Whenever I hear conservative women speak against the Democratic Party as the pro-death party, I remember the story about coyote ugly. A man went drinking and toward the end of the evening he was blind drunk. A woman picked him up at a bar and she took him home. The man spent the night with the woman in bed. When he awoke in the morning and he could see better, he saw next to him the ugliest woman he had ever seen. He wanted to leave in a hurry but she was lying on his arm. In order to leave without awakening her he had to gnaw off his arm.
A month or so later the man was at the barbershop and the barber said that a woman was looking all over town for a one arm man whom she picked up at the bar; took him home; and spent the night with him. When she finds him, she is going to marry him. The man left the barbershop; he went home; and he feared that if she found him, she would want to marry him so he gnawed off his other arm.
The conservative women who speak of the Democratic Party as the pro-death party remind me of coyote ugly!
Ugliness is just not the face. It can be in actions, behaviors, and/or deeds.
Let's get rid of exit polls. I hate 'em. On Election Day, the news media endows exit polls -- surveys asking people whom they voted for and why -- with false scientific precision. And their early release often generates off-base projections and misleading coverage, which can affect the contests themselves.
Remember 2000? Early exit poll numbers released midday on Election Day showed George W. Bush tied with Al Gore in Mississippi, Colorado, Arizona and Alaska, and had Bush losing Florida. It was virtually impossible for Bush to prevail without Florida, yet those early poll results encouraged commentators to put the state into Gore's column as early as 7:48 p.m., while voting continued in the Florida panhandle.
This affected turnout. The 24 states where polls closed after 8:30 p.m. Eastern time saw turnout rise by 2.3 percent over the 1996 election. But in the 26 states and the District of Columbia where polls closed before 8:30, turnout increased 2.9 points over 1996. This meant that more than 400,000 voters stayed home in the central and western United States, most of them likely Bush voters. This potentially affected New Mexico (which Gore won by 366 votes) and Oregon (where he won by 6,765).
The exit polls colored the night's coverage. For example, CNN's Bernard Shaw declared Georgia and Virginia "too close to call," even though Bush ended up winning the former by 12 points and the latter by eight points.
In 2004, things were even worse. Early exit polls had Bush losing Ohio and North Carolina and dead even in Florida, Arizona, Colorado, South Carolina and Mississippi -- all states where he prevailed. Again, the polls affected the coverage, with the media reluctant to award Ohio to Bush, though he won it by nearly 120,000 votes.
On election nights, networks feel pressure to display early exit poll numbers in snazzy graphics to explain what groups are breaking what way. But these numbers almost always differ from the final version of the exit polls, after gurus crunch the data during the evening.
If America must have exit polls, then let's not add up the numbers until the voting ends -- and let's break our addiction to these polls over actual returns.

Your statement: "Many good friends of mine in the USA work for themselves in a effort to do what they love in many alternative fields of medecine, therapy, small businesses, spirituality. They are inspired by love, self improvement, helping others. And guess what, most of them could not do what they do under European Socialism or if they did they would be living at the poverty level." would be more helpful if you gave specific examples. There are people in the US that make a living scamming others with claims about their ability to help others. I hope those are not the examples you are promoting.
Hi, I wish you all good day, this site is really nice I would always follow this site. Help me a lot of time data would be obtained from this site, or hope to. But I want you to know that this site is really good Thanks a lot for the kind of perfect topic about this topic. It’s good to buy an essay about this good topic. Nice article, very helpful <a href="http://www.bahaneci.net" title="chat, sohbet, sohpet">sohbet</a> . Thanks
It is not just Americans, but mankind in general. that is why since the dawn of time man has always been in a state of war somewhere on the globe. I choose to accept it and move after all you can't expect to change millions of years of evolution in your lifetime. That is just arrogance.
We need to get beyond the limitations of good/bad labels around Socialism and Capitalism. Without both going deeper and looking at the bigger picture we will never resolve our problems.
European Socialism (which is just a label and labels are traps) has advantages surely but also a price (I lived in Europe 20 years) and that price is never discussed in the liberal-progressive community. The price is that the system doesn't support self employment, creativity, private initiative, self-reliance, entrepreneurial efforts, vision quests, adaptive behaviors, real rebels and paradigm shifters, etc...

European Socialism is like an over protective mother. As a result her children don't have to grow up since every time there is a problem, we go back to mommy to fix it. Pure Capitalism is like a harsh father that kicks you out of the nest at 18 and says you're on your own, good luck. It teaches self reliance but not love and compassion for others and the planet.
European Socialism is cruel in many other ways. I have self employed friends who after 20 years of very hard work and minimal vacation have almost nothing to show for it financially. The system took their life force and energy to feed the bureaucracy and their 35 hours work week, subsidized housing, early retirement, guaranteed employment and resistance to any change.
DENMARK AND GERMANY is not exempt. The difference however between them and PIGGS is that they have a much more efficient political and economy system that allows them to actually pay for their own Socialism. The Greek public service wants endless benefits but actually refuses to work, change, find new and better ways of doing things, so they can't pay for their lifestyle and it is subsidized by debt.
The point is neither Capitalism nor any kind of Socialism are answers to our problems. There are just different sides of the same coin. A coin with old belief systems that don't serve humanity,
Thom, I keep hearing you say that in the UK voters vote for a party, and the winning party then appoints a member of parliament. Not so. In the UK the ballots look very similar to paper ballots here in the USA. There is a list of names of actual candidates on the ballot and people vote for a candidate, not a party. (If a candidate is affiliated with a particular party then the name of the party appears below the name of the candidate -- see a sample here: http://www.portsmouth.gov.uk/media/StepbyStepGuidetoVoting.pdf )
The reason that Greg Palast is one of my favorite investigative reporters is the United States of Hell, aka the anti-Christ, will not let his books be published in our hell-hole nation. Our federal government is afraid of Greg Palast. He is the one person who can have our federal government fall to its knees.
Before I share with you an article, please keep in mind that the American soul is imploding from endless hatred. Fox News, our politicians, corporate America, the rich, and the federal government are creating a population that accepts and believes violence can solve all our problems.
Please keep in mind what is happening to our children from ages six to twenty-five - our school age children and our college age children.
The teen years have its problems but the teenagers offer us hope but they are now disillusioned by our world. Teenagers are into fairness and idealism, not just for themselves but also for friends and other people These teen years are remarkable years. These years can make our world a better place but now the teen years are disillusioned from the voices spewing endless hate messages.
