Sep 4, 2015 - A majority of Californians are opposed to sanctuary city policies

Kasich had no chance anyway.

Which doesn't undermine the truth of his statement.

No progressive can be trusted, best ignored.

Apr 4, 2008 - Americans are more dissatisfied with the country's direction than at any time since the the early 1990s. ... 81% in Poll Say Nation Is Headed on Wrong Track ... Obama's Support Softens in Poll, Suggesting a Peak Has Passed (April 4, 2008). Poll: Americans Have Bleak View of Job Market (April 3, 2008).

Interesting about WHEN Americans became dissatisfied......RIGHT AFTER THE POLICIES INITIATED BY RONNIE WHO BROUGHT ABOUT THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS THROUGH HIS POLICIES OF TRICKLE DOWN STUPIDITY.

what year is it leftard?

what century??

libs are losers who lie to themselves

spamming the board is pathetic

everything you post can be rebutted one by one. poor desperate loser! lol

He says before spamming the board with misleading articles.

You have to be one hell of a conservative to believe that a poll of ONLY oil industry scientists are a representative sample of all climate scientists.

you have to be one hell of a self-deluding moron to think climate scientists cant have an agenda unless they work for an oil company

I simply acknowledge the evidence. You refuse to even discuss it. Your baseline is desperate, willful ignorance.

While I can back what I say:

Alas, the world doesn't disappear just because you close your eyes. With 79% of the public on one side of this issue. And your ilk on the other.

 

[Rustic]

The current GOP is so damn depraved, that even when you somewhat praise one of their own, they want to gang up and call him/her a RINO.

A Rino can't hide, yella shows up too well.
They will be poached

have you ever thought, with all these supposed rinos elected, that the problem is with you and not them? that maybe they are representative of their constituents and you are the outlier?

Given that Tea Party support is now at a record low.....and 'RINOs" as the fringe right defines them make up the overwhelming majority of republicans in Congress......

.......the evidence strongly suggests that the Tea Party is the outliner.

Congress has been full of progressives for decades, always a majority.

Well, since those you refer to as rinos are in the majority in the Republican Party, wouldn't that mean that they are the real republicans and you are the republican in name only? You clearly don't agree with the majority view among republicans. Maybe you should firm a new party where folks like you can be the majority.

So, the majority of voters are progressive, then?

With an overwhelming majority supporting a minimum wage hike. Hell, even a majority of republicans support it. But the Fringe Right opposes it.

A bad idea favored by most Americans. Why, again, should folks who think like you, a clear minority, get to decide anything?

With Tea Party support at a new low. The lowest ever recorded:

Peer-Reviewed Survey Finds Majority Of Scientists Skeptical

Feb 13, 2013 - It is becoming clear that not only do many scientists dispute the asserted global warming crisis, but these skeptical scientists may indeed form a scientific consensus. ... Only 36 percent of geoscientists and engineers believe that humans are creating a global warming crisis

With your study's introduction opening with this statement:

With all of the hysteria, all of the fear, all of the phony science, could it be that man-made global warming is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people? (Inhofe, 2003)

With the study being a poll of very, very specific individuals:

To address this, we reconstruct the frames of one group of experts who have not received much attention in previous research and yet play a central role in understanding industry responses – professional experts in petroleum and related industries.

They only cited those who worked in the oil or related industries. The study was to determine how those scientists who work in the oil industry justify their opposition to global warming.

Not only are we interested in the positions [professional experts in petroleum and related industries] take towards climate change and in the recommendations for policy development and organizational decision-making that they derive from their framings, but also in how they construct and attempt to safeguard their expert status against others. To gain an understanding of the competing expert claims and to link them to issues of professional resistance and defensive institutional work, we combine insights from various disciplines and approaches: framing, professions literature, and institutional theory.

The authors of the study were very, very clear that they weren't polling scientists in general and was not a representative sample of the views of scientists on the issue. Nor did they ever claim it was:

First and foremost, our study is not a representative survey. Although our data set is large and diverse enough for our research questions, it cannot be used for generalizations such as “respondents believe …” or “scientists don’t believe …” Our research reconstructs the frames the members of a professional association hold about the issue and the argumentative patterns and legitimation strategies these professionals use when articulating their assumptions. Our research does not investigate the distribution of these frames and, thus, does not allow for any conclusions in this direction. We do point this out several times in the paper, and it is important to highlight it again.

And finally, even the characterization of their study for the narrow sample they did examine was incorrectly protrayed by Forbes:

In addition, even within the confines of our non-representative data set, the interpretation that a majority of the respondents believe that nature is the primary cause of global warming is simply not correct. To the contrary: the majority believes that humans do have their hands in climate change, even if many of them believe that humans are not the only cause.

When you sample a representative survey of climate scientists in general, the consensus is overwhelming:

Examining the Scientific Consensus on Climate Change - Doran - 2009 - Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union - Wiley Online Library

Between 90% to 97% back human caused climate change.

Man made global warming = pseudoscience

So you are in the party that has never won a single election? If you are not a republican, why do use the term rino? They are republicans but you support libertarians, an insignificant collection of losers.

With overwhelming support for immigration reform even among repubicans. With a full 4 out of 5 supporting step by step immigration reform.

The survey found that nearly 4 in 5 GOP primary voters (78 percent) support a step-by-step approach to immigration reform that emphasizes several key elements, including: border enforcement, E-verify, and earned legal status with significant conditions including paying a fine and back taxes, learning English and proof of employment.

With the poll released by a republican organization, lead by John McCain's former economic advisor.

But of course, it will be ignored too by the Fringe Right.
