(154,021 posts)So if we even think that facts actually happened, like the SCOTUS issuing a decision in Bush v Gore that was supposed not to be precedent...that we are far left commies?
I love red baiting in the morning.
By the way, I am actually, like for real, a reporter. One of my local beats IS City Hall. I deal with actual, well you know...pesky facts. One of those pesky facts is the USSC stopped the count, not Nader. You can jump all you want up and down, it is simply not so. Another is that the NYT did indeed publish on 9/11 a report where Gore actually, I know shocking, won Florida.
In the reality we happen to live the OH servers did indeed go dark both in 2004 and 2012. We know in 2004 Kerry was leading and when they came back up Bush was leading. We know the data stream did go through servers in TN that night. These are facts.
We know that this year the servers went dark at exactly the same time.
We also know there was vote flipping in the spring during the Republican primaries.
If that makes me a commie, that is understanding the facts...are you now doing the McCarthy thing? Have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?
I can tell you this...nor is this an ad hominen, this s a fact. You really have no clue how the political system works. None, who is a professional observer is willing to say who will run in 2016. We have very early explorations, both Santorum (has a website up already likely more to retire his debt) and Rubio (went to OH already) are thinking about it.
In the dem side none has made any. What SOS Clinton has indicated is tat she needs a long vacation. We will not know for at least two years (2014 hmmm) if she's even thinking about it. Michelle? Now cue the laughtract. Why would any voter cast their vote for POTUS for her? Being FLOYUS hardly qualifies. She might run for office to get both a record and experience. That won't happen before 2018.
So that is how the real world works.
By the way, I guess in your case facts have a commie bent.
I have not been called a far left in a long time...well, thank you. I should feel honored.
(Oh and did not chose to go into the whole screed on Welstone...performance act indeed
Oh and I will go into Mexico. The President is NOT Fox, he hasn't been in 6 years. The current President, Calderon, just wants to change the official name, going to 1824, Estados Unidos Mexicanos, to Mexico.
Get's worst. Looked at a map lately? You want to make a country of over 90 million, with 32 States and one Federal District a single state in the US? You and what army? Oh and unlike DC, that Federal District, otherwise known as Mexico City, now self rules and has full representation in the Mexican Congress and Senate. We could learn a lesson with DC.
