THE POLITICAL ARENA!!! Political Gladiators Inside!!

[songsmith]

here is a little quote from last year and I'm sticking to it.

When assets like stocks (IRAs) and real estate are down, its a powerful negative. When they are up, it is a definite plus. With mortgage rates below 4%, real estate should be booming like never before, but its barely holding its own and actually retracting in some areas. As far as stocks go, my chart analysis shows the downturn that i predicted back in april is only half way thru its cycle. I can't put a time on it, but the DJIA should bottom out somewhere in the 9000s before this is all over. A quick downturn to these levels and then a return to the upside will be a definite positive for Obama, whereas a protracted bear market leading into the election will almost certainly spell disaster for him.

Oh, and don't forget the "malaise" factor. Calling us "soft" doesn't do much for the old campaign.

I still think this recent upturn is a sucker's rally.

Here's a little quote from me from early January, and I'm sticking to it, as well:

In November, it will be Romney vs. Obama, and Obama will win by a considerable margin.

Yo stumpy, the DOW is now trading 200 points below the 13,000 high you bragged about. Does Obama get the blame?

Yo Baby Huey, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is up more than
62% since Obama took office.
Does Obama get the credit?

If he gets credit for the price of gas doubling since he took office.

Johnny, are you constantly calling WRTA and telling them to drop Rush Limbaugh?

Don't need to. He's going to make that happen on his own. I call WRTA for the same reason I come here: conservative "entitlement" to authority makes them easy to eff with.
I enjoy popping their balloons. El Rush-Bo doesn't have opposing viewpoints anymore, it's too dangerous to his agenda. He doesn't have guests, because they might actually say something. I know that would be awesome for you, a world where you're told exactly what to think, and nobody ever disagrees with you, even when you're stupendously wrong.
That'll never happen here. Not with my trusty Lonewolf-designed keyboard, a cup of coffee, and a reasonable command of the Queen's English.
I didn't call WRTA to get rid of Rush, to answer your question. I e-mailed Clear Channel, and a bunch of current and now-former sponsors.

So just like the rest of the liberals, you want to silence anything that is conservative. I guess it is o.k what Ed Shultz, Bill Maher, and David Letterman did to Sara Palin then?

The only view you want people to hear is the liberal view. The only voice you want people to hear is MSNBC and the New York Times. Typical liberal agenda there, Johnny. Typical hypocrite there, Johnny.

You contacted clear channel and the advertisers because MSNBC told you to. They are still crying like babies over it. (They totally over look what Bill Maher, David Letterman, and Ed Shultz did). The same reason you are voting for Santorum. Plain and simple.

There is "authority" again. Is stumpy scared of getting a spankin? You have a serious issue with that.

Anybody that thinks Clear Channel is gonna cut Rush loose is just silly.Yes he may rub a few whiners the wrong way but his following and influence can't be denied.It doesn't have to be liked but that's the beauty of America.We get to say na na na na na.Like it or not you can't silence it.That's why Libs get a hard on about the Fairness doctrine,because they can't stand it when somebody spouts off,crosses the line and then is like fuck you i said it i meant it and it is what it is deal with it Sally.

I did not design it. Before the PC was introduced, computer keyboards were all custom orders without standardization. My first professional job was as a design engineer in new product development with the largest keyboard company in the world (at the time) Micro Switch/Honeywell.

My first task was to analyze almost 400 keyboard layouts and standardize 5 layouts from the sampling. The 5 standardized layouts that I came up with were a 16 key keypad, 64 key, 84 key (original PC), 128 key and...what turned out to be the 101 key enhanced keyboard. Add 3 keys in 1995 when windows came out and you have today's 104-key window keyboard. A keyboard layout is not a design.

Later, I developed two patents for them for universal panel design and sealed mylar membrane venting, neither of which would be in Chinese or Mexican quality keyboards that you might find for $20 today.

The membrane venting was demonstrated underwater in a fish tank to corporate in Minneapolis. It is only used on high end keyboards.

The fact is that Clear channel isn't stupid. They know that 99.9% of the complaints they got, or are getting, is from liberals who want to silence him. It is the same thing that is happening with our local station WRTA right now. They are being flooded with emails and phone calls to drop Rush from their programming. It is mostly from liberal groups who want to silence him. The liberals been trying for years to get Rush off the air. If they haven't done it by now, there is no way they will do it.

You will always see that the liberals are at ready to silence anything conservative at any given time, but give their own a free pass at any given time.

"As a candidate, Obama pledged that lobbyists “will not run my White House.” But on Monday, the president brought in one of this town’s most prominent lobbyists to run his White House — or at least a nice piece of it.

Steve Ricchetti, whose long list of lobbying clients included Fannie Mae, General Motors, the American Hospital Association and Eli Lilly, was tapped to be counselor to Vice President Biden.

Ricchetti achieved this feat — getting around the ban on lobbyists serving in the administration — by using one of Washington’s most-honored traditions: the loophole. Just as Obama won the presidency, Ricchetti de-registered as a lobbyist for his various clients. But he remained president of the lobbying firm that continued to work for many of those same clients, as well as a few more, such as the American Bankers Association.

Only in today’s Washington could a president circumvent his own ban on hiring lobbyists by hiring the head of a lobbying firm. "

Yeah okay, whatever. If the only definition you can make for me is "liberal," what do I care? It's YOUR problem if your brain can't widen out far enough to see a bigger picture than what you WANT to see.
Sarah Palin... I forget, is she a victim of a liberal media this week, or a pitbull with lipstick? If she's a victim, she shouldn't hold political office, because she's a wimp. If she's a pitbull, she'll be just fine, and the "lamestream media" can fire at will.
My stance has nothing to do with only wanting people to hear one side of the story (that's a conservative thing, not moderate, or as you claim, liberal). My stance is that Rush's big mouth finally got him in enough trouble that he's finding out he's just a fat drug-addicted blowhard, and not the inerrant mouthpiece of American politics. The extremist media is not the solution to the problem, it is THE PROBLEM. I haven't changed my view one iota, there is no hypocrisy. Perhaps if I actually followed the outlets you claim, like MSNBC-TV... but that's wishful-thinking on your part, so you can blame it on someone/something you hate. But, no... and if I post something from a hard-news organization, and the 'Trust posts a blog that isn't fact-checked, then criticizes my source... THAT'S hypocrisy. I can't post much from Fox News that's hard news, because they LIE and at best, spin the news so it reflects their well-paid agenda.
Once again I'll remind you that hearing something that disagrees with your worldview doesn't mean it's incorrect. It means your opinion means less than the truth.

Oh, brother. I hope it works out like the Shirley Sherrod tape (Breitbart got owned in a way that would have gotten him fired from any non-Fox media outlet... and it basically made him a laughingstock, and put the ACORN video to rest, too).

Sara Palin's daughter wasn't running for public office when Letterman said that stuff about her. They were constantly attacking her family, and her. Bill Maher did it, David Letterman did it, most of the liberal media was doing it. Maher and Letterman were the nastiest.

It comes to the fact that there is a double standard, and the left choses not to see it. They point out all the faults of the right, but don't see any of their own faults. I look at both of them and decide from there. Which is what I am getting at with Rush. It doesn't matter to me if they take him off or not, I don't listen to him enough to worry about it. I just bring it up when the left sees his faults, but choses to over look their own. Maybe if they would look in the mirror, things would be different.

It is equal play for everyone. If one side wants to play games, then the other side has just as much freedom to do that same.

I call you a liberal because everything you say, on here, points to it. I have not heard, or seen, you do one thing that points to me thinking that you are an independent.

You are a good guy, Johnny, but your politics views confuse me lol.

Funny you mention Bristol Palin. She "wrote" her memoir at age 20, then got plastic surgery. She was on Dancing With The Stars. Do you think she shuns the spotlight? Of course not.
AND:
Bristol Palin was an unwed mother at 17. Maybe she could have USED some of that birth control that Rush Limbaugh and the other middle-aged white guys want to control.

Does this mean that if there's a Fox News, there HAS to be an MSNBC?
Does it mean if there's a Rupert Murdoch, there HAS to be a George Soros?
Does this mean that if there's a Tea Party, there also has to be an Occupy Wall Street?
If the answer to any of those questions is 'no,' then you're the one dealing a double-standard, because I've said all those things repeatedly.

I can't think of anything I've ever said that would necessarily make me a liberal, and the only thing that really makes you think that is that I don't toe the talkshow-conservative line AT ALL. If I was a conservative, I'd be embarrassed at what the conservative culture has become. I'm only as liberal as the most devout neoconservatives force me to be, to counteract them. Lately, that forces me to lean to the left, because I can plainly see the circus that is the right. Rush Limbaugh is a deejay. He's not worthy of the status bestowed upon him. He's an obvious bad person, and a well-paid media figure who throws a lot of stones. You had to know he was going to cross the wrong group someday, and women just got tired of him portraying them as bimbo's and militant lesbians. He gets what he deserves, because he's already gotten far more pay and power than he deserves.

OOOOOOOOH! So did it show the Obomunist Manifesto, on a chalkboard, with everything from his Weather Underground connections to how he's going to round up Tea Party conservatives into interrment camps? Did it detail his years in a Indonesian madrasa studying terrorist tactics, or his time as a Nazi?
No, it was Hannity bitching because Buzzfeed scooped Fox News (boo-hoo) and a speech Obama gave in 1991 to some other college students, about a Harvard professor who wanted the university to hire more black people and women as professors. Earth-shattering, Fox News.
I do like the fact that Andrew Breitbart's final act was basically a quiet fart that had no discernible stink. Falling flat was a fitting end for him.

Not there "HAS" to be, but there "CAN" be. Which is why I never say anything about them being silenced or stopped. I may say some bad things about them, but I don't want them silenced. Unlike what the left is trying to do. I just don't like how one side does something, and then cries if the other does the same thing. I am tired of the double standards.
