TEA, the drink of the founding fathers.

I love it. Well Endowed is upset about someone quoting a politician out of context and then he does it too. Romney said to Soledad O'Brian "I'm not concerned about the poor, they have that safety net there. I'm not concerned about the rich (funny, you didn't mention this), they'll do okay. I worried about the middle class..."

Big difference but then again you knew that.

Israeli rebuke of Obama exposes divide on Mideast

(Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu bluntly told President Barack Obama on Friday his vision of how to achieve Middle East peace was unrealistic . . .

Like I said earlier, it is a state by state election. Here is what Gallup says about it

Not surprisingly, it doesn't say what JD indicates....as usual. Nice try.

Hey Timmy. You linked to what appears to be a different article. That's probably why it says something different. Don't worry, you'll get the hang of this soon.
Naw, COG it's the data from Gallup that the map is based on. I know there was no pretty map picture for you to look at, so that probably made it hard for you to understand.

I'll explain it to you so you don't have to try to read anything....the map is based on approval/disapproval ratings of Obama. While that information might allow you to extrapolate which way the states at each end will go in the election (something we know already), it's little or no evidence of which way the states in the "middle", that are going to decide the election, will go.

I posted it up because the map was offered as "evidence" of an impending landslide defeat for Obama and, while that could certainly happen, the data upon which the map is based doesn't support that assertion.

Let me know if you need anymore help. I'll try to include drawings and pictures in my next post so you won't have so much trouble.

Face it, Timmy. You were caught in a lie, again. That was a completely different story. Man up, dude.

Now, read (slowly) the editorial story that is under the pretty picture. See if you can connect the dots regarding where the information came from that the editors at the Moonie newspaper used to create the pretty, red, misleading map.

No one is buying his middle class rhetoric. Oh the last thing I am is upset- it's your GOP that is in shambles- also goo endorsement by Romney from Trump that will get independents signing- I guess the wealthy have to support the wealthy. Funny thing is Trump is so full of shit he stated the contenders were not conservative enough and Trump appeals to the TEA party- Romney is the least conservative of the 4 remaining and least conservative by far.

Nice try, TImmy. The Moonie newspaper is the Washington Times, not the Examiner. And the story just details the map. Now you've been caught lying, and being ignorant.

Well, you got one part right.
  • A is a belief in the mormom religion. Masterbation is ok according to presbetarians. Does that mean presbies are not christian as the basis for their religion?
  • B is amazingly funny on your part. How about you cite your source on that one. It isn't in the Book Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants or any other Mormon literature. It almost looks like you squished together multiple topics, scrambled them and then wrote your paragraph.
  • Is C any different than most any other religion?
  • D is somewhat interesting though still incorrect. Satanic? Mormons do believe they are the one true religion. Again, how is that different than Jews and Catholics? Jews think they are correct, Catholics think they are correct. The do not "forbid" education of other points of view. I would also be curious as to your source on this point.
  • E Multiple religions consider humans to be sons and daughter of god. So how is Adam and Jesus being considered distant brothers any more cultish than beliefs of other religions. Oh and I am sure somewhere, some distant relative of mine owned slaves. I guess that makes me a racist too.
Really??? You better do some research on the Mormon faith and find out why people call it a cult- it's far different from Catholicisim- here are some basic core Mormon beliefs:
A. God was once a man who lived on another planet
B.Jesus was begotten by physical union of God and Mary. Since God has a body of flesh and bones, he really had literal sex with Mary. The product of this union was Jesus, part man and part God. We believe Jesus was the first born in heaven by heavenly father and mother who created his spirit and our spirits using our "intelligences" as a foundation for our spirits. Our "intelligences" were floating around in the universe and needed to be organized into spirits. Since he was the first born spirit, and according to the Book of Abraham, his "intelligence" was better than the other "intelligences" out there, he is the most important spirit creation. When Jesus received his physical body by the union of God and Mary, his spirit was put into his body like our spirits were put into our bodies. His body was special though because his father was a god. The rest of us have only regular dads.
C. We need to convert the whole world to Mormonism
D.We will only read church approved materials Any literature which is critical of the church is Satanic and/or written by disgruntled apostates or others who do not know the truth. They can be ignored and any reasonable arguments they have are unimportant since they oppose the gospel of Mormonism.


Adam and Jesus are brothers. Also polygamy and don't forget one of their prominent leaders: Brigham Young was a racist towards blacks- so to say that a Mormon like Romney has more in common with Catholics than Barack Obama's Christian beliefs is laughable- wait a minute which one isn't one day you Republicans says that Obama belonged to a radical Christian church next you say he is a muslim which one is it?????

Oh and on Israel Netanyahu has been one of the most radical leaders of Israel in decades even France and England's leader have said on record that Netanyahu(sp) is difficult to work with so no surprise there. Originally Posted by wellendowed1911

So what is your point about Mormonism, WE? Are we now to establish a religious test as a prerequisite for being elected office? The Catholics think they are eating the body and blood of Jesus when they serve Mass. Wouldn't that be cannabalism if true? They also believe that whether you go to hell or not depends on whether you had water sprinkled on you as a child. Really?

You can make most any religion sound ridiculous if you try. If you lived in India, they would think the Christian religion is ridiculous. Europe thinks any religion is ridiculous. So what is your point, exactly?

So I see Timpage has been lying about what I said. That is the map but not the source. Close but no cigar. However it is strange that you knew where to find the map but you still think what? Gallup is lying, Gallup is wrong, that maybe Gallup is right, or that you didn't understand the question in the first place.

Well endowed, nothing you say changes the fact that you were hypocritcal. You were mad because someone took someone out of context and then you did the very thing that angered you. Fair people (and I don't think you're one) are repeating the fulll statement by Romney and saying it was unfortunate that he phrased it that way, not that he believes what you lied about him saying. Only the most ignorant, partisan, wing nuts are still saying that Romney said what he said out of context.

That's the game, JD. In 04 John Kerry said several things that sounded stupid when taken out of context and the GOP hammered him. It's sad the way both sides do it.
