mickey Mouse Mitch McConnell" in a very monotone voice.
"That is so true my friends! Yes he is not qualified to your President." Ahmadinejad nodding his head with a huge grin on his face.
"President Ahmadinejad. I am Paul Ryan the VP for Mitt Romney." Proudly announced "Richie Rich" Ryan.
"Oh Yes! Mr. Ryan! I love your Economic Plan to destroy Social Security, the Working Poor, the elderly, and your many disabled troops." Replied Ahmadinejad shaking Ryan's hand.

Darth Rove speaks up and says. "Our party is committed to outsourcing US Jobs, hiding our tax returns, not standing up to China, and making oil deals under the table with your nation President Ahamdinejad."
"That is good my GOP/RNC Friends! I like to suppress all voters in my country, and only those that think like me will vote." Strongly explained Ahmadinejad.
"Our party is devoted in our nation to destoy the right of 47% of Americans to vote." Proudly explained "Chump-Change-Cheney smiling.
Scene Three ends with everyone standing up shaking hands.
Darth Rove yells out in the direction of "Hoaky Hannity" to let out the President of Iran Ahmadinejad. In a "Zombie Trance" President Ahmadinejad is escorted out by "Hoaky Hannity."
THE END!
After the elections, moderate Republicans should form a new party and begin again to build an inclusive party closer to the center. It could be called the New Republicans. The New Republicans could once again embrace compromise, care about the poor, and adopt policies that most Americans want - such as recognition that there are many people living in the U.S. and they aren't all white and people who aren't white are not a threat, women's health issues should be decided by women and their doctors, and gay marriage is inevitable - get used to it.
They could continue to be the "pro business" party if they wish but they could stop with the "my way or the highway" politics. We are tired of obstructionism.
I am still angry by the Republican statements after President Obama won that their main goal would be to make the President a one term president. What about serving their constituents?
There aren't enough angry, white men to continue with the current Republican policies and platforms.
