Not at all. I objected to the statement that all 100 would simply vote for Obama cause he is black. I think many do look at his policies and platform and vote based on that. -
1944 Are you going to tie this into a point?
-
Not quite, narcotics trade is illegal in Columbia.
-
Being black or to elect the first visible minorty to the post? Some will see a difference in that question and some will assert it is the same thing.
-
Total sample was 1,000 indeed. Of that 100 were black.

Unless the guns were all stolen from the factory, they were once legally purchased
-
A difference from what? Keep in mind that these numbers come with a 90% confidence level. Probably a margin of error around 8% (assuming a simple random sample, but that info isn't available) Hence, true number could just as easily be 90 to 10 or 88 to 12. So, I ask again, a huge difference compared to what? And did the delta in levels all vote for Obama? And if so, did they vote for Oabama because he was black? Is there any evidence supporting that suggestion?

I am sorry, but where they forced to join? Probably just as much as you do stroking yours to pictures of guys in uniform. On a more serious note. I understand that many in the US see the military as something holy and untouchable. In many other parts of th world, that is just simply not so. In many other parts of the world, patriotism isn't judged simply by support for the military. Benefits are part of an employment contract. Employment contracts change over time. They do so in the private sector, and do so, to generally a far lower extent, in the public sector.

Marc, it has nothing to do with not agreeing. Stating that blacks vote for Obama because he is black, is accusing the far majority of blacks in the US of racism devoid of the capability of thinking beyond that racism. Making an assertion like that is racist in itself, specially since historical voting patterns are very clear. I am sorry if you cannot see that. In the end there will be racists blacks who will vote for Obama cause he is black, just as there will be whites who won't vote for him cause he is black. Accusing a whole race within the country of that behaviour...well that is racist.

Dude resigns from Congress campaign after his tweets get picked up

The press or the people? -
If you are racist, yes. If you have the ability to do some thinking unclouded by preconceived notions about other races. Well then it is quite clear that the far majority of blacks tend to vote democrat and have for quite some time.
-
Now you know why the Milwakee paper took the story down. Not because of a grand liberal conspiracy, but because it was bullshit.
-
Funny you say that. Still waiting for you to prove causality and correlation in the Collin Powel thread. You were also supposed to explain why blacks voted along the same split in previous elections.
-
It was a generalized "motherhood" statement.
-
Guy just called into a talkshow and says he is a retired high ranking officer of the DEA. He says it is clear that Bush is Obama's dealer.
-
Bah, I sure hope Libertarians would turn down federal matching funds. HA! that's a great point And a great example of how quickly principle will crumble under the weight of money.
-
God doesn't control the weather?
-
Only somewhat tnogue in cheek answer: I am sure that the guy in the subject line feels pretty fucked over by republicans.
-
Then if you still believe that explain the same voter split in previous elections.
-
Well at least you admit that blacks voting for Obama cause he is black is a stupid premise.
-
Yup a thousand people were surveyed. 100 identified as black. So now the poll is trying to draw conclusions from that subsample of 100. I am sure some of them do. Just like some white people want a white president. I give the majority of people credit for thinking a bit more beyond that. As has already been pointed out, blacks tend to vote democrat in overwhelming numbers. In plain words, your premise is bullshit.
-
Translation, I have been shown wrong once again. Just rebut the numbers above genius.
-
Actually, I said the same thing all along. Those who are capable of reading and comprehending at the same time get it. As always I suggest starting with walking and chewing gum and building up from there.
-
Honestly, I don't care if they call it a terrorist attack or not. It is by far the stupidest argument. Nor do I believe that somebody claiming responsibility makes it true either. I am interested in if a distress signal was received and purposely ignored resulting in the deaths of 4.
-
Great, thanks. So the poll is based on a sample size of 100. equates back to a 90% confidence level. The results with a sample size of 100 aren't that reliable. Never mind that it still doesn't speak to correlation or causation. But rushmc is going to provide proof of that
