” you can find them posting ugly anti-Mormon threads on the religion forum if you’re interested.”
I know. Seen them. Stupid. Its not about theology, its about political theory and practise and national self-preservation.
They don’t get it.
WOuld they not vote for a conservative Catholic or Jewish candidate?
The ONLY group I draw the line at is MUSLIMS for good reason. THOSE people go balistic over wiccans. I have better things to do with my time a Conservative Protestant Christian.
In the real world I see and live in, consumer confidence has not “surged”.
Everything we buy that’s important, critical to us is UP, incomes are down, more and more and more people who still have any kind of job are being put on a part time basis because employers can’t afford Obamacare. A stat I heard a couple days ago is that people who had paid down their credit cards back a year or two ago are now going into greater debt again...just to make ends-meet.
People know this. I don’t know what to think about ANY poll that claims people heard an unemployment number from the gov’t and suddenly, their confidence “surged”.
It’s D+5, not D+3. See here http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2941780/posts?page=73#73
Thank you.
I try to remind people that it’s D+5 now but a lot of people sincerely believe, but wrongly believe, that it’s not. And others, never heard of the change in the first place.
When it changed from D+3 to D+5, at that point pre-debate, Romney began to consistently trail Obama...not by much, but consistently trail, whereas BEFORE that change, it would either be tied or Romney with a slight lead. What was worrying everyone was the swing state polls. Then, after the change, people were worried about Ras’s national poll.
Now that the debate changed the picture, Ras has Romney either slightly up or tied. But is still using D+5 which minimizes Romney’s strength.
Roughly half the public are going to vote for Obama. These are people that WANT to have faith in Obama, WANT to believe in what he says, and WANT to believe economic reports that claim things are getting better. The "surge" in consumer confidence, assuming you believe Rasmussen's polling, is unlikely from Republicans or Independents - it is Democrats "coming home" and buying the government spin because they WANT to believe Hussein is making things better.
We have a bunch of Pro-Obama trolls even on this forum and in others who manage to hijack many, many threads trying to convince Republicans not to vote at all. The Dims were running Craigslist ads recruiting people to do this. In many cases the trolls use accounts that have been inactive to make it appear that they are old timers.
I agree. Unless we’re voting for a new pastor I don’t see wheere a candidate’s religion should ever be a consideration...except for muslims for obvious reasons.
“In many cases the trolls use accounts that have been inactive to make it appear that they are old timers. “
AHA!!!!
THAT explains why I get those dates on some of these postings. How the heck do they get those identities and passwords??
The most basic technique of disruptive organizations or individuals is to sign up for multiple accounts on political forums... many to be used at a later date. For evidence of a similar form of behaivior look at the number of fake Twitter accounts that have been set up for entertainers and left leaning politician.
It is also a little like faked positive Ebay feedback. I have run into this on numerous occasions. Ebay feedback can be gamed easily by people selling url links to “recipes” for a penney to each other. I have seen people with literally thousands of positive feedbacks all based on this type of nonsense. After a few months you can't tell anymore what was sold in their previous transactions. If there is a way to "game" a system these people figure it out.
When they make stuff up, a lot of times it can be proved false. The troll enderwiggens made the mistake of sharing seemingly insignificant information about when he was in kindergarten. In a different set of posts he claimed to be a West Point graduate along with information that made it possible to pin point which year he supposedly graduated.
When he was confronted about the discrepancy... his claims became more and more outrageous. First he claimed that he was the same age as most of his classmates. When pressed he claimed to have started school when he was 4 and entered West Point when he was 15 and graduated at 19, which would have tied the youngest ever graduate, John W. Warren who graduated in 1945.
This was all in relation to a discussion where he was claiming that Obama, despite his questionable associations and history of drug abuse could have received a Top Secret security clearance. This of course was laughable to say the least.
LOL!
