I could've voted, but I've left it too late. Oh well, I can't find any enthusiasm for any of the presidential candidates nor any of the down-ballot troughers either. Next year's NZ elections may also prove a challenge to participate in if my last efforts ...
Holy cow! How did they come up with that? Was NZ First rolled into the National total?
Ha! Yup.
The PM wants the Crosby Textor line before he makes any further statements.
Suck it up. This is an apt distillation.
I read this op-ed by Thomas Friedman this morning (02/06/2016) in the Tampa Bay Times (I'm stuck in Florida for the next several months, ugh) All lying in politics is not created equal. I think the ideology Sanders is selling is fanciful, but underlying it...
You really think Trump can flip the Obama states in November? Trump has become so toxic to the AA community, Latinos, and women, that I can't see Trump coming anywhere near to flipping enough blue states to make it to 270. Even Arizona and Georgia may go ...
Good grief...this burn it to the ground sentiment again.
I suppose it needs to be repeated. It's all about collecting 270 electoral votes. In the upcoming GE in November which "Obama" states can Trump flip? He is toxic to the AA community. He'd be lucky to get over 10% with Latinos. His talk of banning entry to ...
The House of Ras is a Republican leaning polling outfit in case anyone is interested.
The rents in Singapore could certainly make one feel impoverished.
Very very good.
There was this exchange on 60 Minutes back in 2008. Kroft: You said you'd take Obama at his word that he's not...a Muslim. You don't believe that he's... Clinton: No. No, there is nothing to base that on. As far as I know. Kroft: It's just scurrilous...? ...
Ah...the flag referendum...the dead parrot that keeps on giving.
You want someone to confirm your bias?
Trump? Really? Trump recently stated that women should receive punishment for having an abortion. You cool with that?
I really liked Kucinich. I would have preferred him as president. Bernie is likely gaining ground because many in the States have been hammered by the GFC. They don't see incrementalism and compromise as the way forward. In short, there are a lot of angry ...
Rubbish. Cruz is a Dominionist dead-ender. I don't know what you think Bernie's supporters are but fundie rapture types they are not. Bernie even said during one of the debates that at the end of the primaries whoever the Democratic Party nominates he or ...
As I've written earlier I am no fan of Hillary or Bill. Yet, if she is the Democratic Party's choice for the GE, then vote for Hillary would be for a better Supreme Court. The vote for Hillary would at least help women have control of their bodies. As for ...
Yes, they are uncommitted until the actual floor vote. Past performance shows that they will go with the candidate that has the most delegates from the state contests. However, this looks like an exceptional year, so if I were betting man I'd not put my ...
They were instituted to prevent another "McGovern". That's why there are super-delegates. I agree that it isn't particularly democratic (but very Democratic Leadership Council stylee) .
...even Trump would be better than Clinton I have no love for the Clintons, Hillary or Bill. However, if it comes down to it I'll wear a clothespin on my nose and carry a barf-bag and vote for Hillary rather than Trump. It comes down to two or three ...
Were you in the 1st congressional district in Texas? If so, I understand your negativity towards the US. Congressman Louie Gohmert is the stupidest person in congress (at least since Michelle Bachmann retired). It's a mystery to me why this certifiable ...
Good point. So much attention is placed on the presidential contest. Yet the problems have mostly been the doing of an obstructionist congress. If the Republicans carry on with their circular firing squad the down ticket races should find the Dems taking ...
10% is a landslide, no doubt. Off the top of my head I believe in the popular vote Obama bested Romney by 4% or so. Obama had 65 million votes compared to Romney's 60 million. Sure, 5 million votes difference is a lot, but out of 125 million cast maybe not...
I wasn't aware that baseball fields were a foreign policy failure. I do agree that many in the US military are in it for three hots and a cot 'cos there is nothing happening job-wise in their town. Others join up because it is the only way they can afford ...
Due to the electoral college peculiarities national polls are not good for much other than slanging matches for partisans. The majority of states are safely in either D or R columns. Then there are the leaning states, and finally the "battleground" states ...
America is fucked Well, things are not looking all that great in the United States from afar. Hey, you may find this unbelievable, but I'd venture three out of five people in the States are good folk. The idiots in the US that are portrayed for the ...
Paul -- don't be a dick. The US doesn't deserve the clowns driving the Republican bus. No country does.
52 - 48 for the current New Zealand flag with several thousand disqualified ballots with alternative suggestions (mostly representations of genitalia).
Ha ha ha. The Republicans rolling out Mittens to "take down" Trump. The party of that horrible Reagan is imploding. Damn, that's delicious.
