feck me. Trump is such an attention whore. The annoying thing is people actually give him the time of day when he should be ridiculed.
 
I was trying to think of a word to best describe Trump, someone so comically ignorant, self-important and pathetic. I think I've been approaching it from the wrong angle though, maybe people like that should just be called "trumps".
 
I just flicked over to FNC expecting to see him on there but they are still going on about Benghazi.

I thought that 'issue' was dead and buried.
 
Someone on twitter said, Obama should ask for the money to be donated to the group fighting the golf course Trump wants to build in Scotland
 
If you're talking hot women in politics you need to go no further than Dana Loesch. I'd become a teabagger just to hold her hand for five minutes.

We should make this a campaign.
 
There's a woman with a joker mouth that I've noticed...katherine Mary summat. Some other bird with huge bangers that I saw on Bill Maher...a business news bird...don't know its name.
 
The four presidential and vice presidential debates of the 2012 election season featured countless questionable or conflicting claims, giving the nation’s fact-checkers more than their fair share of work. Here are some of their key findings from the debates:

Contrary to Obama’s claims, PBS does account for 90 percent of federal spending
All four candidates incorrectly stated they were “happy to be here” during the debates
Jim Lehrer misspoke when he described himself as the moderator of the first debate
Mitt Romney erroneously claimed there were “less jobs” today than four years ago, when, in actuality, it’s “fewer jobs.” “Less” applies to an amount that can’t be counted directly, such as the volume of a liquid
All of the candidates cited their deep religious beliefs despite there being no God
Paul Ryan inaccurately claimed he was running for vice president. The candidate is actually running for president in 2016
In Boca Raton, moderator Bob Schieffer incorrectly and repeatedly referred to himself as Brad Shaffler
Despite Obama’s assertions, Americans are not the world’s most inspiring, hard-working people—that honor goes to the Dutch
All those numbers being thrown around were close enough
 
Moving slightly away from Donald Derp and teabagging (I know I know, but we can get back to that soon), this is a really interesting article on the ground operations of both campaigns: http://www.theatlantic.com/politics...-game-that-could-put-him-over-the-top/264031/

Key point - the Democrat operation was a nice-to-have in 08, but he'd have won anyway. This time round it could be crucial.

Interesting quote:

Some Republicans admit that the ground game is a weakness for the party. In Colorado, one top GOP consultant who has worked on presidential campaigns told me he mentally added 2 to 4 points to Obama's polls in the state based on superior organization.
 
:lol: this thread.

All you have to do is mention a pretty lady and all the serious discussion goes and everyone's just a horndog.

but yeah, Burnett is very attractive.

Whats the problem with that :confused:

President Job Approval
Gallup 10/21 - 10/23 1500 A 53 42 +11 :eek:

Has to be the last depate.

Also Gallup now only has Romney up by 3 Nationally.

Could also just be Gallup steadily reverting to sanity, although that's quite a big change in approval over one day.

Also: Bill

 
I don't particularly agree with him there. Nor do I feel the need to, just because I vote for the mother party. Unge Høyre are quite infamous in that regard. I do think government ownership of (and in) key industries is crucial (as with Telenor, Statoil, etc). If we'd have followed the Frp (or as they were called at that point, Anders Langes Parti for Sterk Nedsettelse av Skatter og Avgifter) way when we had found the oil, we'd have sold it off for a quick buck to some American or Dutch or British company. There's no party I despise more. I'd probably vote for Rødt or Krf before them.

Of course, but that article is remarkably dumb.

I don't like Frp. As I said, I'm somewhere in the middle.
 
That article struck me as completely pointless. I don't make a habit of reading opinion pieces in the paper, though. I do read those in the member magazine for Utdanningsforbundet, though. At one point there were several people, teachers, who were upset with Utdanningsforbundet affirming the existence of climate change, or something to that effect.

Many laughs were had.
