Poor, poor Tammy. Lost in her own dream world...

4:55pm 8/17/2012- I'm officially calling this race for Thompson. Mark it down as the official time of the end of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin.

Don't get all jiggly. It's Rassmussan,

I hope voters remember the recall effort, capital chaos Joann Kloppenberg, and all the other silly things Tammy stands by.

This shouldn't be a suprise. Democrats blaming the messenger. Thompson is obviously the better choice, given he was already Governor for almost forever. Thinking he can handle the Senate gig, and certainly brings instant gravitas to it. But we are accepting the whining in good fun.

Forget the ads that will try to paint Baldwin as a centrist. All we have to do is look at her RECORD. She is a far-left EXTREMIST!! She is further left than Nancy Pelosi. Baldwin has more in common with Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro then she does with the people of WI. Afterall, it's her record. Remember this in November.

According to Nate Silver of the NYTimes, Rasmussen is a highly flawed and biased source: http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/11/04/rasmussen-polls-were-biased-and-inaccurate-quinnipiac-surveyusa-performed-strongly/

Baldwin's campaign fired back, saying the Rasmussen Reports is hardly a credible source for accurate polling information:
Statement is correct. Rasmussen is constantly in right field falling asleep. Observe example; Fox Network Poll of active voters discovered that Romney gets 40% of the vote as Obama gets 49% of the vote. Note active voters to this likely to vote nonsense. Back to “People say” “I heard said” kinda of polling. The other polling’s showed 2 to 3 point lead to Obama. Rasmussen again all alone in right field with the only positive poll for Romney. Gee wonder who signs their checks.
This will be interesting its what got my attention. Strong tea flavored republican arena with a strong candidate versus the meek democrat candidate.
Reminds me of when Hockl [Dem] ran for a seat on the senate that has been in republicans hands for a couple of decades. Opponent spent $3 mill. To her less than a Mill. She won the New York seat!
Yup this will be interesting. He is for Wall Street and she is for our Main Street USA. Lets see what happens…

@Lyle Ruble commented on New Rasmussen Poll Puts Thompson Ahead of Baldwin, which you are following.
"@Pulled your string Keith Best...So this is the Party line, accuse Baldwin of being an extreme socialist or Marxist. Even a centrist appears far left when you're so far to the right."

It befuddles me how they use Karl Marx as an accusations of sorts. Illuminates their lack of knowledge of Karl. Like oil and water. No matter how much they shake it. They are not compatible to the politics at hand. Speculate, it is equal to, a Fox off in the distance, yelping.
As for Socialism; Egad who should be the one to tell them they are socialist!
All sovereignties embrace socialism. Some more than others. Here from your Local dog catcher to the Military and most of everything in between is run on Socialism.
Russia/China rattles around an empty skull and blinds them to their true nature of social beings. Without which they would not have survived to this point. Nourished in the security of their social communities and social families. They do befuddle me.

Your stat of per capita trained physicians will be only getting worse if Obama care stays in place. How many retirement age Drs do you think will stay working for 1/2 pay? Same goes for Hospitals. Then mix in several million illegal immigrants to the pool. Wait till the unions figure out they were just being used and have to go see the Dr like all of the welfare pukes. Wow , there will be some crying and whining then. Just wait till you have to go to your 1st End of life planning session, the dark joke will surely be on you then !

Wow , I think I deserve some kind of medal. Bren AND Lyle both had meaningful non politically charged posts. I like this agreeing thing that just happened. Bren you made more sense in your last post that I have ever read. Im 100% positive that when actual facts about what is really in the parts of Obama care that have been written come out that will end.
I'd love to hear Tammy's position on the Iron Mine. I know she has almost nothing to do with it, but hearing her detailed reasons why she doesnt want the mine is definitely something she should have an explanation in detail. Then explain why the boat engine in her comercial should be made out of iron from some other state.
I actually like hearing Tammy talk , she seems to be a pleasant person. Hearing and seeing Kloppenberg talk was like watching some B grade scifi horror movie called Attack of the Shrieking Harpy. Thats a scare tactic. Anyone that thinks dumping millions of Illegals into Obama care isnt going to make problems worse hasnt ever spent 1 day in reality. She is running for an office to work for us! Not to save the world!

@ Bren also commented on New Rasmussen Poll Puts Thompson Ahead of Baldwin.
"Robert, think about overhead expenses and how they fuel retail medical costs. Then think about the fact that most mid- and large-size clinics have at least one full-time person whose sole job is to argue with insurance companies and trying to get uncovered expenses paid by patients. I think in the 21st Century, most doctors would throw a party if asked if they would rather spend more time with patients and get paid a known rate in a timely manner. Under a national health care system doctors could still operate a private practice at the prices they wish to charge, just not use the NHS facilities."

Bren excellent point. Another Tid Bit to add. With Obamacare we can now move ahead and incorporate a digital Health Care. Immediate knowledge of a patients health records. Unconscious or not. Preventing flawed diagnosis’s. It would also flag any corruptions that might come about. Example: Prescriptions that are being abused. Legations savings in that alone would net a savings of $Billions. Reduction of administrations brick and mortar dependence. On and On savings to cost of health care. Consider Mass with Romneycare is the lowest increase to cost to health care in the nation, after just 5 years. Mass at 6% National average at 7% and that is without the interlinking of a digital service.
This digital service has aleready been started. Obamacare is the way to go for all concerned.

["AWD, Baldwin isn't running on the gay platform. What's the big deal of who marries whom?" ]

Marriage is between the adults. It is their decision no one else. “IF” the state is to remain in the marriage business then they have no voice in the decisions of the couple. “IF” this or that church has reservations it is their freedom to marry or not. Church policies are not to be in the states. Another way around it, is the couple can get a business contract worded to their desires and eliminate church and state marriage laws.

Judeo-Christian way of life. Sadly until we have a federal constitutional amendment, the effort to sully marriage will march forward with the help of radical homosexual activists like Tammy Baldwin. She MUST be defeated."

Try to stay on subject. There are no issues pending at this time on marriage. It may come up. At which point we can observe your bias on the subject. Whether relevant or not according to some other reader. Since you put it there; Disagree with your limited zealot ideology.

Keeping Churches out of the government, insures their freedoms of religion through the constitution as is. Other wise our laws would be subject to this religion or that religion. That has been demonstrated as a failure through out history. Gods are not politicians.

Rasmussen has a horrible reputation for lack of credibility. Or that means it's TT's race to lose now.

Sure is scary stuff there. Don’t buy it. As to doctors qualities degrading under Obamacare is nonsense. What will develop; doctors will begin to take retainers fee’s. Providing VIP treatment according to the doctor’s abilities and the desire of those willing to pay a retainer fee. Reducing the burdens on the doctor and promoting the home call service that they used to do. This will attract more people to the field, demanding quality of service. Some doctors will hybrid between the VIP and the non VIP patients. In the end services for health quality service increases.
As for the rest “Don’t Worry Be Happy” for they are the shadows of the past system of a Health Care that we had. Same one republicans want us to go back to.
Take care....

You use this deflecting, deflection scenario often. Is that what you do? Socialized medicine will be found in all of the western civilized world and some are developing in the developing nations as well. Some more efficient than others. Bottom line, it requires a socialist commitment for their survival. Do you have a better plan? Just lashing out at this or that is your deflection of the reality that surrounds you. No plan, than educate yourself, to what exist at present and if you can make it better let someone know. Until then we will just have to use what is at hand. ….Take Care

@ Robert
"The infant mortality rate is so high in the US because attempts to deliver and save babies accurate as Mein Kampf and leads people down the same trail."

Well, well Roberts knows the reason we have such a high infant mortality. Because of efforts to save premature babies. Interesting I wonder if the doctors ever thought about that when they tabulated their counts for failures‘. Perhaps they had a list for this or that type of infant. Yeah I think they would have. Alas it does not help when we see our mortality rate is greater than the other western civilized nations that have Health Care. Darn socialized health care is making the rest of the world more healthy than our USA. Socialized Health Care has some, amongst us, visualizing the orthodox Russia and China and Fascist regimes rattling about their brains. LOL denying the answer to a system that could prolong their lives in greater quality, just for a bigoted prejudice of ignorance. Loss of our lives due to uneducated voters that has regressed our nation, to one of the lowest in the western civilized world, Lack of Health Care for our citizens in a Harvard study [2009] pegged the loss of life at 45,000 per year. When a simple check up would have saved them a tid bit of medicine at the right time. Every year! Every year so that Roberts and those like him, can savor their frustratede futility with absolutes of Mein Kampf, KarlMarx, commie, Lenin and stuff like that. Juveniles seek our demise.

Wow, does this comment string cover topics, yeesh. But, not too much on the stats of this poll or the MU poll done just prior to the primary.

According to a link posted here(see above) through one 'EILENE STEVENS' , the Rasmussen folks run bias 'right', and their results are +/- 6 %;the 'best' pollsters runs an actual MoE of 3.3% The calculated/expected MoE on the Thompson v Baldwin poll is 4.5%.

If we use the historical reported MoE(as indicated in the article linked by 'EILENE STEVENS'), and subtract it from the TT 11 point margin reported in this recent TT v TB poll, then TT beats TB by a +5 point margin.

The MU poll, done prior to the primary, indicated 48% TT to 43% TB or a +5 point margin favoring TT. Remember, the MU poll recently predicted the Walker recall vote percentages accurately,although they have had known 'right' bias in the past. The MU and Rasmussen polls show the same margin for TT, if one corrects for the known(reported) long term 'right bias' of Rasmussen.

As polls go, these two examples appear to give relativity constant results. Anyone aware of any polls that have Baldwin in the lead outside the margin of error (MoE)?

Do really want a senator who has skimmed more than two (2) million from Medicaid?
Records show that in 2007 – just before the largest economic recession since the Great Depression; Akin Gump began representing Bain Capital in lobbying for favorable securities and investment policy/legislation. Thompson and partners were paid $500,000 by Bain in 2007. In 2008, Akin Gump was paid $480,000 by Bain for financial lobbying efforts. The economy has crashed and jobs have been outsourced through the actions of firms like Bain; Thompson and his partners continue to reap the benefits.

@ GearHead
"@Lyle: Doctors are already refusing.

Your comment is false. Obamacare creates a wider base of the insured. Greater the base less cost to premiums. Greater the preventive primary care will reduce Health Care loss. Simply put “Stitch in time saves nine”. …..The $ 716 Billion out of Medicare is by cutting the cost to medications.[ negations] it’s a savings as defined by the Congressional Budget Office {CBO}. Does not effect granny except for less cost to prescriptions.
Death panels was first coined for the panels that insurance companies had, to decided which medical procedure was less costly and which patients were expendable. {HMO’s} one example.
Nations that have incorporated Health Care have a greater quality of life and mortality rates lower per capita to USA. A local example of the cost effectiveness of a Health Care system here in the USA can be found in Mass. Their Health Care rose 6% after just 5 years of its introduction, versus the national average is at 7%. That is with limited base to one state. That 1% alone, accounts for savings in the Multibillions.
What sucks is republicans want to continue the failed systems of monopolized self governing health insurances. That they were the reason our ER’s were turned into primary care facilities and decreasing the base of paid insured. Raising the premiums to pay for the ER’s cost for primary use by uninsured.

.They should stick to what they are good at and that is not in govt. The Federal govt should do what its constitutionally allowed and that is not health care. Everyone seems to massage the part where it says "provide for the common defense" and "promote the general welfare",

Almost forgot this statement you made. In areas that government have difficulty is when they address matters of virtues and or morality. That is to be expected. This democracy has within its boundaries various theological polices. At times they compliment each other and grounds for agreement may come to be realized. Other times theological polices of the various religions’ are not in agreement. Polarizing forces to an issue. Then the difficulties arise as to how to address the issue.
On the matter of Health Care we can address the solution through economics. More stable grounds to arrive to a decisive equation for a solution. Obama observing our decline in Health, as to our competitors’, with Health Nationalized Care , that were surpassing us. Remaining competitive, on the Liberal International Free Trade Markets we will need to reform our status quo on Health Care. ….. Page 1.......... continued…

So much compressed in your comment. Just caught this one. One reason they massage “ provide for the common defense” and “ promote the general welfare” has been implemented into our constitution from some political theorist. From Jeremy Bentham [1784-1832] on Utilitarian, John Locke [1632-1704] on the “two Treatises of Government” published 1690,Immanuel Kant [1724-1804] all along the way from several political theorist up to John Rawls that recently passed away in 2002. Some of our intellectual leaders observe where some these theorist over lapped in their theories and debated them as to which to incorporated. these two points you brought up, may have been debated as such; Common defense is required to promote security to the general welfare. Yes there are those that abuse the term defense, that get us tangled up in subversive actions and unjust-able wars.

"@Gearhead... I'm expecting, in the not to distant future, that I will pay about $1000/year for coneriege or membership style care from my primary physician. He will cut back on his patient load by charging a membership fee and then accept the usual and customary payments from my insurance. Thus,he will generate the revenue to cover his costs and I'll get an appointment(service) when I need it."

Hey Jay it has already started. Doctors are opening the door to retainer scenarios. From quality care, to the common foot solider, to the Platinum VIP services. This allows the doctor to select his patients and the amount. Reducing the stress on the doctor and the patients. Appointments would actually mean something again. However to get this up and running, a solid consumer base is required. Fortunately! Obamacare is going to provide them with all the consumers they can handle. Yup, future with Health is a future indeed !

@ Jay Sykes also commented on New Rasmussen Poll Puts

Jay understood just do not agree. Ask any business, as consumer base increases opportunities increase. Apply that to the increase of insured consumers that Obamcare will produce. That lowers premiums, increase of consumers here. We remove the uninsured from ER primary care services, that are not being paid. Hospitals ER’s can go back to what they were designed for. Primary care migrates to private doctors and clinics. Opportunity for doctors to offer retainers for their services. Pay no retainer you go to their waiting room. Pay a retainer ahead of the line. Similar to lawyers. Amusement parks offer VIP ahead of the line passes for a fee. Matri ta des tipping helps to get ahead of the line, toll passes for a fee, fast lanes offer use of them even if you have no passengers for a fee, stuff like that.
Doctors than can regulate their time in ratio to their clientele. Creating surplus of consumers. We have had a reduction in graduating doctors, stress factors were getting to high for swamped facilities, that were not producing a profit enough to compensate for work required. Doctors were leaving the field for private but lack of insured or poorly insured consumers made that difficult, if not impossible. Obamacare comes along and breaks the cycle of a dissipating consumer base. Whole new ball game for the medical fields. Which will require more doctors. Their quality will determine their clientele.

I dont need an Ivy league stamp of approval to know what the meaning of the word is "is". Life isnt that complicated till a bunch of lawyers make it that way."

Dear Robert; Your reading of the bill of rights is good. However that will not answerer your question as to how we get to Health Care laws being passed as well as other laws that have been modified from the original Articles of the constitution.
As you may have noticed this constitution is not religious theological text. It is more akin to the give and take on various political theorist. It incorporates elasticity to allow it to grow and to be modified.
What you are looking for is Article V of the original constitution. Then you can examine the Amendments that resulted from Article V.
Example; Bill of Rights is a component derived at through debates to be incorporated into our laws but no necessarily into the structural frame work of the constitution. Although when ratified such components will reside within one of the Articles of the amendment Articles. Not a professional in any respect to the law. Just another guy just like you’ You to can read the constitution. Simply Google it.
Take Care..

"In the face of calls to release his tax returns, and after a testy and rattled exchange with the Wisconsin press corps on the first day of the general elction, Tommy Thompson is trying to distract voters by clinging to a widely discredited pollster who used to work for George W. Bush," said Tammy Baldwin

Why the hell do Democrats have such a fixation on Tax Returns? Most polticians are wealthy, what does it matter how much they paid in taxes. It is their policies not thier wallets that matter. Obummer is wealthy and even more so now that he is spending our money like water and saving his own.

Bernie replies;
Another republican following Romney’s lead of not showing their credentials’ for the job. He will be with all of the other sheep corralled in the GOP’s “Party First” USA second herd. Signing his pledge of allegiance to the host of the party. Constituents’ are but mere stepping stones to his greed for wealth. Plus job; just obey the dictates of the host and nay, nay, nay his no, no, no leadership. Take USA Hostage and Ransom USA for what the Host desires. Main Street to get the ransom note….http://OFA.BO/iG451c Mitts record for outsourcing
