Perhaps you can explain why conservative posters can reach the 6,000 to 10,000 posts and liberal posters are lucky to hit 100? Is this merely a coincidence here? I think not.

What about the libertarian ones?
 
Perry Takes Lead in Iowa

The race is pretty close four ways in Iowa but Rick Perry is the new favorite among Republican voters in the state. Among announced candidates he’s at 22% to 19% for Mitt Romney, 18% for Michele Bachmann, and 16% for Ron Paul. Further back are Herman Cain at 7%, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum at 5%, and Jon Huntsman at 3%.

If you throw Sarah Palin into the mix the numbers are pretty similar with Perry at 21%, Romney at 18%, Bachmann at 15%, Paul at 12%, and Palin registering at only 10%.

PPP says they have a national survey coming out tomorrow that shows Rick Perry with a double-digit lead over Romney for the Republican nomination. According to their Twitter feed:
11:34 (CT): Our national GOP poll, out tomorrow, is better for Perry even than the Iowa one. Double digit lead.
11:36: Nationally, if it came down to a 2 person race: Perry 52, Romney 36. Mitt needs to try to wrap it up before it gets to that point.
11:40: More evidence Bachmann has maxed out support- down 9 to Romney, 30 to Perry in national heads to heads

🤷
 
Since this is Perry’s “vetting period” this poll is one to review:
Gallup: Perry Rises in Recognition and Maintains Positive Image

PRINCETON, NJ – Texas Gov. Rick Perry is now recognized by 67% of Republicans and Republican leaners nationwide, an increase of 13 percentage points from two weeks ago. Still, six of the other nine candidates or potential candidates are better known than Perry, led by Sarah Palin (97%) and Rudy Giuliani (91%). Of the announced candidates, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, and Michele Bachmann are best known.

All of the candidates whose Positive Intensity Scores are in single digits – Ron Paul, Rick Santorum, Gingrich, and Jon Huntsman – have seen their scores decline over the course of the year. Paul’s and Santorum’s scores were at one time as high as 16, Huntsman’s as high as 15, and Gingrich’s as high as 19.

Tim Pawlenty experienced a similar decline in his Positive Intensity Scores, from a high of 17 in late March/early April to 7 at the time he exited the race last week.
Bachmann’s score has been below 20 in four of the past five weeks after being 20 or above for most of the period from February to June.

Among the other active candidates, Romney has seen his Positive Intensity Score fluctuate between 13 and 20 this year; it has been holding at 14 or 15 in each of the last four weeks. Cain is the only candidate who has seen and maintained a generally upward trend in positive intensity, with scores no lower than 22 since early May.

Maybe the conservative posters stick to the rules rather than make ad hominem attacks?

Yeah. I get my news online (WSJ, BBC, CNN, FoxNews and EWTN) and listen to Gallagher, Medved, Hewitt and Urbanski (not consistently…when I’m driving).

And who owns that? 🙂

Let’s face it. Objective news just doesn’t sell. Best to hear all sides, if you can afford them all.

True, but the WSJ is certainly several orders of magnitude better than Drudge or Breitbart, and such. Same goes for the NYT. At least it’s news, not like the Huffington Post.

You’re right, it is best to read all sides. But perhaps second best to not to bother to read the news at all.

How does that Simon & Garfunkel song go “I get all the news I need from the weather report…”

Sometimes one feels that way.

Me too. I used to not even need to watch the news, 'cause my family has ‘weatherscan,’ 24 hour weather channel, and it had nice soothing music playing too. And given that I work at a golf course, when I watch the weather reports to see if it’ll rain, I can pretend I’m working. 😉 “Gee, it’s gonna rain tonight, the course’ll be soggy tomorrow, I’ll have to take that into account at work” and that’s enough for me to call it a productive day. 😉

Liberals think this because so many posters repeat the exact same talking points that are statistically impossible to make up on one’s own.

So often I hear the word of the week. Last week it was the "sowing seeds"reference What are the odds of so many people using this phrase on the Sunday morning shows?

You, at least, express your personal opinion and i respect that. NPR is a somewhat balanced source for news.
I have not noticed that you make outragious comments that have no basis in reality.
