- YEAH!!!!! nm - Jim Mar 30, 10:46
- time to get aluminum siding. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 10:36
Tea Party favorability ratings are in decline. That is bad, bad news for the GOP IMO - TWuG Mar 30, 10:27 41
- Good news / bad news. Tea Party has infused part of the base, but has also splintered the GOP some. -- nm - ty97 Mar 30, 10:59
- I'll see you and raise a "Obama�s Job Approval Rating Reaches Lowest Level" -- (link) - Ender Mar 30, 10:39 21
  - [deleted] 12
    - It depends on what our forces are doing a year, year and a half from now. - TWuG Mar 30, 10:52 5
      - I'd expect the bigger danger is whether the "unable to make up his mind" thing settles in as conventional wisdom. -- nm - Ender Mar 30, 10:58 2
        
        It could. Personally, I think it's unfounded. I'd rather have him thinking over options than just going in guns ablaze - TWuG Mar 30, 11:01 1
        
        Founded or unfounded has very little to do with public perception. Some things just stick. -- nm - Ender Mar 30, 11:03
      - [deleted] 1
        
        I think things like this are driven by results. Not a one of us would still be bitching about Iraq if they had greeted us as liberators. - TWuG Mar 30, 10:59
    - i don't think it will last nearly that long. and it's about #16 on the list of reasons he hasn't earned my vote for 2012 - moles Mar 30, 10:52
    - The hypocricy of it all is mind-blowing. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 30, 10:51 4

        Ed Schultz sure upped the ante with his "questioning the president in a time of war is unpatriotic" routine last night. -- nm - Ender Mar 30, 11:01 2
        
        That's awesome. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 30, 11:02 1
        
        - - Ender Mar 30, 11:05
  - This shows how stupid people are. And it no nay representative. 36% Obama 37% GOP I call bs -- nm - MDH Mar 30, 10:43 2
    - Of course it's BS, all polls are BS. -- nm - Ender Mar 30, 10:45 1
      - 73% of poll responders confirm this. -- nm - David Mar 30, 11:01
  - Not the least bit surprised. But I expect there's a big difference between "deserves reelection" and his chances against any GOP candidate. -- nm - TWuG Mar 30, 10:42 2
    - If only we could nominate "Un-named Republican candidate." -- nm - Strongbad Mar 30, 10:43 1
      - that's just crazy enough to work -- nm - moles Mar 30, 10:44
  - People are stupid: Majority say don't get in Libya; but 60%+ say we should help the people. - Will Hunting Mar 30, 10:41 1
    - First 3 words were sufficient. (nm) - musubi Mar 30, 10:48
- Hooray for single data point conclusions! Woohoo! -- nm - Strongbad Mar 30, 10:31 15
  - Look at Nate Silvers analysis. It doesn't rely on the CNN poll alone. -- nm - TWuG Mar 30, 10:32
  - You obviously didn't read the article. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 30, 10:32 13
    - But you're right, it's obviously better to get 538's spin as opposed to going to the primary source document. Good point. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 30, 10:35 10
      - Your criticism was "single point analysis" which it isn't. If you disagree that it's bad for the GOP, that's cool, but the analysis relies on 15 - TWuG Mar 30, 10:37 9
        
        Your linked CNN Poll showed 1 data point of decline. - Strongbad Mar 30, 10:40 8
        
        Did you read the link in the IM that goes to the Nate Silver article? I linked *both* for a reason. - TWuG Mar 30, 10:44 7
        
        Nate's doing his usual leftist spin. Yes, I understand. - Strongbad Mar 30, 10:45 6
        
        That's fine that you disagree with his conclusion. But his conclusion isn't based on single point analysis, which was your complaint in the first - TWuG Mar 30, 10:48 5
        
        Your subject "Tea Party favorability ratings are in decline" was clearly not supported by the linked article. - Strongbad Mar 30, 10:50 4
        
        There hasn't been a change from 38 to 32 in their favorability ratings since December? - Will Hunting Mar 30, 10:51 3
        
        Which is the definition of "single data point conclusion" -- nm - Strongbad Mar 30, 10:52 2
        
        yet that article was linked and it clearly was supporting the statement. - Will Hunting Mar 30, 10:54 1
        
        Yes, I should have read both. - Strongbad Mar 30, 10:59
    - I obviously read the link. - Strongbad Mar 30, 10:34
    - Maybe he's saving his 20 views for something else. :-) -- nm - TWuG Mar 30, 10:33
- Hopefully Boehner shows some sense in the next few days and ignores the TP to make a budget deal. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 30, 10:29 1
  - Well, no chance of that. -- nm - Mop Mar 30, 10:39
I agree, Daredevil could make for an awesome TV show -- nm - Beryllium Mar 30, 10:26 4
- I think it works in theory, but it'd be expensive to make. - musubi Mar 30, 10:28
- I seem to recall that Flash series they did in the early 90s being really entertaining. -- nm - Reagen Mar 30, 10:27 1
  - yeah that was a solid little show. -- nm - Remlik Mar 30, 10:29
- (especially if it also happens to have Guerrero) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 30, 10:26
so, I posted the link to the machete-crossbow on facebook, and the first person to "like" is was my ex-mother-in-law. - znufrii Mar 30, 10:25 1
- that'll teach you to friend your XMIL. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 10:25
Real World's Sean Duffy struggling to make ends meet on his $174,000 salary as a freshman Representative -- (link) - moles Mar 30, 10:24 28
- I wasn't there, but it sounds like he was trying to let the people know that he understands living paycheck to paycheck and stuff. - Jim Mar 30, 10:52 2
  - I get your IM. -- nm - lileve Mar 30, 10:59
  - sure, a paycheck that's four times as large as his constituents - moles Mar 30, 10:55
- Read: I'm open to bribes. -- nm - David Mar 30, 10:52
- Don't take a job that doesn't cover your expenses then bitch about it. Sorry. -- nm - lileve Mar 30, 10:45 4
  - This. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 30, 11:01 1
    - Woohoo I'm not crazy! -- nm - lileve Mar 30, 11:06
  - i'm a little confused on where you come down on this issue -- nm - moles Mar 30, 10:47 1
    - Something about it is hitting a nerve. Think I'll move on from the issue. -- nm - lileve Mar 30, 10:54
- I find it hilarious that Rachel is a school teacher. -- nm - lileve Mar 30, 10:35 2
  - oh, she does have a job. and apparently she got a pay cut. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 10:36 1
    - stick it to those teachers unions, Wisconsin GOP -- nm - moles Mar 30, 10:37
- send wifey to work! -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 10:30 1
  - often that's a losing proposition with many children once daycare costs are figured in. if all are school-aged and one can babysit the rest after- - amanda jones, transitarian Mar 30, 10:32
- No one forced him to have six kids. STFU and get a second job. -- nm - lileve Mar 30, 10:29 9
  - to be fair, Congressmen do have to maintain two homes, so they get a little slack for that. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 10:31 7
    - Many of them rent or shack up together. (Though the majority of them are quite wealthy, obviously.) -- nm - Don Homer Mar 30, 10:34 2
      - I'm not calling them poor by any stretch. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 10:35
      - Real World: Capitol Hill! -- nm - moles Mar 30, 10:34
    - That was his choice. I'm sure he knew what he was getting into. -- nm - lileve Mar 30, 10:32 3
      - oh sure, but he'd be far better off as a private attorney. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 10:34 1
        
        but eve is right that he chose this knowing how long he'd be without pay and how much he'd make once he landed. - amanda jones, transitarian Mar 30, 10:37
      - Why do you hate the wealthy? Can't you see how hard they have it? -- nm - TWuG Mar 30, 10:34
  - Or Rachel should get a job if she doesn't have one. -- nm - lileve Mar 30, 10:30
- But I have more debt than you! -- nm - Don Homer Mar 30, 10:27
- must be pretty savvy to win as a Republican in Wisconsin. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 30, 10:26 2
  - What does that have to do with what he (foolishly) said? -- nm - Don Homer Mar 30, 10:30 1
    - Nothing. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 30, 10:31
The problem with nuking Alabama (and, for that matter, Mississippi) is finding something worthwhile to destroy. -- nm - Reagen Mar 30, 10:23 25
- Not that I have given a lot of thought to these specific states, but I would dirty bomb a casino or a mall. - loosilu Mar 30, 10:27 19
  - hey now, lets keep the Casinos - okay? -- nm - Epiphany Mar 30, 10:57 1
    - youj might want to stay away from them in, say, mid May. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 11:03

  - This, more than anything, reassures me that al Qaeda doesn't have much luck getting operatives into the US. - TWuG Mar 30, 10:29 3
    - mmm, single malt bombing -- nm - Beryllium Mar 30, 10:36
    - oh, I totally disagree with your IM. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 10:29 1
      - I don't....we'll turtle up afterwards. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 30, 10:42
  - Start with the stadiums, improve education and cut corruption all at once. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 30, 10:28 10
    - My favorite scenario, which no one will ever let me do: Anthrax at a beauty pageant. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 10:29 5
      - Why a beauty pageant? - Will Hunting Mar 30, 10:31 4
        
        Because we're in MS and AL. I've already done anthrax in Vegas. - loosilu Mar 30, 10:32 3
        
        oh, and Vegas was supposed to get n00ked in 2010, but they chickened out at the last minute. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 10:38
        
        Hit Tunica. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 30, 10:32 1

    - Talladega seats 175,000 -- nm - Strongbad Mar 30, 10:29 3
      - Sadly, smart bombs would be overcome by the waves of stupidity emanating from the fans and would forget what they were there to do. -- nm - TWuG Mar 30, 10:30 2
        
        that's why I said dirty, not smart. :) -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 10:32 1
        
        Good point. A dirty bomb could walk right through the front gate and no one would be the wiser. -- nm - TWuG Mar 30, 10:39
- by that logic North Korea is safe for the next many years -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 30, 10:25 2
  - oh I strongly disagree. That boondoggle of a hotel they didn't finish should be the site of any future nuke tests. -- nm - Reagen Mar 30, 10:27 1
    - sure you do -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 30, 10:31
- Orphanariums. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 30, 10:24
