Although if Obama is re-elected, my avatar and sig line will be the least of my worries. Someone will have to put me on suicide watch.:lamo

OH, im a good sport and ill help you out as much as I can! problem is im not wired bias, im objective.

In many ways I like hannity, rush, beck, etc. I listen to them daily and DVR their shows. The difference is for me I view them for what they are entertainment, i have no false premise about who and what they are.

Also as far as liberal vs conservative goes you'll have similar luck there, basically none. Ive been "attacked" as and by both.

If you need something though you could still pick those people. Make me say palin is smart and intelligent, or beck always tells the truth, or MSNBC or FOX are totally objective, or that Al Sharpton is a class american, has excellent poise and foresight.

LOL saying any of those lies would be suck.
 
Cain's name recognition went up a few points. His Positive Intensity score is the best of everyone's.

With Huckabee Out, No Clear GOP Front-Runner
The exceptional individual in this group is businessman Cain. He is recognized by 29% of Republicans and receives the highest Positive Intensity Score, based on those who know him, of any candidate measured. One-quarter of those familiar with Cain have a strongly favorable view, and only 1% have a strongly unfavorable view.
The biggest challenge for those in the Republican field beyond Palin, Gingrich, and Romney right now is increasing their name recognition. Observers continue to point to candidates such as Pawlenty, Daniels, and Huntsman as potential challengers for the GOP nomination, but none of them is known by more than half of Republicans at this point. Additionally, none of these less well-known candidates or possible candidates, except for Cain, is generating unusual enthusiasm among those who do know them, which suggests their need to attract attention to their candidacies in the months ahead.
The challenge for Bachmann and Cain will be to maintain their strongly positive positioning as they become more widely known.

whoops, here's the newer poll. He's up to 33% name recognition

Herman Cain Begins Race With High Positive Intensity
Georgian Cain, former CEO of Godfather's Pizza, officially announced his presidential candidacy on Saturday. His Positive Intensity Score of 27 matches the highest yet recorded for any candidate or potential candidate this year. Cain's name recognition among Republicans remains quite low -- at 33%, better than only Gary Johnson's 20% and Jon Huntsman's 27% -- but has climbed 12 points since March.
None of the three best-known Republicans who are considered potential candidates for the GOP nomination -- Palin, Romney, and Gingrich -- has a significantly above-average Positive Intensity Score. Palin does slightly better than Romney, while Gingrich trails both. But none comes close to the positive image measured previously for Mike Huckabee, who recently announced he won't run, or to the strong reactions two less well-known candidates -- Cain and Bachmann -- generate. There is thus no potential candidate who at this point combines a high name ID with strongly positive reactions among Republicans. Gingrich in particular faces the challenge of a below-average Positive Intensity Score and overall unfavorable ratings that have been inching up.

There are no signs yet that two Republicans who recently announced their candidacies -- Paul and Pawlenty -- are gaining ground among Republicans nationally. Pawlenty's Positive Intensity Score is about average, while Paul's is slightly below average. Pawlenty's name recognition is still below 50% and has not improved in recent weeks.

Cain is not unknown to me. I heard him first in 2009.
I'm not soured on Palin. I think she would be great as Cain's energy czar. I don't think there is any way she can beat Obama and I hope she doesn't run. She'll take votes from Cain if she does.

So you don't believe that Palin could beat a Socialist out to destroy the country????

Hmmmm..................You know I have a bet with Barbtxx that Cain will not win the primary. When she loses the bet she has to fly an avatar of my choosing for a year. I kind of like the sound of your suggestion above for her. What do you think Barb, how would you like, "I am Cat's bitch"?

except LOL it's also the combined opinion ROFL of about 1400 years if Islamic Jurisprudence LMAO and LOL is also ROFLMAO the sum of their historical experience.

Imagine if, under Christianity, the only fully legitimate Chief Executive was the Pope. That would be about the equivalent of Islamic Jurisprudence on this issue - which is why every single Muslim Empire has claimed the mantle of the Caliphate.

It is for radio show hosts not born in the U.S. Speaking of which, I haven't seen any Conservatives demanding to see Herman Cain's long form birth certificate ... whazzup with that??

Not as easily as Cain. People believe she is an airhead. That's a hard thing to get past no matter how untrue it is.
 
Herman Cain Holds Intensity, Zogby Lead - Katie Pavlich


“A lot of people don’t think I’ve got a shot,” he said. “They [establishment republicans] obviously are out of touch with the real folks. The real folks don’t seem to have a problem with my candidacy.”
Cain is expecting a tough primary fight and believes winning the GOP nomination will be harder than ultimately beating Barack Obama.

How hard can it be to beat a Socialist out to destroy the country??? And you think Palin would have trouble doing that, so you prefer Cain?

I kind of feel like I'm taking advantage of her gullibility, but she was so defiant about such an obvious poor choice I felt the need to teach her a little humility via our friendly bet.

....do you have no education whatsoever in Islamic history, are you just making stuff up, or are you playing a double game here, and just trying to make people espousing the viewpoint that you are look stupid?


because arguing that Islam doesn't view religion and government as indistinguishable is soooort of like arguing that you can have Christianity without the church. the second is considered the expression of the first.

The first step is to convince the electorate that Obama is really a socialist out to destroy the country, and not just an intelligent and well meaning, but inexperienced liberal Democrat.

Since there is no real evidence of the "socialist out to destroy the country" mantra, at least not one that anyone who would vote for a Democrat under any circumstances would actually believe, the task is quite a lot more difficult than the above post would indicate.

Sorry, but yes, the Republicans really do have to come up with an electable candidate. So far, I've seen little evidence that they will do so.

you keep saying that over and over again like its ture but it simply is not, many many many Muslims do NOT practice it that way just like many many many Christians do not practice their book literally, not all christian bomb abortion clinics just like not all Muslims are terrorist LMAO

sorry I live in reality while you live in some melodramatic fantasy world, my point will always stand because its fact and on the basis of what I was debating is 100% true, he showed a sad stereotypical behavior that was illogical and or bigoted, period


nothing you say will change that fact no matter what you have convinced yourself of and your failing desperate attempts to insult only expose you more than I already have, no need to be mad and lash out LOL
