Reid on the Ropes in Nevada

You mean like death panels and socialism? I won't argue no misinformation came from democrats, but it is the blantant lies of the opposition that have made it impossible to treat this subject reasonably.

I mean like rates will remain low and it will reduce the debt

Hell, compared to death panels and socialism, those are prue minor league. And campared to how fast thingws were growing before reform, in the long run, the democrat fib may trun out to be true. Howevr, the death panel socialism stuff never will be true. Lie of the year stuff.
 
THAT's why rory says his dad's bill is bad for nevada?

LOL!

meanwhile, today:

The latest poll for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, taken Sept. 20-24, had Angle and Reid tied, 43-43. It was conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research, which uses random-digit dialing to call voters. Previous Mason-Dixon surveys showed the race within a point or two, with Reid up over Angle.

Using similar polling methods, a string of surveys this past week gave Angle the edge, however. One put her at the 50 percent mark for the first time.

An auto-dial Rasmussen poll showed Angle edging Reid, 50-46, just within the margin of error of plus or minus four percentage points. CNN/Time had Angle up, 42-40, and Fox News 49-46

"The race is still a toss-up, but it is looking increasingly grim for the majority leader," concluded Real Clear Politics, which had Angle pulling ahead for the first time in poll watch.

"Nevada had long been in a stalemate, and even if these reeds of evidence are thin, they are enough for the forecasting model to make Ms. Angle a 66 percent favorite, up from 56 percent last week," [new york times polling expert nate] Silver wrote on Friday.

wow, there must REALLY be something wrong with the SITTING SENATE LEADER, 24 year vet

i mean, playing underdog to a WHACK JOB

i wonder what his problem could possibly be...

The Republicans.. since they will have the seat and can gloat. That she is a wack job and will cause massive problems for them later on and cause the US harm, does not matter to the Republicans.. they won after all.. and winning is all that matters for the Republicans. The Republicans dont care about Americans, only about themselves after all.

Ah yes, let the oversimplication and petty justifications begin.

Actually, no, people from all sides have been collectively watching with a "WTF" look on their face since Obama and his ilk got into action. People are screaming "where are you getting all this money?" and "what in the hell have we elected?"

November will be the classic do-over from Americans, who are over the "historical" idea of electing a black guy no matter what he actually believes in.

Actually WINNING is ALL that matters for Democrats because if it were different than someone like Boxer would never have arrived in the Senate to begin with considering her 1992 First race against Bruce Herschenson- or Frank Lautenbergs narrow 1982 Win over Millicent Fenwick.

If you're talking about Angle, I would ask how did she get the nomination. If you're talking about Ried, I repeat the questions:

I would agree it is a problem with both parties. What escapes me is why we play that game with them?

Poor as in he doen't have lots of money? I thought the Democrats hated rich people, wanted to increase their taxes and make them pay 'their fair share'? You should be thrilled someone without money is runnig for elected office.

The poor, which was refering to Reid, was about performance. I think you know that, but either way, you're still not answering the questions. I wonder why?
 
And campared to how fast things were growing before reform, in the long run, the democrat fib may trun out to be true.


Wait, wait, wait here...."The Democrat Fib"? what was that according to you? would that be....

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama told voters repeatedly during the health care debate that the overhaul legislation would bring down fast-rising health care costs and save them money.

snip

THE FACTS:Health spending already accounts for about 17 percent of the economy and is projected to grow to nearly 20 percent in 2019.

news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_obama_fact_check

Or was the "Fib" that:

No one will be compelled to buy coverage.

THE FACTS: Obama is behaving as if he said never a hostile word about the mandate. Earlier this month, in a letter to Sens. Max Baucus, D-Mont., and Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., he blithely declared that he was all for "making every American responsible for having health insurance coverage, and making employers share in the cost."

But just like Hillary, he is refusing to say precisely what he will do to those who want to forgo insurance. There is a name for such a health care approach: It is called TonySopranoCare.

Obama's Top Five Health Care Lies - Forbes.com

And on, and on....

Hell, compared to death panels and socialism, those are prue minor league.....However, the death panel socialism stuff never will be true.

Well, not so fast Joe....

If President Obama wanted to keep a lid on that particular controversy, he just selected about the worst possible nominee for director of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the office that oversees government health care programs. Obama’s pick, Dr. Donald Berwick, is an outspoken admirer of the British National Health Service and its rationing arm, the National Institute for Clinical Effectiveness (NICE).

“I am romantic about the National Health Service. I love it,” Berwick said during a 2008 speech to British physicians, going on to call it “generous, hopeful, confident, joyous, and just.” He compared the wonders of British health care to a U.S. system that he described as trapped in “the darkness of private enterprise.”

Berwick was referring to a British health care system where 750,000 patients are awaiting admission to NHS hospitals. The government’s official target for diagnostic testing was a wait of no more than 18 weeks by 2008. The reality doesn’t come close. The latest estimates suggest that for most specialties, only 30 to 50 percent of patients are treated within 18 weeks. For trauma and orthopedics patients, the figure is only 20 percent.

‘Death panels’ were an overblown claim – until now | The Daily Caller - Breaking News, Opinion, Research, and Entertainment

Left-leaning New York Times economic columnist Paul Krugman says the so-called "death panels" established by President Obama's trillion-dollar nationalized health-care plan will end up saving "a lot of money" for the government.

The comments from Krugman, who also writes on the New York Times blogs, came during a discussion of "Obamacare" on the ABC News Sunday program "This Week."

And on, and on that debate goes.

Lie of the year stuff.

the only "Lie of the year stuff" that is going on here is through demo's desperate to salvage their own credibility in this election cycle. They are lying Joe. And you are buying it hook, line, and sinker....consider:

Are you saying it was the truth? Otherwise, you're agreeing with me? BTW, If you really care about valid sources, I wouldn't use Forbes on political stuff. Their bias can be found in both language and inaccuracy.

Well, not so fast Joe....

A lie repeated is still a lie. Lie of the year as I recall.


And on, and on that debate goes.

No, it doesn't. It was a lie, and there is no debate about that. Being a tool who believes falsehoods despite the clear evidence doesn't make it debatable. Sorry. Birthers suffer from the same problem as those who believe there would be death panels.

Priceless that you use Beck here. Like I keep saying, garbage in equals farbage out. ;)
 
You and others are free to answer the questions:

Well, let's break this down just a little bit shall we?

First off, the term "whack job" is a subjective term meant to demean Sharon Angle simply because you disagree with her policies and statements, however, it is clear that according to the polls that Nevadans have her in the lead with Reid never above 50% and losing ground in his campaign. So you are clearly in the minority of thinking here.


Second, describing Reid, a career politician who has been caught in more lies than anyone I can think of recently, and a moron to boot, is going to lose, and I say good riddance.

Now, carry on.

I am asking you to clarify what you are terming as the "Fib" here. Pretty simple really.

If you really care about valid sources, I wouldn't use Forbes on political stuff. Their bias can be found in both language and inaccuracy.

So you don't like the source....Too bad, refute the content. My guess is that you can't.

A lie repeated is still a lie. Lie of the year as I recall.

You have to show where this is a lie, That is the standard adhered to by demo's, so I am anxiously awaiting your refutation.

No, it doesn't. It was a lie, and there is no debate about that.

Sorry, you don't get to determine that.

Being a tool who believes falsehoods despite the clear evidence doesn't make it debatable. Sorry.

Again, you are not refuting anything. Name calling, and intellectual vapidness is no argument, just a reflection of how lacking your argument is.

Birthers suffer from the same problem as those who believe there would be death panels.

Who's the "Birther"?

Priceless that you use Beck here. Like I keep saying, garbage in equals farbage out.

Notice again folks, how nothing in that Beck clip is refuted by Joe here, just ridicule, and mockery. Pure Allinsky pap.

Please explain the "harm" you think Angle will cause.

You don't know what the word FIB means? Seriously? A little lie.

Nothing to refute. No real substance.

There were never any death panels; that's the lie. In fact, the actual panels they were considering would have give more care, more options than there is now. Insurance companies make cost decisions daily, denying care, but they don't have death panels either.

Sorry, you don't get to determine that.

Says who? You might want to debate whether it is day time here or not, but that would make it a valid debate. Just because some want to pretend something is there that isn't don;t make it a debate. And yes, I can determine that.


Again, you are not refuting anything. Name calling, and intellectual vapidness is no argument, just a reflection of how lacking your argument is.

Again, it's Beck. What thinking person addresses Beck. if this is as valid as you claim, find a valid source. I won't play with Beckish games.

Who's the "Birther"?

Reading comprehension is your friend. Try reading it again. I'm making a comparison.

Again, it would be like disputing Eric Cartman. Or talkign to a coffee table as someone put it. No point. Anything that is valis can be found in a valid source. IF you can't do that, you should rethink your position.

Yes, it is a subjective term. I didn't use it, but questioned the person who did use it. If that person believes what he or she wrote, an answer seems appropriate.

But the question is if Ried is as bad as you say, and Angle is a bad as others claim, and I believe both to be true, why shold anyone in Nevada be happy? And second, why should the nation be happy?

With arrogance, and a serious lack of substance coming from you as quoted here, it is abundantly clear, that you are not going to honestly address any debate that doesn't agree with you, nor do you have any intention of backing up any of your claims. It is for that reason that I admittedly sadly move on to debate people that are interested in furthering an actual discussion, and not a playground tantrum as you exhibit here.

when you return to a more honest form of discussion, maybe we can have back and forth, but your positions to this point are ridiculous and are undeserving of my time, or effort.

Where is the Joe I know?

J, you give me mere rants, the Beck clip being some of the best satire I've heard in years, and talk about substance? Be serious. You fill your head with nonsense and expect others to treat it as if it were valid. I will no longer do that. Time is too short. If you want to put up something real and vlaid, and can support it properly, with valid sources, and with reasonable discourse, I'll go with you all day. But people like Beck and Obeman (it's not a party thing) have hurt us badly and we should not eat their garbage.
