In a post for Examiner.com, Chambers sought to discredit Silvers recent statistical analysis that showed Romney flatlining in the presidential race. Chambers, who rose to prominence by asserting that pollsters were nefariously skewing their results in favor of Democrats, insisted that Silvers latest finding was more indication of that perceived liberal bias.
How could Chambers tell that Silver is an untrustworthy liberal? His lack of overt masculinity, of course.
Nate Silver is a man of very small stature, a thin and effeminate man with a soft-sounding voice that sounds almost exactly like the Mr. New Castrati voice used by Rush Limbaugh on his program, Chambers wrote. In fact, Silver could easily be the poster child for the New Castrati in both image and sound.

Everyone knows Nancy boys like Nate Silver aren't to be trusted!
I want the kind of pollster I would have a beer with!

And another thing.. just how many monkeys with a broken leg does it take to kick the seeds out of a dill pickle?

There is nothing wrong with Silver's appearance. He looks like a man with a few million active brain cells and a healthy heart instead of a lazy, drug addled, sleazy troglodyte:
Chambers ruined his eyesight adoring self-indulgent, pasty-faced Republicans. He should be shunned, along with all the other worthless conservative mouthpieces.

And if they're judging people on appearances, it boggles the mind to think they'd choose that 350lb ham in a size XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXL golf shirt.
Nice pic of Nate, though.

(9,760 posts)such a humongous pic. Yikes, it kinda scared me too when it posted.
Maybe the scariest thing it that this is what is considered by the GOP as attractive. The cultural pressure to meet a certain standard of beauty is bad enough, but when that standard is anything like this, we're in deeper shit than I thought.

Coulter: If we took away women's right to vote, we'd never have to worry about Dems
If we took away women's right to vote, we'd never have to worry about another Democrat president. It's kind of a pipe dream, it's a personal fantasy of mine, but I don't think it's going to happen. And it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least single women.
It also makes the point, it is kind of embarrassing, the Democratic Party ought to be hanging its head in shame, that it has so much difficulty getting men to vote for it. I mean, you do see it's the party of women and 'We'll pay for health care and tuition and day care -- and here, what else can we give you, soccer moms?'
Coulter has her own voting woes, left unmentioned in the interview, which is intended to promote her latest book, "If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans."
A lot more of her illegally voting in Florida, etc. at the link:

(53,661 posts)Tom Delay, etc. And they believe they deserve whatever they want to have and the hell with everyone else. As you said, people are doped up with a lot of stuff.
Hate radio a major factor in their skewed views and their voting patterns. Woe is me, I have a relative who moved from CouchPotatoLand to GlennBeckistan. It's a very nasty place, perhaps inevitable for that sort of person.
Consuming whatever comes out of the radio and television. An alternate reality that bodes no good.
P S. Wise edit.

(31,706 posts)...this skewed polls dude was the rage of wingnuttia when Willard was losing across the board and he came out of nowhere to be the pundit of the hour. Then the polls started skewing in Willard's favor and he became irrelevant. Looks like an attempt to draw attention one last time. Looking at his "predictions", after election day he'll be as passe as a Willard lawn sign...

(1,773 posts)His biography is unintentionally funny in some places -
In 1996 I got paid for doing a web site the first time, designing the site for Suburban Mortgage Company in Albuquerque, NM. I didn't link them because they've since re-designed, or had re-designed, their site since I created it.
My next web-based project has me joining forces with John Graham of Virginia to create a politcal surveying and strategy project called the Blackstone Strategy Group...Unfortunately, my great friend John Graham unexpectedly passed away on Jan. 9 of 2009 and the above described project was put on hold.
Might as well be bullstone inc. People FLEE from being associated with him.
