    Ahhh now that's ART!!

    The Republican's only need EITHER Ohio or Penns, and Obama needs BOTH. BTW this was giving the other five projected toss up states to Obama. If the Republican's take 3 of the 5 toss up states, then they don't need Ohio or Penn.

    I hate to tell you this ..... (no I don't; snicker) It was Ronald Reagan who need a drop in the unemployment numbers he was magically going to do when he got in office using piss down economics.(In Mexico they call those people the peon's here we call them the South)

    Ronald decided to change the way we count unemployment and for the first time in our history counted the military as employed, part time work as employed and those who exhausted their unemployment off the roll.

    Before Reagan there were two ways of counting unemployment was U3 (Unemployed Civilian Workforce) and U6 (Non-Farm employees).
    Uhh, Nintendo didn't start making electronics in the US until 1981 with the Donkey Kong upright console arcade game, and didn't start producing the NES for US homes until 1985. Facts Nikki, Facts! Pulling shit outta your ass isn't gaining you any credibility.

    And I'm a bit confused about the 2nd part of your post.... Why do you want to piss on Mexican peons? That sounds fairly racist, oppressive, and an unfair use of stereotypes. Strangely enough, that also seems to be something that the Liberals are comfortable doing, as long as THEY are the ones doing it, and no one points it out to them.

    I got my game Pong about I got my first Big Wheels in the 70' ... I use Nintendo as a generic like most people call carbonated sweet water Coke. I didn't mention DK ... The facts man the facts.

    Fact is Peon is a racist remark describing a race of poor people in Mexico that the rich would pee on. We in America adopted the racist word and used it to describe our poor taking it out of the original intent and making it a derogatory remark about American Class. Reagon couldn't call Supply Side Economics the Peon so they called it Trickle down ... Ronald was a word smith.... "Fax man Fax" ooh we had faxes in the 70's

    LMAO! You just made that up. your ignorance is showing Nikki

    It isn't racist, you are. And you are trying to make it so. Fact is, the word's true meaning has it's roots in indentured servitude, making it far more about class than race.

    I'm going to laugh at all your urination jokes here, cuz potty humor makes me laugh. But you can't be serious

    When one Mexican call another Mexican that ... when a white person White Mexican) calls a Peon that's racist. As you know being as smart as you are that for hundreds of years the ruling class in Mexico was white American and Europeans. Remember .....

    After moving to Texas in 1830, Bowie became a Mexican citizen and married the daughter of the vice governor of the province. His fame in Texas grew following his failed expedition to find the lost San Saba mine,
