That is a terrific idea! No doubt one of the 'Czars' will move to have all photographic equipment banned from polling places...but I doubt they could do it by tomorrow.

I can hear the squealing and outrage from the left now! Kind of like cockroaches: they don't like it when the light is shined on them.

video was removed for terms of use violation.

Not sure that video removal is a conspiracy, it was a Fox vid after all and could just be a copyright issue. Fox has to protect copyright like anyone else.

Still... conspiracy theories, anyone? >:D

Odds of the average 103-year-old republican voter successfully operating a digital camera?

That's what I thought...

It'll be funny to watch them try tho. Let's get video of people trying to get video. And laugh at the circularity of it all.

Hey annonopussy. At least the 103 year old is out voting. all of your progressive cronies will be sitting on their asses doing bong-hits.

Stephana - an interesting contention, given the results of recent elections. How'd that go for you? (McCain won, right? Something about Palin? How many seats is "60"? Is that a lot?)

More fail from the peanut gallery. I'd laugh at you, but seriously, where's the fun anymore... just too easy.

News flash, anon:
Most Republicans aren't senior citizens. I myself am only 25.

and in true poor-thinking form, you extrapolate yourself (1 person) into the entire electorate. The GOP skews FAR older than progressives. And a rational person would know that.

Are you trying to score points for the other team, or are you just bad at this?

Keep whistling past the graveyard anonyf*ckstick.

McDonnell is landsliding Deeds.

Christie's winning in NJ.

It'll be funny to watch Bunghole Barry be a lame duck as of Jan 2011.

Lukewarm support for Anonyf*ckstick's messiah.

BTW, Bush's approval rating was about 80% at this time in his presidency. Barry now under 50%!

SUCK IT!

and when that does not happen, you will be, what? louder and less rational? I feel like that is all you have to fall back on...

nah. there just arent enough batshit crazy people to make a difference. You may be loud, but you aren't a majority by any means. and you will learn that, once again, in just a few short days.

And I'll be here to laugh about it. Can't wait.

GunnyG - oh, and what exactly had happened on W's watch that resulted in massive PR gains? Was there some event, say around September, 2001, that might have had something to do with a feeling of national unity?

And how'd that turn out in the end?

I thought so.

More poor pattern-recognition from the lowest common denominator. Aren't you proud to be part of that? HA!

Not trying to put a damper on things but these were heard around my office today:
"Yeah but when a New Ebony Kitty Party member smashes the camera with the bat are the same police that had trouble preventing their intimidation last time gonna do anything about it?"
"Besides even if you catch them as soon as the case hits the fed level it will go down the memory hole."
"As you go towards the polls tell the local BP party rep that Kanye West said "Imma let you finish voting, but Mugabe had the greatest election ever.""

ok frank that was actually pretty funny. seems so very unlike the generally humorless crazies around here - you sure you're a GOP voter?

I do have to admit that Obama is the best thing that has happened to the Republican Party since Jimmy Carter.

Of COURSE we bring digital cameras! I'm bringing mine, and hope most of you will too when voting. Take pictures of everything that looks fishy, remember, you are the light scattering the cockroaches. If people weren't so alert, Obama would have turned this country into a third world socialism.

Anonymouse, we Americans are all witnesses to the most precipitous drop in popularity of any modern president in history. IN HISTORY. Even you can't have missed that, whether you do bong hits or >15-yr-old Single Malt Scotch like I do. ;-)

Little surprise that The One has been in permanent campaign mode since entering office. Has it helped?

No. (courtesy Rasmussenreports.com)

Well, actually, it has helped us Conservatives keep a good chuckle on -- especially since 1 July, when Obama's political Ship of Fools last sailed on the surface of that dastardly approval-ratings sea (see above Rasmussen link). ;-)

Actually I consider myself a quasi-libertarian with just a hint of conspiracy theorist. (I know there are aliens but they are just scared to invade any planet with Chuck Norris).

another one from frank. dig it. more like you and i might just have to reassess my opinion of "humorless republicans".

Any joke involving CN is a good joke.

"the most precipitous drop in popularity of any modern president in history"

...was W after the 9/11 high wore off. From essentially 100% immediately after, to lower rated than herpes and pond scum when he left. a close to 80-point swing. were you trying to make a point, or are you just not very bright?

The video was removed, So here is a working link.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neGbKHyGuHU

But it's OK for troll to extrapolate that all conservatives/R's are 103 years old. BTW, those older people are sniffing the death panels, and not liking it at all.

Of course they have video equipment and know how to use it; they've got all those grandchildren.

I'll definitely be taking my camera. I'll also be helping some of those older people out to vote. No one's touching my grannies.

more 'death panels', huh? the fact that they aren't in any way real making no difference to yet another member of the "Stupid, and proud of it" club?

Black helicopters are coming for you! BE VERY AFRAID!

HAHAHAHHHAHAHAHA... love it.

Pomalom says: "Not sure that video removal is a conspiracy, it was a Fox vid after all and could just be a copyright issue. Fox has to protect copyright like anyone else."

Like Monty Python wanting to protect the copyright of their skit that Republican Chris Christiie stole for an ad on his (now scrubbed) campaign website?

Hey anon, aren't you usually uploading kiddie porn to all your gay sites this time of day!? What's the matter, that ole's ED acting up again??

Anon,

It is fear that motivates you to come to this website and leave baiting comments.

The lowliness of your diatribes represents your ineffective need to reassure yourself of your arrogant notions of superiority.

You are not someone to be scorned, but to be pitied. I hope that one day you can live with yourself without feeling the need to attack others in order to make up for your lack of security.

Good luck to you…

If you wouldn't highjack our names so much, then you would know which anon you were talking to. This anon does not support everything the other anon(s) say. Like Karin, I understand there are
lots of young conservatives.

Ted, I'm the anon that provided you with that picture of the Arizona Memorial to set your uninformed belief straight.

Of course, I do recall you used that recycled kiddie porn line on me once too. Lame then, lame now.

Actually a gay liberal I know says he sees you there all the time trying to peddle your kiddie porn. Like here, everyone hate you...

There would only be ONE anon peddeling kiddie porn, a gay liberal troll anon. ;-) Everyone here know that.

You run into a problem snapping pics of voters. Voting is a private matter, and many people like it that way. Many on both sides wear their politics like a badge of honor, but some do not. Anonymous at the start of thread has a point, most conservative voters are older, with pockets of younger voters. On the democratic side, the large amount of voters are younger, under 40. The "bong hits" will likely be saved for the victory parties.

By the way anon, you never answered my question? They kick you out?

Find any reference to Japan on the Arizona Memorial??

re: the average age of both conservatives and liberals.

I believe it was Churchill who said that if one was not a liberal
in one's youth, one had no heart. But, he continued, if one was
not a conservative later in life, one had no brains.

By the way Anon, I'm contacting the ACLU, AARP and Grey Panthers. Your biggoted, racist comments about older Americans is obviously a sign that you're a closet homophobe, racist, hate-monger...in other words, you might just be a Republican (acording to your own read on what Republicans are all about).

I can guarantee, however, you ain't a conservative!

Yep. Can't agree more. Unfortunately for you, you seem to have been speaking for us.

nah. there just arent enough batshit crazy people to make a difference. You may be loud, but you aren't a majority by any means. and you will learn that, once again, in just a few short days in the gubernatorial elections, next year in the mid-terms, and in 2012.

You libby's figured "you won", and pushed too damn hard. So hard, in fact, you've managed to wake up all those "moderates" that you suckered in with slick ads, empty (but nice sounding) platitudes and layer-upon-layer of pure, unadulterated bullshit last fall. They thought they were voting for Hope n' Change; now they're realizing all they can do is 'hope' they get to keep some of their 'change', since you Marxist a$$holes are going to steal everything else. And they're getting pissed.

Face it, lil' jack-booted "progressive"... you shot your wad too early. Premature-revelation syndrome; you showed your hand too fast. The truth about your agenda is coming out before you could fully cram it down America's throat, it's ugly as hell, and you're about to get trounced.

I agree with another poster... Obama, Pelosi, and Reid are the best thing to happen for conservatives since James Earl Carter.

but you'll learn that once again...

http://www.uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/national.php?f=0&year=1980

"the most precipitous drop in popularity of any modern president in history"

Let's look at some data.

President approval Highest - Lowest = drop
44 Obama 69 - 50 = 19
43 Bush 90 - 25 = 65
42 Clinton 73 - 37 = 36
41 Bush 89 - 29 = 60
40 Reagan 68 - 35 = 33
Source

So certainly not the largest drop.

19 points in 9 months isn't the fastest drop either. Truman, Nixon, Reagan, and both Bush's can beat that handily

It also seems that the biggest change for Obama is not in the teabaggers, but in the progressives, who object to the excessive compromises being sacrificed on the altar of bipartisanship with a party that has no interest in cooperating on anything.

It is of course the middle that decides elections, not the extreme left or right. How's the reaching out to the middle going? Oh right, those RINOS have no place in the new ideologically pure GOP of Rush, Glenn and Sarah.

Ah yes, the 6th-grader on the playground epithet, "teabaggers". Well, if we're 'teabaggers', that would make you the 'teabag-ees', wouldn't it?

Open wide....

It won't matter if they find shenanegens at polling places. The dems have already rolled out ACORN and SEIU to cook absentee ballots. Beck to day had on John Fund who said there are already absentee ballots with mismatching signatures, and non-english speaking immigrants being duped into voting democrat. These elections will be stolen just like Minnesota was for Franken.

Anon (and perhaps Lunapipistrellus), perhaps I miss-wrote, good sirs. Barack HUSSEIN Obama's drop in popularity has been, if not the most precipitous (yet - his approval never got as high as 90%, of course), then definitely the FASTEST post-first-inauguration. Obama has nosedived in the polls faster post inauguration than any modern president.

I think that this sounds even worse, in fact. He's got nothing to show for his 10 mo in office but failure after embarrassment after failure, starting with those DVDs for Gordy Brown and the self-loving iPod for Their Dear Queen. Forgot about those, didja?

But I know that you knew perfectly well what I meant before, silly troll, you clearly being of that college-educated mindset.

In fact, I bet George HW Bush's dive from over 90 to low-20-ish may have out-done his son's post-9/11 dive. They're close, anyway. Maybe someday I'll look into that. F

YI, I'm no friend of W's, either. Besides our being safe since 9/11, nothing much to show for his two terms but more progressive, soft-socialism encroachment on our nation. >:-P

pomalom....

I kinda-sorta agree with you about Dubya. His first three years were pretty good, in my estimation.. but he started to slip towards the end of his first term. His second totally sucked. Trying to be "bi-partisan" with ideologue Marxist moonbats gets you nowhere, yet he did it in spades. Very disappointed.

That said, if he were running last year instead of McCain, I'd have held my nose and voted for him still. Lesser of two weevils, doncha know.

LOOK AT THE COMMENT COUNT ON THIS ONE!! YOU WOULD THINK THEY ARE TRYING TO HIDE SOMETHING!! ;-)

Funny how they object to ANY kind of scrutiny...

Pomalon: But I know that you knew perfectly well what I meant before, silly troll, you clearly being of that college-educated mindset.
Yes of course, your failure to communicate is not your fault. I should have known what you meant to say and ignored what you actually said.

Barack HUSSEIN Obama's drop in popularity has been, if not the most precipitous (yet - his approval never got as high as 90%, of course), then definitely the FASTEST post-first-inauguration. Obama has nosedived in the polls faster post inauguration than any modern president.

Hmm a lot of qualifiers there. But it doesn't make any difference. Obama isn't the fastest post-first-inauguration drop, that would be Truman who went from 90 to 40 in his first year. Ford went from 80 to 45 in his first year.

911 did give GWB an unprecedented boost in approval (he's the only president on record to experience a rise in approval in his first year), so we don't know how his opening 60% approval would have fared. He did manage to lose 30 points in the following year

So far you're wrong whether we take what you said, meant to say, or imagined saying. I wouldn't hang your faith on first year approval ratings. Obama has set no records, good or bad. In fact his record closely parallels Reagan's in his first year 70 - 50

It's strange, but not surprising, that you think saying someone has a college education is an insult. You should try it.

I love teh cawk. It helps me pay for my booth at the internet cafe. *spit spit*

Lupinnapipistrellus:

Ho hum, let's focus on the math and not the substance shall we. (I never made it past Calculus 3 and statistical mechanics in college, before I went to grad school to probe my navel)

There's a forest here, though: you said

How's the reaching out to the middle going? Oh right, those RINOS have no place in the new ideologically pure GOP of Rush, Glenn and Sarah.

NO, they DON'T. They never should have. The middle is not to be reached out to. Conservative principles are, or should be, monolithic, not mushy. That's sort of like saying, Obama should water down the Marxist-socialist principles that underlie his basic being. I wouldn't expect that of Our Dear Leader.

Look at NY 23rd. I would rather have a GOP candidate like Scozzafava LOSE every time, any time, and if that means the Dem beats Hoffman, so be it. Better the GOP minority be measured in the 100s, than we let the Conservative principles that once were the core of the GOP be contaminated by moderates and progressives.

This nation is trending conservative, anyway. More folks are identifying with Conservatism than Liberal-jism lately, especially since the moderate doofs who just wanted Hope and Change got a little more Change than they bargained for when they pulled that O lever.

pomalom lighten up dude. You're gonna make consevatives sound like neanderthals.

Ugh ugh snort snort

Um.

1) The left started blaming Bush and Republicans for 9/11 on 9/12

2) Obama's popularity has posted the biggest ever drop of any president at the same stage of his first term in 50 years.

Aww someone missed me enough to "namejack"me on a thread I have not even been on. Then you Pomalom show that being a right winger is so easy even a caveman can do it. You need to come to grips that much of the country does not share your values on being "conservative", nor do they share my views on liberalism. That is not the system, it is the American peoples views. That is demonstrated over and over. We live in a country that wavers between center-left and center right, and the best you can do is influence your elected officials, which is not always easy depending on your district. Trying to make Evan Bayh a dyed in the wool liberal is like making Ron Paul pro-war. If you take a minute to engage and enjoy the cultures in our country you will see we are usually in the middle of the road, not to your likening or mine. Yet mindless statements you type once you get you knuckles off the floor sound naive and idiotic.

Odds of the average 103-year-old republican voter successfully operating a digital camera?

Judging by high school graduation statistics, probably comparable with the odds of an inner city Democrat voter figuring out how to operate a ball point pen.

Yes, ghost of wellstone wasn't here he just came back from "skiing" with his dad and his brother, until both his wrists got tired.

Ted, I'm the anon that provided you with that picture of the Arizona Memorial to set your uninformed belief straight.
Posted by: Anonymous at November 2, 2009 3:27 PM

Hi anon, I'm xantl -- the guy who is about to take your own uninformed opinion, and shove it right back into your ample anus with another series of photographs.

This is the memorial for the U.S.S Oklahoma at Pearl Harbor: http://www.ussoklahomamemorial.com/USS_OKLAHOMA_The_Memorial.html
you can clearly see in photograph 9 the text:
"When Japanese torpedo planes attacked on December 7th 1941"

Suck it, you dumb f*ckstick.

Aah, thanks mandible claw, this is the article I was looking for re Obama's super duper fastest drop in polls statistic.

"Ted, I'm the anon that provided you with that picture of the Arizona Memorial to set your uninformed belief straight.
Posted by: Anonymous at November 2, 2009 3:27 PM"

By the way, I have no idea what the "dumb f*ckstick" is talking about. He must be talking about farmer ted or someone else. What a moron. I was never in a thread talking about the Arizona Memorial.

NICE ownage xantl! Wipe the blood off your puss anon! ;-)

Let me refresh your memory TED:

"A Connecticut man wants the words "Killed by Muslim terrorists on November September 11, 2001" on a plaque memorializing his son. The town of Kent says "no way." What is the problem with the truth here? Holocaust memorials make references to Germans. Memorials at Pearl Harbor make reference to the Japanese. The town just wants the memorial to say that his son "passed away." Muslim terrorists did this .. say it like it is."

Posted by: TED at November 2, 2009 8:51 AM

To xanti, yep, the Oklahoma Memorial does mention the Japanese, but in what context? In the context of a history lesson. I don't expect history to ignore the fact that Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. The words on the Arizona Memorial are simply that, a memorial, with no mention of the Japanese.

If the memorial TED mentions is going to contain as much information and as many quotes as the Oklahoma Memorial, then I would expect the words "killed in an attack by Muslim terrorists" would appear.

Notice how an adult is able to respond without spewing obscenities? Try it sometime.

Ted anonowuss isn't talking about me.

Rasmussen says today that if the election were held today, 44% would at least maybe vote for Obama, and 49% would definitely not. And that was against ANYBODY ELSE.

Epic Fail.

What a surprise, the same douchebag that crows on threads about how people were wrong about Japan being mentioned on a Pearl Harbor memorial like this:
"I provided links to pictures of three Pearl Harbor memorials, including the Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor that make no mention of Japan."

is now talking "context" how's this for some context: you're a limp dick, and you were wrong. Context enough for you?
What part of "killed by Muslim terrorists" isn't a "history lesson" ? Perhaps you can correct us some more Professor? You being so smart and all.

xanti, still unable to make a comment without cursing. How very conservative of you.

I already acknowledged you were right re the Oklahoma Memorial, "mentioning" Japan. When I did my earlier search I was unaware that memorial even existed.

However, there is a world of difference between the Oklahoma memorial and the others. You showed the Oklahoma pictures yourself. They contain lots of quotes and lots of narrative, completely unlike the other memorials.

The Kent town council offered to raise the memorial to a 911 victim but refused to use the words his father wanted: "murdered by Muslim terrorists".

If the grieving dad wanted to put those words on his son's tombstone, I expect he could, but I also expect he didn't.

Here's an online memorial to James Gadiel:

http://inmemoriamonline.net/Profiles/Folders/G_Folder/Gadiel_James.html

There's no mention of "murdered by Muslim terrorists"

Here's something else that is not mentioned. Peter Gadiel, the father who is promoting the wording in dispute, is the president of 9/11 Families For a Secure America, a group focusing on illegal immigrants and violent crimes they commit. It's pretty obvious he has a political agenda that goes beyond a memorial to his son.

xanti, still unable to make a comment without cursing. How very conservative of you.
Suck a dick, crybaby.

I already acknowledged you were right re the Oklahoma Memorial,

Right, which is why you're still doing weaseling back-peddling like:
but in what context?
However, there is a world of difference between the Oklahoma memorial and the others.

Forever the liberal, "but...." There is no "but." You were incorrect period. You didn't specify context, or how many times it were to be mentioned, or if there was more plaques with "history" et al before, just they didn't mention Japan.

Here's an online memorial to James Gadiel:
From "Profiles in Grief" of The New York Times
Wait, we're all surprised no mention of murder, or the nature of the terrorism from the NYT, no seriously, STUNNED.

There's no mention of "murdered by Muslim terrorists"
There is also no mention that the text, or the online memorial was maintained by his father either genius.

It's pretty obvious he has a political agenda that goes beyond a memorial to his son.

What is your opinion on Cindy Sheenan? Can you give me a blog you posted that you had this conscious awakening of people using grief for a politcal agenda before?

We'll await with baited breath, your response.

Stop allowing anonymous comments. Make "Name" a required field.

Conservatives hate being laughed at and yet their self-righteous anger is so laughable. Thanks xanti for more of the same.

Re the Times, that was my point. Gadiel's family were content to have a memorial to him written up with information that they provided and they did not insist on "murdered by Muslim terrorists" being included.

Cylar, if we did that, than basically no more of those valued differing opinions would be seen on this blog, 'cept for Lao, ghost of Wellstone, hey you guys, and a few other of our favorite pals.

What a slack-jawed moron.
Please provide evidence that his family submitted the memorial text?

However, for the sake of argument lets say they did provide that very text in that online memorial -- Please explain why does his fathers memorial to his son have to meet your, or any other liberal dipshits approval?

We've seen what whitewashed "memorials" you mouth breathers churn out: "Crescent of Embrace" and the hippy "Freedom Tower" (When most people wanted to rebuild the WTC plus one more floor) liberals always insist that the memorials should be sanitized of the true events that occurred: Which is why of course you're incensed at the inclusion of the words "Muslim terrorists."

Perhaps his father should check with you, about what words to include on his grave stone too, Buddy, make sure you approve.

I noticed you did not include any reply about Cindy Sheenan, I guess I can assume you, much like your liberal brethren used to rub your micro-penis with glee every time the media used her to bludgeon President Bush.

More and more funny xanti, you must have been breathing pretty hard yourself after typing that screed.

I didn't say the family wrote the text but they did contribute all the personal anecdotes cited.

"...his father's memorial to his son" was not his father's. The town offered to raise a memorial and asked what he wanted written on it. The town did not approve his choice.

If the father wants to raise his own memorial to his son, he can use whatever words he wants and stick it on his front lawn. Maybe you should start a fund so he can buy a billboard.

I already addressed gravestones. Do try to pay attention.

The father has tried to claim that the fact that Muslim terrorists attacked us on 911 is "being suppressed". Get real. Is there anyone in the country who is not aware of what happened that day and who was behind it? (Truther flakes don't count).

As for Cindy "i guess I can assume..." that you want to change the subject and talk about Bush. Too, too, funny.

I want to change the subject? No, you want to change the subject.
I specifically asked what your opinion of Cindy Sheenan was, after you accused the father of using his sons death to make a political message - and of course you avoided the question because it doesn't fit your own agenda.
I asked you why his memorial text had to meet your approval, you of course avoided it.

I wonder, would you be against a Matthew Sheppard memorial mentioning he was killed for being Gay? or that James Byrd was murdered by racists? Of course not, those are liberals pet "Hate crime" rhetoric.

So far, you've done some epic back-peddliong and avoidance especially since you came in this thread swinging your dick and roaring like a lion that other people were "incorrect" what's wrong forgot your meds for your little man syndrome?

Did I say the text needed to meet with my approval? I have nothing to do with it.

Matthew Shepard Memorial

James Byrd Jr. Memorial Park

More avoidance. I didn't ask what the memorials said, I have google too limpdick. I asked your specific opinions on them - however you seem to come up short as usual.

Why not sink back into irrelevance, you're all done here.

I am perfectly happy with the memorials as they are. Unlike you, I like memorials to celebrate the life of the person who was lost, not
wallow in vindictive bitterness over who killed them.

Yes, Stalin would be proud of you, you liberal dipshit. Erasing history is good, especially if it doesn't meet your liberal agenda.
Of course you just love to celebrate life don't you? Unless of course it's an unwanted baby -- then it's scissors to the skull time, amirite?

Too funny xanti or should I say Zanti, a misfit alien bug with a poison mouth. You adopted a very appropriate moniker.

Bye-bye.

Next?
