Dems insist candidates will retain control of Senate; Republicans not buying ‘spin’

You and I do not speak the same language. I didn’t say what you said was wrong, I said, very correctly, that your comparisons were flawed and misdirected and not relevant.

Because, well, they’re not! Just because you have some correct factoids doesn’t necessarily mean you have constructed a coherent case, and you haven’t.

Re: “I didn’t say what you said was wrong...”

Really?

Let's check the archive.

Here's the ENTIRE statement I made that you disagreed with:

“The Democrats lost in 2010 because they had very poor voter turn out from non-whites and single white women.”

There is nothing in that post about 2008.

Here is your response:

“That’s not why the Democrats lost in 2010...”

For the last four posts, I've tried to persuade you my statement was correct.

I used data from 2008 ONLY because I no longer have gender and ethnic data from 2006 and 2010.

Now you say:

“I didn’t say what you said was wrong...”

Mon Dieu!

[C. Edmund Wright]

I want to ask you a serious question? Are you an idiot?

YOU WERE WRONG on why the Dems lost….but you were correct about their turn out…..but you contrasted it to 2008 which is also wrong. So yes, you had a fact right, but you had your analysis wrong.

Go away. I can’t deal with 65 IQ

Who ever did the polling that tells the Democrats they have a chance to retain the senate is probably the same outfit that told Cantor he was up by 35 points.

This 'local' mantra has worked well for them in recent elections. Problem is, it's not local. These people go to Washington and vote as a block for whatever their prez or party tells them to.

Exactly! Brat should counsel GOP on strategy. He was saying last night on Fox that historically, centralized, top-down government has never worked and that is what we have with Democrats.

[Kenny]

I see your point but you’re missing the big picture. No one, and I mean no one is anywhere near as bad as Obama and his minions.

And if the Dems keep control in 2014, Obama has more muscle to finish us off with.

Re: “YOU WERE WRONG on why the Dems lost.”

Enlighten me.

Why did the Dems lose in 2010?

Five posts from you, and not one word on that subject.

[C. Edmund Wright]

The Dems lost for the same reason they lost in 1994: there was a huge back lash against Hillary Care in 93-94 and Obama Care in 09-10. At the same time, there was a huge grass roots uprising in 94 (Contract w America) and in 2010 (Tea Party).

The turn out issue was a result of these factors - both high intensity on the right and depressed intensity on the left….and both were mid term elections so both were about ideas and not people.

Please send your tuition check via pay pal.

Thanks for responding to my original post.

So, 2010 was a huge backlash to ObamaCare?

Yet, 24 months later, in 2012, Obama was easily reelected, campaigning FOR ObamaCare.

Now, 40 months after our historic 2010 victory, Ted Cruz and a couple dozen Congressmen I've never heard of are the ONLY Republicans campaigning against ObamaCare.

Boehner, Cantor, and Ryan actually voted to fully fund two years of ObamaCare, including funding for insurance company bailouts!

Edmund, in case you haven't noticed, poor people and the lower middle class, about 47% of voters, love ObamaCare.

Corporate America also loves ObamaCare, since they plan to dump ALL their employees into it.

AGAIN….YOU DON”T UNDERSTAND THE DIFF BETWEEN MID TERMS AND GENERAL ELECTIONS.

Until you get that lesson down, do not bother the professor ever again. You are being THICK THICK THICK HEADED.

[zeestephen]

Sorry, Professor, I'm not impressed by invective, condescension, and buzz words you copied out of Wikipedia.

You're just one more poster who compulsively desires the last word.

Every time I swat down one of your arguments, you simply introduce new arguments and pretend that you were making those new points all along.

Non-whites and single white women are ALWAYS low intensity voters in off year elections.

They must be herded to the polls, or they will stay home.

In 2010, after the exuberance of Obama’s election, Democrats made the fatal error of believing their base voters would now turn out on their own initiative.

That did not happen, and Democrats took an historical beating.

That will not happen again in 2014.

I think we are now 6-6 on posts.

I'll quit any time you do.

[C. Edmund Wright]

dude, you’re so over your head you don’t know how over your head you are.

[zeestephen]

What’s up with this “C. Edmund Wright” screen name you use?

I just went to his website.

His writing skills, and his maturity, are clearly at a higher level than yours.

Are you pretending to be “C. Edmund Wright?”

This makes us 7-7 on posts.

I’ll stop when you stop.

SOTC - this guy needs some education…..

[Servant of the Cross]

I'm reminded of a wise bit of advice I heard my paternal Grandfather, God rest his soul, say more than once ....

“Never wrestle with a pig – you’ll both get dirty, and the pig will love it”

Let It Be

[C. Edmund Wright]

Yeah, I’m done with the pig…..

[zeestephen]

Now you’re “Ghosting.”

I can’t wait to hear why SOTC thinks I’m stupid, too.

8-8.

I’ll stop when you stop.
