1 Neutrogena Tan in a Can hit hardest

2 Harry Reid hardest hit.

3 dammit, dagny 

4 Boy, did Rubio ever make Reid look like an idiot.

5 It's Rassmas this morning. Teh One is back down to -22 in the Daily Presidential. That's the lowest he's ever been.

Come ooooonnn, 23!

6 Rass, also has Obama at -22 today.

7 Early voted for Rubio yesterday!

8 This could be one of those one-in-twenty bad polls, as no one else has anything like this (and Rasmussen hasn't found Rubio ahead for a long time).

Well, you know the old saying, "Never count your chickens until you've fucked at least three of them."

9

I think the Dems Meeks and Greene are the wildcards here, if it's Rubio, Crist, Greene, then Rasmussen shows Crist with a +1 over Rubio.

Still, that's closer than it was, and encouraging.

 

 

10 Until we get a second to back it up, I hate to say it, but I'm thinking outlier.

Remember:  FARK has a 'Florida' tag for a reason.

11 Rubio has been all over the talk show circuit as of late.  Also some good write ups in the papers.  Plus, with the oil spill crisis dying down, the Orange One has gone back inside for his tanning. 

12 That's also a much higher level of support for Meeks

It was a rat. A great big one.

13 Thanks to Shooter McGavin.

Somebody's closer!

14
Vacation season is over, people are responding to surveys now.

15

But Intrade has Crist up by 20%!!!!!!!!




_{Thought I'd miss a poll thread? No way Jose. Mine is an evil laugh!}

16 Jesus Crist!  I'm gonna wipe the floor with this orange bastard!

17 Rubio just had the biggest statewide fund-raising quarter haul in Florida history ...

He is waiting until after the Aug 24 primary ...

18 Crist makes me look like Casper the Friendly Ghost!

19 The Repub primary is coming up in 2 1'2 weeks;  Republicans are coming home

( Crist is toast )

20 AOS headline: Rubio jumps ahead 5 points, squishy eeyores hardest hit.

21 So, wonder how far away from Teh Won Crist will stay this weekend, when Barky, Worf and the family are down for their post-pre-vacation?  (Damn.  I can't believe I actually typed that.)

22 The White Privilege Knapsack rears its ugly head again.  Tangerine-Americans just can't catch a break.

23 If Crist becomes the de facto Democrat candidate, shouldn't we expect his support to drop and/or move to take on Meeks's votes as people start to pay more attention to the race?

Rubio 38, Crist 33, Meeks 21

Would mean the Democrats are garnering 54% of the vote against a good Republican candidate, in a Republican state, in a Republican year. Which seems really odd to be any measure of the real world.

For example, have there been many polls as to whether people know Crist is running as an "independent" with outreach from Obama?

24 Sigh.  Just received a concession e-mail from Karen Handel. 

25 If anything, I think Crist would split the Democrat vote..

You have the party apparatchiks voting straight ticket dem anyway and republican anyway.. 

Which would only  help Rubio and hurt Crist..

26 Would mean the Democrats are garnering 54% of the vote against a good Republican candidate, in a Republican state, in a Republican year.

FL hasn't been a "Republican State" in a long long time. 

27 Once this is done, Osama Obama can go through with his dream of moving the US capitol to Mecca:

Democratic Pollster Mark Penn is holding a $4,500 a plate fundraiser for Crist in D. C.

If Rubio makes Crist own it that will be the end of Crist.

30 Remember:  FARK has a 'Florida' tag for a reason.

Voting is hard. I mean they tell you who to vote for...but then like the lines don't line up and stuff. Hey KENO!!!

31 Rubio is not dishonest enough to be in congress. Crist is my man.

32 post-pre-vacation

ZING!

33 Early voting in the primaries started Monday in FLA.  Repubs and Dems are looking at their ballots ( closed primary state -- no crossovers )  and  not seeing Crist

so whichever party they are, Crist, ain't one of them

he's burnt toats......

34 I don't understand how anyone can vote for that stinkin Cuban??

35 "he's burnt toats......" he is a toasty orange

36 I'm wondering if they are bothering with polling the pan-handle or just forgetting about them again.

37 DJIA = -222

38

O/T but in line with what I was saying about "hating the poor":  Obama has apparently cut 11.9 billion from the food stamp program...that and higher taxes on businesses is what will be paying for this teacher union bailout thingy.

Ordinarily I don't like the idea of food stamps -- but as of late I've seen people (people I know to be decent and hardworking, who've never asked for a handout in their lives) who are really in dire straights, and the local food pantry and church soup kitchens have seen an uptick in turnout...and they may have to shutter their doors because they aren't getting even half of the charitable donations they got even a year ago.   I don't like seeing my peeps in this condition.  I especially don't like seeing them suffer so the frakking Dems can stroke their damn teacher's unions to roll out the vote for them.  grrrrr

Obama hates poor people!  Let them eat cake!  Who cares if poor little urchins are reduced to eating from dumpsters!

 

39 higher taxes on businesses is what will be paying for this teacher union bailout thingy.

Those hardworking folks in dire straights wouldn't need food stamps if non-government hiring wasn't punished...so let's discourage it some more.

40 "Never count your chickens until you've fucked at least three of them."

I hate to pick nits, but if you don't count the chickens, how would you know to stop at three?

That's also a much higher level of support for Meeks

Why do I always have a vision of some guy stuck in a gorilla suit on board a slow boat to Africa with his new boyfriend gorilla whenever I see the name Meeks?

(I know, it's Beeks)  (I know also, that that is racist and I should therefore be banned)

41

39  Exactly...kick the poor bastards on food stamps thanks to their jobs going away or cutting back hours, and then do away with food stamps benefits...because the damn teachers' unions are such good henchmen.

I hate these assholes.

42 I don't really have a problem with WIC and FoodStamps - they have some abuses; but in the end are tolerable. Now SSI and AFDC cash; that needs to end.

Nancy and the Dems made a huge strategic blunder here.  They thought the word would not get out that they were cutting food stamps.  big mistake.

44 Posted by: unknown jane at August 11, 2010 12:20 PM

Osama Obama is showing fiscal responsibility, you know.

I can't help but think about how many people could be fed on the cost of his (and Ma'm Obama's) constant vacations, never mind the number who wouldn't be facing starvation if the Traitor-in-Chief wasn't allowed to pander to his pet union thugs.

Until this year, I was closer to the usual knee-jerk "conservative" line that claims everyone who wants work can find it, and those who accept help are lazy, TV-watching parasites.

Now I know better. I'm still charitable enough to hope that those who think the poor are all lazy losers don't have to correct their thoughts the way I have....

mmm mmm MMMM...Cuban sandwishes!!

One of the most influential politicians to come from Chicago and affect the nation, Daniel David Rostenkowski, at the age of 82, died Wednesday morning at his home in Wisconsin.

I'm liking the -22 on the Ras's Ogabe poll.  How low does that go before we see a serious Dem primary challenger emerge?  At which point, I'm just warning you, my erection will block out the sun.  Do not be alarmed unless it lasts more than 4 hours.

-->Ordinarily I don't like the idea of food stamps -- but as of late I've seen people (people I know to be decent and hardworking, who've never asked for a handout in their lives) who are really in dire straights, and the local food pantry and church soup kitchens have seen an uptick in turnout...and they may have to shutter their doors because they aren't getting even half of the charitable donations they got even a year ago.

The key is that food stamps (and all related social spending) are state responsibilities.  The federal government shouldn't be mucking around in such expenditures.

And charitable donations are down, in large part, because of the assault that The Precedent and his junta launched against private charitable donations.  The Indonesian Imbecile even argued the fairness of a flat tax, in order to attack private charitable donations - remember how he said that it was "unfair" that those in higher tax brackets get to benefit disproportionately from their charitable donations because they are deducted at higher rates (due to the highly progressive/offensive tax rate schedule that the dems argue is "fair"). 

There's nothing that can be done to change the junta's attitude about this, so private charities are going to be hit, no matter what.  The junta wants to starve the private charities out, so that only the feral government decides who deserves "charity".

-->Obama hates poor people!  Let them eat cake!  Who cares if poor little urchins are reduced to eating from dumpsters!

Posted by: unknown jane at August 11, 2010 12:20 PM (5/yRG)

That's exactly what the Indonesian Imbecile said when he announced to America (during one of the primary debates) that he would raise capital gains taxes, even if it was assumed to result in reduced revenues to the government, because it was more important to punish the successful (for "fairness") than to fund any programs he claimed were so essential for the poor.

As I always say, America knew exactly who this retard was.

I've always wondered why the poll numbers for Rubio were so high right up until Crist turned tail on the GOP. Ever since, even though he's wildly popular down here, he trails The Orange One in most polls.

I just don't get it. I also smell just a little BS.

Crist is a prime example of the type of people we Do. Not. Want. In. Washington. Shirley you don't think he actually gives a shit about the people and what we want, do you? If he did, would have quit the GOP when he was so far behind Rubio? Methinks not.

Self-serving? Check.

Responsive to the wishes of the people? Uhh, umm, prolly not.

Integrity? Bwahaahaaaaa!

55 I'm liking the -22 on the Ras's Ogabe poll.  How low does that go before we see a serious Dem primary challenger emerge?

I'm guessing if it gets into the thirties, the various Dems start doing som internal polling to see where the numbers would be.

I'm asking another question.  How low does it go before he starts floating the War Crimes Trials Against Bush Et. Al. balloon go revive his base?

56

Early voted for Rubio yesterday!

But, how many more times are you going to vote?

57 Main story on Drudge--Housing Aid Riot

58 O/T:  Rush is playing a clip of some chic saying he said things he didn't say.  Funny I recall reading everything this chic said on here and it was chalked up as one of the trolls and don't feed them.  But yet she's out there saying he said this stuff that he didn't say.  I guess maybe we should set the trolls straight so when they go on the cable outlets they don't straight up lie.

59

44 Yeah, things have changed...there are working people (or formerly working people) who are on food stamps now. 

Still, even if it wasn't the case -- the Dems howled "heartless" way back when the Repubs tried to make cuts in the school lunch program.  Turnabout is fair play, isn't it?

The Sun(ni) King hates the poor and wants their children to starve!  The teachers don't like poor children!!

(no offense to those former education peers of mine out there who are still in the trenches trying to hold the line, but we of all people know who I'm talking about, and they have to go)

60 But he wears white pants so well!

61 #39 Those hardworking folks in dire straights wouldn't need food stamps if non-government hiring wasn't punished...so let's discourage it some more.

Food stamps are one of the most effective forms of economic stimulus.  As more and more people get food stamps, the better our economy gets!

62 57 Is that Atlanta? whoa.

63 I'm asking another question.  How low does it go before he starts floating the War Crimes Trials Against Bush Et. Al. balloon go revive his base?

There was a time when I would say, "that would be political suicide." But those days are over. I was convinced in Fall 2008 with the amount spent on tarp that national health-care was dead at least until the economy had fully recovered. Well obviously I was very wrong. So yeah that will be next.

64 61  Then why are you anti-economic recovery then Nancy, and for $1 million dollars (since you don't know any lower denomination), "when will you stop hating poor people?"

65 Early voted for Rubio yesterday!

Well, that's a start.

66 The fights in Atlanta are only the tip of the iceberg.

What's worse, perhaps, is that applications for non-existent housing were being handed out.

It seems incomprehensible that the rage being felt by the poor is not directed at the Osma Obama regime. The MSM's campaign to canonize the Traitor-in-Chief has been far more effective than they could ever have imagined.

67 53 Preaching to the choir brother...preaching to the choir.  It didn't take much to see where this was going -- but a lot of people needed their eyes checked.

68 66 Give it time and get out the message -- things can turn quite quickly (although I'm afraid they may turn for the worse in spite of anyone's best efforts).

69 All of ya'll who keep talking about this "cut in food stamps" are missing a big part of the picture.

There is no cut in food stamps; there is a promise to cut food stamps down the road when the Republicans are in office.

So the Republicans will be faced with the choice of cutting food stamps, increasing the deficit, or raising taxes; all of which the Dems will scream and blame them for.

70 As Rubio said this morning on Fox, the afterglow from Crist's "take charge" photo ops during the oil spill is beginning to wear off.  Also, Crist is now moving so far to the left he's beginning to sound like Ayers II, all in the hope of snagging some contribution and votes from left wing independents and Dems.

71 Megyn Kelly is interviewing a Florida Rep about their new anti-illegal alien law.  It requires police to check legal status when suspicious.  I liked that the interviewee (one of the GOP sponsors, I think, in the Florida House) stressed taht a overeign state has the responsibility to police its "own citizens" - which is the way to say it, following the Constitution, Art IV, Sec 2: "Citizens of each State" which clearly acknowledges the States' power over policing its own citizenry, including identifying those illegally in the state. 

72 It requires police to check legal status when suspicious.

Oops.  "during a lawful stop" should have been in there.

Sorry.

73 70  Oh, I realize that -- it's a bit of "creative" book cooking.  But the headlines Vic...what do they LOOK like?  I see opportunity here...

74 But the headlines Vic...what do they LOOK like?  I see opportunity here...

Yeah it's easy to see how they are creating the stink. Here is the headline at Fox which is really AP.

Democrats, Advocacy Groups Blast Cuts to Food Stamps to Fund $26B Aid Bill

It isn't until the 8th paragraph that you find out that the "cuts" are not until 2014 and they only take it to "pre-stimulus" levels which were advertised as "temporary" for the economy but the Dems are now admitting were really permanent.

Nope, the whole thing is another double whammy strategy by the commies. First lie about the 26B budget buster and also set up the Republicans for a fall in 2014.

75 76 If the GOP was smart they'd get out in front of this, avoid the freaking trap and bludgeon the Dems with it -- or just expose the freaking trap, no?

76 If the GOP was smart.....

LOL, if the leadership was "smart" they would never have lost control of congress, McCain would have been run out of the Party, and we would have a conservative Republican President.

77 78 no, we wouldn't have gotten the prez (law of averages in betting), but they should have picked up at least one house.
