I seriously doubt your statistics.

And the truth is, the man whose article you posted has an agenda. I don't listen to things like this from either side. Conspiracy theories are tiresome.

Where did these statistics come from?
Just curious. The oil supply is still finite and it is our mindset that needs to change, not the search for more sites of drilling. ANWR is a bandaid which will do more harm that good. If you cannot wrap your mind around environmental issues, how about survival. The state of our environment is a good predictor of our future. When the animals go, and the rivers go and the trees, etc. and all those other ridiculous things that conservatives believe to be an unnecessary bother to our quest for more, more, more...we go too. We are the stewards of our world but we live in it and rely on it too. Squander it, environment first, humans next. I realize it might not happen in our lifetime so who gives a flip but it will happen.
"Only after the last tree has been cut down, only after the last river has been poisoned, only after the last fish has been caught, only then will you find that money cannot be eaten." Cree Proverb
I know conservatives see this as tree-hugging drivel, but its true. No environment, no life.
Statistics don't lie. sm
In Franklin D. Roosevelt's sixth year in 1938, Democrats lost 71 seats in the House and six in the Senate.
In Dwight Eisenhower's sixth year in 1958, Republicans lost 47 House seats, 13 in the Senate.
In John F. Kennedy/Lyndon Johnson's sixth year, Democrats lost 47 seats in the House and three in the Senate.
In Richard Nixon/Gerald Ford's sixth year in office in 1974, Republicans lost 43 House seats and three Senate seats.
Even America's greatest president, Ronald Reagan, lost five House seats and eight Senate seats in his sixth year in office.
But in the middle of what the media tell us is a massively unpopular war, the Democrats picked up about 30 House seats and five to six Senate seats in a sixth-year election, with lots of seats still too close to call. Only for half-brights with absolutely no concept of yesterday is this a tsunami -- as MSNBC calls it -- rather than the death throes of a dying party.
During eight years of Clinton -- the man Democrats tell us was the greatest campaigner ever, a political genius, a heartthrob, Elvis! -- Republicans picked up a total of 49 House seats and nine Senate seats in two midterm elections. Also, when Clinton won the presidency in 1992, his party actually lost 10 seats in the House -- only the second time in the 20th century that a party won the White House but lost seats in the House.
Meanwhile, the Democrats' epic victory this week, about which songs will be sung for generations, means that in two midterm elections Democrats were only able to pick up about 30 seats in the House and four seats in the Senate -- and that's assuming they pick up every seat that is currently too close to call. (The Democrats' total gain is less than this week's gain because Bush won six House and two Senate seats in the first midterm election.)
So however you cut it, this midterm proves that the Iraq war is at least more popular than Bill Clinton was.
Maybe statistics should say...
Maybe instead of statistics saying how many white, hispanics, blacks or whatever races there are in America (after all it doesn't matter what nationality your heritage is from as long as you pay your taxes), maybe a better poll (statistics or whatever you want to call it) would be to tell let us know how many illegals we have versus the people who came here and are legally working and paying their taxes like the rest of us. I could give a you know what about races. I come from a family of diverse people (grandmother born and raised in Puerto Rico, grandfather born and raised in Canada, other grandmother from England, and other grandfather from Ireland - but they all went through the correct channels to be American citizens and are legal and paid their taxes along with the rest of Americans.
Statistics can be spun anyway you want.

Apparently you don't understand statistics or science. Get educated, please!!
It's not scientifically sound to make pseudo-scientific statements about U.S. obesity based on a television program you saw that featured some obese people in it. But it seems when it comes to scientific fact, statistics or the truth - you CONS don't have a clue.
Rankings: Obesity Rates Grew In Every State But Oregon
Mississippi Ranked Heaviest State
POSTED: 8:29 am PDT August 23, 2005
UPDATED: 9:34 am PDT August 23, 2005
The obesity epidemic isn't winding down -- in fact, it's expanding, according to state rankings released Tuesday by Trust for America's Health, a nonprofit health advocacy group.
Obesity rates continued to rise last year in every state but Oregon. Mississippi ranked as the heaviest state, Colorado as the least heavy, according to the report, titled F as in Fat: How Obesity Policies are Failing in America, 2005.
The rankings are based on averages of three years of data from 2002 to 2004 from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Hawaii was not included in the report.
About 64.5 percent of adult Americans are either overweight or obese. The report found that more than 25 percent of adults in 10 states are obese, including in Mississippi, Alabama, West Virginia, Louisiana, Tennessee, Texas, Michigan, Kentucky, Indiana and South Carolina.
Funny thing about those infant mortality statistics.
Rather than my doing the homework for you, I'll let you scour around and see if you can identify the problems with comparative infant mortality statistics, saying only that they don't quite prove what a lot of people think or want them to prove.
((Hint: The problems start with the definitions of "prenatal care" and "infant mortality" - which are of course the main independent and dependent variables of interest, and only get worse from there.)
Just look at statistics on infant mortality rate for mothers without prenatal care - nm

I doubt it. nm
Somehow I doubt that. nm
I seriously doubt that.
Let's stick to reality here, but probably an impossible thing to ask for.
What I know without a doubt is that I don't want...
a party who accepts the kinds of things you post here anywhere near the presidency.
Somehow I doubt that very seriously........
Palin's daughter is just an easy target right now because Obama's girls aren't old enough.... on the other hand with 12 year olds having babies, I guess we won't have to wait long, huh?
I'm sorry you think you are so morally righteous that you have the right to condemn others....
I rather doubt that.
No doubt!
I often wonder how Obama can keep his cool.
It was also pathetic when McCain carried on and on during the last debate about how someone said something unpleasant about him at an Obama rally and he felt Obama didn't stick up for him.
Are you kidding me?!!?
i have no doubt... NM

LOL...I seriously doubt that...(sm)
I tend to have that bad habit of going by facts -- not speculation.
I doubt it...
I am qualified to do other things. I do this job so that I can stay home with my kids. I could make more money elsewhere. Also, I never did say that I have easy doctors, just doctors that I am used to. I know what mushmouth things they say. I don't have medical benefits. If I needed them, I would have to do some other kind of work. I just think that it is silly to pay the auto workers more than they are worth because of unions. I understand that you are pro union and all, but there is no need to say that I will clean toilets. Come on Gourdpainter, are you having a bad day?
Oh...there is! Same ones no doubt that put him through

No doubt.....

I doubt it, too. (sm)
I expect to be called a bunch of names after people don't even bother to read it or watch the video.
But thank you for such a nice, civil comment. They're hard to come by these days on this board. 
I doubt that this had anything to do with...(sm)
how much he loves his country, much less his race (yeah, you really went out on a limb on that one). What it has to with is what he's teaching the kids. From what I understand he directs his students to his website, which is a conservative web site. That's where I have a problem. We don't need to teach partisan politics in a history class, we need to teach history...the facts.
I doubt they notice.
They are too busy cheer-leading every single thing he does and trashing anyone who disagrees with them. They seem to follow blindly, unquestioningly, and would rather not think independent thoughts. At least that's what they've led me to believe about them. You're absolutely right about Jimmy Carter, too. He does wonderful work with Habitat for Humanity. It's amazing how the group that should be the most tolerant and accepting and loving is the group that is the most ferocious, biting, hateful and angry.
I seriously doubt that is who she had in mind. ...
.
I don't doubt one word you say.
Especially considering Bush's fondness of scare tactics. I don't know if she drinks or not (I've often thought she looked, sounded and acted drunk), which makes me wonder if she might have one too many someday and spill the beans. Either way, she doesn't seem like a very stable person.
I'm sorry about your career. You weren't one of those CIA whistle blowers, were you? We've all seen, through this administration at leas, that honesty in government is a big no-no, and if anyone tries to divulge their dirty tricks, they're lives are destroyed.
I doubt a lot of conservatives were there. sm
True conservatives would not have been caught dead there. Maybe some RINOS.
I doubt you would believe it if YOU saw it. Sigh.
And just because you say it ISN'T so, doesn't make it NOT so, either. :-)
Experience....but have no doubt...
McCain/Palin will bring change with their experience. Just not the kind of social marxist change the dems want to enforce.
I have no faith in any kind of so-called change from any current member of the Democratic party.
doubt any of them have read
it either. Probably pulled off some Fox website. the post is not for discussion. You are supposed to read the quotes pulled out of their context and say to yourself, Wow, he is a black man. He is not like me. He scares me. I am afraid. I will vote for the elderly white man even if he cares not a whit about my life. It is a basic crude, race baiting post.
No, he is a socialist first.........and no doubt his
It is known for a FACT that the Obama campaign has contributed over 800K dollars to ACORN, a corrupt organization committed to voter fraud with many members of ACORN indicted for those crimes and more...... you figure it out.
And pleeeze do not tell me Obama doesn't know anything about this...
I have no doubt, we have a split
board. Someone loves arguments and has a heck of a lot of time on her hands. She is never here all at one time, if you watch closely. Uses one moniker to try to sound decent, and multiple others to incite arguing. Let's try ignoring and maybe it will go away.
Sincerely doubt that
Sam was never duplicitous.
I seriously doubt it is untrue.
Emotions are running way too high, especially in the Republican rallies, and I DO watch them. If ever there was a plant in the audience it was the black man that stood up and said, "please, sir, I'm begging you....." Notice Mc went up and hugged him and then addressed the poor woman who was "scared" of Obama because he was a terrorist. Anyone remember Mccain saying, "no, no maam, he's not." Do any of you republicans ever pay attention? 
i have no doubt He is coming
than we think.
I don't doubt that he IS. Remeber he said...
start at the BOTTOM. And that is EXACTLY what he meant.
I doubt you even read it...........sm
did you?
This person has gone to exhaustive measures and would appear to be very knowledgable in photography and computer graphics. There is a lot of proof in this article.
I doubt he's jesting s/m
The Bushes may hide in the bushes for awhile but they'll come out again and people will probably be dumb enough to elect Jeb. May as well have a Clinton/Bush/Kennedy monarchy and be done with it.
I seriously doubt liberals have anything
Republicans, the party of whiners.
No doubt..........you were probably too busy
watching Pelosi jumping up and down like an idjit who escaped from the looney bin....
Even Biden and the others looked like they were sick and tired of that charade.

Doubt Your Story
Sounds like more regurgitated propaganda.
Nice try.
Doubt this story all you want...
but it happens everyday. I'm just glad that abortion will always be legal and there isn't a darn thing you can do about it, except throw your little tantrum and stomp your feet. Who is laughing now? Oh, that would be all us women who believe we have choices. All of you women who want others to choose for you, well...that's just sad! You actually try to make a point by slamming a woman who is the victim of rape and we are supposed to believe you care about anything? You are a miserable unhappy person who is ticked off that there are women out there who take control over their lives because that is something you couldn't and didn't do. You are probably stuck in some miserable life wishing you could do it all over again. How's that for being judgemental? I do, however, feel it's true!!
Doubt your sanity.
What a fruitcake. The sooner you pathetic losers stop trying to play the victim card and start taking responsibility for your own bodies, abortion rates will drop by 90% at least.
I don't buy the 'oooh - i was dragged into a ditch by a deranged stranger' BS - it's just cliche soap opera melodrama by someone who thought it would buy her a little street cred.
Fortunately, you couldn't be further from the truth as far as my happiness level goes. I'm downright giddy. I love my live. (Except that scam artist Obama is going to try tax my a## off because I make over 250K. That kind of peeves me.)
Maybe you were projecting your horrid little life onto me. Didn't work.
So, laughing cow, how many babies have you killed? Please, when you get to a baker's dozen, have your vagina sewn shut. Obviously you cannot handle the responsibility of procreation.
I don't doubt her story...........
I know 2 people this happened to. My SIL had an abortion. My friend chose to raise the child. They made their choices and lived with them.
Oh, no doubt of that for sure! He thinks
he's gonna "save us from ourselves" because us dumb little Americans don't know what's best for us....HE DO!!
Of course, he also knows there are plenty out there who are more than happy to have the govt do all their thinking for them and are dumb enough to actually believe that is the government's job in the first place, so he has no trouble passing his crap off to them as something good!!
