There is plenty of data that gives credence to my statement about Obama being more socialist than anything even remotely close to republican.. I mentioned his upbringing and those around me being communist.
Those are facts... His mentor Frank Marshall Davis is a communist.
http://dailycaller.com/2012/07/15/obamas-influential-communist-mentor/
A new book due out Tuesday makes the case that Frank Marshall Davis, a card-carrying member of the Communist Party, mentored Barack Obama when he lived in Hawaii.
In researching “The Communist,” Kengor combed over Davis’ recently released FBI profile and his voluminous writings to show something many other authors and journalists have either ignored or failed to grasp: Davis was a communist who had an early hand in shaping the future president’s political beliefs.
Now look at this voting record

Obama's Overall Record:
In January 2008 the National Journal published its rankings of all U.S. senators -- based on how they had voted on a host of foreign and domestic policy bills -- and rated Barack Obama “the most liberal Senator of 2007.” “Obama’s [foreign policy] liberal score of 92 and conservative score of 7 indicate that he was more liberal in that issue area than 92 percent of the senators and more conservative than 7 percent,” the researchers explained. In the area of domestic policy voting, the study found that “Obama voted the liberal position on 65 of the 66 key votes on which he voted … [and] garnered perfect liberal scores in both the economic and social categories.”
The leftist organization Americans for Democratic Action (ADA) similarly rated Obama’s Senate voting record at 97.5 percent. By contrast, the American Conservative Union (the ADA’s ideological antithesis) gave Obama a rating of 8 percent.
After declaring his presidential candidacy in early 2007, Obama clearly became far more focused on campaigning for his White House run than on performing the legislative duties for which he had been elected to the U.S. Senate. From January 2007 through September 2008, he missed 303 votes (a total of 46 percent of all votes that came before the Senate.
Are you sure you know what the definition of communism is?
please...
Allow me to ask another question. And this is serious. Being that I am an independent, I would like to know how how the last 8 years has negatively impacted YOUR life. Don't speak in generalities. I would like to know specific policies that Obama has supported that has made your life worse today than it was from 2000-2008.
Oh come on.. I am not that into this to get that detailed. I can throw a couple things off the top of my head, which I already know you will wan to further debate.. and I just don't care to debate.. it doesn't matter. You won't change your mind, nor will I.
but off the top of my head.
The worst being Obamacare, then there are a number of economy crippling regulations, that further give the government control.
just a couple samples..
http://dailysignal.com/2015/05/13/excessive-regulation-hurts-americas-entrepreneurs/
The number and cost of government regulations continued to climb in 2014, intensifying Washington’s control over the economy and Americans’ lives. The addition of 27 new major rules pushed the tally for the Obama administration’s first six years to 184, with scores of other rules in the pipeline. The cost of just these 184 rules is estimated by regulators to be nearly $80 billion annually…
Many more regulations are on the way, with another 126 economically significant rules on the administration’s agenda, such as directives to farmers for growing and harvesting fruits and vegetables; strict limits on credit access for service members; and, yet another redesign of light bulbs.
Husker2000 - that last paragraph, are those your personal thoughts and text?
no.. check out the link, you will see.
Gotcha - thanks for the clarity.

I feel like if he were actually in his top two then he would have known that we were hosting Oregon this year
Yup - he was bored and looking for love.

Also Tamron Hall had an interesting interview with Baio (as did CNNs Dana Bash). What's sad is the focus from the RNC is on Melania's plagiarism, when there were so many other more offensive things that happened.

How in the hell did wifi get back on the board? Thought i recognized your posting style.In my family we'd potentially say he's "quick, not fast".

I have two kids and share serious concerns about their future, but it's based more on the fear and reprisal agenda the Trump forces are selling.
I love America. But I don't believe in the America they want to get back to, probably because it never existed.
So I'm gonna fight for my America, too.
I'd love to be more thrilled about Hillary, but I'm far less scared, because everything the Clintons have done is political calculation. I personally don't like poll-driven ideology and the pandering that comes with it, but the result is a pretty fair representation of what most Americans can live with. She's far more pro-business than she is socialist -- a stone cold fact -- and has long been considered a hawk within her own party. She was well respected and collaborated with by Republicans during her Senate career and has never taken an extreme position in her life. If she's the third term of Obama, as the RNC breathlessly warns, we could do a lot worse. If we wanted to "make America Great Again" we could aim for the 1990s of Bill Clinton's presidency and nobody would argue with the numbers. Liberals should be troubled and Conservatives relieved that Hillary Clinton is likely to follow the business-as-usual policies that have maintained order and protected the powerful, much like her predecessors from both parties. It won't work that way, of course.
Pretty amusing last night to watch the Republicans discuss the horrors of the past 8 years, without acknowledging that Republican obstructionism was directly responsible for much of it.
And God forbid it get out that Barack Obama was actually a terrorist ass-kicker.
Or that cop killings actually decreased during his administration.
Or that Mexican immigration actually decreased during his administration.
Or that Obamacare was originally drafted by Republicans as the alternative to socialized medicine, and endorsed by the private for-profit healthcare industry.
Or that Republicans blocked funding to both the VA and what would have been Benghazi security forces.
Just keep people angry and ill-informed.
That's what I want to save my children from.
Doing God's work, son.
I don't have kids, but I likely will in the not too distant future. Bnil brought up his and you yours. I've at times thought about the future of this country for me, my fellow Americans, and my kids and wife, someday.
I support Clinton because though she is not perfect, I know the absolute bare minimum I can expect from four to eight years of her as president is not screwing things up and handing a more or less status quo situation off to whoever is next.
I have no such guarantee with Trump. He appears vastly ill-equipped for the job to me, and his nativist, exclusionary, fear-mongering rhetoric terrifies me of his intentions. Remember, we don't know what those truly are, since he can't hold a consistent position for two seconds.
I'd like to see lots of liberal changes under Clinton. Lots of things need fixing. But more than anything, I support her because I'm looking to reject Trump in the strongest terms possible.
It's not OK to spit on people who don't look just like you or may not be as advantaged as you.
It's not OK to pop your mouth off any time anyone challenges you to try to one up them.
It's not OK to treat women like dirt.
It's not OK to demonize all brown people because of actions by the lesser angels among their countrymen that are out of their control.
It's not OK to peddle counter-intellectualism and prey on people's fears and anxieties.
It's not OK for the leader of the free world to offer up unfounded tabloid stories or internet rumors about his adversaries and pass the buck using "people are saying this" as plausible deniability.
It's not OK to ride racist undercurrents in our society for your own gain, trying to delegitimize the POTUS along the way.
And it's REALLY not f#cking OK to mock the disabled. That was my personal breaking point. F#ck that vile, low piece of sh#t. It still leaves me seething.
I don't find any of this strong, or cool, or funny, or patriotic. I think it's sick, repugnant, disgusting, and absolutely unAmerican. It's completely counter to what I hold American values to be. And I'm going to fight like hell to do what I can to send his ass packing in the fall.
It gives me hope that I read overwhelmingly more posts like yours and like Dudeguy's than I read positive posts about Trump. Well said both of you - can't "up vote" you enough.

Maybe instead of blaming Matt Drudge, Conservative America should look inside their hearts and figure out why they - not Fox, not Drudge - didn't stop him.
They can't. They must be told, instructed, guided, spoon fed, have it teed up, preached etc. to them.

It's interesting to see the NY Times with Hillary at 76%. FiveThirtyEight has shown a steady decline in the probability that Clinton would get elected, down to 64% this morning. Here's a chart with some of the major predictors:
Here's a brief discussion about the variance in some of these predictors.
The NYT article actually links to the info you shared above Knapp.

I'm waiting for David Duke to be the guest surprise speaker to introduce Donald on the last day of the convention. Cherry on top.
ooooo - or a Kardashian.

I can't believe I have yet to see the following in this thread:

Is Bo rocking a flip phone? That picture quality....
It's actually a high quality iPhone 6, but he'd just had a screaming rant at it because he couldn't figure out the zoom and there's a wee bit of spittle on the lens.

Visiting July 25-27
OV for the Oregon game
May also visit for the Fresno St. game.
Isn't THAT interesting. Me likey the sound of this.

I am now absolutely convinced this whole Trump for President thing was a ploy to alienate republican voters and to help Hillary get elected.
Sadly, this isn't even that far out of a theory.
But Trump has serious supporters, including on this board. That's how he captured the Republican nomination. I don't think it's a stretch to say he wants to be President, and that he had the savvy to know or the ego to think he could capture popular appeal.
Increasing I look at some of these people -- public figures or not -- and wonder if they're from the same planet I'm from. But they are. And that, strange as it is, is reality.
I think it's all one big Candid Camera show.

I hope something else happens at the RNC soon because I'm already bored with the speech thing. It was mildly amusing for two minutes, but I'm ready to move on.
Of all the problems this country has, a slightly cribbed speech by a nice lady is pretty low on the list.
I don't think you'll have to wait long for something else to happen Knapp ...

Here's the benediction prayer from yesterday. And a great example of what is wrong in America (and yes, both sides do it).
Hello, Republicans! Im Pastor Mark Burns form the great state of South Carolina! Im gonna pray and Im gonna give the benediction. And you know why? Because we are electing a man in Donald Trump who believes in the name of Jesus Christ. And Republicans, we got to be united, because our enemy is not other Republicans but is Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party.
Lets pray together. Father God, in the name of Jesus, Lord, were so thankful for the life of Donald Trump. Were thankful that you are guiding him, that you are giving him the words to unite this party, this country, that we together can defeat the liberal Democratic Party, to keep us divided and not united. Because we are the United States of America, and we are the conservative party under God.
To defeat every attack that comes against us, protect the life of Donald Trump. Give him the words, give him the peace, give him the power and authority to be the next president of the United States of America. In Jesus name if you believe it, shout Amen!
That's just creepy and completely unseemly.
"To keep us divided and not United"? I went back and listened to that 3 times. wtf.

I find the irony so incredible ... plagiarism isn't a "legal" issue, it's a moral one. And what did she do? Plagiarizes the sections of Michelles previous talk that speak to decency, morals and hard work.

Who made his initial top 80?
The real question is - who DIDN'T?

I think we get him and Calvin, and not Tyjon or Holmes. I think you have to put a lot of stock into how much time Gebbia spent w/him one on one during FNL, and also watching the videos - body language and buy in seemed very high. Honestly, I know everybody's high on TJ and DH, and I'd never turn down 5* talent, but give me hardworking, out to prove something 4*s any day of the week.
Hard working 4*s? Agreed, but Lewis is ranked higher than Tyjon and (ratings fluctuate) maybe higher than Darnay. Dude is a stud.
You're totally right - as I hit "Post" I thought it would have been better to post that re: Calvin, and that Lewis is just a a great surprise. To not be on his radar and then have him visit and like what he saw, to see Gebbia lock up with him and do some selling, I like that and how I saw him interacting with fans and taking it all in with Bookie. I think his visit made a great impression on him, and Coach Dub is the cherry on top.

I suppose this plagiarizing will be considered a bigger deal than Hilary and her emails. That's how this world works nowadays.
Waaaaaah.

According to 247 he only has 96..... haha what a loser
Shoulda held out on naming his top 10 till he got to 100.

Never thought I'd watch a Republican convention in my life. I also can't believe I am watching the dude from f'n Duck Dynasty speaking to the American people on behalf of a presidential candidate.
Speechless....
The question is ... did you dial in to watch it because of the Duck Dynasty guy and the other shall we say, "atypical" political supporters Trump is having on his newest reality show?

I couldn't honestly tell you, 2005-2006 is where my fandom started kicking into full gear.As Nebraska fans we haven't really had any experience first hand with a standard transition period. From Bob to TO it was fairly seamless and eventually paid off in the long run. TO to Frank was also seamless, but the results weren't as comfortable for the fans since the game had changed quite a bit since the last coach change.
Frank to Cally was our first taste of a real transition, problem was we hired a Pro coach instead of a Collegiate Coach. Cally to Bo was where we got a taste of how a transition "should" go. In reality, we got spoiled because of a handful of guys that shined in a system better suited for the Big 12.
Now, we are experiencing a transition how much of the rest of the country experiences them. It's not smooth and it can be quite infuriating. But we can't do anything about it. We just have to hope it ends soon and the direction we have been pointed was one without a ceiling that we became accustomed to.
Did we lose many recruits in the Osborne/Solich transition? How about the Solich/Callahan transition? (Honest questions--I don't remember.) I know we lost a bunch of recruits in the Callahan/Pelini transition. We didn't lose very many going from Pelini to Riley.
Interesting
Gee? Only a fan for about the past 10 years? I would say that is awfully young to offer to many comments on the program's historical basis or in comparing coaches and teams and etc from the past 40 years. Most of the discussions about how a coach or team is doing as compared with Pelini, Callahan, Solich, Os, etc are pretty hard to say much if you weren't around to experience them first hand. Just my opinion.
One doesn't have to have lived through something to have an opinion 84. Sounds like he has a pretty good idea of what happened, and he asked for clarity and perspective on some specifics he wasn't sure about. It was a solid, educated post that wasn't off base in any regard. Just in my opinion.

I do wonder how much he had to do with raising them ... I'd give more credit to his ex wives (for instance I know that youngest Tiffany saw him very rarely as they lived out west), and or he had some "terrific, amazing" nannies.
