If the numbers above hold true, you could be right. That's why he's bringing the whole race issue to the forefront again. He's looking to energize his voter base because he knows he's in trouble. But as you said, you never know.
It's the other way around, Juan. The vast majority of Americans - 75 percent - prefer free markets over a government managed economy. I would suggest that it's Mr. Hopey Changey who is causing the problems by using his house majority to force very unpopular legislation on an unwilling American electorate.
"A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 75% of Likely Voters prefer free markets over a government managed economy. Just 14% think a government managed economy is better while 11% are not sure. These figures have changed little since December.
Polling released earlier this week showed that Americans overwhelmingly believe that more competition and less regulation is better for the economy than more regulation and less competition.
Not surprisingly, America’s Political Class is far less enamored with the virtues of a free market. In fact, Political Class voters narrowly prefer a government managed economy over free markets by a 44% to 37% margin. However, among Mainstream voters, 90% prefer the free market.
Outside of the Political Class, free markets are preferred across all demographic and partisan lines. This gap may be one reason that 68% of voters believe the Political Class doesn’t care what most Americans think. Fifty-nine percent (59%) are embarrassed by the behavior of the Political Class."
Do you remember their response to the request that they do something about the problem after they passed the Health Care bill? Obama said something to the effect that he didn't think Congress had the energy to tackle it after the health care battle. WTF??? We sent them there to W O R K. Clearly, it is not a priority issue for them, even though sttes like Arizona are choking on the problems.
Exactly. A viewpoint. When people say "I have a dream" or "ask not what your country can do for you" they are MIMICKING the original author's words to express their agreement or VIEWPOINT. Dori has no reason to want to impress anyone here on CS. I doubt she would go to the trouble of creating such an elaborate lie. Why are you all so hellbent on shredding her?
"I never said I wrote this and I was only thanking people for taking the time to read it! I was never asked if I wrote it and never insinuated that I did....If asked I would have indicated where it was taken from.... But that didn't happen........
What she said, Bodleing, was "I never said I wrote this and I was only thanking people for taking the time to read it!
I was never asked if I wrote it and never insinuated that I did....If asked I would have indicated where it was taken from.... But that didn't happen.........This is just one of the reason the forums are the way they are.... always looking for a reason to attack someone, when I did nothing wrong but share some information...."
You and I both know that it's very easy to get distracted when posting on these forums. The doorbell could have rung, the dog could have needed to go out...anything could have happened that distracted her from wording this post in exactly the right manner.
Moreover, she could have received this "essay" via e-mail a year ago and forgot or never knew who wrote it. Don't you ever save stuff into a file because you like it, then later forget it's origins?
The point is there are just as many viable reasons why her post appeared the way it did - yet many on here never stopped to even consider that and remain convinced she did it deliberately, even though she said otherwise and nowhere in the post did she claim it was hers...just that it's how she felt. I just think it's usually best to give someone the benefit of the doubt, particularly on a social website. There are much more important things to worry about than slamming a fellow member.
There is also the matter of ghost writers and speech writers, of which there are millions. Often they will write beautiful prose straight from the heart, but almost always someone else gets the credit. You don't think the president has a speech writer? Where is HIS or HER outrage at not getting recognition? There is none, because some people are confident enough without the public acknowledgement and are just very happy to earn their reputation in other ways.
I'm sorry Ambrose, but that contention is totally false. As a P.R. writer of many years, my articles routinely run in newspapers and magazines without any sort of name recognition. In face, aproximately 75 percent of what you read in the newspapers are articles submitted by nameless writers and only the editor knows the author.
To me, name recognition isn't important. My reputation with the editors is very important, but I could care less if the general public knows it came from me, or later goes on to quote the article.
