I don't see Obama renouncing his ties to Kenya.
He looks like somebody or something but I can't place it. This is the closest I've gotten so far.
Or maybe???

Is that like when Saruman created the Uruk-hai?
I think Rubio looks like a pretty normal attractive dude. Cruz looks like he was created by a political cartoonist.

Subscribing again because apparently the last was just a continuation of an unrelated thread started way back in 1917.
It wouldn't stay up in the polls.

Ghaleon can still invoke censure against you if necessary.
(Nobody laughed at this joke last thread so I'm using it again. It works for Ted Cruz!)

Killing and eating squirrels polls well with my gerrymandered base so whether it sticks or not I'm doing this until 2014.

On the really off chance that this ends up being the poligaf thread until the elections next year
Dems are gonna pick up 30 seats in the house
Hold even in the senate
Pick up michigan, pennsylvania, maine, florida for governor's seats, with ohio, wisconsin, and south carolina possibly within reach but we'll see
i'm making this my prediction post because diablos asked me to
I did really well last time

Rest assured, my predictions stay the same regardless of my mental state.
However diablos specifically requested i put my reputation (whatever that is) on the line for this, so here you go.
This is of course assuming that whatever i put here holds true until election day, which is well over a year away, so whatever events may happen between then and now are completely unprecedented and i can't account for those.
:-D
Dat optimism. We can do this.
edit:
Look at those faces. They are angry but determined. So much resolve.

Just because it's a stated policy platform doesn't mean that once the party gets in power that they'll do anything about it.
He's been after my scalp for years. If he was going to go for it, he'd have done so by now.
should have been HARRY REID'S SHUTDOWN

has calmed down a bit.
What's with the Latino hate? I thought poligaf skewed Democrat!
You do realize that Harry Reid gets resolve on loan and must repay by being extra spineless later, right?

lol @ Republicans winning the House in 2012... hahaha... it's like all they do is listen to talk radio and think that such a sense of urgency no doubt meant that the Democrats were still controlling all three branches of Government!
How do you figure?
Whorehouse Harry Reid?
Quick googling got me to this delightful video that looks like Fox News After Dark.
p.s.
I always wondered where do Fox News get their seemingly endless supply of blond conservative tv personality, apparently, they have a farm league.
Wait, we didn't go with "Boehner wilts amidst intensifying GOP divide"? A missed opportunity.

Cyan shoved that pun-free job killing thread title down America's throat.
Speaking of predictions, I need to fire up and do some re-tooling to the 'ol algorithm in preparation for 2014..
2 out of 6 doesn't seem bad, but when you realize Romney won them all the Democrats are going to need to pour a boatload of time and money into those races.
Ahahahahahahhaahhaa

I still feel the Dems are taking back the House in 2014.
:|
Honestly, 2014 should be about two things:
a. Maintaining the Senate majority at all costs because we're looking at pure tossup territory here.
b. Making incremental gains in the House, all but guaranteeing a Democratic takeover in 2016 when Hillary is on the top of the ticket.

I'm loving AM radio's new, "Checks and balances the House is elected by the people something something checks and balances so this is all ok! CHECKS AND BALANCES" campaign.

1. Bob Corker said its been a bad 24 hours. No movement. GOP overreached in trying to attack the ACA and now dems overreaching.
2. Lindsay Graham says GOP Senate wont support bill that forces Boehner to break Hastert Rule so no undoing of current funding level.
3. Redstate contributor writes article complaining about being kicked off current insurance plan and having to pay much more for an ACA compliant one and it not being fair.
Ohhhhh the irony of a conservative complaining about losing current plan and experiencing a huge jump in premium in the greatest insurance system in the world.

More funny comments from my night with republicans.
Hilary won't run (trust the guy he talked to someone who worked on her campaign)
If she does she won't have democratic support in the primary and someone else will win.
She can't win a general, polling means nothing this far out. People hate her and the Clinton.
And of course if she does run bengahazi will hurt her. There are too many unanswered questions.

Rand Paul: GOP cant accept Democrats attempts to undo sequesters
So, we can't undo the sequester, we can't raise taxes, and republican's need to get "something" out of this.
What the hell are democrats supposed to do?

Funny thing is there are no checks against Congress. Being a deliberative body they're supposed to keep themselves in check.
My friend from back home called me last night to see if I was getting on GTA, and then said "you must be regretting who you voted for now."
He was getting more and more ridiculous until he finally said that when the truckers surround DC, Obama is going to use it to declare martial law and he's probably going to try to run for a third term. I told him to stop there, spent about 3 or 4 minutes explaining the facts of the shut down/debt ceiling and where I stand, and then told him that if he was going to ignore facts and be and continue to be completely delusional we should probably change the subject.
He was always rather conservative, but mostly apathetic (I don't think he's ever voted). It's kinda sad to see how radicalized he's gotten since I moved away. I gather that he gets most of this shit from his coworkers at the factory

This is a lot of Americans. I've had these conversations at work a lot, and no matter how many times you explain them to people they just don't get it.
However, I will say, ACA has been turning a lot of people. They know it's good. There are people with older relatives and friends and even themselves that suddenly can afford healthcare. HOW ABOUT THAT! And that is having a much bigger effect on their thoughts than anything I could say.
It's no wonder the GOP was so hell bent against it. They know it will be their long term downfall. And the more they fight, the worse it will be for them.

You know what I'm going to find hilarious?
In 10-15 years, I can guarantee you the people who were so adamant against the ACA will be HELL BENT on keeping it untouched or expanded.
I'm sitting here thinking to myself "Yeah...you guys are going to be SUCH hypocrites in a decade or so."
So that's why I sit back and laugh, because I know their going to change their tune once the scary black man is out of office.
I dunno. Will they find the scary white woman any more appealing?
But yes. It's just like every single other government program. People fight and fight and fight. And then they need it. And suddenly it's the greatest thing ever and don't you DARE touch it!

They need to fire David Gregory, holy shit. His interview with Leon panetta was painful to watch. Basically he said that this is also the presidents fault for "playing" around with debt ceiling. W t f

There are checks. Just not against them not doing their job. Checks and Balances are for excesses. The founders just didn't think they'd be this incompetent, at least the republicans. The 111th was a great congress.
This Yglesias article is amazing
http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2013/10/13/shutdown_white_house_obamacare_bailout.html
Anecdotes but still, Republicans have hurt their brand and bailed out a massive failure on Obama's end. The failure of the website would have but amazing pressure on delaying the law.

Don't you see that democrats get a debt ceiling raise and the reopening of the goverment -_-
