I am going to say something scathing about people who disagree with me and then follow it up with a .jpeg that adds nothing of value to my statement.

What are you referring to, sock puppet?

I am referring to half the comments on both this blog and SodaHead in general, wherein someone re-iterates some point that's been said a million times in a million better ways, and then posts a picture that doesn't actually add anything to their statement.

For instance, the top comment on this blog.

Eh, it was like 3 am and seemed kind of funny at the time.

I was watching BBC the other morning and they interviewed this man who was very angry at Obama and he had been a supporter. He was ready to divorce his wife because she supports Berry. I always thought that nothing good would come from the election of 2008. I felt that we needed someone with experience and had served in the military. I am very afraid of what the back lash of the Obama administration will be. Welcome to the twilight zone.

His days are numbered.

Anything to give barky a bad night.

YEAH! WHOPEE! ALL-RIGHT! RIGHT-ON! WAY-TO-GO! HIGH FIVE! I'm thrilled, can you tell?

The Virginia win has some real relevance, but not New Jersey; Corzine is a jerk that broke his own state laws. I'm surprised it was actually that close. Democratic voter turnout was minuscule.

NY 23 is a bad sign for the GOP. There's no doubt the bloom is off the rose for Obama, but it may not matter if the GOP doesn't pull itself together. This may be the start of a real opening for a 3rd party.

I understand what you're saying, but I would argue that the Jersey election was quite relevant to the poor citizens of New Jersey themselves.

Agreed. I was referring to the 'national scene' for the GOP.

It is the opening for a third party. So long as we continue to have a one party system (Democrats and Republicans), a third party is very possible.

There has to be a 2nd one, first.
This had better be a wake-up call for the FGOP. Better still, let the sell-outs sleep.

President Obama campaigned for Corzine in New Jersey (5 appearances). Corzine lost big. The president went to Copehagen to stump for the Chicago Olympics and lost to Rio. Obama seems to be a loser! If you want to win, don't invite the president.

Just a little sample of what is to come next fall........

Poor analysis. You'd think the Telegraph could afford someone better.

The significant thing about these two races was the fact that the Democratic base did not turn out at the polls the way that the Republican base did. Both of the Democrats were very lukewarm in their support of Liberal/Progressive issues. The key to winning most political races is to get both the middle/independents and to mobilize the base.

If you look at the exit poll info, the people who voted Republican because they had a negative impression about Pres Obama were overwhelmingly Republican. For example, balanced percentages of voters in NJ voted becuase of their impression of President Obama (18% positive voted Dem and 18% negative voted Rep). There simply is no evidence whatsoever to interpret these elections as a trend or meaningful for either party.

However, it's fun to look for meaning and play with the numbers.

And you're a rather poor attempt to sneak a sockpuppet into a real discussion among actual people.

Take off your mask and post under your real identity, please.

You can get used to it and watch out for them Dan. I forget what Department in Washington they fall under, but they have bloggers who weasel their way into all these social site putting in their pitch for the administration. That was in the news not long ago.

Yep.

"Oh someone isn't patting my back and agreeing with me, must be a sock-puppet."

Who are you quoting, sock puppet? Not me. But cute attempt to insult me.

It's a little bit more complicated to figure out who the sock puppets are. Contrary to your insult, I don't just call anyone who disagrees with me a sock puppet.

But since not all sock puppets openly identify themselves as a sock puppet (as you choose to do), if you take a look at the person's profile you can usually determine whether someone is a sock puppet fairly easily from their SodaHead stats and creation date.
