Obama moving to center...

True. But we're stuck with him for the next 3 years. He's doing this to help out the governors, senators, Reps and etc. If the elections keep going as they have, he'll be a lame duck for 2 years. That would suit me just fine at this point.

Thrown out of office... that's the best laugh I have had all day! Can anyone tell me what the results were of the exit polls when the Dems lost the Mass. election?

free4rms: Exit polls are pretty meaningless. What counts is who wins, who loses and why. While half the country likes the Pres as a person, a lot less than that like his policies and politics. That's why the Dems lost Mass. and that's why they'll probably lose a lot more elections in the next cycle. Obama was elected because folks were fooled into thinking he was something he's not, a centrist. Instead, we got a guy who really is out of touch with what Americans want and need and instead is only interested in his own leftist agenda. I think lots of folks who voted for him are finally seeing what he's about and rethinking their support. That's what the Mass election was all about. Also Mass folks have already seen how government health care has worked out and they sure don't want an additional dose of Obamacare....Mel

In a Texas A&M classroom, they were discussing the qualifications to be President of the United States. It was pretty simple the candidate must be a natural born citizen of at least 35 years of age.

However, one girl in the class immediately started in on how unfair was the requirement to be a natural born citizen. In short, her opinion was that this requirement prevented many capable individuals from becoming president.

The class was taking it in and letting her rant, and not many jaws hit the floor when she wrapped up her argument by stating "What makes a natural born citizen any more qualified to lead this country than one born by C-section?"

Yep, these are the same kind of 18-year-olds that just voted in our last election and they walk among us.

Funny doc

For those of you who missed the point, there were no exit polls. Therefore any explanations for why the dems lost the election, and there can be multiple reasons, are just guesses. The majority of the networks say that the vote was not a referendum on health care. But everyone has an opinion. Just as it is my opinion that the Republicans are much, much further out of touch with what Americans want than the dems, and the Republican's very low approval rating shows that, anyone can form an opinion. And exit polls are not insignificant, compared to just making wild guesses.

Yep, got to agree with Toad here. The majority of the networks are nothing more than leftist shills. They're not even news stations, they're merely propaganda machines. They're not making guesses. No, they're voicing wishes. They wish this election was not a referendum on Obamacare which anyone with a brain knows it was. While there might not have been any real exit polls, there were a few man on the street type interviews from the polling places in Mass which did mention Obama healthcare plan in a negative light. Vance, you just listen to the wrong news stations, that's all *L*....Mel

Doc - that is hilarious and very creative, I don't care what side of the debate you're on. Thanks for the clip.

*L* Mel. Yeah, I know what you mean... the Faux news network in particular is worst propaganda machine there is. The Al-Jazeera of the Republican party, or what I like to call the GOP-Jazeera. And as I pointed out in an earlier thread, the media overall across the U.S. is more conservative, not liberal. The editorials of the majority of all the major newspapers (representing the greatest portion of the total population of this country) are rightist shills. And even then the majority of news outlets say the outcome was not a referendum on health care. After all, the state of Mass. has a health program, so why would that be a major motivating factor for the voters in that state?
It is obvious, and anyone with half a brain can see, that the right wingers are grasping at any straws they can find to try to regain the white house. After 8 years of one of the worst Republican administrations in our country's history (and elected by conservatives), they know they have an extremely high hill to climb to get to the top again. And if they take the advice of a few "men on the street", they have an even tougher climb ahead of them. The last thing the conservatives want is for any democratic president to pass any health care reform, even a really good one, because they know that if a dem. president does so, he/whe will be so popular the republicans will have an even harder time regaining the white house.
Toad, you are right about one thing. Anything I say is just my opinion, too. However, the networks who say this was not a referendum on health care have tons of analysts who look at the political scene and don't just base their claims on guesses. We may not always agree with them, but at least there is some analyzing and research behind their opinions.
