Why can't we find middle ground

[degsme]

Really? Seems to me the left has it's divisiveness just as bad as the right.

Fox news as a source of divisiveness WITHIN the Centrists??? PLease

Um I think also you misunderstood. The CENTER and Liberals have differences, but they are not deep.

The RIGHT - which is a SHRINKING MINORITY - has deep divisions from the rest of the country.

 

[degsme]

You know, you're absolutely correct...after all when I look at an electoral map, it see all kinds of shades of purple in it...very little red or blue.

REally?

[degsme]

way too many question and few platforms........

it's apparent those demanding GOV freebies voting for the politician that offers the most freebies,

Except for the factual demographics that show wealthy people voting more liberal...

 

[Alinvegas]

Yep. Let's include the sheep f***ers as well. Bigamists want in as well. Yep!

Isn't that what I just said?

 

[degsme]

Isn't that what I just said?

No - there are solid blue and solid red regions... and Blues are bigger

 

[Number_58]

Hmmm...I see it differently. I see more purple and red.

Demographic data don't lie... More people vote blue than red....by a fairly significant margin. Particularly among the youth. Which is serious bad news for the GOP.

Of course you'll find a way to disregard this...you do with every source that tells you something you don't want to hear...but it doesn't seem to be tracking that way so far this year...they are actually leaving in fairly significant numbers...

Yeah a polling group with no track record and no published data... reported by.... a conservative right wing paper...

And you have the guts to say that's meaningful? MEanwhile Gallup has a demographic breakdown http://www.gallup.com/poll/121199/Obama-Weekly-Job-Approval-Demographic-Groups.aspx

60% support in the 18-29 yo group... in fact the only "disapprove" is 65+...

 

[Number_58]

Yeah...I didn't figure any less from you...it didn't fit into your little box of acceptable sources. It's no wonder you never answered A of D on what you would consider legitimate sources...none are unless they tell you what you want to hear. No sense of taking this any further...

 

[degsme]

Well there are acceptable sources (ones with verifiable data and Q's like Gallup) and then there is "echo chamber" crap (there is an echo chamber on the left, but it is much smaller- and notice that I do NOT cite it as a source).

Legitimate sources are ones with verifiable data. There are lots of them so I cannot enumerate them. You just rarely seem to cite them. Same with AoD.

FACTS MATTER
real ones - not echo chamber crap.

But keep believing the echo chamber.... it makes you more vulnerable.

I have show on here that you can ask questions that the answer you get both ways could be right, but a person or a site can make it say something it isn't.

Like Heath care vote. People who are on both sides can answer the question of are you happy with it the same way.
Republicans because it isn't what they want, and democrats because it doesn't go far enough.

It's in how you ask questions, so many polls are of really no value, they just tell you what you want to hear, and most likely if your trying to get a certain result and you don't, it just goes away.

Sorry...busy elsewhere.

Okay, so you don't like the national debt, but see it as an inevitability. Something that has to be dealt with when we're 'running on all cylinders'? the question is, how do we get to that level of performance? Say a 3+% GDP growth?

About $1.5 Trillion in stimulus spending. That gets us to roughly 6.8% unemployment

And then raise the top marginal rates back to 50% so that the money gets spent more efficiently
