This is what the constant campaign of rightwing funded misinformation can do to the less educated part of a country.

It's the result of a PPP poll under Republican primary voters in Alabama and Mississippi.

In the latest poll sixty percent of Americans say that the war in Afghanistan was not worth fighting. Just one in third American thinks that the Afghans still support the American mission while a clear majority of Americans say they want to withdraw all troops immediately.

On its website, the Taleban promised revenge for the killing rampage of an American soldier that left sixteen Afghan civilians dead, putting Nato troops on high alert in Afghanistan.

Presidential contender Rick Santorum knows how to win the Republican nomination... everybody else has to get out. .

"I'd like everybody to get out," Santorum admitted. "That'd be great if they could just clear the field."

Another Republican candidate Newt Gingrich just would like frontrunner Mitt Romney to get out:

"The fact is that Romney is probably the weakest Republican frontrunner since Leonard Wood in 1920, and Wood ultimately lost on the 10th ballot."

The number of hate groups in the U.S. is continuing to grow till at least 1.018 at the moment. They are defined as organisations that exist because of their hatred for people with certain racial, religious, sexual or other characteristics.

De slechtste toeristen ter wereld zijn de Amerikanen... volgens Amerikanen. Nederlanders staan slechts dertiende, aldus een peiling van Living Social.

Daar klopt natuurlijk niets van, allemaal vooroordelen. Engelsen zijn veel erger want vaak heel erg dronken, Duitsers zeuren meer, Nederlanders zijn onbeschofter.
En waarom staan Japanners, ongeveer de beleefdste mensen ter wereld, zo hoog op de lijst? Hoger dan die schreeuwerige Koreanen zelfs. En waar zijn de Russen?

Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney wins at least five of Super Tuesday's ten primaries.

Mitt Romney wins Ohio, Virginia, Vermont, Massachussets and Idaho. Probably Alaska.
Rick Santorum wins Oklahoma, Tennessee and North Dakota.
Newt Gingrich takes his former home state of Georgia and Alaska.

Republican presidential contender Rick Santorum is still dropping like a stone in local and national polls. The more Republicans know about this radical christian the more they dislike him and the more they see he is absolutely unelectable.

Gallup Poll, national:       Romney 38, Santorum 22, Gingrich 15, Paul 12
NBC/WSJ Poll, national:  Romney 38, Santorum 32, Gingrich 13, Paul 13

And in the national elections Romney will lose to Obama, even in the rightwing poll by Rasmussen.

NBC/WSJ,Poll: Obama d. Romney (50-44); Obama d. Paul (50-42); Obama d. Santorum (53-39); Obama d. Gingrich (54-37)
Rasmussen Poll: Obama d. Romney (45-43); Obama d. Paul (43-41); Obama d. Santorum (46-42); Obama d. Gingrich (48-40)

A study on Global Warming presented in Nature Geoscience, “Anthropogenic and natural warming inferred from changes in Earth’s energy balance” has found that it's highly likely we are to blame:

Our results show that it is extremely likely that at least 74% of the observed warming since 1950 was caused by radiative forcings, and less than 26% by unforced internal variability. Of the forced signal during that particular period, 102% (90–116%) is due to anthropogenic and 1% (−10 to 13%) due to natural forcing...  
The combination of those results with attribution studies based on optimal fingerprinting, with independent constraints on the magnitude of climate feedbacks, with process understanding, as well as palaeoclimate evidence leads to an even higher confidence about human influence dominating the observed temperature increase since pre-industrial time.

So shortly: It's extremely likely that 74% of observed warming since 1950 is manmade. It’s highly likely all of It is man,made.

We noemen geen namen maar iemand heeft onderzocht welke rare namen er zijn in Nederland. Ach toch maar, het was Maarten van der Meer die in de wereld van de sexueel getinte vooornamen dook en met deze lijst boven kwam.
Hij haalde ze uit de Nederlandse voornamenbank.

Een aantal van deze namen zijn duidelijk door allochtonen gegeven in wiens oorspronkelijke taal ze niet dezelfde connotatie hebben als in Nederland. Zo is Porn een heel gebruikelijk deel van voornamen in Thailand.
En in China is Fuk heel gebruikelijk. Hoe zouden ze er anders 1,2 miljard bij elkaar hebben gekregen?

American political analists agree on what godfearing christian Rick Santorum would do in his first week of office if he were to become president of the United States.
By the way, Newt Gingrich would do the same, after skipping day one to five.

* On the first day Santorum will announce the War on Birth Control.
* On the second day he will announce the War on Sodomy.
* On the third day he will bomb Google. [search 'Santorum' on Google for explanation]
* On the fourth day he will declare the War On Heavy Metal.
* On the fifth day he will explain to the American people why God wants us to bomb Iran. Santorum will argue that if God didn't want us to bomb Iran, he would have given Iran nuclear weapons to defend themselves with.
* On the sixth day he will bomb Iran.
* On the seventh day he will rest.

Is this true. Did Google cave in to the demands of Republican presidential contender Rick Santorum? Afraid of being bombed into submission?

Google has changed its algorithm and the Spreading Santorum site is no longer on the first page of results, though the first result is a link to the Urban Dictionary definition of Santorum.

Not on my Google. Found today in a German hotel on Deutsches Eck in Koblenz. 

Look what happened with the barometer of the economy, the stockmarket, under this socialist president born in Kenia.

Yesterday the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed over the 13,000 points for the first time since May 2008 in the Bush years.

Wall Street is up over 56 pct since Barack Obama took office. 

This is how did the market did under the last three presidents.

Flipflopper in Chief Mitt Romney is the big winner of the primaries in Arizona and Michigan with 90 and 99 percent of the votes counted. Now the same thing happened with Rick Santorum that happened earlier with Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich. Republican primary voters found out how weird Santorum really is.

                       Michigan Arizona
 
Mitt Romney          41     47
Rick Santorum      38     27 
Ron Paul               12      8 
Newt Gingrich         7     16

Remember Barack Obama at this time of the year in 2008? He was campaigning for the Democrat nomination for the presidency.
He filled stadiums.

So following the example of Obama, popular Republican Mitt Romney, aiming for the GOP nomination for the presidency, hired the Ford stadium in his home state of Michigan for his big speech.

In fact let's have a look he's speaking there now.

A Republican senator said that if Romney doesn't win his home state of Michigan, the Republican party should look for a new candidate. 'We’d get killed, Romney would be too damaged', said the not named senator.

And Santorum? 'He’d lose us 35 states', the Republican said. He predicted the same with a primary win for Newt Gingrich.
And what Republican presidential candidate would he be looking for? ... Jeb Bush.

In all relevant national polls Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney is slipping farther behind Rick Santorum. The CNN debate last night in Arizona is not included in this numbers. In this debate Santorum's rambling answers were not very impressive to the neutral observer. But in the past that didn't seem to matter to the Republican primary voters. In Arizona though Romney is far ahead of Santorum.

NATIONAL (Associated Press/GfK): Santorum 33, Romney 32, Gingrich 15, Paul 15
NATIONAL (Gallup Tracking): Santorum 35, Romney 27, Gingrich 15, Paul 10
NATIONAL (Quinnipiac): Santorum 35, Romney 26, Gingrich 14, Paul 11

The approval rating of President Obama is up to 50 percent while 42 percent of Americans have a positive feeling about Mitt Romney.
Rick Santorum's approval rating is 33 pct. His sweater vest comes in at 17 pct.
Ice cream is ahead of all candidates at 97 pct.

Yes we can show Romney he sucks for another cool 57 million dollars.
By the way a lot of it is not his but his friends money.

The next states where Republicans will be voting in one week are Arizona and Michigan. Michigan is particularly important because it is the home state of Republican contender Mitt Romney. Now that Rick Santorum is the main opponent of Romney people have to pay attention to what comes out of his mouth.
This happened just this week. Santorum comparing Obama to Hitler. Santorum's spokesman talking about the radical Islamic policies of Obama.

In the polls Rick Santorum is doing almost as well as Romney:

ARIZONA (PPP): Romney 36, Santorum 33, Gingrich 16, Paul 9
MICHIGAN (PPP): Santorum 37, Romney 33, Paul 15, Gingrich 10
MICHIGAN (We Ask America): Romney 29, Santorum 29, Paul 12, Gingrich 10

Look at Texas though... wow. Luckily for Romney Texans won't vote till May 29.
University of Texas/Texas Tribune. 2/8-15.

This is what writer Tim Egan had to say  in the NYTimes about the electoral process in the United States. The Republican primary electorate looks more like the population that the U.S. in 1890 than in 2012  than in 2012:

"There is no other way to put this without resorting to demographic bluntness: the small fraction of Americans who are trying to pick the Republican nominee are old, white, uniformly Christian and unrepresentative of the nation at large."

The approval rating of President Obama is at the highest level since a year. More than half of the Americans now approve of what he's doing. 
Finally his well thought out strategy of not being any of the Republican candidates is paying off.
