GB = I post 4 times and then claim I am "too busy" to respond to substantive argument. Logical consistency isn't your thing is it?

Also, McCain did better among those with HS degrees, some college, and college degrees, than he did those without.

Bush won all 3 categories. Both Kerry and Obama won those without H.S. diplomas.

But clearly it is all Republicans who are uneducated. But then facts and partisan rhetoric rarely coincide.

Why doesn't gigglebox condemn ACORN for wanting to do this in 5 different regional offices?

Actually, it's a combination of having to cut my grass, pick my nose and just not caring what you're screaming about today.

Being a real person.

Try it sometime Paul.

You might actually get a vote or two.

It did not take the left wing long to blame right wing blogs for ACORN wanting to help someone set up a CHILD BROTHEL. Why doesn't gigglebox condemn ACORN for wanting to do this in 5 different regional offices? If you do not condemn these outrageous actions by ACORN you must support it. Representative Price voted to continue to allow ACORN to receive taxpayer dollars. Rep. Price has not come out to condemn ACORN's actions. That is something for the 4th district democrats to think about.

GB -

Though I disagree with them, your arguments have some merit. Why do you diminish them by personally insulting any poster that disagrees with you on this board?

It is a shame that anonymity brings out the worst in some people.

Hilarious! And I know. All that Perdue and Easley stuff is just a footnote to what they write about those hacks not in power?

Born dumb or worked at it?

Yeah, you're right, Gigglebox. Journalists are supposed to expose only bad stuff the right wing does. Left-wing shenanigans? Nothing to see here, move along.

All I can say is, consider the source. Dreier's a wholly owned subsidiary of Big Labor. Just check out this piece he wrote for The Nation:

Holy smokes! Somebody has a job! And they write for a magazine!

I'm currently out of tar and feathers being all poor and stuff, but if you could get an in-kind from Dallas Woodhouse, I'd appreciate it.

Not the kind of guy who's going to produce an unbiased study, IMHO.

Thanks PJ for pointing out that smart people vote Democrat and don't watch Fox News.

Is your party seriously based on those that don't go to college? I mean, that's about what you said. People with educations vote Democrat. Duh.

How, is your marketing campaign to raise more stupid Republicans working out?

Senator, why don't you give your colleagues a seminar on Increasing Government Revenue, and show them that increasing taxes reduces government revenues, and decreasing taxes increases government revenues. The economics of this inverse relationship is fairly easy to prove, to the educated mind. Wait, why bother.

Great letter Senator Berger! Your arguments are exactly right and I am proud that you were published in the WSJ. Your words represent the common sense that the vast majority of North Carolinians have. Thank you and keep on fighting.

And again (x3), Freedom's Watch doesn't give a hoot about energy, immigration, Fannie, Freddie or Chili Mac. They only care about waging war:

"Freedom's Watch targeting Iran

After successfully holding the line on Congressional support for the surge in Iraq, wealthy Bush backers are turning their attention and money to drumming up support for military action against Iran.

If the U.S. undertakes military action against Iran, you can credit such longtime neoconservatives as Norman Podhoretz, William Kristol, Michael Ledeen and the swarm of ideologues buzzing about Washington's right wing think tanks. You can also credit Pastor John Hagee and his Christians United for Israel, a Christian Zionist outfit with unbending support for Israel. And credit also the billionaire and multimillionaire founders of Freedom's Watch for helping smooth the way.

While supporting the surge in Iraq was its first public campaign, Freedom's Watch has another target in mind: Iran.

In late September, the group ran a newspaper advertisement calling Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad "a terrorist."

"If you look at how Iraq was sold to the American public, a number of pro-war groups and committees of the same ilk and backing had meetings at the White House, embarked on policy discussion tours around the country with media, and appeared as experts on news shows," Stauber pointed out.

"It should be remembered that Freedom's Watch is run by a White House PR flack [Ari Fleischer] who was key to selling that last war. It is the same script, same images, same messages, and same players. And it is likely to provoke the same response from the mainstream media."
