Quote of the Day
"The confidential agreement with Riccio completed in September and recently exposed by The Star-Ledger of Newark should spur U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie to assign top staffers to uncover the whole story before Christie leaves office. Corzine's settlement is another attempt to sweep the problems from his overlapping personal and public life under the rug. Christie should pull the rug out, and soon." -- An Asbury Park Press editorial run in this morning's newspaper, apparently unaware that Christie's last day was Monday.

Dick Zimmer is a L-O-S-E-R and a D-E-M-A-G-O-G-U-E !!
Wally, thanks for adding this to the list of things the loser, liberal, lobbyist, demagogue can be identified as!
um...
which definition are we using?
demagogue: an orator who appeals to the passions and prejudices of his audience
Cristello by a landslide!-
That guy's nuts!
Bill Baroni is a loser and a loser
The Honorable Aaron Burr, Vice President of the United States
These two poll winners will duke it out in the fall!
Frank versus Murray it is!
Murray Sabrin is not a republican
Turns out that he left the GOP for the 2nd time back in 2005.

demagogue
is defind as "a political leader who gains power by appealing to people's emotions, instincts, and prejudices in a way that is considered manipulative and dangerous" How can that possibly be applied to FL-he has campaigned as a Democrat in every election, andeven in this election he is only pointing out Rob's shoty record as a Congressman and a Democrat. Conversly Murray's cinco de mayo comments, and campaign based on phobia might qualify him, except for the fact that he is more or less leading a few people. Andrews isnt a leader (he is on George Norcross's leash) Zimmer and Pennacchio hardly qualify. Since DC is a mayor you could sort of qualify him, but he doesnt amount to much either. Basically speaking here this a poll designed to bash Murray and Frank.
hrmmm
thanks SJ...never really thought of it in that much detail. It's very good to know all the ins and outs. It all makes the poll kind of deceiving in a way.
Seriously
Do readers know what demagogue means?
good question....
hey FA, the definition i have in all 3 of my dictionaries is pretty much the one second post down but it looks like theres more to it as SJ points out. My brain hurts as it is with finals coming up and this just makes it pound more.
Crisitello is the classic demagogue
he's a dressed up Archie Bunker -hey he's David Duke!
