 | | keypusher: <You are becoming immersed in the new socialism of uniformity, of centralized control, of the individual subservient--equivalent to the serf of Europe mentality.> Actually, PP, I don't recall expressing a view on whether LA's limited provision of public transport was good or bad. Obviously it presents drawbacks once population density reaches a high level, though, right? I spent a week driving around LA last summer and did not feel particularly free or individualistic. I don't think the millions of other drivers did either. |

Gingrich received 88,676 votes and won 12 delegates.
So both Santorum and Gingrich received more votes than Romney but won fewer delegates. Conclusion: The deck is stacked.>
Sort of like Gore clearly winning the popular vote but losing the election. That's the system. |

Los Angeles doesn't have a lot of population density compared to Moscow, London, etc.> Thanks, Bobby. Who would have ever thought to take population density into account when considering public transportation? Who ever suspected that LA was a large city? You must be a genius! But LA's population density, it turns out, is about the same as Oslo's. That's what brought me up short when I was writing about this earlier. |

 | | chancho: <benjinathan: I think Gingrich will stay in the race to ensure Romney's victory.> Considering how Gingrich calls Mitt a Massachusetts liberal and how he is the real conservative, it makes me wonder. |

"<Los Angeles is very large. New York and other places are small in comparison. The longest street in Los Angeles is Sepulveda Bl., which is 42,8 miles long. Los Angeles doesn't have a lot of population density compared to Moscow, London, etc.>
Thanks, Bobby. Who would have ever thought to take population density into account when considering public transportation? Who ever suspected that LA was a large city? You must be a genius! But LA's population density, it turns out, is about the same as Oslo's. That's what brought me up short when I was writing about this earlier." Yes I am. However as the group that made Dan Quayle vice president, George W. Bush president and claimed Sarah Palin was potty trained, the evidence that conservatives have any intelligence is minimal. |

| Mar-14-12 | | Bdellovibrio: "There's a certain advantage, I think right now, in having both of us tag-team Romney, because neither one of us by ourselves can raise the money to match Romney," Gingrich said in a radio interview on the nationally syndicated "Rick & Bubba Show." Together, he said, "we're really slowing him down, with some help, frankly, from Ron Paul." http://www.latimes.com/news/nationw... Teamwork. |
|
| Mar-14-12 | | Bdellovibrio: bee tea dubs, has anyone else noticed the strange new use of the word 'frankly' by the presidential candidates as a more intelligent sounding pacing word/filler? As in the Gingrich quote above. |

| Mar-14-12 | | Jim Bartle: Gingrich has always used "frankly" a lot. His short apology to Spanish speakers a while back even included the word "francamente." When comedians impersonate him, their first trick is usually to say "frankly" a lot. |

 | | HeMateMe: G. Gordon Liddy: "Chuck Colson would run over his Grandmother for Nixon." I know that's not relevant to the conversation here; it just came to mind. |
|
| Mar-14-12 | | RookFile: An off night for Romney, but he picks up the most delegates on the night. Not bad. |

I have made good judgements in the Past. I have made good judgements in the Future. Republicans understand the importance of bondage between a mother and child. The future will be better tomorrow.
We have a firm commitment to NATO, we are a *part* of NATO. We have a firm commitment to Europe. We are a *part* of Europe. Welcome to President Bush, Mrs. Bush, and my fellow astronauts. What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is. [It's] time for the human race to enter the solar system. I believe we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy - but that could change. I stand by all the misstatements that I've made. |

| Mar-14-12 | | timhortons: Former U.S. vp Dick Cheney deems Canada too dangerous for speaking visit http://ca.news.yahoo.com/former-u-v... Last Sept. 26, Cheney's appearance in Vancouver was marred by demonstrators who blocked the entrances to the exclusive Vancouver Club. The activists, who at one point scuffled with police, called for Cheney's arrest for war crimes and booed guests as they arrived at the $500-a-ticket dinner. One man was arrested for choking a club staff member. |

| Mar-14-12 | | AlanPardew: <Mass transportation is an alien concept here, part of an ethos which drew some of the greatest people ever born to come live here. They didn't come for mass transit. It was freedom.> How did they get there if not by a system of mass transportation? |
|
| Mar-14-12 | | AlanPardew: <...the evidence that conservatives have any intelligence is minimal.> This from somebody who claims <Well maybe it is time to nationalize the gas and oil companies.> |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soci%C... As of 2011, the average <daily ridership is 2,524,500 passengers:> 1,403,700 by bus, 1,111,700 by rapid transit and 9,200 by paratransit service.[2] Transportation in New York City
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transp... New York City, being the largest city in the United States 54% of households in New York City do not own a car, and rely on public transportation.[12] While the so-called car culture dominates in most American cities, mass transit has a defining influence on New York life. Of all people who commute to work in New York City, 41% use the subway, 24% drive alone, 12% take the bus, 10% walk to work, 2% travel by commuter rail, 5% carpool, 1% use a taxi, 0.6% ride their bicycle to work, and 0.2% travel by ferry |
