Could you select a worse choice of colors for the pie chart? 7 slices, you'd think you wouldn't need 4 with some blue in them.
Do you think respondents realize what reducing the national debt entails? Think they responded regarding the deficit rather than the debt?
You obviously don't know anything about cluster-analysis.
That's like cluster-fucking, right? You know all about that.
You're like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie.
You mean, and casts a shadow on the screen? Or just comes in?
...as a character in the film.
I want Junior Mints and a large soda!
Look at Ol' Glory waving behind Welch. Too bad there are pictures of him out there looking like a hippie, or he would have my vote in his third party candidacy.
Also, he likes polls too much.
Fuck off, slaver.
LOL, does it really matter? OPne thing is for sure, they will tell the Sheeple everything the WANT to hear, then never deliver once elected. the Sheeple fall for it all the time lol.

How true anon-bot. How true.
Why does Napolitano invite libertarians on his show and agree with them, only to bring up watered-down ideas when on someone else's show or when on his radio program playing to Team Red?
Just curious.
Because that's how you make friends & influence people?
You're putting an awful lot of weight on what the voters say they want, vs. how they've actually been voting for 40 years. There's also a poll of Republicans saying that a third don't want any changes to Medicare or Social Security.
