baron muchhumpin: well gee wiz phildo, where can i get honest data then? Where would YOU go? please give us a comprehensive list so we'll all have the same info as you
You need to know the margin of error there and essentially they are neck an neck in many areas.
At this point Obama should be ahead by much larger margins.

tatsuma: According to a poll from two weeks ago, 38% of Democrats want the individual mandate part struck down, and 12% of Democrats wants Obamacare to be repealed fullstop.
So that means that half of Democrats want either part of Obamacare or all of it repealed.
The 12 is a part of the 38 and if they understood the least little bit about the issue, they'd know the you might as well repeal it fullstop if you get rid of the individual mandate.
But the most voters on both sides are fairly ignorant about most things...

Considering 100% of Democrats passed it, I'd say that is significant.
Even Obama himself wants it gone, he told the Supreme Court that it would not work without the mandate. If the mandate gets struck the whole law does not work according to Obama himself.
It is almost like he wants it gone too.

Well regardless, the 38 obviously don't realize that repealing the mandate invalidates most of the parts that they do like, from the insurance industry perspective.

It has defined the Democrats.
If it is repealed then they wasted two years and ignored the economy for it.
If it is not repealed then the GOP has a shit ton more ammo in the campaign.
Either way it is lose lose for them. The Democrats who are retiring are coming out saying it was a mistake.

grahams: I feel like I should have one, but I'm not even sure I could use a slide rule at this point :/. Just not a skill that I have a lot of call for.
I learned it about 5th or 6th grade. (at least the elementary functions).
I was lazy (aren't all engineers? brain power instead of muscle power) and it was much easier to multiply/divide, calculate roots and inverses and the like on the slide rule instead of using a pencil and paper. I only had one teacher who insisted it had to be done on paper (taking square roots) and I promptly forgot how to do that when that class/year was finished.
Except for specialized rules (like on Apollo and flight navigators used) my slide rule was pretty much where the state of the art was when scientific calculators came in and completely displaced them.
That Versalog I got at college has 24 scales, of which I learned to use about half of.

And why would it be? Republicans are going to vote for Romney because, well, better Romney than 4 more years of Obama.
And Obama cannot exactly attack Romney for Romneycare either without damaging himself in the process.
In the Romneycare versus Obamacare fight, there is no way Obama can win this one

You are failing to notice one key aspect, and I am not surprised, because even Obama is running his '12 campaign like his '08 campaign.
What is it that is different this time? Obama is THE INCUMBENT this time. He has a record he can't defend. Normally most incumbents have a record of success to sit back on, but not this guy. He has to attack his challenger as a man who eats babies with a silver spoon.
(I do love how the Obama campaign tried to walk back the Silver Spoon comment too.)

Im pretty confident that Romney will be able to defend RomenyCare far better than Obama can defend ObamaCare.
I doubt Obama even understands his own legislation. He could never even sell it anyway. Every time he spoke about it, less people wanted it.

luckily your opinion on things like this means absolutely nothing
I'll also stick with my proven algorithm of life
Someone like you = 100% republican, 100% anti DEM
if you say something is not an issue (war on women, gays social issues), then it is a HUGE issue in the race, that favors Obama
That means more INDs will swing to the DEM side, leaving Romney only the core repub voting block, which won't be nearly enough to win

Not true. There are many things I hate about the GOP and there are somethings I like about the Dems. But they way they have acted the last 20 years... forget it.
baron muchhumpin: if you say something is not an issue (war on women, gays social issues), then it is a HUGE issue in the race, that favors Obama
But the "war on women" does not exist, except that the Dems are pushing it. Gay marriage is really not a crucial issue now either.
The majority of people are concerned about the economy.
baron muchhumpin: That means more INDs will swing to the DEM side, leaving Romney only the core repub voting block, which won't be nearly enough to win
Independents will decide the election, if they think the free BCPs and gay marriage are more important than their jobs, family welfare and bank accounts then yes, Obama will win.
I don't think that America is that dumb though.

vet_curm: I learned it about 5th or 6th grade. (at least the elementary functions).
I was lazy (aren't all engineers? brain power instead of muscle power) and it was much easier to multiply/divide, calculate roots and inverses and the like on the slide rule instead of using a pencil and paper. I only had one teacher who insisted it had to be done on paper (taking square roots) and I promptly forgot how to do that when that class/year was finished.
Except for specialized rules (like on Apollo and flight navigators used) my slide rule was pretty much where the state of the art was when scientific calculators came in and completely displaced them.

(you gonna tell me you can do √π in yur head?)
kang: No the math was that he was too involved politically with the Lewinsky scandal to take on the potential scandal of blowing up a Saudi prince to get Bin Laden.
Then he wasn't doing his job, was he? Commander in Chief has meant something. Seemingly only in the distant past now.

The real issue with the Lewinsky scandal is how Clinton himself handled it. He essentially allowed the country to be paralyzed over his arrogance.

Yeah, it was a stupid fucking move topped only by the stupid fucking move Congress made to impeach him for it. And, very likely, 9/11 hinged directly on it since Clinton really did have a hard-on to get Bin Laden and probably would have pushed the button if he'd had the political room to manage the fallout.

In the midst of that 1994 campaign, one of Romney's companies, American Pad & Paper, bought a plant in Marion, Indiana. At the time, it was prosperous enough to be running three shifts.
Bain's first move was to fire all 258 workers, then invite them to reapply for their jobs at lower wages and a 50 percent cut in health-care benefits.

You make it sound like this is odd.
My local Ferrari dealer was just sold. First act of business was to fire everyone and then invite them to reapply for their jobs.
Not everyone got rehired.
But the Ferrari dealership must survive!

If you don't know about Tora Bora then you really don't know anything about the basis for Gulf War II. I'm not sure I understand the full implications but certainly it calls into question much of the political call to war.

You know why Colin had George Tenet in frame when he held up the vial of white powder before Congress?
Because he didn't believe that Tenet was telling the truth about it but after repeated attempts couldn't get him to admit it was faulty intel and would only speak before Congress with Tenet specifically included in frame.

Romney purchased Armco with just $8 million down, borrowing the rest of the $75 million price tag. Then he issued bonds — basically IOUs — to borrow even more to pay himself and his investors $36 million.
Within a year, he'd already made four times his initial investment while barely lifting a finger. But he'd also run up a staggering $378 million in debt on GSI's tab.
It would take a few more years of bleeding, but GSI eventually fell to bankruptcy. The Kansas City mill closed for good; 750 people lost their jobs.
Worse, Romney had shorted their pension fund by $44 million. The feds were forced to cover the difference, while workers saw benefits slashed in bankruptcy court.

There was a Soprano's episode about how that works. I think it was called "Bust Out".
Had no idea it could be done legally though...

Uncool from your mom
Gotta say mom, that surprised me as well.
You seem to be suffering from some type of blatant internal biased corruption. You support rudeness and are against retorts for that rudeness.
Right or wrong... whroes have to stick up for one another. We know that well enough.

It's so stupidly simple that it would probably never occur to most people that it's legal.
Acquire a company in a soft market. Take out huge loans to build the company (and cover your salary and fees). Pilot the fucker right into the ground and walk away with millions.
There's our genius business leader in a nutshell.

Btw, not every private capital firm operates like Bains, although I'm sure many libs believe that. Just like many conservatives believe that all libs want the 2nd amendment repealed and live off of the government.

Bain has some SWEET office space in Boston. I've gone to a few meetings there. John HanDcock tower.. nice on a summer day

Well, this trainwreck has been hilarious to read. I suppose I could spend the afternoon going over every one of phail's posts and explaining point by point why they are both wrong and idiotic, but at this stage anyone who can't see though the flimsy as fuck rationalizations and justifications desperately needs a weekend retreat of electroshock. (capitalism is harsh, destroying productive long term enterprises and the livelyhood of thousands for some short term personal gain is what capitalism is all about, having done so is what makes Romney the most qualified to be president, LOL)
I think instead I'll go watch two flies fuck, I'll have more fun.
Bottom line, Romney is an unmitigated cocksmith, and phail is a waste of skin.
That is all.

so vote republican: It's the cube roots that are hard.
Integral cube roots are surprisingly easy. All you have to do is: (a) memorize the cubes of all the numbers between 1 and 10, and (b) know that the last digit of n^3 is the last digit of n, except when n is 2, 3, 7, or 8 - in which case you invert it by subtracting the last digit from 10.
Armed with just those two things, you can do integral cube roots in your head of anything up to a million. Mentally chop off the last three digits, and round down to the nearest cube you memorized in part (a), and that's your tens digit. Look at the last digit, subtract it from 10 if necessary according to part (b), and presto!

Possibly. I don't recall.
But, essentially, it's the same storyline used in The Producers.
The fact that I'm even comparing the proposed "Leader of the Free World" with a character from a Mel Brooks' movie is goddamn frightening.

burntman: Found it, the lamprey eaten in Portugal is the sea lamprey, that's the parasitic one.
Slimy and prehistoric? I'll have it cooked in blood
And it looks like the US ones are also on the menu
It seems that it's not just the Portuguese.
Now everyone is waiting to see will HRH the Queen take a bite?
(I'll pass on it, myself)
