Uh, Silber still lost. He just didn’t lose as early as the other losers.
It was Massachusetts. Romney would lose Massachusetts.
Right. There was one gaffe too many, lol.
—Well, what is the explanation for picking a church with the biggest potluck? I have been looking for a church for a very long time.—
I’ll synopsize here. He says it tongue in cheek, but it is along these lines: The bible is about two things: Man’s relationthip with man and man’s relationship with God. All of the ten commandments even fall within one of these two. And our relationship with other men involves “community”, and “it takes a villiage*” type stuff in a real sense.
He was basically saying he wants to be a part of a body of believers that enjoy each other’s time together in the Lord and follow the early church example. They love and promote community within the context of His will.
So it is really not about pot luck, but about how inclusive the organization is, from a biblical perspective and how “non-cliquish” it is. Your relationship with God can often be seen in your relationship with others.
I’m speaking off the cuff here. but you get the drift. And yes, ex-patriot, you get the drift of where he was going. :-)
Normally, I would change channels just to catch Brit's opinions, but in this election cycle, he is peddling nothing but 'GOP Establishment viewpoints'. Another commentator who is driving me nuts is Mr Establishment himself - none other than Karl Rove.
I remember him. I found out that Bellotti, who was involved in
helping screw up the MA auto insurance biz and chasing out
companies, got a stake in a newly formed auto insurance
company that inherited a good percentage of expiring policies.
Any way, the bottom line is that I, as an unenrolled voter, took a
Dem primary ballot and voted for Silber. Bellotti also oozed
sleaze, which didn't help him with any non-partisan types that
were paying attention.
(I think at that time, I had to stop at the town clerk's office on the
way out, and re-unenroll myself from a Democrat party affiliation.)
And the point being that the author may be comparing apples and
oranges in this, his analysis.
Anybody will beat Obama in a 2-way race.
He’s locked in @ 42% of the vote.
Some FReepers forget he only pulled 53% against McLame, and a dispirited R party, and running on a record of 100% success verified by the MSM.
By this time next year, most voters will be referring to 2007 as the “good old days”.
The overconfidence people have here is staggering. Hussein will get no less than 45% of the vote, and if we nominate a poor, gaffe prone candidate he could easily win.
Harry Reid was like the most unpopular Senator in the nation, yet he won fairly comfortably because we nominated a flake to run against him.
Hussein will have a billion dollars and the entire mainstream media and entertainment establishment in his corner, he will be very difficult to beat. The overconfidence you and others have is naive at best.
I don’t believe you can extrapolate the Nevada senate race to the POTUS race. Nevada was the one bright spot for Dems of a historic thrashing they took in 2010.
Baraq Hussein Obama is the James Earl Carter of 2012, and the Carville Precept will rule.
Obama can’t even get Democrats to appear in a campaign stop with him, except for the most liberal whackjob districts. His toxic coattails will make Dems a minority party for a long time to come.
You are way, way too overconfident. If you've been involved in politics for any length of time, I'd expect you'd know better. Seriously. Obama will get a minimum of 45% of the vote. Almost half of Americans pay no income taxes at all. Just under half are dependent on government transfer payments of one kind or another. We are a fully blossomed social welfare state, much like Europe at this point. The more we are like them, the more we will vote like them. My guess is this will be a very close election - something along the 2004 model. If we nominate a gaffe machine or someone that rubs the electorate wrong, we will very likely lose.
Maybe we should nominate a guy whose big plan is to tax poor people’s purchases so they’ll have some “skin in the game.”
