Man yard dog never disappoints. Do you read anything beyond tweets and Facebook posts? Take a half an hour or so and check this out.

I got all of that information and speculation about polls by listening to NPR. So, yes, I do " read stuff beyond tweets and facebook posts"

Never change yard dog  also no one believes that you listen to NPR but find all of those batshit crazy facebook posts "interesting."

I realize listening to NPR is not reading. Any halfway intelligent individual would understand I was making the statement that I am not getting my news from facebook and Twitter like you suggest.

So you are saying that because of your opinion on politics it is impossible that I listen to NPR? I have a lengthy commute everyday and NPR's All Things Considered never disappoints. I am not lying that I heard them discuss polling on NPR.

Dissenting opinions are also not automatically "bigoted" or "batshit crazy". Those talking points only make the person using them seem ignorant and uneducated. It is important as well rounded individuals to understand what all sides of an issue are, not just saying "lalala" with your fingers in your ears.

I enjoyed this coming from yardy considering he has one of the lowest understanding of "issues" from even an elementary level of anyone on this blog

yarddog, getting a representative sample is very hard.  but pollsters are very aware of the issue and make every effort to get a good sample, and also to adjust the results as needed.  it's a complicated thing, but they're generally good at what they do.

There are a lot of dumb ppl in the country.  When those dumb ppl hear someone constantly referred to as "fantastic", "Very smart", "Incredible", etc, they start believing it.  Even if the primary source is the person describing themselves.

dumb people really dont care about those adjectives. all they care about is never admitting failures and never apologizing and never bowing.

Yard dog would make a poor statistician

but easily a top 15 republican presidential candidate

[ShellShock]

Word on the street is that Christie, Kasich and Walker will be dropping out of the race as early as next week.

[star seed 7]

Kasich would win a general election, too bad republicans are so crazy

[CNS]

I will be surprised if walker could find his way out of a wet paper bag, let alone a presidential election.

If a union or abortion was happening at the bag exit, he'd find it and stop it

Wut? Isn't walker polling 3rd or 4th and why would anyone float dropping out a week before they actually do it and before the next debate?

Limited, yet sturdily involved in all things in your bedroom. 

[star seed 7]

Yup, limiting the rights of citizens government is more accurate

[Yard Dog]

Absolutely not. You can do whatever you want in there. The government has no say on that. I have never heard a republican propose legislative action against what happens in anyone's bedroom.

[Yard Dog]

No not really, limited regulation. That's what we're after. Not a heap ton of it. Less taxes across the board and less departments wasting money and being completely ineffective. I support giving more power to state governments who truly know what their local citizens need. Not some blanketed legislation that is tries to please everyone and is thus ideal for no one.

Have you seen state government in action?

Yes, and given any authority by the federal government they wouldn't have to play patsy to the national base. Currently they have to try and make statements nationally to try and force policy change so they can even run efficiently. With out that road block you would see a lot more bipartisanship directed specifically at improving the state.

You remember the one thread that one time where you learned what Sodomy is?

I made a point to ask other people this weekend if I was alone in my misconstrued understanding of the term and I wasn't. You might laugh that off and say that it must be because all of my friends are rubes, but that is just not the case.

But thinking that sodomy is only in reference to anal sex means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of political debate. What is the argument? That anyone who has an opinion on how the government is run better know the definition of sodomy or they are idiots not worthy of discussing the economy, foreign policy, or the social agenda of the liberal left and conservative right?
