the rational 80 percenters

Interesting that no matter what, you guys say this. Even though Barack won by less than 10 points? Math your way seems to be off 70% of the time.

  Again ... I've not said that those who voted for McCain are NOT rational.
  
  YOU are infering that.
  
  I'm claiming that there is in this country 10 percent nutty right ... and 10 percent nutty left.
  
  Although, you could infer that I believe pc25 is part of the 10 percent nutty right.

      Give reason a rest?
      
      I have given it a rest when it comes to you stalemate.
      
      I speak my mind knowing that you 10 percenters will never, 'get it'.
      
      Besides, I was taking to slate. And while slate and I come from opposite ends of the political spectrum, it's quite obvious that he's capable of reason.

      I disagree with Goppy saying you are part of the 10%ers, with those DD's you are more than 40% and you do have a left and a right one...LOL
      But your statement makes sense today, but it was not what or how you were posting 3 weeks ago, any and all garbage against Obama was OK.
      And as for America's problem ?
      America has to come out of her shell, she is not the best at everything she does, but with this kind of thinking Americans don't feel they need to look elsewhere for a solution,,,,they know it all.
      Your news is so biased one way or another, but posting CBC, BBC Reuters or any outside take on a situation is looked at as commie/socialist or Muslim/nazi or just unChristian.
      Look at The situation that happened in Georgia a few months ago, American papers reported how those Godless commies invaded Georgia only to now (if you can even find any reference to it)have to retract that stand as it was the other way around....but this does not fit in with national policies so slant it, like invading Iraq.

        No, I much prefer conversation and a beer in a bar, than a bar room brawl, but can handle both.
        Being wrong is human, but also there are times when a person knows he/she is right and the hell with the herd.
        Many of the disagreements here really don't mean much as many of the points are taken out of context, both sides makes them and both sides pick up on them
        Examples; Obama' private army, 57 states, him a Muslim, no wait he is a radical Christian or abortion......and McC,; veto beer, not supporting vets, being a baby Bush, America is a nation of whiners (not him but a Rep) "SO".....just a bar room brawl, some people you hit some you don't.
        You have a point, and I will comment, I expect a comment back, but will answer in the vain it was given.
        As for Goppy? he is part of the 40% while slate is part of the other side another 40%er...so if one is black and one is white, never will the colours change;,BUT if you read farther on you will see that both black and white agreed on the racial slur that a creep posted,,,and what do you have ? a shade of gray
        And this is one of the things I have been saying for 18 months, USA with a two party system most issues end up black or white, no grey;;a two ring circus that many outside of your borders watch with amusement, especially when one on either side spouts off that "We are the smartest"
        And as for you? well I believe that if ever you had the chance to sit and have a beer with Goppy you would be surprised on how little you two really disagree; you both love your country and have logical reasons for it.
        Just stay away from wine.

        So you think your country or politics ia different than the rest of the worlds """lolo
        We all have the same problems
        
        If this is true, this is pretty pathetic!!!
        
        Check this out!
        
        Can you imagine working for a company that has a little
        more than 300 employees and has the following statistics:
        
        30 have been accused of spousal abuse.
        9 have been arrested for fraud,
        14 have been accused of writing bad cheques.
        95 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2
        businesses.
        4 have done time for assault,
        55 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit.
        12 have been arrested on drug related charges.
        4 have been arrested for shoplifting.
        6 are currently defendants in lawsuits.
        62 have been arrested for drunk d riving in the last year.
        
        Can you guess which organization this is?
        It is the 301 MP's in the Canadian Parliament. The same group
        that cranks out hundreds of new laws designed to keep the
        rest of us in line. Which one did you vote for?
        
        TAKEN FROM THE OTTAWA CITIZEN.
        
        Pass this on to every Canadian you know.
        
        Main problem is, this does not effect the world, just us Canadians.

      We tried for 8 years to have rational conversations only to be savagely attacked by people like Slate, Klarissa, KarlyC, PC25, etc.
      
      It's our turn to give it back and I'm loving it!

  365 - 173 electoral votes is not 10 points.. the GOP as McCain said on Leno was taken to the woodshed.....
  
  yet an interesting fact.. even in states that elected dem senators that had GOP governors up for re-election.. not one GOP governor was ousted.. why....
  
  because they tend to be fiscally conservative and save money.. but centurist on the social issues...
  
  that won't fly with the national party until they realize they don't need or WANT the flat earthers... the fringe right who want to return to the 18th century..

    Why? Maybe because "Governors" are thought of as "Good Old Boys" that only represent the state and not National issues ... doh!

      Those were not my actual thoughts, only conjecture. You DO know the difference, yes? Preceded by "Maybe ..." should be a clue.

  You're not even smart enough to read Goppy's explanation of the 80 percenters. Your koolaid needs a refill.
