So How Did Repubs Lose A House Race In A District They Gerrymandered To Be Democrat-Proof???

[Rambunctious]

Guy, everyone sounds like an "outsider" when they first run for office... this isn't impressive.

This race was a referendum on Trump, and Trump lost.

Nope you can hope all you want but Lamb could never win a democrat primary....and you know it...

 

[JoeB131]

Nope you can hope all you want but Lamb could never win a democrat primary....and you know it...

Except he won one , just fine...

Oh, never mind.

 

[Rambunctious]

Except he won one , just fine...

Oh, never mind.

No he didn't that's the point...there was no primary in this special election....a primary would have produced a much more liberal candidate that would have lost to the republican...

 

[JoeB131]

No he didn't that's the point...there was no primary in this special election....a primary would have produced a much more liberal candidate that would have lost to the republican...

Um, okay, whatever...

 

[Trump The Mad King]

Except he won one , just fine...

Oh, never mind.

No he didn't that's the point...there was no primary in this special election....a primary would have produced a much more liberal candidate that would have lost to the republican...

Still making retarded excuses....even though Repugs gerrymandered this district to make it Democrat-proof. Priceless.

 

[Trump The Mad King]

Oh, he fixed it alright. Had coverage my entire life until that commie got into office. If that's what you call fixing things, I sure would hate to see what you consider breaking things.

Guy, your boss cheated you, not Obama.

You could have probably gotten a pretty good plan through the ACA, one that actually covered things. But I think you have some kind of brain disease about taking anything from the government.

No, it's just that commie care is unaffordable. I can't afford $1,000 a month for bare minimum coverage. That's a house payment; two house payments if they are small houses.

Hey dishonest Repug troll, you never answered my questions. Let's try again....

So if ObamaCare is "Commie Care", then why does the PRIVATE health care industry want it to exist???

Why do you whine about "Commie Care", when you admire a Communist like Putin?? The irony obviously escapes your idiot, unsophisticated Repug ass.

Ray's problem is that he's a battered housewife Republican. He'll keep voting for the GOP when the banks are foreclosing on his double wide.

 

[Rambunctious]

Still making retarded excuses....even though Repugs gerrymandered this district to make it Democrat-proof. Priceless

The Dems ran a conservative democrat in an uncontested no primary election......Lamb would not have survived a democrat primary...no way no how you libs are too far gone. You libs would have sent him home and went for the loony lib that was sure to challenge him in a primary....which is probably what will happen in 6 months when the election with a primary is held again....

 

[Trump The Mad King]

Yeah, Obama only saved the economy from total collapse after your hero Bush fucked it up. That's all Obama did.

The recession ended by June 2009.

What did he do so quickly to stop total collapse?

So you're saying the stimulus had absolutely no positive effect on the country's economic recovery? Are you really that stupid?

Since you believe millions of illegals voted without a shred of evidence, I guess you are that stupid.

So you're saying the stimulus had absolutely no positive effect on the country's economic recovery?

Sure, government spending stimulates the economy. But the recession already ended by June 2009.
Do you think the extra spending he pushed through between January 20 and June was the difference between "total collapse" and the economy coming out of recession so quickly?
Are you really that stupid?

The recession officially ended in June 2009, but everyone knows that the economy did not fully recover until much, much later. Obama's stimulus package absolutely helped the economy recover much more quickly and it prevented a second Great Depression. We were losing 700,000 jobs per month in Jan 2009 when Obama took office.

If it wasn't for immediate passage of the stimulus bill after Obama took office, then the recession absolutely would not have ended in June 2009. Even if the effects of the stimulus weren't felt immediately, the renewed optimism resulting from the bill prevented a continued free fall of the stock market and slowed down the hemorrhaging job losses.

The recession officially ended in June 2009, but everyone knows that the economy did not fully recover until much, much later.

Of course it took much, much longer to fully recover.

Obama's stimulus package absolutely helped the economy recover much more quickly and it prevented a second Great Depression.

That's funny. After the recession was over, why would it drop into a second Great Depression?
Even with all of Obama's fuck ups and regulatory overreach, the Fed wasn't going to let Obama's slowest recovery since WWII turn into a deflationary depression.

If it wasn't for immediate passage of the stimulus bill after Obama took office, then the recession absolutely would not have ended in June 2009.

Baloney. There was barely any "stimulus" spending by June.

the renewed optimism resulting from the bill prevented a continued free fall of the stock market

You think the optimism of the government union employees bailed out by this "stimulus" bill really boosted the stock market? By the way, the stock market bottomed out in March, again, before any of the spending could really take place. Details, I know, you're not too good at them.

All this dishonest, bullshit blaming of Obama....when you won't even acknowledge that Bush fucked-up the economy in the first place. Priceless.

The 2009 stimulus bill absolutely saved the economy from becoming worse. Even conservative economists acknowledge this basic fact. You LOSE, goober --

What Debate? Economists Agree the Stimulus Lifted the Economy

The Initiative on Global Markets at the University of Chicago — hardly a hotbed of liberal or Keynesian thought — regularly surveys a number of the leading American economists about a variety of policy issues. The economists surveyed constitute a good sample of the leading economists in the nation, and the panel was chosen to be geographically diverse, to include older and younger economists, and importantly, to include Democrats, Republicans and independents. The most important qualification is that these are top-notch economists: senior faculty at the leading economics departments in the United States who are also vitally interested in public policy.

Recently each of these eminent economists was asked whether the unemployment rate was lower at the end of 2010 than it would have been without the stimulus bill. Of the 44 economists surveyed, 37 responded, yielding a healthy response rate of 84 percent.

Among those who responded, 36 agreed that the stimulus bill had lowered the unemployment rate, while one disagreed. That lone disagreeing economist, Harvard’s Alberto Alesina (who was one of my thesis advisers), has been a virulent opponent of the stimulus, although the research that he’s based this upon has come under sustained criticism, particularly from the International Monetary Fund, which views the study as flawed.

Doesn't matter, goober. Lamb still won in a district that Repugs cheated in, to try to make it impossible for Democrats to win. You don't want to acknowledge that basic fact, so you focus on dishonest, irrelevant bullshit instead.

We could hire a million grads with ethnic studies degrees, pay them each $100,000 a year, give them each a tablespoon and have them work building new infrastructure. Would their $100 billion in salary expense be a good use of our tax dollars?

It would reduce unemployment. Does that make it a useful investment?

No, it's just that commie care is unaffordable. I can't afford $1,000 a month for bare minimum coverage. That's a house payment; two house payments if they are small houses.

Hey dishonest Repug troll, you never answered my questions. Let's try again....

So if ObamaCare is "Commie Care", then why does the PRIVATE health care industry want it to exist???

Why do you whine about "Commie Care", when you admire a Communist like Putin?? The irony obviously escapes your idiot, unsophisticated Repug ass.

You know, you're worse than Joe. What is it with you leftists where I answer your question, and you keep on asking it 50 times afterwards?

Still no answer, dullard. Your shit is weak. I would have much more respect for you if you simply admitted that your are a Repug hypocrite that is full of shit.

Talking with you and Joe is like having a discussion with the mentally retarded. You ask a question, I answer it, and you keep asking the same question over and over again.

If you really want an answer to your question, scroll up and find where I answered it. Asking me to repeat myself over and over again because you don't have any comprehension skills is a waste of my time.

Sorry, goober. I missed your answer. Please answer again...

[Trump The Mad King]

All this dishonest, bullshit blaming of Obama....when you won't even acknowledge that Bush fucked-up the economy in the first place. Priceless.

The 2009 stimulus bill absolutely saved the economy from becoming worse. Even conservative economists acknowledge this basic fact. You LOSE, goober --

What Debate? Economists Agree the Stimulus Lifted the Economy

The Initiative on Global Markets at the University of Chicago — hardly a hotbed of liberal or Keynesian thought — regularly surveys a number of the leading American economists about a variety of policy issues. The economists surveyed constitute a good sample of the leading economists in the nation, and the panel was chosen to be geographically diverse, to include older and younger economists, and importantly, to include Democrats, Republicans and independents. The most important qualification is that these are top-notch economists: senior faculty at the leading economics departments in the United States who are also vitally interested in public policy.

Recently each of these eminent economists was asked whether the unemployment rate was lower at the end of 2010 than it would have been without the stimulus bill. Of the 44 economists surveyed, 37 responded, yielding a healthy response rate of 84 percent.

Among those who responded, 36 agreed that the stimulus bill had lowered the unemployment rate, while one disagreed. That lone disagreeing economist, Harvard’s Alberto Alesina (who was one of my thesis advisers), has been a virulent opponent of the stimulus, although the research that he’s based this upon has come under sustained criticism, particularly from the International Monetary Fund, which views the study as flawed.

Sure, government deficit spending boosts the economy.
So what did we get for Obama's $9.3 trillion in added debt?
Oh, yeah, the weakest recovery since WWII. Great job, morons.

Sorry, dude. I'm going to believe the 98% of economists who agree with me (which includes conservative economists). Not your unsophisticated dishonest Repug goober ass.

I'm going to believe the 98% of economists who agree with me

Economists who agree that government spending boosts GDP? Well, duh. Did you think I disagreed? Idjit.
Now the question is, did you get anything useful from the government spending?

I guess you struggle with reading comprehension. Let's try again:

Lowering the unemployment rate is not "useful"??

And trust me....your Repug butt buddy Ray from Cleveland would not agree that government spending boosts GDP. Government doesn't do anything useful according to idiots like him, unless it's destroying itself.

You need to renounce these Repug dullards, you're smarter than they are (a little anyway). Too bad you still struggle with intellectual honesty.

Lowering the unemployment rate is not "useful"??

We could hire a million grads with ethnic studies degrees, pay them each $100,000 a year, give them each a tablespoon and have them work building new infrastructure. Would their $100 billion in salary expense be a good use of our tax dollars?

It would reduce unemployment. Does that make it a useful investment?

Dude, you're desperate. Stop humiliating yourself.
