The Vanderbilt Poll is supported by the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions at Vanderbilt University. What does the above have to do with anything? I'll tell you. You thought a Democratic Institution was some type of Democrat led think tank and you were attempting to down play the poll numbers by claiming favoritism. You were wrong and you are trying to save face by going on some rant that has nothing to do with the conversation. I mean seriously, what in the f@#k does claiming we are a Constitutional Republic have to do with a senate race poll in Tennessee? Do you know ANYTHING other than lying? Seriously?!?! READ IT! IDIOT! ""It is a common error to assume that a republic is synonymous with a republican form of government. Many are misled(that would be COLESLAW) to assume that the republican form is merely a populist democracy limited by a constitution. Another misconception (that would be done by COLESLAW) is that elected officials in the legislature are representatives of the people at large. In fact, they can only represent constituents, i.e., citizens / voters who gave consent, thus power of attorney to bind them to obedience. " " ------------------------- The REAL truth is....both of the forum idiots are OWNED. -BOTH of them have no clue who their owner is. -They are both card carrying narcissists. ^These are PROVED facts. |

You triggered him. He thinks that he's smarter than you because he can cut and paste the definition of republic. He is also trying to further dilute what democracy means so that when Trump starts to gut it, he will argue that it was never really there, by definition. He is a long game sock puppet. Eroding our democratic institutions is the goal of this "republic" campaign. Chaos doesn't happen without bullshit like this. Like all lies, its starts with some truth, but that's not where it ends.

What in the fuck does that have to do with poll numbers for an election in Tennessee? Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions at Vanderbilt is fancy name for Vandy's political science department. Congress is a Democratic Institution. So is the Senate. See, in a Constitutional Democratic Republic, all of the government bodies that comprise elected officials are Democratic Institutions. We Democratically elect representatives to our Republican form of government. We dont have a 'Republican' form of government...IDIOT! It's a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC. ------------------------- The REAL truth is....both of the forum idiots are OWNED. -BOTH of them have no clue who their owner is. -They are both card carrying narcissists. ^These are PROVED facts.

So ours is a Republican Form of government that comprises Democratic Institutions. Democratic Institutions being governing bodies made up of democratically elected officials.

It is kind of crazy. The page from which he is quoting says that ours is a Republican Form of government, but he pulls out that one piece explaining that not all Republics are Republican as if that supports his position. That has to be deliberate on his part, right?

Its like watching a cab driver forward with only his rear view mirror as his reference. He just hits the gas harder than most.

I am fully willing and able to admit my miserable record at predicting elections, so much so that I am unwilling to say anything that would happen for fear of making worst impression possible or watching my best impression die with the slimmest of margins.

The Democrat is currently +1. The Republican was +8 before Trump got involved. DOH! Not a great call, Cole. Pretty much in the bag for Blackburn now. But, many of the other races will be interesting. In Obama's first midterm, Dems lost 69 seats, 63 in the House and six in the Senate. And presidents who poll under 50% average a loss of 37 house seats in their first midterm. I am thinking that the GOP does better than the averages and much better than the "best president ever." My hope is for us to hold the house and the senate. I just loving watching the MSNBC anchors cry. MSNBC's coverage of the 2016 election was the best ever. Watching that always brings me happiness. Republicans retaining everything will probably be for the best. Better to hang them with the impending fall, than have the Richt media blame it on Democrats again. The stock buy backs have been exposed, insurance costs are getting ready to blow, the tariffs are adding pressure like a pressure cooker to the economy and Trump does nothing but attend pep rallies and play golf. Fukk em, let them hang themselves. ------------------------- I was right. |
