Open Thread SundayThe final election from 2012 is in the books as Charles Boustany defeated Jeff Landry in a battle of two Republicans in Louisiana. According to his website, Jeff Landry was endorsed by the recently retired Jim DeMint. This happened yesterday, but honestly, I thought Charlie Crist switched to being a Democrat years ago. So I am a little surprised this was such big news yesterday. Football picks one post down…enjoy the rest of your weekend….

First
I am glad Landry lost, Boustney would have been a big blow if the GOP lost him, look at Ll the years of experience that the GOP would have lost
Just saw Bubu on the other thread.

Add This Group To Obama’s Winning Coalition: ‘Religiously Unaffiliated’
by LIZ HALLORAN
The big demographic story out of the 2012 presidential election may have been President Obama’s domination of the Hispanic vote, and rightfully so.
But as we close the book on the election, it bears noting that another less obvious bloc of key swing state voters helped the president win a second term.
They’re the “nones” — that’s the Pew Research Center’s shorthand for the growing number of American voters who don’t have a specific religious affiliation. Some are agnostic, some atheist, but more than half define themselves as either “religious” or “spiritual but not religious,” Pew found in arecent survey.

5- Been true for a long time – I think the “spiritual but not religious” demographic has always been liberal, they just formally identified as liberal members of their background back when there was more of as stigma for being “unchurched”.
God is a Democrat. Deal with it, SusyQue. You told us God would not let Obama win. God had the last laugh.
We are over a month since the election and today there are three articles posted at Real Clear Politics bashing Romney. I am getting thoroughly tired of this. The man lost. Move on.
It is not enough to shrug and move on. For the future, it is very important to understand why you could not beat a failed incumbent in an environment of rampant unemployment and economic angst.
You may be smitten with Mitten, but those of us who are not have no desire to excuse incompetence and sloth.
Mitt was our best candidate.
Deal with it.
Mitt was a MA liberal with government-run healthcare as his crowning achievement.
What, Lincoln Chafer was not available?

I wonder if Jack has Akin, Santorum and Draft Palin bumper stickers on his car.

Lt. Gov. Bolling: Ron Paulians took over Virigina
Paulbots are not the Tea Party. They are not the GOP base. They arefringe lunatics.
If Ron Paul endorsed God, I would become an atheist.
Ron Paul endorsed Ken Cuccinelli when he ran for Attorney General, and Cuccinelli spoke at LPAC.
IDK if he’s perfect, but Virginia is a crucial state, and we want the right people running it.
Did Romney put his jinx on Pacquiao in the locker room last night?
we want the right people running it = anti-voter, anti-democracy goons.
Cucinelli is not a Paulbot.
Deluded Senator Bob Corker thinks he will get entitlement reform for higher taxes
Wow, bad decision by Flacco.
Better than Rand Paul who is willing to accept higher taxes for NOTHING in return.
jason – I go by the rule rhat if Bunu likes somebody they are unaceptable. If Bunu endorses you, you’re gone.

Corrected version
Bears about to lose again?
Bears worst 8-5 team in league.
Discuss.
I am sure a whiner will appear in 3, 2, 1….
The Vikings were almost a winning team when the game started, so its understandable.
Sorry, this whiner is a little late.
STFU Michael.
Nice run. Ravens giving away the game.
Its a bonus Michael when the whiner is a Marxist.
I hope Dave isn’t on suicide watch. That’s a tough loss.
Where’s the Bitterlaw-Author Sports update, El Patron?
Bitter I think we will win on Tuesday even if Yolanda(o) endorses us.
Our ticket has shown it can take tough hits and overcome adversity.
When Author gets back from doing his girlfriend’s chores, he can post the Bitterlaw-Author Sports Update.
jason – Tim just picked up the endorsement of Occupy Atlanta.
I bet Author just volunteered to do more errands rather than show up here. I have taken crap for the last 8 weeks after Eagles games. Man up.
On another note, Add and Corey won’t be here any earleir than Wednesday.
Bears may not even make the playoffs at this rate… funny.
Looking at the NFC East the best team is 7-5… the Eagles passed up an opportunity, they didn’t have to be stellar to compete here.
I do believe I’m already on record as endorsing the pro gun, steak barbequing, gentleman from Georgia.
Michael stopped posting after the Marxist told him to STFU.
I would call him a wimp but since he is stealing liberal votes from Tim…..
Jason sorry I had to eat dinner, I will start posting again though
Jul is endorsing Tim?
Tim is a big government proponent and big labor lover who never saw an entitlement he didn’t like.
Politics makes strange bedfellows.
” Jason sorry I had to eat dinner,”
Don’t tell me Author’s GF made you do it.
Bitter and I will not run negative ads against Tim’s gun and steak (unless he overcooks them) positions.

Bitter both the Eagles and the Panthers won today! It is a good day! Especially since both teams won over “better” opponents.
Jul get the heck out of here you wimp! Can’t actually agree on anything and instead you hide in the shadows
Bitter don’t tell Michael the Eagles and Panthers are playing in garbage time.
Jason,
Your runningmate is on the record as being anti rare filet mignon.
Jason, look the Panthers and the Eagles might be able to salvage both of their seasons.
Panthers schedule:
@ San Diego (5-8)
Oakland (3-10)
@New Orleans (5-7)
Eagles schedule:
Bengals (7-6)
Washington (7-6)
@ Giants (7-5)
Both teams have one tough game in the end, but the first two games for both the Panthers and Eagles are winnable. Besides, the eagles and panthers are not the trash of the NFL.
Oakland, Jacksonville, and Kansas City are at the bottom of the pit this year
62. I know. And wine. Thankfully I balance out the ticket on both respects.
jason – I enjoyed the Eagles winning because I don’t see it very often anymore. Unlike Michael, I know it means nothing this year – well, nothing except blowing up Tampa Bay’s season. Bwahahahahahahaha
As for Jul’s endorsement of Tim, it was obviously motived by his Core Principles of Conservatism.
Hey Jason, it looks like its me against you and Bitter, we can count Rim out because Jul just endorsed him
” Besides, the eagles and panthers are not the trash of the NFL.”
No comment.
But boy did I want to.
Hey Jason, it looks like its me against you and Bitter, we can count Tim out because Jul just endorsed him
Jason, look the Panthers and the Eagles might be able to salvage both of their seasons
Define “salvage?”
The only thing the Eagles did today was cost themselves a top 5 pick.
Yeah, I can’t believe how Jul kicked Tim when he was already down. Cruel.
@69 being 7-9, beating out a few other teams. Both the Panthers and the Eagles could move ahead of Arizona, Cleveland, and Detroit next week. Maybe salvage is not the best word, perhaps turn around?
Bitter,
You would violate (specifically) my 2nd amendment rights.
Tim gives me advice.
You’re a (proud) a-hole.
Tim is a southern gentleman who always maintains decorum here at HHR…well, except for when LisaB is involved.
@71 I know! Just after the Panthers (go Panthers) beat the Falcons. Oh well
Salvage?
Well let’s say you are down in basketball by 40 points with 3 minutes to go and your opponent puts in the subs and you only lose by 25.
Did you “salvage” the game?
Jul, I hardly recall you remaining in decorum so I call that a lousy excuse
Jul – You can have as many guns as you want. Some people collect stray animals to fill the gaping hole in their lives. You collect weapons. Zzzzzzzzzz
Sea turtles, mate.
@75 no, the Bobcats did that two nights ago at Milwaukee though. They were down 40 in the fourth quarter and then marched back to within 9 within 4 minutes. Pretty funny how volatile the game was
Tim is a Democrat who supports people who would trash the 2nd amendment in a nanosecond.
What has Bitter said against the 2nd amendment?
@77 good one Bitter, I have a quick question. Perhaps if I could have your email, this is a campaign question
Unlike Michael, I just accept the pain as something I deserve. When the Eagles lose, I know the universe is sticking it to me like it is supposed to.
4 cats.
4.
Oh, I collect stray animals.
@81 that’s what I wonder.
If anything it is Jul who tramples on the second amendment by rooting for Kane for Attorney General
Jason,
Bitter opposes MY 2nd Amendment rights. Not anyone else, best I can tell.
I think Bitter’s email is ambchr@phillyaholes.com
Yes, Kane, with her massive and sweeping legislative powers to violate gun rights.
Oh, what? She doesn’t have legislative powers?
Nevermind.
To be fair to Jul, I did say at one point that the fact that he can get a concealed carry permit made me realize that there are obviously no standards and they might as well hand firearms to prisoners when they get out on parole.
@83 I except the pain if it is a big loss, but 6 of the Panthers losses this year have be 1-6 points and in all 6 they lead late in the 4th quarter. That is unacceptable after watching it all season long.
Well I guess in a selfish way if Bitter restricts Jul’s guns, there will be more guns for me.
Back in the state capitol to do the people’s business until Wed.
What happened on the close games won at the lst minute?
What happened to RG3?
Jason that is not Bitters email. Jul, she would disrupt them through the judicial wing. Not everything is done on a legislative scale, courts are now making a concerted effort to press legislation, hiding under the allusion that gun/defense amendments/legislation are unconstitutional when they are not
@93 the way courts can do this is when left leaning groups file cases at left leaning judges, and Kane will help to press those cases as well

I don’t think Jul actually believes Kane would not do everything possible to restrict gun rights.
” Jason that is not Bitters email.”
Funny. It’s the one he gives out to his creditors.
Jul just wants Kane to damage Corbett with incessant attacks about Sandusky. Jul doesn’t give a damn about the rest of us as long as Corbett loses. He wants a Democrat Governor because . . . he is a true conservative?
@98. Bitter I must speak with you immediately, privately about the the campaign.
Btw, Jul is weird after all, he barley won his office last year. So I think he has strange, inter dimensional reasons for what he is doing, but it won’t help us on earth

Bitterlaw@comcast.net.
If I get spammed, Michael, I will not be happy.
Tim – How does it feel to be endorsed by a True Conservative like Jul?
Author must have volunteered to do more errands after the Bucs’ season ended on the last play.
I have a feeling this will be another “right-wing engineering” moment for Gingrich:
http://politicalwire.com/archives/2012/12/09/gingrich_says_clinton_would_be_nearly_impossible_to_beat.html
Although it will probably take more than a day or two before he’s forced to disavow these comments.
Bitter, I have emailed. I am not a spammer, I will be just as upset when you respond back if I Recieve spam
Jul I am glad that you endorsed Tim, it makes you such a game changer

I didn’t say YOU were against the 2nd amendment.
So GFY.
I am skeptical about Hillary. She will be almost 70 in 2016, she already looks like a hag now.
Let’s see.
A jason-Tim fight in the closing days of the campaign. I knew I chose the right running mate (or did he choose me?)
It’s funny how Jul says Tim is a southern gentleman, and then Tim calls me a liar for absolutely no reason.
I was just pointing out that if Jul is concerned about the 2nd amendment, Tim supports a party that is primarily anti-gun rights.
I guess “southern gentlemen” are not what they used to be…..
” I knew I chose the right running mate (or did he choose me?)”
You invited me. I am sure it was because you saw me as valuable addition to your ticket, not because I was rising in the polls.
Giants are destroying the Saints.
There were some intense strategy discussions at first:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-B_K7fuQxc
#7…Bitter….I never said.”You told us God would not let Obama win.” However, I did believe as many others have that Romney would win and I prayed that Romney would win. It is my opinion that something went very wrong on election night.
The last two elections have been a great disappointment to me. I truly fear for the country I know. Martin Luther King’s words and JFK’s words have fallen to the ground.
Bitterlaw, did you get the email?
SusyQue, God is obviously a Democrat.
Obama said Jesus would have wanted higher taxes.
Deal with it.
SusyQue, the country that you know exists in your mind. Just retreat there, and you need not fear for it…
No e-mail yet, Michael.
Strange let me try again.
I got a copy of the email Bitter.
I wouldn’t take 5 grand to get out of the race.
” It is my opinion that something went very wrong on election night.”
You think?
@124 that was not part of the email at all!
Bitter how about now?
(Start 30 second ad)
Voice of 30 year old white woman:
Do we really know Michael? Can we count on him to tell us the truth?
The answer is no. Michael vowed to “take a break” from HHR.
Did he take a break? No. In fact, the truth is much worse.
He came back as a new persona, Minnesota and LIED about the fact that it was him.
Can we trust someone who is not even willing to come clean about who he really is?

@133 I know, and Tim is doing nothing.
Tim has done nothing to convince anyone except a small number of ludicrous people that he is best for Governor. I have worked with the leaders of the GOP as of now to strike deals to that will benefit us all.
Where has Tim been?
Michael for Governor
I took a course on communism once, but I dropped out due to lousy Marx.
Walt – maybe you should try it again but aprroach it from a different Engle.
jason – There were no negotiations. Since Michael has no supporters, he doesn’t bring much to the table.
Snow in Green Bay! Is that the first game in the NFL with snow this year? Cool.
If I am elected Governor I will ensure Bubu will be gone forever.
At this point, the choice is clear. Tim or Bitterlaw/jason. There is no way for Michael to win. Join the A-holes and be part of our movement.*

I’ve got graveyard votes. They’re a unified, and committed bloc. They always overcome their apathy, for the right candidate.

@143 Yes bitter, anyone named honey boo boo or Bubu or Bunu, as I alerted everyone in #3
@146 we must create an election date and time. Preferably after 4:00
Bitterlaw/jason 2012 – Vote for us or GFY!
Vote for Michael/Collins 2012 or STFU
Tim/lisab – If you can’t lick them…WTF? Who let Tim write when he was drunk?
As soon as Author’s girlfriend gives us back to him, he will be here to take crap from Bitterlaw about the Bucs.

It should be noted however that the President still has more passion among those who “disapprove” then those who “approve”. Whether this is a change in mood or just the typical “transition bump” or “holidays bump” has yet to be known until at least 100 days after the inauguration festivities.
isn’t the election for HHR Governor tomorrow?
A new Politico/Battleground Poll shows Obama at 50/47 in approval/disapproval. The PID is D+4.
How high did Bush get in approval after getting 51% of the vote in 2004? I seem to recall him getting a pretty impressive bump by the time the inauguration came around.
W PA
Good Morning.
Go to Gallup.It has a Presidential Approval Index page going back to Truman. W.’s and others are determinable at any point in time.
168- Though Gallup should distinguish that they only in recent years adopted a daily tracking poll- before that it was more sparse.
Ahh, they had Bush hit 55 right after reelection. Got up to around 57 at inauguration time. Then he started talking Social security and it went downhill from there.

Today, Ras has Obama’s approval/disapproval at 58%/41% and his Approval Intensity at 0.So in the last three days,Ras has had Obama’s approval at:
Friday- 62%
Saturday- 52%
Sunday- 60%
Meanwhile, Gallup and Battleground have Obama’s approval at 50%.
Is Ras any longer a serious pollster?
By the way,last Monday,Ras had the Congressional Generic Ballot at D+11.Today’s should be even more ridiculous.
Scott Ras relies on polling likely voters only. Because we saw a D+6 electorate this year he’s probably polling for a D+6 polling group. The problem with that is that we don’t know if we’ll see that kind of electorate stick w/ O out of future tickets. D+7 and D+6 happened w/ the Historic messiah of the left on the ticket, but it’s more competitive and even when he hasn’t been on. Even Dem strategists are worried about this and trying to avoid a 2010 repeat when so many Dems decided to stay home.
as for the bump, yes it’s very real. you can even see it in the slight bump for congress’ approval. the question is if it will stick.
” Bitterlaw (R) 52%
Tim (D) 36%
Michael (I) 9%”
As usual the third party vote is over-inflated.
Michael won’t get 9%.
And does this poll reflect Jul’s endorsement of Tim? Probably under 30% now.
Of course, Bitter/jason are bracing for a potential Yolanda(o) endorsement today. We have already designated people to the spin room to deal with this problem if it happens.
Mendez
Please go to Real Clear Politics and check out Obama’s approval and disapproval ratings post-election.Other than one other pollster,which used a PID of D+12 and came up with a 57% approval rating, no pollster has come close to today’s Ras’ 58%.This is a three(3) day bump for Obama in Ras from 53% to 58%. Friday’s Jobs’Report would not create such a bounce except maybe in in Ras’ polling.A PID of D+6 also would not be reflective of such a bounce.
Mendez,in all honesty and sincerity,what would it take for you to recognize Ras’ polling as,at best,poor and not to be taken seriously?(As you know, I think he is a fraud.)
jason – the only endorsement that would concern me is that of Bunu.
“Mendez,in all honesty and sincerity,what would it take for you to recognize Ras’ polling as,at best,poor and not to be taken seriously?”
I haven’t seen it yet. Ive never been a fan of using likely voter screens for approval polls but I have yet to think Ras is a “poor pollster”. I think he brings a lot to the analysis especially in him being the only one to aggressively poll undecideds and find that most of them were apathetic GOPers who didn’t turn out. If Ras has a string of major screw ups in the 2013, 2014, 2015 elections, then i’ll think more about denouncing him. Until then, I still think he’s one of the top pollsters.
Mendez
Fair enough. You are a loyal guy which is admirable.
Breaking:

FWIW Scott, I use to consider Ras the #1 pollster around, now I think SurveyUSA and PPP (their last polls, the ones before that are propagandist crap) are better ESPECIALLY in state polling
If I wasn’t running for office I would say I agree with Author.
I don’t think RAS is a fraud. I reserve that designation for PPP.
Of course that doesn’t mean I think Obama has 58% approval either.

Also, in today’s Battleground Poll,the Congressional Generic Ballot was D+2 in a PID D+4.

Of course, 25% of those same people voted for Obama.

100% of those who favor cutting spending just don’t want spending that benefits them to be cut.

yup 50 folks. For downtown detroit that’s a daytime mob.
When do in-person early voting and mail-in absentee voting begin? I would like to optimize my chances of illegal multiple voting. You know, “what democracy looks like.”
I’m sure the Paulbots will declare victory in the HHR Governor’s race.
OK, it looks like the national popular vote is set. 43 states have certified.
Obama 65,466,080 moochers
Romney 60,782,869 job creators
Percentages
O 50.96%
R 47.31%
Total votes from 2008 dropped by 3 million votes
Mitt won 222 Congressional districts, moochers cling to the coastlines with 206 for Obama.
Mitt cut Obama’s 10 million vote margin in 2008 by more than half.
211, We’re counting all early and absentee votes. HHR has no voter ID, so yes, Canadian commie Cory can vote.
210, unionism is dead.
#213, “Mitt won 222 Congressional districts, moochers cling to the coastlines with 206 for Obama.”
I think Romney won a few more CDs than that (around 225-228). But if he won exactly 222, then, had every state used the Maine/Nebraska system for allocating electoral votes (one for the winner of each CD and two additional ones to the statewide winner), then Romeny would have gotten . . .
. . . 270 electoral votes on the nose.
Bitter/jason might win the straw vote, but Ron Paul is taking HHR.

218, Washington state is very idiosyncratic.
from the usa today article
“Yes, the employer mandate will add to some companies’ costs of doing business, and those costs no doubt will be passed along to customers. Papa John’s says the price of a pizza could increase 11 cents to 14 cents per pie. But is that such a terrible price to pay to ensure that some of the nation’s hardest working, lowest paid employees will get health coverage they’ve never had?”
———————————–
this completely misses the point.
the point being, should the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT have the power to mandate this?
granted, states or cities have the right to do this in our system of government.
however, this is a MASSIVE power grab by the federal government.
in essence, we have become germany or france with their large and powerful centralized governments rather than our traditional decentralized government system.
@218 great!

Why Obama Won Catholic Vote By Two Percent
by Frank Camp
So why is it exactly that Obama was able to win the national Catholic vote by two percentage points? I’ll tell you why: ignorance. We live in a country full of people who are too stupid or lazy to take a critical look at anything.
We are told by the media that Obama wants to help the poor by implementing Obamacare and bailouts. Well, it must be true. We are told that all the hubbub about the HHS mandate isn’t a big deal. Well, it must be true. We are told so many things that aren’t true, yet there is such a dearth of critical thinking in this country that it all goes right over our heads.
It reminds me of a quote from Thomas Paine: “To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead.”
http://lastresistance.com/716/why-obama-won-catholic-vote-by-two-percent/
obama won the catholic vote by two percent for the same reason he won women,
mostly because of clowns like akin and mourdoch.
those two hurt the gop far more than COD did.

You are being too hard on Akin and Mourdock.
What about Rick Santorum?

Another 1.1 million votes left to count in California. The final numbers will be Obama by over five million votes nationwide – double the margin that Bush beat Kerry. Not even close.
There is is one political power in America today and it isn’t the Republican Party (the party of stupid)
How stupid you ask? Akin lost in Missouri (which Romney carried by 10 pts BTW)to a senator with a 30% favorable rating and he lost by 15 points. He is quoted after the election as “not sure what the reason for his defeat was”. Yeah, he really said that.
I’m now into finding other hobbies. Politics? Why even bother? It’s a complete waste of my time.

230, no, only 175K ballots are left to count in California. Margin will be 4.7 million, Mitt cut Obama’s margin in half. Obama lost votes by the buckets and also lost states–first re-elected president to do so. Also, House. No we didn’t ‘win’, but take a breather.
When GOP lost in 2008, it was complete shellacking. GOP didn’t control anything, not even state level. Today is far different. Moocher coalition has its limits.
Author you dance with snakes!?

yeah Mike, I also burn books and hang out with the “Gays Must Die” crowd. or at least that’s what lisab has said/alluded about me. Susy says I’m going to Hell since I don’t have issues with gays marrying. It depends who you ask what I am and do.

@238 its okay author, I am fine with gays marrying, it’s not on my priorities list though, more towards if the dems push it I am ok with it.
one of the biggest surprises from election results is that my current home county of Pinellas leaned more red then Hillsborough county this time around. It’s usually the other way around. O did a great job of hammering Tampa Bay and was able to duplicate his 08 success there. However his biggest accomplishment was offsetting the Romney gains from McCain across the state by winning by bigger margins and increasing Dem turnout (mainly Hispanic turnout) in the Miami-Dade area.
Author,
Once again you need to get your facts straight. The Bears beat the Colts this season and the Colts have a winning record.
The Bears are going to be one of 31 teams who will not win the Super Bowl this year, so it really doesn’t matter at this point anyway what happens.
I really don’t know why you and Bitter feel the need to harp on this anti-Cutler stuff and are bringing me into it, as Add does not post here anymore and Add and I are very different people to begin with.
2012 has been an absolutely terrible year for me in several ways, so I hope you would understand why I would take a little bit of offense to unneeded and factually challenged insults.
Consider this my Maxwell Farewell until my next post, whenever that is.
Corey, I personally hate the bears after they pulled a win out of their ass, literally against the Panthers. They suck if it takes that long to beat the Panthers (whom I Root for)
And the Falcons suck as well, with a 10 point loss to the Panthers and a 2-point last 00:02 second field-goal kick victory in Atlanta over the Panthers this year.
They are not a real team.
Frankly, I give Corey’s whiny “farewell” a 1 on the Maxwell scale.
In the first place, Corey is not obligated to take any so called attacks on the Bears and Cutler personally. I think Cutler sucks and Corey is a great guy.
And nobody is comparing the Ficus to Corey. Corey is a stalwart Romney supporter from the get go, the Ficus was an Obama boot licker for years.
If I was going to take all the attacks on Tebow personally I would have already taken a dive off the bridge into the Susquehanna.
Corey I dont have beef with the Bears. I actually rooted for them in Super Bowl 41 when I was surrounded by a city rooting for Dungy. I just have beef with this idea Cutler is the best QB evah. He’s not. He’s good, but he’s not an elite QB.
@244 at least I got a 5
“Once again you need to get your facts straight. The Bears beat the Colts this season and the Colts have a winning record”
I don’t think the Colts had a winning record when the Bears played them.
And the Panthers did not have a winning record when they lost either. But who cares, they still don’t, their (4-9) with the Eagles, Lions, and Cardinals, the arm pit of the conference. But I thin they will rise to 6-10 (last years final) by the end of this year with wins against the Chargers and Raiders. They beat the Saints at home this year, but don’t have good feelings when they head to New Orleans.
Is that good bitter? I don’t think I used any incorrect sports terminology
” obama won the catholic vote by two percent for the same reason he won women,

BS
If that was true Obama would not have lost Indiana and Missouri by wide margins, states he basically tied 4 years ago. If Akin and Mourdock didn’t hurt Romney in MO and IN why did he cost him in Florida?
Akin and Murdoch cost the Rs two important Senate seats.
That’s bad enough. And Akin IS a clown. He had a chance to do the right thing and he didn’t. Mourdoch was just stupid. He handed the Dems the sword and knelt on the ground.
” @244 at least I got a 5″
From me???
I doubt it.

@257 right
#243:
The difference is, the Falcons will be sucking in the playoffs.
The Panthers will be watching them, on television.
@25 oly because you won against e teams, face it Tim. The Panthers whooped the Falcons ass in both games, they were just able to save themselves in the first game. A bunch of babies, Ryan will never show that kind of cockiness again.

http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/335181/end-wave-michael-barone
@263 Bitter, you don’t know the Panthers. If they had gotten a field goal in all of those games they would have a 6-7 record instead Bitter. The team is great, the problem is Cosch Rivera and his conservative coaching, they lost to the Bears, they got 5 field goals, all were made in the red zone. Bitter, only two were justified the others they should have gone for it. Rivera and his conservative plays need to stay out, that’s why the Raiders sucked and why the Panthers are hurting now.
Small business people are already plotting ways to stay small under obamacare.
TN Gov is very smart to push insurance exchanges unto federal govt.
“If” is a game for losers, Michael. 28 teams in the NFL could argue they could be 16-0 every year “if only.” The other 4 could be 13-3. As my dad says, “if frogs had wings they could fly and not bump their asses on rocks.”
@267 you are hilarious Bitter, maybe next year the Eagles and the Panthers will make it to the playoff rounds
I always remember this moto Bitter.
Any game is winnable, (I use this a lot for Bobcats games and the PSU basketball games I go to.)
Any game, Philadelphia and Carolina showed that last Sunday
So for a “great” team, you could only give them a 6-7 record even giving them wins in games they lost?
@270 if you add every game they lost within 6 and which they led in the 4th nc lauding forced OT that would mean a 10-6 team. That is better than a 4-9 team Brandon
@271 not 10-6, meant 10-3
Brandon – Michael is young. He hasn’t suffered enough yet.
So, now your point is that if you give them more wins, then they’d have a better record? Michael, STFU.
@274 if you give a team more wins than yes you have a better record
Michael, you are terrible at realizing when people are making fun of you.
The Eagles are 10-3. Deal with it.*
*Pursuant to the Michael Rule.
Michael the Steelers have had a lead in 12 out of 13 games. Let’s give them all those wins. Hey, the Steelers are really 12-1.

You are also terrible at using “your” and “you’re” correctly. And, you’re terrible at not being a hyper, annoying idiot.
@282 not my fault that your stupid Cory, it was your own decision
Michael – The Panthers lost to the Chiefs. The Kansas City Chiefs. the 2-11 Kansas City Chiefs. You are not going to convince anybody that the Panthers are a great or even good team this year. Don’t become the Bunu of football.
@284 I am not here to try to convince you of that. Though I will say that KC was probably because of energy and they wanted the win badly
So when’s the voting?
No – The Kansas City win was due to the act that the Panthers (like the Eagles) SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think the voting starts at midnight. Do we have any New Hampshire voters?
You are still using “your” incorrectly.
When you say to someone “Your stupid”, it has the effect of making you look ridiculous. You are trying to accuse someone else of being stupid, but you can’t even put three words together correctly to do it.
287 that too Bitter, I didn’t want to state the obvious
288- I doubt it, but I’ll gladly perform the role of Dixville Notch this time. I’ve made my decision.
I cannot vote for the Bitterlaw ticket because his running mate is a wetback.
@289 I am using an IPAD shut up
@292 than vote for me since Tim is not an option since Jul endorsed him
Auto-correct is nobody’s friend.
I will not vote for Bitter, either. He loves the dark-skinned people too much.
@295 I agree, auto correct had made me had to post more correction posts than I want to
@296 Racist
You would have loved JT. Racist and homophobic and proud of it.
Brandon – JT was awesome. He used to declare truces and then flip out over anything even remotely critical of him. I think he believed that a truce meant he could say anything he wanted and never be cahllengesd. He had a certain azguy racism to him. Maybe he was one of the people azguy “knew.”
I loved how he would randomly capitalize letters in his posts like he had practice writing ransom notes.
And his brilliant analysis that Wisconsin would never elect Tammy Baldwin because she is a “dyke”.

He was pissed at me for not saying Christie is dead to me. I miss him and wish him well. If he was here, I would say GFY with a big smile.
@309 it is sad, where is Tina? Did we lose her too?
Tina is on a super-secret government mission.
