The New Joe Montgomery Birther Pit / Paul courts the morons for Iowa win
« on: December 31, 2011, 02:37:35 PM »
"Republican" Ron Paul is so desperate for a win in Iowa that he's inviting Dems to switch parties "for a day" to vote for him in the caucuses. Sad, but not really a surprise. Paul is, by far, the candidate most likely to appeal to the morons, given his anything-goes stance on social issues and head-in-the-sand foreign policy. I doubt they'll like his views on the size of government, though.

The New Joe Montgomery Birther Pit / Obama bouncin' back
« on: December 21, 2011, 10:18:30 AM »
Obama's poll numbers are improving. Unexpected this is, and unfortunate.
I think a number of things may be in play, in order of probability:
1. Unemployment down below 9%, and consumer confidence is ticking up.
2. Republican presidential candidates have been behaving like assclowns recently as they fight amongst each other, making Obama look better by comparison.
3. House GOP foolishly rejects the Senate compromise on payroll tax extension, which was a clear winner for the GOP.
4. It's the holiday season, and people are in a better mood right now.

The New Joe Montgomery Birther Pit / Obama counting on the women's vote
« on: December 19, 2011, 07:27:52 PM »Quote
The United States on Monday said President Barack Obama would sign an executive order that would release the country's "first-ever national action plan on women, peace, and security."
The executive order would "lay out the concrete steps the administration will take to increase our commitment to support women as critical participants in preventing and resolving conflict," a senior administration official said.
"We know that enabling women to have a voice alongside those of men in matters of international peace and security is the right thing to do," the official added.
The action plan created by Obama aims to strengthen US government measures to protect women and children from harm, exploitation, discrimination and violence, including sexual violence and human trafficking.
Putting the obvious pandering aside for a moment, a question for the libs: Does it ever bother you that your (Democrat) party is so strongly vag-centric? To paraphrase a movie, you are the party of no reason, accountability, or fiscal responsibilty.

Kansas State Football / Poll: Cotton or Alamo?
« on: November 26, 2011, 09:15:10 PM »
Ok, so now that a Big 12 BCS At-Large is almost totally 
, where do the Cats end up?
Assuming we beat ISU, Cotton has to prefer us over a 9-3 OU if they lose next week. But if OU wins, who gets the nod?

The New Joe Montgomery Birther Pit / The BBA is back
« on: November 16, 2011, 11:23:12 AM »
Republicans, the party of newfound fiscal responsibility, are spearheading a new Balanced Budget Amendment, but it also has genuine bipartisan support among Democrats. Naturally, Obama is trying to kill the deal.
From the Washington Times:
There's a lot to be concerned about with a BBA, but with trillion dollar annual deficits, I'd take anything at this point.
From the Washington Times:
Quote
House Democrats are divided. Their leaders are working hard to stop the Balanced Budget Amendment (BBA), but not all members on the left are falling into line. The chances of this landmark constitutional amendment passing Friday depend on how many are willing to put their country’s interests before that of their party.
On Tuesday, Democratic Reps. Peter DeFazio of Oregon, Mike McIntyre of North Carolina, Jim Cooper of Tennessee, Jim Costa of California and Jason Altmire of Pennsylvania signed up to whip Democratic votes in favor of a balanced budget.
Mr. DeFazio, who voted for the amendment in 1995, told The Washington Times in an interview that, if it had passed, “today we’d be paying off the last of the debt.” Rep. Bob Goodlatte, the Virginia Republican sponsor of the bill, welcomed the help. “There are many Democrats who are working hard on their side of the aisle to bring those votes about,” he said.
To reach the two-thirds threshold for passage of a constitutional amendment, united Republicans must pick up 48 Democrats. Mr. Altmire, a cosponsor of the BBA, told The Washington Times that he is targeting those who “voted for it in the 1990s - to get them to reconsider, if they are thinking of voting against it.”
The White House announced Tuesday that it “strongly opposes” the limitation on spending, but the statement has no teeth since President Obama can’t veto a constitutional amendment.
Democrats say the GOP’s decision to ditch a supermajority requirement to raise taxes created a breakthrough. “They are not approaching it on a partisan, political basis,” said Mr. DeFazio. “They are giving us an honest Balanced Budget Amendment, the same one that passed with bipartisan votes in 1995.”
There's a lot to be concerned about with a BBA, but with trillion dollar annual deficits, I'd take anything at this point.

The New Joe Montgomery Birther Pit / Who do you want the GOP to nominate for 2012?
« on: November 16, 2011, 08:58:22 AM »
I'll limit it to 3 plausible choices: Cain, Gingrich, and Romney. (Please don't clutter up this thread with a bunch of Ron Paul BS. It ain't gonna happen.) This isn't just for conservatives. I'd also be interested to know who the liberals think is most beatable.
Newt's my favorite candidate, but he's probably not quite as "electable" as Romney. Romney has the best chance of winning, but he's not as conservative as Newt. At this point, I'd probably have to go with Romney, but if Obama drops back into the low 40s, I'd take a gamble on Newt. Pair either one with Rubio and it will be formidable ticket.

The New Joe Montgomery Birther Pit / Kagan Hearts Obamacare
« on: November 16, 2011, 08:47:06 AM »
From Newsroom America:
Should Justice Kagan recuse herself? How can she really suggest she is "impartial" when she cheered like a teenage girl for the bill's passage?
Quote
Calls are increasing for Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan to recuse herself from the high court's consideration of whether key provisions of a health care reform law are constitutional because she once defended it as solicitor general for the Obama administration.
Such calls increased Tuesday following publication of email traffic between Kagan, who was then the U.S. Solicitor General, and Harvard Law Prof. Laurence Tribe, who was then serving in the Justice Department. In an email exchange with Tribe, Kagan writes enthusiastically about passage of the health care legislation in the House of Representatives March 21, 2010.
"I hear they have the votes, Larry!! Simply amazing," Kagan wrote, according to email traffic obtained by CNSNews.com through a Freedom of Information Act request.

Essentially Flyertalk / Cable in KC: Time Warner or SureWest (Everest)?
« on: March 24, 2010, 12:05:41 PM »
Moving to Overland Park and looking for advice on cable providers. Looks like SureWest is cheaper, but I want a nice DVR. Anybody know what model HD-DVRs SureWest and Time Warner use? Other thoughts on these providers would also be appreciated.
