  • Begich now leads the AK Senate race by about 1000 votes, and the remaining votes to be counted are vastly from Democrat-leaning areas.

    Looks like Stevens actually WILL lose his seat.

    • Gee. If he'd have only committed six felonies maybe he could have kept his seat.

      Comment


      • If he'd committed 8 he definitely could have.

        • I love Karl Rove...

          Do you like Joe Biden?

          I think he has an odd combination of longevity and long-windedness that passes for wisdom in Washington.




          It's funny cuz it's true.

          • You would bend over and take it up the *** for good ol' Karl Rove wouldn't you, Drake?

                  @ you being surprised at this.

                  was 2008 the election year when KH was pwned by professional politicians?

                  • I bet you're excepting him to cut your taxes too, I mean he promised to cut them for "95%" of the "working families" and he had a plan on taxes which the pro-establishment media (CNN, Time, Newsweek, MSNBC, WaPo, NY Times) so objectively presented (and re-printed ad nauseum) in the form of a fancy graph

                      I'm not surprised, you dolt. I also note that you still claim to be able to consistently beat the market despite not providing any methodology I can verify, nor even the results of your non-methodology. Just some vague claim about P/E ratio and ROI.

                      • From that reply, I note that I've hit a soft spot.
                        Don't worry, pretty much everyone makes the mistake of getting pwned by the politicians pre-election at least once in one's life, actually doing so at least once in one's lifetime seems to be a requirement for understanding politics.

                        And @ you for getting so worked up about financial advise you claim to be bogus that you use it as a method for (attempted) personal attacks when you feel uncomfortable on other subjects

                        Look, if a single quick point of mine truly got you to bother so much that you're willing to memorize an exaggerated version of what I claimed to be possible simply by controlling your emotions and having an intelligence level you've displayed in these fora, how about a forum competition on the subject?

                          No, dolt.

                          I'm interested in you finding a post in which I claimed Obama would not, in all likelihood, hand a giant cheque to GM.

                          I'm not fond of people putting words in my mouth.

                          Don't worry, pretty much everyone makes the mistake of getting pwned by the politicians on election day at least once in one's life, actually doing so at least once in one's lifetime seems to be a requirement for understanding politics.


                          Given that I've never seen you display anything more than superficial understanding of any subject, this is rich.

                          And @ you for getting so worked up about financial advise you claim to be bogus that you use it as a method for personal attacks when you feel uncomfortable on other subjects


                          It is a personal attack because you seem to have a habit of posting unsubstantiated claims, as you have here. Twit.

                          A forum competition on what, VJ?

                            If you're not surprised by this, then there's no real reason to get mad at Obama now. The time for getting mad at politicians for their ideological issue positions is pre-election. You can be mad at their displayed incompetence, but that's a different thing entirely.

                            No, you didn't make a post pre-election in which you explicitly said that you'd be very surprised if he, after getting elected, started supporting corporate welfare in the name of protectionism.

                            I did not make a post pre-election in which I explicitly said that I'd be very surprised if Obama, after getting elected, revealed himself to be a professional money-launderer and announced that he'd take half of all the money printed by FED to his personal bank account. Yet it could be obvious from the context of my posts that (1) I'd not want him to do that if elected; (2) If I strongly supported him on economic issues pre-election, I would be surprised if he were to do it. You don't go around writing posts in which you tell people you'd be extremely suprised if scenarios you consider to be near impossible happened. Yet it can be read from the way people react to events if they are very surprised from them. Of course, you end up with a success rate of far less than 100%. If you were not surprised by this you could, you know, just matter-of-factly say so instead of "counter-attacking" on a perceived war of words by suddenly bringing up a personal attack from an old conversation about a completely different subject (is this a thread about the irrationality of short-term stock price movements?).

                              You don't have to be surprised at something to be mad at it.

                              For your information, VJ, I'm not at all surprised by this. I'm still mad at it. Try to wrap your head around that, will you?

                              • By the way, if you want to bother with it you can go to Eventis (or, less likely CG, but I think it was Eventis) and find the post where I praised McCain for telling Detroit that they weren't going to be in the business of building cars much longer
