The constellation of elections taking place tonight make this Tuesday, arguably, far more important than SuperTuesday. In the previous post, I mentioned many of the elections going on today. There are even more recall elections going on…for a total of 17:
- Six in Wisconsin
- Three in Fullerton, California (with at least superficial relevance to Seattle)
- Three in Greenfield, California
- Five in Hermiston, Oregon
We’ll mostly focus on Wisconsin, but recall elections frequently have high drama and close votes tagging along. So grab a beer and popcorn, tune in to your media source of choice, and try to be entertained….
6:00: This page has a couple of sites livestreaming results tonight. However, I’m hearing something about the moon….
6:06: Dead heat in the exit polls…
6:18: With almost no precincts reporting…Walker leads Barrett 54% to 45%.
7:01: CNN projects a Walker victory.
7:20: Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch keeps her job. Which means, of course, that when Walker is indicted, Wisconsin will be left in the shitty hands….
7:29: On the bright side, it seems possible that Birfer-queen Orly Taitz will get the Republican nomination to challenge Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D)

Check out the NYT electoral map:
http://elections.nytimes.com/2012/electoral-map
It’s more than a little different than Darryl’s.
OH, PA are tossups. FL, too.
WI now listed as a tossup. VA, IA, too.
Look at all of those tossup states clustered right where Romney will be camped out a majority of the time. Meanwhile, Obama will be running to the West Coast in desperation, trying to scam money from CA and Seattle donors while putting in some face time in CO and NV because he needs those states desperately if he loses PA or OH.
Romney could pick Portman and lock up OH. Darryl’s already got FL in the Romney column.
I think the NYT takes exception to Darryl’s 99.9% likelihood of an Obama victory.
Obama’s got a hard road ahead. And he’s got to campaign against Bill Clinton, not just against Romney.

@1 Bobber,
Am I correct in my remembering you’re predicting a Walker victory tonight?
Bob spews:
DanielBice: There you have it: Final exit polls have it 50-50 for @GovWalker and @Barrett4WI. Earlier ones had Walker up 51-49. #wirecall [via Twitter]

Darryl spews:
Nutjob @ 1,
“I think the NYT takes exception to Darryl’s 99.9% likelihood of an Obama victory.”
Please correct me if you’ve found otherwise, but I cannot find anywhere where the NYTimes site gives a statistical analysis with a probabilistic outcome to the race.
It sure looks to me that this is another case of you not really understanding what all those number thingies are all about….
Bob spews:
@ 4
My guess is that statistics to show OH and PA are still in the Obama column are only needed if you are relying on data up to a month old as part of your model.
They’ve got SC deep red. You’ve got it blue because of your ‘statistics’.
They’ve got Nate Silver.
They’ve got Nate Silver.
They’ve got Nate Silver.
Bob spews:
@ 2
Yeah. Looks like it will be a squeaker either way based on monster turnout. Last spew from me was an 8-point Walker win prediction. Clearly it’s going to be far, far closer than that.
Darryl spews:
Nutjob @ 1,
“Darryl’s already got FL in the Romney column.”
I’m flattered, but I cannot really take credit for whose column each state goes into. I set down a set of rules in 2007 and after that, the leanings of a state is determined purely by the polls.
In Florida’s case, the three “current” polls weigh slightly in favor of Romney. The analyses give him ~70% of the simulated elections. A statistician would call that “within the margin of error”, hence the light pink shading.
But note that there was a new Florida poll released today that puts Obama up +4 in Florida. So, the more recent poll data may shift the state to slightly favoring Obama….
Bob spews:
Here’s the Lt Gov results (2% in):
Rebecca Kleefisch (R)
58.1% 25,067
Mahlon Mitchell (D)
41.9% 18,090
Is she doing better than Walker because……
She’s a woman?
She’s white and he’s black?
He might not have ever voted before 2010?
Wonder why her numbers seem better than Walker’s……

Bob spews:
@ 7
At what point in the season do your rules shorten the poll eligibility period?
Do you weight ‘likely voter’ poll results more heavily than ‘registered voter’ or ‘adult’ poll results and, if not, why not?
Bob spews:
Lawsuits to keep the polls open longer in the urban areas.
Darryl spews:
Nutjob @ 5,
“They’ve got SC deep red. You’ve got it blue because of your ’statistics’.”
Wrong again!!!
SC is blue because that is what the most recent poll found. It is polls, not the statistics that determines the colors.
The statistics are used to assess the probability of each outcome, etc. But the coloring of the state can be determined straight from the poll results.
Your inability to grasp even the fundamentals of what is going on is remarkable!
Bob spews:
@ 12
I grasp them just fine. You are entrapped by your model. It puts you far behind current-day voter sentiment until the polls come more frequently and until your eligibility period narrows.
I just like pointing it out. Not because it means I think you are wrong, but because pointing out how narrow NYT really thinks Obama’s lead is makes HA people less comfortable and more likely to engage than to cheer-lead.
Bob spews:
I like this site for WI results:
http://elections.huffingtonpos.....0008#graph
It also lets you compare 2012 results to 2010 results for the same counties, so you can see which way the trend is going.
Michael spews:
@2
He was predicting a big win a “mandate” even. What he got was the Republicans outspending the Democrats many times over and an election that’s currently a tossup. Some mandate.
He’s also forgetting that Walker wasn’t the only Republican targeted with a recall election and a bunch of those other folks (I forget the exact #’s) did get recalled.
Kim Jong Chillin spews:
Ouch…the Lt. Gov race is turning into an ass-kicking.

Urban results aren’t in. They’re always last. This will tighten up in about an hour.
@15 I think it was 2/6 state senators recalled on the GOP side.
Darryl spews:
Nutjob,
“At what point in the season do your rules shorten the poll eligibility period?”
Good question!!!! In 2008, I did it rather organically. When the number of current polls got large, and as the election approached, I shortened the window.
(When I experimented with different window sizes in 2008, I found it doesn’t make much of a difference…you saw that in the “special” analysis I did just for you last week.)
I’ve been thinking about using more objective criteria for this year…say, when the average number of polls per state > 2.5 or something, the window shrinks. In fact, one choice is to pick a threshold and then have the software pick the appropriate sized window.
“Do you weight ‘likely voter’ poll results more heavily than ‘registered voter’ or ‘adult’ poll results and, if not, why not?”
Well…there are’t any “adults only” polls that don’t also provide registered or likely results.
But to answer your question…I don’t weigh any of the polls at all. The “weight” of the polls is determined solely by the sample sizes.
You know…you could actually learn most of these things by reading the FAQ.

Bob spews:

Yup, thanks. Just saw that myself.
Bob spews:
NBC just called it for Walker.
Roger Rabbit spews:
@6 “Clearly it’s going to be far, far closer than that.”
Don’t bet money on it. Right now it’s a 22-point spread. Of course, that’ll get closer when Milwaukee’s returns come on. But even so, Barrett won’t get close tonight.
Needless to say, I hope I’m wrong, but I’m looking at the exit polls that show 60% of Wisconsin’s voters think elected officials should be recalled only for misconduct, and that’s how the vote is breaking so far. Walker clearly is getting votes from people who disagree with his policies but are giving philosophical factors precedence.
Bob spews:
This is why NBC did it so soon:
With 17.6 percent of the vote counted in Dane County, Barrett now leads just 55/44. He’s supposed to blow Walker out there. If that margin holds, he’s in deep trouble.
Bob spews:
I will be charitable and wish you all a fond good-night.

Nutburger @ 13,
“I grasp them just fine.”
That is doubtful from the questions you ask.
“You are entrapped by your model.”
On the other hand, the model beat Nate Silver, hands down, in 2008.
“It puts you far behind current-day voter sentiment until the polls come more frequently and until your eligibility period narrows.”
That’s fine with me. As the season progresses, the frequency of polls goes up dramatically.
“I just like pointing it out. Not because it means I think you are wrong, but because pointing out how narrow NYT really thinks Obama’s lead is makes HA people less comfortable and more likely to engage than to cheer-lead.”
Not sure I fully follow you, but you again seem to miss the salient point: The NY times results are largely driven by poll results, but probably has some human opinion mixed in (can’t really say…they don’t seem to document their methods). What they do not do is provide an estimate of the probability of each candidate winning. That is an analysis that is distinctly different from painting states colors.
Puddybud spews:
If Walker wins, will the unions recall their union thug leaders? How much will that cost?
Maybe the DUMMOCRAPT Wisconsin Legislature and Senate will skip town again?
Roger Rabbit spews:
This isn’t about turnout or voter suppression anymore; it’s about people saying they’re against a do-over election of the sort GOPers demanded here in Washington.
This is a defeat for the Wisconsin unions, but it’s a victory for the principle that we hold elections only once, even if the ballots have to be counted three times.*
* Actually, King County’s ballots in the 2004 Washington gubernatorial election were machine-counted at least 2 or 3 times and were hand-counted up to 7 times, so the final result of that election was extremely accurate.

Voters DO NOT want State Employee Union BossThugs or any Government Employee Union BossThugs calling the shots anymore and bankrupting State and local governments.
Wisconsin simply gave Employees a choice and guess what?? Tens of thousands dropped out of the Union.

I for one am glad that this whole goddamn thing is over and done with. It was a distraction, and it’s been hanging over our heads for long enough. I look forward to helping whip all you sorry right wing bastards this November. McKenna will have to work his ass off if he expects to occupy the governor’s mansion next January. And if he does win, perhaps the Democratic Party in this state would benefit from a little time in the opposition, although I am loth to think of the price we will have to pay. We’ve already had enough austerity, and that was with Democrats in the majority. I for one do not believe a goddamn word from McKenna’s mouth when he talks about increased funding for education. It’s one of those things where I would dearly love to believe him… but based on his track record, and more importantly the track record of the Republicans who might end up running the legislature, I cannot credit it at all.
McKenna has already made clear whose side he is on, and he has sided with Kemper Freeman and the Tea Party (although he does his best to keep quiet about that fact).

I have friends in WI who have jobs in the private sector, and the vibes I get from them is that they’re sick and tired of public employees complaining about how “bad” public employees have it. My friends’ attitudes are that the public employees already have a good deal working for government and shouldn’t complain. I suspect this sentiment might grow as ordinary folks take note of the pay and benefit packages that government employees often have compared to the average private sector guy or gal.

@79,
Might be a good idea to STFU, Puddy. An election in WI isn’t going to matter much in November. Remember, pride comes before the shit-storm.
future engineer spews:
@78 The politically smart thing to do for the public employees unions at this point would be to suck it up, wipe the blood off their face, and make a concerted push not so much towards protecting their own pay and benefits, but improving the pay and benefits of others. Really, that’s what it should have been about all along. It’s true, fire fighters, policemen, and teachers are all paid very well, and rightly so. In contrast, however, most of the people in the private sector haven’t seen a real increase in their pay since the Reagan years and many have been losing ground, not to mention getting shittier health care coverage than they used to.
So the plan of action going forward should not be about protecting the pay and benefits of public sector workers; it should be about getting back for the private sector workers what they lost over the last thirty-odd years, which the public sector workers were fortunate enough to keep. It should become the policy goal of the AFL-CIO that by 2040, single income households will be possible for the majority once more. If we could get to that point… well, it would be a beautiful thing, is all I have to say.

I respectfully disagree that this election won’t matter much in November. I believe it has clearly defined the issues and message for Romney. Walker has balls. He never pandered to try and win like so many R’s end up doing…guys like McCain. Walker has proved if you stand up for balanced budgets, economic growth, lower taxes and stand up against Government Employee Union Bosses that you can win and win big. It is the template for November races around the Country. The MSM won’t talk about it. The Wisconsin papers/TV Stations were in the tank for Barrett and he got his ass kicked. The Internet has diluted the MSM’s effectiveness. Obama is one worried bastard tonight because all he really cares about is his legacy and getting re-elected. His performance has been abysmal. Watch the polls 2 weeks from now. If Obama’s approval rating is still below 49%, he is going to lose.

@126 if Obama wins in November, but the GOP keeps the house, will you say you lost by the same logic?
bob spews:
@ 122, 126
Yes, it looks like the Dems did pick off a state senate seat and the balance of that body has flipped. RR is doing a victory dance, apparently.
However, the state senate is out of session until 2013.
And, due to census-related redistricting, things are anticipated to flip back to the GOP after the November election.
That’s correct — the Wisconsin Senate will be out of session until 2013. In November, 16 of the 33 seats will be up for grabs, and thanks to the redistricting that will be in place for the first time in that election, Republicans are supposed to pick up at least two seats. The unions spent millions of dollars and over a year’s worth of effort to get a temporary one-seat majority in a chamber that will never meet in session.
http://hotair.com/archives/201.....ver-deuce/
Walker improved his vote tally by 125,000 over that received in 2010.
Spin this any way you want, but the facts are:
1. Walker stays and his 2010 election was validated and actually reinforced. I’ll stay away from mandate because I don’t think he has one.
2. Act 10 stays.
3. The state senate gains by the Dems are predicted to be short-lived and have no practical value unless there’s a special session, which seems unlikely as there are no budgetary scares in the state, thanks to Walker and Act 10.
Yes, Walker outspent Barrett by a large amount to win a 7 point margin. Similar to Obama outspending McCain in 2008 by a large amount to win a 7 point margin.
Money talks. Bombshell revelation. Unfortunate that Walker was forced into demonstrating that fact once more but it really wasn’t his choice, was it?

Liberal Scientist is a a dirty fucking hippie spews:
This is also interesting, from Pew, via the Monkey Cage.
Refer to it when bub starts braying about polling being faulty and overly-Obama oriented if there aren’t 35% self-identified Republicans.
Look at the graphs. Fall off in self-identified Republicanism from about 2004-2012 and an inverse increase in ‘Independents’ – people are embarrassed to call themselves Republicans. Also look below at partisan splits in how these self-identified groups see various issues – a progressive disinclination on the part of Republicans to either assist the unfortunate (perhaps we should call them the ‘least of our brothers’) or protect the environment (God: “What have you done with my planet?!!”)
Doesn’t this make baby Jeebus cry?
There’s the data, fewer and fewer people have the stomach to call themselves Republican, and that parallels Republicans taking nastier and harsher and more self-centered and destructive (read: prick-ish) political positions.

Er, does that not equate to………….
A tie, assuming Kos’ exit poll is similarly off?
Please respond. Would like to know how you perceive exit polls vs results just a few hours later that were so different.
bob spews:
@ 132
See p 110 of the actual Pew report. Only two-thirds of the respondents were registered voters and we know that ‘likely voters’ are more likely to be GOP than simply registered voters.
35% was the Republican percent of the 2010 electorate. It matters not what Pew results say if only 2/3 of the respondents bother to vote. Your data is irrelevant.
What I have said previously is that if a poll has Republicans sampled well below 35%, and since it was 35/35 GOP/Dem I also say that if polls have Republicans sampled well below Dems, that poll’s results should be interpreted as suspect due to bias.
I hold to that belief.
Now explain to us at HA why we should care about a Pew study that doesn’t focus on those who care enough to show up to vote. Or at least spend a stamp on it.

@ 131, 146
Interesting piece on exit poll numbers by Michael Barone this morning:
http://campaign2012.washington.....ber/582041
It has been emblazoned on mainstream media that the exit poll also showed Barack Obama leading Mitt Romney in the state 51%-45%. But if you think the exit poll was 4% too Democratic—and that’s in line with exit poll discrepancies with actual vote results over the last decade, as documented by the exit poll pioneer, the late Warren Mitofsky*—that result looks more like 49%-47% Romney. Or assume the remaining Milwaukee County precincts whittle Republican Governor Scott Walker’s margin over Democratic Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett to 53%-47%, which looks likely, the Obama-Romney numbers would look like 48%-48%.
The NYT exit poll numbers were based on questions asked at 35 precincts. A few too many precincts close to urban centers by people too lazy to drive to the red parts of the state could easily skew numbers.
So could ugly liberal women grad students asking the questions, apparently:
*Mitofsky found that the biggest WPE, Within Precint Error, where exit poll results tilted most heavily toward Democrats compared ithe actual vote, were in precincts where the interviewers were female graduate students.
Moral of the story: If she looks like Janeane Garfalo, not only do you not want to fuck her, you don’t want to believe her data, either.

If Walker’s ass would be on the street for asking public safety unions for concessions, how come Barrett is still mayor for doing exactly that?

What is lost on you liberals is that what Walker did was necessary, and Barrett used the results of Act 10 to good advantage in his own city.
You just don’t like the way he did it. So you tried the do-over approach after running away from reality for a couple of months.
How did that work out for y’all?

Bob spews:
@ 153
I believe that, historically, relationships between public safety unions and executives have been a little better than the education and misc. service union relationships have been.
Recall that locally, police agreed to forego raises even though called for in their existing contract, due to a budgetary shortfall. Detroit’s police union just agreed to take a large cut. In exchange, more of their members stay employed.
Contrast that with the teachers’ unions, who won’t give up bennies even if it means their recent hires are cashiered as a result.
I’d have to look but I would bet that Walker got some concessions from public safety unions without a fight, circumstances being what they were. A guess.
Bob spews:
@ 155
See @154 and @ 156.
Some unions are less willing to act like assholes in public, because they better understand that their health is tied to that of their employer. Consider Boeing’s relationship with the SPEEA, vs that with the Machinists, for example.

Bob spews:
@ 160
You need to look at the timeline of those concessions. They first refused, then when they saw the movement against them, reconsidered.
Unions likely could have prevented what happened had they been prescient about what is happening @ 159. Simple demographics should tell them what is needed. They refused to concede. Recall that Doyle, Walker’s predecessor, tried to ram through a contract that would give the unions two more years of breathing room, but a couple of Democrat senators with a conscience refused to go along, leaving the unions exposed. Still, the unions demanded everything they thought they deserved.
They acted like assholes until their backs were against the wall and the Dem senators had already run from the state to avoid passage of a budged bill they didn’t like.
And THEN, the unions offered some concessions. Too little, too late.
Nice try.

How can you see it differently?
How is that any different than going to a restaurant, eating the meal and then unilaterally deciding the meal was too expensive and only playing pennies on the dollar for it. If you did that, you would be arrested, for breaking the law, the contract you had with the restaurant.

So what? The Obama thrill up the leg is gone friend.

They will either vote for Romney or not vote at all. The Government Employee Unions have neutered themselves. They were behind a huge turnout in 2008.
Michael, it was an interesting observation…but look at it this way–
1) How many folks who voted for McCain in 2008 will now vote for Obama in 2012? Pretty close to zero, right? And in 2012, Republican turnout was way down..right?
2) Independents have swung significantly Republican.
3) Democrats are disillusioned to a much larger proportion than the thrill of 2008. It’s a fact.
BTW, that’s what happens when a candidate actually now has a record of actions & results to defend rather than running around like a rock star loving to hear his own voice at every opportunity.
So, nice observation. What are you going to do about it..knowing that the Republican opposition is not sitting still but are energized and aggressive??
Any ideas Michael??

Plus YLB, what’s wrong with divide and conquer. Only you are lumping all Unions together. Conservatives don’t dislike all Unions…just Government Employee ones providing non-essential services.
You’ve got it bro’!

This is out of the mouth of one of your own, libbies:
“This really is a test case. The far right made Wisconsin its petri dish,” said Robert Kraig, executive director of Citizen Action Wisconsin, a grassroots progressive group that supported the recall effort. Walker’s win, he said, will embolden the Koch brothers and other national conservative funders to get ideologically sympathetic Republicans to push their agenda across the country.
“Wisconsin will not be the high water mark of the attack on unions, public employees, and the middle class,” Kraig said. “You will see more Walker-like politicians elected in other states, and you will see more current governors taking this type of attack.”

I hadn’t heard this before:
Even though Mr. Obama kept his distance from the state in the final weeks of the union-led recall effort, the president’s party, his campaign team and his labor allies exerted an enormous joint effort in the state that proved ineffective against an organized and well-funded Republican apparatus.
More than 40 offices run by the Democratic National Committee and Mr. Obama’s campaign deployed more than 100 paid staff members alongside union and state volunteers for months in what amounts to the first real test of the president’s ground game before November’s election.
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06.....ation.html
Anyone else know Obama was this deeply involved in WI?
It’s in play, people. 100 staffers is an awful lot for an election that purportedly has no effect on the national picture. WI’s a tie, not a comfortable Obama lead.

Absolute stinking bullshit.
Conservatives have evicerated non-public unions already. One of their central arguments was directed an no-longer-unionized workers and saying, in effect, “Look how good those unionized public workers have it – aren’t you angry and jealous?” (not mentioning that private unionization led the way for the middle class to exist in the first place, along with the weekend, and health insurance for workers, and workplace safety regulation…)
Conservatives have waged war on working people organizing…FOREVER. A central theme in right-wingism is absolute disgust at having to pay people fairly for their labor. These people want serfs – and that is the explicit goal of the Kochs of the world, and their lackeys like Scott Walker.
Michael spews:
@203
Yep! Economics is basically a zero sum game, less money in the hands of the working classes means more money available for the ownership class. But, what’s going to happen to the stock market when those workers can no longer afford the products being sold by the companies that the ownership classes own stock in? I’ll give you a hint, we saw a couple years back what happens when people stop buying stuff in mass.
That the stock market is greedy, myopic, and incapable of looking out for its own long-term health isn’t exactly news.

Right, and since Obama won by a large margin in ’08 he doesn’t need those votes in ’12.
As evidenced by what? Obama’s polling ahead of Ronmey. Even in this last election in WI exit polls had Obama ahead of Romney.
Which is why Obama’s polling ahead of Romney… Are Democrats disillusioned? Yeah, probably. But, Obama’s still ahead of Romney, Maria Cantwell’s still going to win against the fool running against her. Derek Kilmer’s still going to be the next congressman from WA 06 and there’s scads of data to back that up.
Plus, even if Romney does somehow pull off a win, look at his record as governor of MA. Romney’s closer to me politically than heis the Tea Party. And btw, the culture war’s over and your side lost.

I predict DNC, DSCC, DCCC have serious trouble raising cash this year. Obama’s Super PAC is already in trouble. Obama will keep up with Romney but the donors to Dems in 2008 won’t repeat it this year, and the conservative PACs will do everything they can to avoid another four years of The One.
GOP won’t run out of money. Dems likely will.
Bob spews:
@ 215
Obama’s barely polling ahead of Romney. Gallup has it 46-45 and that includes days before the awful jobs report from May. Get rid of those days and the 7 day rolling average favors Romney, I suspect.
You’re really going to mention the exit poll as proof Obama’s ahead? Really? That poll was 7 points off in the gov race. What makes you think it’s’ more accurate in the presidential race, which had Obama 7 points higher than Romney?
This race is even. Look at the NYT distribution of electoral votes. Obama has, what, 223 or something to Romney’s 206? And a shitload are tossups.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker Wants To Put An End To Hospital Visits For Same-Sex Couples
Last week Walker filed the necessary legal documents to gut the registry.

You know, like an actual marriage. Perhaps Walker regards gays as being just as greedy as teachers and firefighters.

Replicate that dropoff across the board, and all the key swing states flip to Mitt Romney.

YLB spews:
So Roger,
Puddybud’s been real annoying about my wife’s membership in SEIU over the years.
He’s said obnoxious stuff like
Maybe you need the SEIU wife to add some gravitas to your posts.
Really bizarre stuff like:
You are in your SEIU corner now.
And some really creepy, stalking stuff like:
So I have to ask the arschloch… was that Mrs Arschloch in the audience at the 10 second mark?
Ok that was Puddybud being his normal obnoxious, batshit insane self but then there’s the contradictions.
Between the link I posted in this thread @ 213 a nd all his ranting and raving about “union thugs” and something recent I’ve found in database searches of Puddybud’s anti-union comments…
I gotta ask since you’ve been unfortunate enough to be in the same room with the lunatic and I’m curious. Has the topic of Puddybud’s family’s union membership come up in the conversation? I’m talking CLOSE family members. Closer than the cousins he’s mentioned.
And if this topic did come up?? Which union(s) are involved?
Just curious since one “good turn” from Puddybud deserves another and all…
Roger Rabbit spews:
@250 When I met puddy, we were introduced, shook paws, and there was no conversation as he had to leave immediately. So I didn’t get a chance to talk with him, even if I had wanted to.
In person, for that very brief time, he came across as rational and even pleasant. He didn’t foam at the mouth or try to bite my neck. Which leads me to suspect very strongly that his online rants are an act. From my possibly more objective viewpoint, it looks to me like he’s trying to get your goat. I’m reminded of the sign at the zoo that says, “Don’t Feed The Animals.”
I don’t know what puddy’s wife does, or whether she belongs to a union. The only thing I remember about her is that she’s caucasian.
Puddybud spews:
Oh poor poor clueless moron ylb.
SUCKS TO BE YOU!
Roger there was a conversation. You don’t remember? And isn’t my wife BEAUTIFUL?

@252 Of course your wife is beautiful. What I don’t understand is why she married you. She certainly could have done better.
Puddybud spews:
Whatamoron! The SEIU video shows some “caregivers” on a weekday not working and meeting the overpaid union boss. The camera spans the crowd and I ask the crazed databaze keepa was that his wife at a certain time span. To him that’s stalking, to Puddy it’s asking a legit question about why ain’t she working?

Roger Rabbit spews:
It doesn’t matter if Republicans wipe out the unions because work is obsolete anyway. In the future people will support themselves by owning stuff. The ones who don’t will live by borrowing from those who do. No one will make anything anymore because derivatives are the only thing the world needs.

Roger Rabbit spews:
@264 Instead of going through all this rigamarole, why don’t you just answer his question, and tell him which union your wife belongs to? Do you have some reason for keeping that a
deep, dark, secret?
Puddybud spews:
Where did I ever say my wife belongs to a union? Great try Roger DUMB Wabbit. And, I don’t answer to beta boi.
His roping you into this proves how desperate he is. This is a teachable moment Roger DUMB Wabbit! His crazed databaze is an abject failure!
Roger Rabbit spews:
@266 If she doesn’t, then all you have to do is say, “My wife doesn’t belong to a union.” How difficult is that?
YLB spews:
Thank you Roger.. Your response was helpful…
LMAO!!! And that was PRICELESS!!!! WAAAAAA HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Heh. I don’t know what his wife does either nor do I care, but her union membership status is something I’ll talk about on the Friday Multimedia thread..
That is, if someone doesn’t come clean first.
YLB spews:
Heh.. Tell me asshole. Why the 10 sec mark? Why not the 8? Why not the 12?
Why the 10?
Call it stalking or not. It’s freaking creepy..
I’ll answer the question about the 10 sec mark if you come clean..
Which union is it?
YLB spews:
Indeed.. It is easy. However he has said she doesn’t “work for SEIU”..
I guess that rules her out being a paid organizer for that particular union.

Roger Rabbit spews:
Is The Fed’s Low-Interest-Rate Policy A Mistake?
There seems to be an underlying assumption that low interest rates are always stimulative. Always. But is that necessarily true?
A recent article in Fiscal Times, a New York and Washington D.C. based online periodical with a conservative bias, says:
“In theory, low interest rates should stimulate growth because businesses will borrow to invest in new plant and equipment, and both businesses and consumers will refinance loans to free up cash flow and increase disposable income. And insofar as low interest rates reflect an easy money policy, they should raise inflationary expectations. If businesses know that they will be able to charge higher prices in the future, the prospect of increased profits should also stimulate investment. Families expecting higher home prices in the future should want to buy now and so on. None of these things are happening. Despite a low fed funds rate and a sharp increase in the money supply, inflationary expectations have fallen. Consequently, business investment and home buying have not picked up.” [Emphasis added]
This is a possible explanation:
“Over the last several years, the Fed’s low interest rate policy has sharply reduced personal income. In 2008, people earned $1.4 trillion in interest income, 11.1 percent of total personal income. In 2011, interest income fell to $1 trillion and represented just 7.7 percent of personal income. If people were still receiving as much interest income in relative terms as they were in 2008, total personal income would be $450 billion higher. More than likely, personal consumption and GDP would be higher by about the same amount. That would have given the economy a robust rate of growth, rather than a barely adequate one.
“Some economists, such as Robert Higgs, are starting to focus on the low level of interest income as a key factor in slow economic growth. They note that those individuals most likely to depend on interest income, such as the elderly, have been forced to cut back sharply on their spending. Alternatively, savers must seek out riskier investments than they would prefer in order to get a decent rate of return. This may create a financial bubble of the sort that created the current economic mess.”
So why does the Fed continue pursuing a policy that may be holding back growth and/or creating dangerous new financial bubbles? Here’s a possible reason why:
“Other economists, such as Carmen Reinhart, believe we may be seeing the beginning of what she calls ‘financial repression’ — a deliberate government policy of holding down interest rates in order to make the federal debt more bearable. While this may help the federal government, it comes at the expense of consumers and perhaps economic growth as well.”
http://www.thefiscaltimes.com/.....aspx#page2
Roger Rabbit Commentary: Here’s another problem with near-zero interest rates that occurs to me: When banks’ cost-of-money is nearly zero, they have little incentive to lend, because it isn’t costing them anything to hold cash in their reserves — and doing so makes regulators happy. On the other hand, if they had to pay 2 percent or 3 percent for money, they would have an incentive to lend it out, because sitting on it would cost them money. Consequently, zero interest rates may tighten credit instead of expanding it.
Roger Rabbit spews:
@271 et al. – This will be my last comment on this topic, as my time obviously is more valuable than puddy’s, and I have better things to do.

You mean you’re not sure?? How could that be??
Awwwwwwww. Mr. Know-it-all don’t know it all..
How it sucks to be Mr. know-it-all..
Puddybud spews:
Oh please you are hanging yourself more and more. Goodness, this moron doesn’t even know when to shut up. More ammunition.
Billy Jack? What an ASS. She’ll enjoy reading this too!
Can’t wait to read Friday Night’s entry clueless idiot. Puuuleassse make it worth your while.
YLB spews:
Which union is it?
See. I admit to not knowing it all..
YLB spews:
Wow PuddySilly you got me scared.. LOL!
Agent Willhemina Jack looks like a bulldog..
A heavy duty crime fighter.. A distinquished career no doubt.
Damn with your pull, she’ll pull out the stops to put an end to my nagging question:
Which union is it??
Looking forward to meeting her.
YLB spews:
Oh please keep making me laugh!!!!
Well I tried. He could have ended it now by coming clean. But he’s not going to.
Shit I even offered to answer his question about the SEIU video..
I’m not making up shit. Just reporting what’s HE HIMSELF has typed into these threads. Nothing more, nothing less. All public information. No looking at third party sources or hacking – nothing like that.
Tommorow night – I will report and the HA community will decide.
YLB spews:
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Damn this Agent isn’t just Willhemina Jack..
She’s freaking DANA SCULLY!
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! HAHAHHAHAHA!
Puddybud spews:
That’s what cyber-stalking about moron, because you cataloged it and admitted it on this blog. Did you look it up fool?
Please keep it up. Please (yank chain here) please please. Just more PuddyAmmunition!
Why not report it now? I’m so scared and will be capturing it for good use. Imagine at a DL an FBI agent arrives to discuss your antics. Yeah… that would be really nice.
YLB spews:
Shit! Give it up Puddybud.. You’re in your incoherent corner now.
How long we gonna do this? I’m willing if you’re willing if you think that’ll strengthen the FBI’s case. Shit man you got pull.. You got the “gubmint” at your beck and call increasing the deficit on demand!
Going after me, a comment threads contributor, instead of organized hoods, crooked politicians and jihadis..
But I’ll be out this evening for a few hours.
I’d be happy to proffer more evidence for Agent Jack-Scully
YLB spews:
Why not report it then?? Sorry.. I already told you how you can end it.
Turnabout is fair play.
YLB spews:
Oh what a wise use of taxpayer dollars that is.. Trying to track down a comment threads guy.
Quite an imagination on you there dopey.
Kim Jong Chillin spews:
another epic posting day by ylbigot.
I suppose posting on blogs is the “in” thing to do when you arent working.
Puddybud spews:
Man oh man this is gonna be good. Hmmm… Thread 24531 and Thread 43933, good cracker.
Well you created the crazed databaze and bragged how you were going to use it. Me, Cynical, ld, max, etc. You see it’s all here. Every word you said about what you were doing and how you were going to use it. Cyber-stalking moron, plain and simple. All on your home system. Just waiting for the right time.
And after tomorrow night the right time is fulfilled but your crap today is pretty good!
Kim Jong Chillin spews:
nobody fucking cares….accept you.
YLB spews:
309 – Glad to oblige.. And getting a little boooored at how you’re going through the motions on this.
Yeah I said I was going to expose your insane ass behavior and what have we learned??
Lots..
You run off at the mouth when you should know better..
You posted like 22 comments a day for a year..
You posted 125 comments a day one time..
You posted 24 comments in one hour.
You imagine those whose stomachs turn at your ridiculous views to have kids who are “sluts” and “prostitutes”..
You carry on conversations with your sockpuppets and even brag about the family dick size to them.
I’m very much looking forward to discussing this and more with Agent Willhemina “Dana” Scully-Jack.
YLB spews:
Oh and the POS who’s on permanent ignore right now..
He’s an even more interesting challenge..
Thousands of comments under numerous obnoxious-ass handles – same old stupid crap under all of them..
And so many posted 7-4, 8-5, 9-6, what have you. Tsk tsk.

Heh. Whadaya know? It still fits in under a quarter of a mediocre thumb drive.
It’ll fit better when I purge those snapshots.
Kim Jong Chillin spews:

Puddybud spews:

Beautiful libtard smack downs.

Oh and trust me, how I prefaced my comments will get through just fine!
YLB spews:
Well I’m back from tonight’s big to-do..
Any word from Agent Willhemina “Dana” Scully-Jack??
Hmmmm. Not a peep…
Just the same ol’ lame pap from PuddyIdiot..
