Orca of Peace

IMO he's down 300,000 votes right now. Just my guess.

Beto needs a speech coach as he always overlays the second sentence before finishing the first.

terrorist murders are no worse than regular murders, the only distinction being political motive. The numbers are much less than even considering apolitical mass shootings, but media brainwashing leads to the usual paranoia. Hate crime legislation is an overreaction fueled by political correctness. For example, the Puerto Rican lady at the park who was verbally assaulted by a right winger for her PR shirt; he was charged with a felony, even without a physcial assault. Sure he hate PR or minorities but there is nothing wrong with hating people, legally. The KKK could march through town hating PR people and it's legal, that might lead to a fear of eventually being attacked. But it's legal. We need to decouple hate and it's legal escalation.

didn't the bailout occur under Obama? Was he for it? Was Congress R then? Wasn't' the economy on the verge of collapse were it not for the bank bailout?

both really, I've registered several family member who had never voted in their life.

7.6 million voted in the 2012 US Senate spot that had Cruz vs. the Democrat. It's nice of him to do that but he needs to really go to big Latino areas IMO to register THOSE people. It's a math problem right now, he needs an energized turnout which has 90% likelihood for Beto votes.

he was in Iraan today, population 1200. The crowd was about 30-40.

that's probably where the idea was hatched

the 2012 Senate election has 7.6 million votes, the 2014 with Cornyn had only 4.4 million votes. If we presume 9 million votes for Beto/Cruz, a 4% spread is 360,000 votes. If you cajole your people personally to get it done, it's very possible.

what makes a person hip anyway? does he have to go on stage with Run DMC? edit -- if you look at his support , it's the YOUNG people who love Bernie and the olds went for HRC.

when i was in my UT dorm room, Larry King's live radio talk show got me through many study nights. I also liked Howard a lot too on MNF and his interviews with Ali are legendary sports moments. Just b/c someone is old doesn't mean they are uncool, in fact their wisdom and experience are very intriguing.

i don't think he's unhip, just old of course. He's quite funny, charming, facially expressive - did you see the "boo thing" he does? He's your favorite cool uncle that's a welcome relief from the dorky parents. Once you get to know him, there's nothing to not like. edit -- as far as being "old", remember Reagan was basically a vegetable around his last 2 years 87-88 and the world did not end. If Bernie serves his first term, he'll be 79-83. Trump is just 5 years younger than Bernie.

or he could be dead for wearing a Longhorn cap or being fat, or both. Or for being very good looking and the killer is jealous of good looking dudes.

it's political correctnes and thought policing where a crime against a subset of the population is worse than the overall population. So if a rapist, in a town of 10k, says "I'm going to rape only the Asian women", 400 ppl, that is much worse than raping the entire town. How does that make sense, in the context that hate is protected speech.

wanted to give everyone an update. Destroying 2000 olive trees, the livelihood of struggling farmers should be some sort of crime, but for Jews this is forgiven. If this was being done to Florida citrus growers, what do you think would happen? The crazy settlers destroyed 2000 trees in 2 months in an attempt for force the Arabs off the land. Why not torture the suspects as they would for Arabs? https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-more-than-2-000-trees-in-west-bank-villages-destroyed-in-two-months-1.6336657 According to B'Tselem, in one incident near Hebron, 700 vines were damaged. So far, 10 suspects have been arrested, all of whom have been released Palestinians in the West Bank village of Al-Mughayyir awoke Monday morning to discover that they had had unwelcome visitors overnight: Car tires had been punctured, and houses were spray-painted with slogans in Hebrew protesting stone-throwing. Two kilometers away, 25 trees belonging to the villagers were cut down – the latest of more than 2,000 trees that have been destroyed since May 1. At least 2,000 trees were said to have been cut down between May 1 and July 7, including fruit trees, olive trees and grape vines, according to data from Palestinian victims of hate crimes collected by the Israeli human rights group B’Tselem.

deep throat wounds?

his B&W sign is very eye-catching and a refreshing departure from the regular red/white/blue, a very solid look

Lamar Jackson looked pretty good, strong arm. Looked very very much like someone we knew from the last decade.

July was brutal. I'm hoping to see Lamar Jackson, is he set to play? under contract? Anyone else on either team?

it's not the numbers, it's the percentages. There is no favorite among blacks amongst the white candidates AFAIK. It was kind of strange that Bernie won Oklahoma, then I realized OK has few blacks. He's got the white liberal vote down IMO more than any other and will split the black vote with other candidates. Any black candidate will take the black vote but Bernie will take the white votes no question. The key though are the Latinos of CA and TX who went for HRC strong IIRC.

Clintons are entrenched in the minds of blacks, I don't think any other white candidate can match that. So unless a black candidate is high in the primaries, Bernie has a very good shot at getting the black vote.

so Fake News?

how did Dinesh DSouza get out of prison so fast?

can those be downloaded and shared? what is OER?

Ted Cruz eviscerated nice guy Bernie Sanders (my #1) in a 2017 healthcare debate, so i worry about nice guy Beto being able to stand up to this wicked tongue.
