The anecdotal evidence is very flimsy, and polls are total crap. Many evangelical leaders are totally standing up for and defending Trump.

It�s reallllly hard to imagine more than a teensy sliver of people giving up on Trump and preferring Hitlery (because that�s what it is) because of a few seconds of raunchy language 11 years ago.

From Endorsement: We're with Hillary Clinton. Frankly, Donald Trump's dangerous. posted by freeper where's_the_Outrage?

This'll be an endorsement from AL.com, a major Alabama news outlet. Alabama is solid red this year.

the article posted:

Alabama has voted for every Republican candidate since Ronald Reagan, a man that captured our imagination with a hopeful view of America as a shining city upon a hill. Nearly 40 years later, Donald Trump offers a deeply cynical view of an America in ruin, an America that seems to exist only in his own dangerous mind. Even before the revelation of video evidence of Trump making lewd, demeaning comments advocating sexual advances on women against their will, we knew that he was unfit to lead this country. We unite with people across this nation � people of all parties, including an increasing number of Republicans � to reject the pessimism of his candidacy.

So now, the liberal view has morphed, from shock at Trump using obscene language, to now saying he�s advocating sexual advances against women�s will?????? Are these people messed up the head??? What the heck??? Where�s this odd interpretation of what he said coming from?????

I mean, on one hand, it's good that they're finally starting to be told this stuff straight up if they can't figure it out for themselves. But still, "I'm automatically attracted to beautiful [women]�I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait." is molestey, and "And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything ... Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything." is goddamn sexual assault.

The language has never been the main issue, you goddamn troglodytes.

One of the great things we've seen this week is a whooole bunch of conservative women waking up to how poo poo their men are.

quote:

To: where's_the_Outrage?

advocating sexual advances on women against their will..

This Clinton/Romney/Ryan talking point is being repeated endlessly, even though it is a lie.

Trump talked about women letting men with power and status have casual sexual contact with them:

"... And when you�re a star they let you do it. You can do anything.. Grab them by the .... You can do anything."

The sentence about how women allow stars to do certain things is omitted by the leftists trying to portray Trump as condoning or admitting sexual assault. And that sentence changes the entire meaning of the sentences in the rest of the paragraph.

Trump is making a statement that politically correct feminists don't want to hear - namely that there are plenty of women who are so attracted to men with power, money, and fame, that they are willing to engage in casual sexual activity with those men. Mick Jagger, Dennis Rodman, Jack Nicholson, Warren Beatty, Hugh Hefner, and Simon Cowell are all familiar with that kind of women. As are many politicians.

From Pence chides woman calling for 'revolution' if Clinton wins posted by freeper Timpanagos1

There's a video of the lady in the article

the article posted:

"Our lives depend on this election. Our kids' futures depend on this election and I will tell you just for me, and I don't want this to happen but I will tell you for me personally if Hillary Clinton gets in, I myself, I'm ready for a revolution because we can't have her in," she said emotionally.

Pence shook his head a little, saying: "Don't say that."

He added: "There's a revolution coming on November 8. I promise you."

She pressed him: "What are we going to do to safeguard our votes? Because we've seen how the Democratic Party is just crooked, crooked, crooked."

Hey, remember that nut that asked McCain about Obama being a foreigner and McCain defending him? We had no way of knowing that the birthers would be with us for years and years. As we've speculated in this thread, the nuts out there seem to be actively preparing for militia action.

A real campaign would be pushing back against this in a very large and dramatic fashion. But not this campaign. Trump wants them angry and fearful.

I wonder how many posts it'll be before someone accuses her of being a plant or some sort of false flag.

Pence is not admitting what I see and hear... he was on Hannity tonight and was just as relaxed about all this.. it takes a fighting man to win this... if Pence is going to be nice and agreeable... that won�t work with the bunch they are competing against. Nice against evil, loses.

That�s why a Christian man who believes he can be nice and fair.. cannot run in this atmosphere and expect to win. they would run circles around the man... it�s a fight to the finish and no slacking.

I like Pence... but Trump is the one who will win this with his fighting spirit and outsmarting them if he can in any way he can.. it�s important!very important!

Freepers having morals, that's a good one. These old bastards wouldn't know a what conviction if it bit them on the rear end. All that matters is what is useful to them at this particular moment or having an excuse to be terrible. Trump legitimizes their worst impulses, so they'll forever bow at his feet. He's what they really want, so they will do whatever they must to convince themselves that he's the embodiment of all that is good just like they do to convince themselves that anything they dislike or fear is pure demonic evil.

Some polls are so far off, such as the NBC poll showing HIllary being up by 14 points, that�s it is hard to know if we can believe polls.

So that�s why I ask if anyone knows if Rasmussen leans liberal.

It took them four days to notice, but WA Congressman Dave Reichert won�t vote for Trump in wake of comments about women posted by freeper Baynative

Dave Reichert's district is really weird. It includes south and east suburban sprawl from Seattle, a huge chunk of the Cascades, and significantish cities in super-Republican eastern Washington. He probably thinks he'll be safe with this decision given where the population base is, and he's probably right.

I'm a father of two daughters in their early 20�s and I can put Donald Trump's comments into context. I know that just saying those things does not mean he doesn't respect women. I know this because I have said far worse in my lifetime and I have nothing but respect for women. Somebody should kick this idiot in the bald patch where his balls use to be.

I called his DC office yesterday and spoke with them and they referred me to his campaign office here - 425-[snip].

I told both of them I noticed he was not on the list that unendorsed Trump. One told me that he had not endorsed him and I said I knew that and appreciated that he needed to walk a thin line because of the make-up of some of his constituents, so it was probably best not to say anything.

I told them that I had been voting for him and no longer would do so if he came out against Trump. That my family and I are big Trump supporters and would be voting for him. They could tell I was a woman by my voice, I said I don�t use language like that but over the years I�ve had guys tell me what is said in the so-called �locker room�, and, quite frankly, I�ve heard women using some not very nice things. Told them that I�m on a conservative forum and that there are many people that feel the same way and are not happy with the Pubbie admin.

Have they listened to any of the rap music??? I didn�t want to but have been at a stop light next to someone with rap blaring - and this isn�t a recent thing.

From NBC PLANNED TO USE TRUMP AUDIO TO INFLUENCE DEBATE, ELECTION posted by freeper AmusedBystander

So, get out your salt shaker, you're going to need it for this one: It's a TMZ article.

"Multiple sources connected with NBC" - not inside, not from, but "connected with" - say that the executive team knew about the tape far earlier than reported and they were simply waiting for a strategic time to release it. This conflicts with earlier stories suggesting the tape was only known about the week of the release.
Those sources say that "many NBC execs have open disdain for Trump"
Those sources say the executives wanted to release it within 48 hours of the debate, but held off because they wanted to maximize the impact and they didn't want it to get buried by Hurricane Matthew coverage. This conflicts with earlier stories suggesting the tape was held for legal review.
The leak was allegedly performed by staffers that did not want to wait until after the debate.
Access Hollywood's version of the tape minimized how much Billy Bush talked, on purpose. There was no planned disciplinary action against him until the full tape was leaked.

I'm not sure how much of this I buy, but this is going to be freep's smoking gun.

Here's another thing that this guy is posting all over freep. Sourced from the thread above.

quote:

To: AmusedBystander

US MEDIA AND THE MARXIST FRANKFURT SCHOOL
Still perplexed about WHY this CRAP keeps happening in and to this country and just never seems to end? This will clear it all up!
THE US MEDIA and OTHER CENTERS OF INFLUENCE AND THE MARXIST FRANKFURT SCHOOL!

This long forgotten � or completely UNKNOWN among the �snowflakes� and �yutes� � HISTORY of the close relationship between the leftist �educated� (indoctrinated is more like it) �pseudo elite� dumb asses being churned out of colleges and universities here and the Marxist socialism (which, if not strangled in its crib, has ALWAYS morphed into communism) that has failed everywhere it has been tried may aid your understanding of the media�s vicious hatred of Trump and his supporters (the now infamous �DEPLORABLES�).

The sad fact is that the media here is overwhelmingly populated by these deluded dumb asses! Any nefarious, otherwise disreputable act by them is acceptable � even encouraged � because, according to Marxist/socialist methodology, all that matters is �THE STRUGGLE� for their insane Utopian workers� paradise where all will be equal but some � including most of THEM � will be more equal than others!

You may be growing weary of hearing this but I�ll keep reminding folks until we reach the critical mass needed to defeat them. During Hitler�s rise to power as head of the Nazi (National SOCIALIST) Party in the 30s, he was greatly aided by one Ernst Rohm, head of the SA. Once Hitler had gained total control of Germany, in 1934 he purged (as in KILLED!) the party of EVERY member he felt might challenge his position. His old friend, Herr Rohm was rewarded for his help with a bullet in his brain in a jail cell!

Should this � this � WOMAN and her criminal crew prevail in November, it is my fervent prayer that those who aided her rise suffer similar fates � especially those in the media who have committed countless acts of the sort now the norm in the mendacious media here.

Think her election is impossible? The most dangerous phrase in ANY language is �Why THAT could NEVER HAPPEN HERE!�

I believe the expression that best characterizes the relationship between the media and the Clintons is the old one from the 50s: �FELLOW TRAVELERS�! You �snowflakes�and �yutes� will need to look it up as I doubt your teachers brought it to your attention.

Years ago, Dr. Gary North predicted that the radical left would capture America with the insane and human nature denying goal of �transforming� it into an egalitarian unicorn and rainbow Utopia by �capturing the ROBES�. By that, he meant those institutions we granted various levels of authority over us and our affairs: The clergy, the judiciary... and the ACADEMICS.

The roots of the problems in academia flow back to something referred to as the Frankfurt School and their 1935 move to COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY and the spread of Marxist thought (now there�s an oxymoron for ya�!) into every area of learning here.

A prime example of the rot now endemic in the academy is the COLUMBIA SCHOOL OF �JOURNALISM�. It is THE premier center for spreading Marxism here in America and it has been incredibly successful in its destruction of traditional and American values. Not only do its direct graduates permeate the media here, but many of them also double as teachers in lesser known institutions of media instruction. Herein lies the genesis of Limbaugh�s descriptive expression �Driveby Media�. Now you know why virtually every so-called �journalist� HATES folks like us.

The Wikipedia entry says that the �...FRANKFURT SCHOOL was founded in 1923 by Carl Gr�nberg, a Marxist legal and political professor at the University of Vienna,[10] as an adjunct of the University of Frankfurt; it was the first Marxist-oriented research center affiliated with a major German university.[3] However, the school can trace its earliest roots back to Felix Weil, who used money from his father�s grain business to finance the Institute. �

Isn�t it fascinating that here is an early instance of a Marxist ANTI-CAPITALIST organization financing itself with the hated PROFITS of a capitalist business? The hypocrisy is mind-boggling and a precursor to how the wealthy capitalists here fund the Clinton and other leftist machines!

More recent examples of that dichotomy would be the offspring of John D. Rockefeller who have largely spent their lives promoting socialism (using other people�s money, of course). And recently Bill Gates treated us to the wisdom that only SOCIALISM can solve the woes of this world. What these folks refuse to acknowledge that even THEY do not possess sufficient personal wealth to make a dent in those woes if the recipients of that largess are incapable of sustaining themselves once the largess stops flowing or is exhausted.

If one examines the life of Karl Marx, we find a bum who abandoned his wife and family to advance the socialist struggle and never worked or dirtied his hands at day in his life. That sort of thing was for the bourgeoisie, not such an exalted personage as himself. His guilt over that abandonment probably explains Karl�s fondness for state welfare paid for by the labor of others so that his abandoned family wouldn�t perish (not that a mensch like Karl gave a rat�s rear end).

Man, I'm loving these wikileaks ones. And by love I mean dread. Almost every single one of them has been so amazingly boring but that hasn't stopped the right wing nuts from whipping themselves into a frenzy.

From WikiLeaks: Podesta and Left-Wing Activist Plot �Catholic Spring� posted by freeper Trump_vs_Evil_Witch, what a delightful name.

The lovely article doesn't even link to the email itself. Here's what some wonk wrote.

quote:

Hi, John,

This whole controversy with the bishops opposing contraceptive coverage even though 98% of Catholic women (and their conjugal partners) have used contraception has me thinking . . . There needs to be a Catholic Spring, in which Catholics themselves demand the end of a middle ages dictatorship and the beginning of a little democracy and respect for gender equality in the Catholic church. Is contraceptive coverage an issue around which that could happen. The Bishops will undoubtedly continue the fight. Does the Catholic Hospital Association support of the Administration's new policy, together with "the 98%" create an opportunity?

Of course, this idea may just reveal my total lack of understanding of the Catholic church, the economic power it can bring to bear against nuns and priests who count on it for their maintenance, etc. Even if the idea isn't crazy, I don't qualify to be involved and I have not thought at all about how one would "plant the seeds of the revolution," or who would plant them. Just wondering . . .

Podesta replies,

quote:

We created Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good to organize for a moment like this. But I think it lacks the leadership to do so now. Likewise Catholics United. Like most Spring movements, I think this one will have to be bottom up. I'll discuss with Tara. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend is the other person to consult.

There's nothing new here. They've been trying to use birth control as a wedge issue for ages. But here's what the lovely freep article writes about Podesta's response.

the article posted:

In response, Podesta assures Newman to rest easy for he and his progressive pals have already created organizations explicitly designed to infiltrate the Catholic Church with progressive ideology, though he cautions that the time may not be right for full revolution � just yet.

And with the rhetoric turned up that high, it's only natural that the OP writes

The best response of the Catholic church would to be to do the unexpected. Reform all Catholic educational institutions to forbid the teaching of any form of socialism. Fire all academics who profess to be socialists, and tell all Catholics who embrace socialism that it is an expression of atheism and the cardinal sin of vanity, and is antithetical to the belief in God and their hope for salvation, leading only to death and oblivion.

This is that infamous tracking poll. It's the only one that's been reliably pro-Trump lately. Nate Cohn of the New York Times dug into the data to figure out why.

NYT posted:

There is a 19-year-old black man in Illinois who has no idea of the role he is playing in this election.

He is sure he is going to vote for Donald J. Trump.

And he has been held up as proof by conservatives � including outlets like Breitbart News and The New York Post � that Mr. Trump is excelling among black voters. He has even played a modest role in shifting entire polling aggregates, like the Real Clear Politics average, toward Mr. Trump.

How? He�s a panelist on the U.S.C. Dornsife/Los Angeles Times Daybreak poll, which has emerged as the biggest polling outlier of the presidential campaign. Despite falling behind by double digits in some national surveys, Mr. Trump has generally led in the U.S.C./LAT poll. He held the lead for a full month until Wednesday, when Hillary Clinton took a nominal lead.

Our Trump-supporting friend in Illinois is a surprisingly big part of the reason. In some polls, he�s weighted as much as 30 times more than the average respondent, and as much as 300 times more than the least-weighted respondent.

The polls we see released every day aren't raw data. The data is massaged and manipulated in order to try and transform the random sample polled into a better representation of what the pollster thinks the actual voter turnout will be. This can cause some individual people to have their responses highly weighed and others to be weighed less. Apparently it's normal for you to cap the weights, but this poll doesn't do that.

NYT posted:

Jill Darling, the survey director at the U.S.C. Center for Economic and Social Research, noted that they had decided not to �trim� the weights (that�s when a poll prevents one person from being weighted up by more than some amount, like five or 10) because the sample would otherwise underrepresent African-American and young voters.

This makes sense. Gallup got itself into trouble for this reason in 2012: It trimmed its weights, and nonwhite voters were underrepresented.

In general, the choice in �trimming� weights is between bias and variance in the results of the poll. If you trim the weights, your sample will be biased � it might not include enough of the voters who tend to be underrepresented. If you don�t trim the weights, a few heavily weighted respondents could have the power to sway the survey. The poll might be a little noisier, and the margin of error higher (note that the margin of error on the U.S.C./LAT poll for black voters surges every time the heavily weighted young black voter enters the survey).

But the U.S.C./LAT poll is a panel � which means it recontacts the same voters over and over � and so it wound up with the worst of both worlds.

So now we're in a position where we know that this poll has one specific pro-Trump voter in an underrepresented demographic that is getting their opinion amplified out of proportion. But freep doesn't know, and they don't care.

The GOP establishment abandoning Trump has done its damage.

As he warned yesterday, its going to make much harder for him to win.

Today�s poll is proof that he was right.

We not just fighting the MSM and the Democrats - we�re fighting our party that is supposed to be on our side and which doesn�t want to win.

Its maddening and I�m not surprised Hillary is up today.

The poll puts large emphasis on intention to vote by candidate. Trump has dropped 2 points there from 85.3 to 83.5 in the past 2 days.

The largest losses has been among low t men. The past 2 days worth of sampling had to have been brutal. I suspect most of the loss is among those that are GOP party line voters. The party riff has been more damaging than the tape no doubt.

Ironically, if you look at the detail, Trump is not down due to a collapse in female support. What killed him was a sharp erosion of male support, youth, and Blacks. The fact that this trend is starting two days after the debate is very troubling in this 7 day moving average poll. All of us need to redouble our efforts, engage and convince as many of your family and friends. The media continues to bury the wiki leaks revelations and promote only Trump negatives. Fighting through this is our best hope. Not good given the limited time and the fact that early voting has begun.

Are people that stupid that their support for a candidate wavers depending on the news story of the day ?

That factor, more than any other, is what causes me to view this poll as hinky. The single day shifts in the poll report, require single day shifts 7 times bigger. Drop Trump by 1 point takes a 7 point drop in a one day sample.

Looking just at the female/male breakout, the drop today is ALL MALE! That's weird too. So is the general contour of the African American graph.

All of those sudden moves require much larger single average moves, among what is supposedly a (mostly) fixed group of people polled. My bottom line is I don't find the poll credible.

Either that, or it's as you say. People treat the question like "what would you like for lunch today" and give their answer about the same amount of thought.

This is clearly copy/paste, but oh boy are they winding up the end of the world poo poo

quote:

To: BlessedBeGod

God is in charge of everything. He already knows what will happen in the present as well in the end times. He is in total control of our destiny. He allows evil to rise up and show its ugly head but at the same time, He is compassionate and will intervene when He hears the cries of the faithful whose prayers are sincere. Do not fear, for the day will come when the ones who believe in Him will be spared the horrors of the end times. I believe we are living in that time when Jesus Christ will soon appear in all His glory. That time will be the beginning of the rapture.

The word "rapture" does not occur in the Bible. The concept of the rapture, though, is clearly taught in Scripture. The rapture of the church is the event in which God removes all believers from the earth in order to make way for His righteous judgment to be poured out on the earth during the tribulation period. The rapture is described primarily in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and 1 Corinthians 15:50-54. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 describes the rapture as God resurrecting all believers who have died, giving them glorified bodies, and then departing the earth with those believers who were still alive, who have also been given glorified bodies. "For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever" (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).

The rapture will be instantaneous in nature and we will, at that time, receive glorified bodies. "Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed - in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed" (1 Corinthians 15:51-52).

The rapture is the glorious event we should all be longing for. We will finally be free from sin. We will be in God's presence forever. There is far too much debate over the meaning and scope of the rapture. This is not God�s intent. Rather, in regards to the rapture, God wants us to �encourage each other with these words� (1 Thessalonians 4:18).

They are confident that player protests are not a significant reason for the ratings decline.

Is this just covering television network ratings? I think TV in general has taken a big hit because of the ease with which it can be watched at your leisure online now, so people are becoming less tied to the TV to see stuff they're interested in. I know the Olympics this year suffered a big ratings hit because everyone just kept up with online streams and whatnot.

You know, it won't be FReepers, but I am legit scared for what some of these fringe, extreme right-wing nutjobs will do when Trump loses. Like, a "revolution" is way too strong a word, but people committing terroristic acts on US soil in the name of "FREEDUMB" and misguided rage is a very, very real possibility. There are enough psychos who think that those kinds of actions would be a good idea to make me honestly believe that poo poo will actually go down, and the threats made thus far have at least some base in reality.

I'm sure also that because I live in the south that these ideas could come to fruition much easier than the rest of the country, what with the unending supply of guns and ignorance.

I'm expecting to see another run on ammunition and gun sales if Hillary wins, similar to what happened shortly after Newtown. I'm predicting a lot of of the usual 'Gonna take our guns!' fearmongering that happens whenever a Democrat takes power but I'm half-wondering if it won't be a self-fulfilling prophecy this time because some brainwashed wingnut decides to take a shot at Clinton.
