— Ace Pollsters cannot account for this phenomenon, but they're 99% sure it's due to hate.
Sweet, sweet warming hate. Like a shot of good whiskey, or the joyful frisson one feels after setting fire to an immigrant's convenience store.

Also, young voters aren't very enthusiastic this year.
The fact that voters under age 50 -- and particularly those under 30 -- are less enthusiastic about voting this year is not a new phenomenon; voter turnout typically skews older. The current data, based on Gallup Daily tracking conducted April 1-25, confirm that so far, 2010 provides no exception to this traditional pattern....
Gallup Daily tracking data reinforce the value of younger voters for the Democrats, showing that 18- to 29-year-olds favor the Democratic candidate over the Republican candidate in their local districts by a 12-point margin. In contrast, the Republican candidate is on top among all groups of voters aged 30 and older.
This is several days old by now, but Gallup finds the narrowest partisan gap since 2005 -- just one point of difference, obliterating the Democrats' 10-12 point advantage between 2006 and 2008.

The six-point rise in Republican support since the first quarter of 2009 is due entirely to a growing proportion of independents who lean to the Republican Party, rather than an increase in the percentage of Americans who identify as Republicans outright. (Gallup measures party identification by first asking Americans whether they identify as Republicans, Democrats, or independents. Those who are independent or express no party preference are then asked whether they lean more toward the Democratic or the Republican Party.)In fact, the 28% of Americans who initially identify as Republicans today is identical to the figure Gallup measured in early 2009, when the Democrats still had a double-digit advantage in support. Since then, there has been a three-point reduction in the proportion of Democratic identifiers, and a three-point decline in the percentage of Democratic-leaning independents.
To some extent, then, this represents simply conservative-tilting voters coming home after going crazy on acid for the 2006 and 2008 elections. Still, you need to get back what you had before you can think about getting more.

Conservatives are enthused about voting because they see the possibility of turning the scoundrels out.
Liberals are dejected about voting because the best they could possibly hope for is getting the same scumbags back in.

If you go to Cook Political, they list 66 House districts as either "lean R", "tossup", or "lean D". Meaning that they are all competitive. The districts that are "solid R" or "likely R" total to 175. So, to get to 218, the R's would need to take 43/66 competitive districts, assuming no surprises in the "likely R" or "solid R" districts. It's doable but not a slam-dunk.
So I'm wondering, what can we in the AoSHQ horde do to affect the outcome? I'm not suggesting we go all Redstate and start playing footsie with the RNC. But I also don't want to sit on the sidelines and just watch the R's let this opportunity slip from their grasp.
Thoughts?

Ok not pure hatred, but the hatred of a billion burning suns.
Why the hate? I hate this socialistic, statist shit that's being forced on my country by this marxist piece of garbage in the white house, and the filthy thieving criminals in congress, and by the enablers that continue to vote them in.
If you want to ascribe my motivation to continue to oppose this slide towards hell in this country to hatred, you go right ahead. Just be damned sure you know why I hate it.

Unfortunately, the very young who voted for Barry get student loans that will only cost them 5% of their McWages, no matter how much they borrowed for spring break or how pathetic their barista tips are. So maybe they'll vote again...in 2012.

You have access to young skulls (and trunks) full of mush. I'll bet a higher percentage of collidge students than the population at large would be open to the Moron Philosophy.

That's not the problem. The problem is that the growers up in the national forests in Humboldt and Mendocino Counties won't have enough illegals to camp out in the marijuana fields to cultivate and defend them. On the other hand, state "legalization" might keep the supply abundant and the prices low... but for the new taxes... which will encourage continued illegal cultivation and distribution... which means continued enforcement costs and continued criminal violence.

It's not the Minutemen chopping off Mexicans' heads or committing mass serial rape and murder of girls in Ciudad Juarez.
I happened on a PBS documentary about the missing women of Juarez. A young woman described how she was coerced into some illegal activity by a policeman. He showed her an album of photographs depicting the gang rape and deaths of the disappeared young girls. Her description of the photographs was horrifying - they went to their death after being raped and sodomized by sadistic beasts who threw their heads back in laugter at their victims' screams.
Some of the women's bodies have been recovered, but most have not, and their families still grieve their lost daughters after many years.
What is especially heinous about these crimes is that law enforcement and some in the business community are complicit- the ones who lure the women with the promise of maquiladora jobs.

Like I said: this summer and fall are going to be pretty fraught, in California and elsewhere. The usual Democrat/GOP political battles are going to turn into real battles in the streets this summer: hispanics and blacks whipped up against purported "racism" in the Tea Party activists; public-sector employees and their unions against Joe Taxpayer; and the "greenies" against everyone else who understands that America must develop energy stocks. Continuing violence in Mexico will drive more desperate people into illegal entry into America, and ratchet up the war of words between the Mexican and American governments as to who is to blame for the mess.
California is shaping up to be the primary battleground over the summer. Let's say this is a hot summer, and that the California energy grid has the same problems its had before with brownouts and even blackouts. Let's say energy rates go up. Let's further say that gas prices creep up another 20-25% or so. Let us further state that the Eurozone problems retard or even reverse the nascent economic recovery. (Greece is about an inch from actually defaulting on their debt; Moody's just downgraded their bonds to junk.) This means that the national unemployment rate isn't going to budge much, and in California may actually get worse as the public-sector budget crunch gets worse.
You've got a whole state full of unemployed, hot, broke, and overtaxed people just spoiling for some kind of fight. Racial violence is a given, especially give the politics of immigration and the demographics of Democrat/GOP voters.
I keep hoping that I'm full of shit, and that I'm just being overly gloomy. I would love to be wrong.

Which is why making illegal entry impossible (or exceedingly difficult, at the very least) is a necessary but insufficient condition. So long as life south of the border resembles Kurtz's domain in Heart of Darkness, people will have a nearly irresistible motivation to escape it. So we have to insist that the Mexican government actually start governing.

People like ergmcmuffin are more akin to tapeworms, than citizens of this country.
They don't produce anything of value themselves, instead, they live off of the hard work of the rest of us. Never acknowledging that their existence is made possible by the hard work of the rest of us, without so much as a thank you.
They demand repeatedly that they're entitled to the fruits of our labors. And if we decide that we're being treated unfairly by the parasites, why we're told we're racists, haters, and anything else the tapeworms think they can get to stick.
Got news for people like erg the tapeworm. We've had enough. It's time for the parasites to be expunged from the system. I do not work for you. What I earn is mine. It isn't yours. It doesn't belong to the government. It is mine. I really don't fucking care anymore whether you agree or not. Your side's behavior has shown me time and again that you don't respect me, or my hard work that allows parasites like you to exist. So let me be as clear as possible, fuck off. I'm done dragging your worthless ass, and some millions like you through life so you can live in your parents dank basement, smoking dope and playing warcraft.

How about something simple like a thread every week or two on, say four or five candidates we like, and we debate their relative strengths to vote on which one we should all (voluntarily, if able) donate to? And then keep a tally of the funds raised for that week's preferred candidate, to see how effective the effort is?
That, and possibly an organized e-mail tree to send out our group recommendations to our non-Moron networks (NMNs, for short).

nah, just pack it into a glass bowl, bubbler or bong (GLASS ALL THE WAY). Of course, you can also break it up and sprinkle it in some smoke and roll it but I think it's a pussy way (most of it goes up in the air than in your lungs). Just make sure the ratio is good and put the hash on top of the bud or opium so it doesn't liquidize into the stem

At one point the hero, Ransom, is having a physical battle with a demon possessing Ransom's old enemy, the physicist Dr. Weston. (Ransom's trying to prevent a repeat of the Biblical Fall of Man on the planet Venus.) It's been going on a while, and both men are in pretty bad shape, as you'd expect from a pair of Oxford dons who've been beating the crap out of each other all morning.
Then Ransom starts to feel true hate for his enemy, and suddenly realizes that this is the proper situation for that emotion. Fighting evil is what hate is for. His hatred of his literally demonic foe gives him new strength to resume the fight, and his enemy sees it and runs off howling.
The libs are filled with all sorts of hate -- hate of themselves, hate of us, hate of abstract concepts like market economics -- but they can't make themselves hate genuine evil, because they refuse to believe it exists. So their hate destroys themselves and, if we allow it, everything around them.
The Obama administration and its lickspittles in the media are genuinely evil. They are consciously doing things which they know to be wrong, but their pride and arrogance and hatred of all things decent have destroyed any remaining shreds of conscience they may have had.
It is proper to hate them. USE that hatred, and fight!

How he didn't find the quarter, I have no fucking clue. Scared shitless. Put them back on and traded it for some Reagan blotters and rocked out to the Jungle Brother (fucking AMAZING set)

David Crane, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's adviser notes, this year's unfunded pension liability is next year's budget cut—or tax hike. This year $5.5 billion was diverted from other programs such as higher education and parks to cover the shortfall in California's retiree pension and health-care benefits. The Governor's office projects that, absent reform, this figure will balloon to over $15 billion in the next 10 years.

Ice always made me cough. I hazily
theorized that it was the expansion of the smoke, or the dryness, or
the (duh) coldness. But cold water seemed to be just as good.

Filly, thatÂ’s a good point. Part of what has led to the Democrats being able to win so many positions, from dog catcher to President, is that there have not been a lot of Republican challengers at the bottom of the political ladder. And, by Democrats taking over so many Secretary of State and Director of Elections positions, it has become way easier for them to cheat at elections. The Republicans should be helping and pushing candidates for everything.

What is ironic since it has been a while on that score is that increasing taxes has NEVER resulted in decreasing the deficit.
I saw a study that was done a few years ago that said for every tax increase in history the average was an increase in spending of 1.25 for every 1 of tax increase.
The only time we have actually decreased the deficit was the big rebound after the Reagan tax cuts with a fiscally conservative Republican congress.
All ya'll know the one. The years Clinton got all the credit for when he really had nothing to do with it.

I'd say "feminists, please pick up the white courtesy phone" but as we learned from Palin-hung-in-effigy vs. Obama-hung-in-effigy, race trumps gender for people who call themselves "woman-positive."

Speaking of Charles the Goat fucker Johnson.
Have any of you been to his pathetic site recently. He's using Rachel Maddow as a source. I peeked and could not believe my eyes. He's asserting that the Arizona's immigration law has it's roots in white supremacy.
Charlie the Goat fucker is insane.70% of Arizona's citizens support the law.
wow.

Is that true?
No. I think the core Eurozone will survive (if not thrive).
It's the smaller nations that are causing the problem -- Greece should never have been in the Eurozone to begin with, nor Portugal (nor, probably, lots of the eastern nations). Germany opposed Greece's entry to begin with, which is why they're getting all soggy-and-hard-to-light right now. In fact, Germany's feeling about Greece is pretty analogous to that of other states to California: why should we pay for their fiscal failings? (In fact Greece is worse in that it basically lied about its finances to get in to begin with.)
Greece needs to get out of the Eurozone and get back to the drachma. Only then can they devalue the currency and resolve their financial situation. The only possible way that they can stay in the Eurozone is with an EU/IMF bailout every year or two for...well, forever. And that ain't gonna happen. The kind of austerity the Greek government would have to undergo is completely impossible, given the socialist/union-controlled economy in that country. There'd be a civil war.
The grand designs of the Eurozone have been shown to be a complete sham, but the EU bureaucrats are still in denial about it. They'd rather see Greece blown to flinders than admit that the whole idea of a unified European currency was flawed.

Sweet, sweet warming hate.
Like a shot of good whiskey, or the joyful frisson one feels

Honest to God, My black and bitter iced coffee shot out of every facial orifice I have, including my tear ducts... Yes, It's surprisingly painful and yes I just toasted another keyboard but the mental image of the satisfied grin creeping across some rednecks face illuminated by the flickering reflections of the Happy Good Luck Time Mart as it becomes fully involved is just so horrible I had to laugh.
