AZDuffman Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 135 Posts: 18136 | 99% Trump 95% Carson 93% Ron Paul and Carly Fiorina 21% Hillary and Bernie (who basically have the same positions on everything) Ironically, I read Sander's plan for a USPS bank and am not totally against it. I would want some tweaks to what I read but a lot of the idea makes some sense. The President is a fink. |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25010 | I get dozens of Google poll updates daily. It's amazing how the Lib press is trying to sway the process by lying about poll results. Trump Cratering, Carson Surging. Trump Has To Quit Can Trump Ever Catch Carson Yet the latest RCP average of all the polls still has Trump ahead of Carson by 5 points. If you take out that bogus NYT poll where Carson beat Trump by 8 points, it would be even higher. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

FrGamble Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 67 Posts: 7596 | That survey was very interesting. I found out that I agree about 70-80% with every candidate except Christie and Webb who are 60% and 55% respectively. I imagine that is the problem with being a good Catholic. We are political mutts and don't fall in line with any political party. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

Most Catholics I've known were pretty liberal. Then again, most people I know in general are too. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

And most people I know are not. It's because you live in the Lib mecca of the US, near the Left coast states. It's why dealers have from AC often have a hard time dealing in Vegas. It's too laid back for them, they can't handle it. It's why I came to hate Santa Barbara, every type of goofball lifestyle was tolerated. Homeless guys in their 20's everywhere, breaking into cars and houses, begging for money in the streets. I got sick of it and moved to where that crap isn't tolerated. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I don't think that is it. Nevada is a battleground state so evenly divided politically. No, I think everybody tends to run with their own kind. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

We tend to gravitate towards those who we agree with. Not always of course, but the weird thing is I have found conservative/libertarians just end up having conversations about non-political interests that i share more than liberal folks do. I mean even stuff like hobbies and the kind of house you prefer. The President is a fink. |

As I said, I left Santa Barbara because it was so Lib there. It's the opposite here. A palpable difference. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

TheCesspit Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 23 Posts: 1929 | 84% Bernie, 66% Rubio or Clinton Not that I can vote there. Rubio's practically Canadian though, right? I wouldn't vote Clinton if I was in a primary. Her attitude to emails and records keeping is lousy and dangerous for a world leader. One of the questions had no satisfactory answer: the Obamacare one didn't allow me to say 'No, and either go single payer, or allow insurance markets to work properly, not this bastardization that now exists'.
