Ha ha ha ha I see what you did there.....

It sounds like they were really worried too, a big shout out to the 12 democrats that went to Cuomo's funeral. Those 12 being out raised the vote count needed from 25 to 29. John Thanks You. :crybaby2:

Nope, she's a girl. Bone structure doesn't lie.

Nope, she's a girl. Bone structure doesn't lie.
She appears to be a taller girl than the rest with a heavier frame - she also looks like she does some body building by the looks of her legs and shoulders, but her wrist to hand ratio, hand width and arm length are all girl as is the fat distribution on her body.

Um, if she was a tranny, you would never see a bulge. That's an inexact way to discriminate male from female. If you go with that, you're in for the crying game. Knowledge of anatomy is the way to go. Some things are always true, like male/female arm length. Proportionately, women have shorter arms than men. The lowest thumb joint on a woman is smaller than that of a man's, even if they are the same size. The index fingers on men are almost always shorter than the ring fingers, but you can only really determine the finger length it if the palm is up. A man's hand is wider relative to the wrist than a woman's hand. Men generally have shorter thumbs relative to hand size than women. Women carry a layer of fat all over their bodies, that men don't. A skinny woman will still have a tiny amount of noticeable abdominal fat unless she is completely anorexic. Of course there is always the Adam's apple, but that is less noticeable on Asians than on Caucasians. The are a bunch of tells if you are observant.

What has me chuckling over this is that approx 8% of ALL republicans in the house voted against boehner and the far right thinks they are strong. The far right was smited just as badly as the democrats in the midterms. Voters rejected both

[Mac-7]

I hope you don't think the voters prefer Obama and the democrats?

Clearly they don't.

But because the Tea Party patriots are not fence sitting Libertarians but rather in the middle of the fight they are still relevant.

[Peter1469]

Libertarians are not sitting on the fence. They are very clear in not supporting the evil establishment.

[Mac-7]

Libertarians are not sitting on the fence. They are very clear in not supporting the evil establishment.

All I ever hear from you is that if republicans ever nominate a candidate you like you will get off the fence and vote for them.

[zelmo1234]

It does not take that many votes to send it into a committee. 29 was all they needed, and Boehner would not have come out the speaker, and he knows this. That is why this was the most decent in 100 years

[zelmo1234]

All I ever hear from you is that if republicans ever nominate a candidate you like you will get off the fence and vote for them.

Yes but there are a lot of constitutional conservatives that are the same way, 5 million plus did not vote or voted for someone else in 12.

So the establishment wing will have a hard time winning the Whitehouse if that group is not on board. Think about that when you vote in your primary Jeb is not getting my vote, in many ways he is worse that Obama

[Mac-7]

Yes but there are a lot of constitutional conservatives that are the same way, 5 million plus did not vote or voted for someone else in 12.



I think they made a bad choice.

Obama is a far worse president than Romney would have been.

[zelmo1234]

What do you think that Romney would have done differently?

Wear a flag pin.

[Mac-7]

So the establishment wing will have a hard time winning the Whitehouse if that group is not on board.

But many in that group don't want my group or others who are not exactly like them.

Christians for instance are not very welcome in the fence sitter crowd.

Or anyone not fully committed to gay rights or legalized drugs.

[Mac-7]

What do you think that Romney would have done differently?

I think he would have approved the pipeline.

And put more effort into the war against Islam.

[zelmo1234]

Wear a flag pin.

How could I have missed it, Wish I would have voted for him now :)

[zelmo1234]

I think he would have approved the pipeline.

And put more effort into the war against Islam.

I agree on the pipeline, It would have been different in Iraq, but not a lot

And that is what I mean both of these are trivial and will not change the direction of the country, So why does it matter who is in the Whitehouse.

[Mac-7]

You want me to take out my crystal ball and predict every move president Romney would have made if elected.

I can't do that.

But in a thousand different ways I think Romney has more character and intelligence than Obama does and Romney would have been a better president.

[zelmo1234]

But many in that group don't want my group or others who are not exactly like them.

Christians for instance are not very welcome in the fence sitter crowd.

Christians can't worry about what people think, We get our directive from a higher power.

So you do the right thing. The fence sitters that are possibly going to vote GOP Gay rights is not their deal breaker issue.

There is a reason that nobody runs on a plan anymore. They tell you to go to the Web site. You do and find out the Web site says they have a plan, but does not tell you anything about it!

Both partied like what is going on it is the WWF of politics all rants are for show

[zelmo1234]

I agree that he is a Good and Godly man. But he was the most progressive with the possible exception of Huntsman that was running, we would still have huge deficits and a government growing and expanding it's power.

In different areas sure, but the net result is we would still be heading for the cliff

Romney was not my preferred choice but for the general election it was him or obumer and that was a no-brainer for me.

I respect your choice, I will not vote for a progressive or the lesser of 2 evils.

I don't think that is true. The 'fence sitter' groups contain a large number of people who think that personal decisions are just that: personal. Government has no place in making moral or social choices adults.

[Mac-7]

I don't think that is true. The 'fence sitter' groups contain a large number of people who think that personal decisions are just that: personal. Government has no place in making moral or social choices adults.

Which leads them to think drugs should be legal and perverts free to marry whomever they "love."

It also leads many to hate Christians who do not think that way.

[Peter1469]

All I ever hear from you is that if republicans ever nominate a candidate you like you will get off the fence and vote for them.
Correct. If they nominate a non-establishment candidate I would consider voting for that person.

[Mac-7]

Right.

You are sitting on the fence waiting for the nation to come to you.

So voting blindly for establishment, big-government statists is the answer?

You're not a conservative, there's nothing conservative about you. Reciting the standard RW radio rhetoric doesn't make you a conservative, you're actually an embarrassment to real conservatives.

You're an establishment shill, a little Eichmann for corporatists.

And put more effort into the war against Islam.

I think that you will find that the Republican establishment has no intention of making things better.

If the passing of the budget and election of Boehner does not convince you that they are one with the Democrats I don't know what will

[Dr. Who]

Who buys that art?
No one, but life drawing is a core class in art school. You have to be able to sketch the essential form of a person in a very short period of time and at the same time capture the character of that person. Then you either keep the sketch for your own portfolio or you throw it away. They re-pose the model every 15 minutes or so. The point of the exercise is to become so acquainted with the human form in all of it's life stages that you aren't wasting time in a fine art piece trying to figure out the proportions of arms or painting people who look stunned or awkward. Once you are expert in drawing people, you are free to be creative.

It's really not so bad. After a while you stop looking at them like they are nude people, they just become subjects and actually the older ones become more interesting to draw than the young ones - they have more character everywhere.
