Election 2004 County breakdown

That's too good to p!@#$%^&* up. Notice that we went to war with Brittan? Whoa, imagine that. The American revolution, I think it was called. Ever hear of it?

...what does it matter if we went to war with Britain?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

You were saying that the Brittish dictators were worse than Saddam. I was saying we went to war with them too, and that it didn't support your argument in the slightest.

Going to war with one British dictator doesn't mean you went to war against every other British dictator in history.

 

But this isn't my argument so I'll fly away now..

[MonteZuma]

Different groups of people *in urban centers*, you mean.

 

I agree, 43.5% of statistics are useless.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

25% of respondents to the survey were from rural areas. That is more than enough to get some statistically significant results.

 

It is interesting that you trust the Book of Revelation to give you guidance on the issue of a national ID card, but you don't trust exit polls to identify voting trends.

 

Heh.

[Dr Brain]

I don't trust the Book of Revelation, actually. It can be bent to mean a lot of things that it wasn't written to mean.

 

Read what I said; I simply said that most Christains wouldn't accept a national ID card.

Lets get some perspecitve here. If we had not gone to war against Hitler, the world would be a worse place to be. This is an undenyable fact. Yet, you'll notice that the soldiers in WWII had to do the same thing for their tanks.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Just one thing...

 

At what point did Saddam invade Poland?

[Dr Brain]

Kuwait, 1991 (I think).

Bush> "Now THIS is a mandate!"

 

(Wow, a funny pic that's on topic )

[Guest Recombo]

Vile, several people have learned to express their opinion in a worthwhile manner. These guys have been heard and have actually been able to pursuade us to understand their views. All I understand from you is "my guy lost and I'm a sore loser."

 

Please attempt to conduct a discussion in a manner which keeps things at an intellectual level. Thanks.

 

Regarding your concerns about adequate armor, do you believe this is something new? Vehicle armor has been available for quite a very long time, however, past presidents and their cabinet members didn't scope out the funding to provide even the minimal levels. Most of the US Military went to war in Panama, Bosnia, Iraq, Sudan and Somalia without armor....ALL DURING CLINTON'S ERA.

 

Simply put, Pres. Bush has spent more money to bring our military into the 21st century then any president since times prior to Vietnam. Normally liberals are complaining about how much money is being spent. Now they figured that it was worth it and ask "why haven't you spent EVEN MORE." Again, this is the blunt double edged sword of liberal politics.

 

Montezuma, is 25% a fair number? Maybe 50% is better.

...Montezuma, is 25% a fair number?  Maybe 50% is better.

No. If you have a budget that allows you to survey 25 people to gauge voting habits of blacks and whites, and your population is 500 (25 black voters and 475 white voters), you would normally survey more white people than black people to get a representative result.

 

For a truly random survey, you might survey 1 out of every 50 voters. If you picked and choosed until you had equal numbers of blacks and whites you might screw up the random design of your survey.

 

A statistician could explain this better than me, but I think you get the drift.

Um, my only 'argument' was that most British rulers were worse than Saddam..., so actually it _does_ support it...um, ya.

[Greased_Lightning]

Wow this was a good one, wish I had gotten on to this earlier.

First off one little-known fact: Hitler was not endorsed by anywhere near a majoriry of Germans... the percentages that brought National Socialism (Nazi Party) to power in Germany were something like

38% National Socialism

35% Communist

18% Liberalism (The gov't in place at the time)

 

Hitler only came to power because more people feared communism than Fascism so the majority of people in Germany at the time weren't dumb Nazi's but it's just that Germany didn't have a stipulation that the party had to achieve a majority.

 

Now, on to the education thing: To say that people who voted for Bush are less intelligent is extremely insulting and very arrogant. Do you want to know the main reason people in the midwest voted Bush? Morality and economics...yeah that's right ECONOMICS... because the Democratic party hasn't worked for AMERICAN AGRICULTURE. During the Clinton years, farmers faced record LOW prices for crops and livestock. Clinton brought NAFTA in and sold out American farmers under the guise of "free trade" when the policies of other countries have been anything but free or fair. Just like anyone else, we don't like getting kicked in the balls and we remember those who did it. We arent going to vote for people who think that we are ignorant hicks and until they LEARN that it will remain so. Scores on tests, reading, math, english, and science scores are all higher for schools in these rural areas that you call ignorant. Most farmers I know have 4 yr. degrees in their fields, be it Animal Range Sciences, Ag. Econ., Ag Systems Mngmt., or other varied sciences. Those that don't have gone to 2 year or specialized schools that focus on things like feedlot operations, machinery operation/repair, or AI schools (if you don't know what AI means then find out yourselves, and I dont mean artificial intelligence)

It takes a lot more INTELLECT to make a farm or livestock operation work than it does to weld the same door to the same car at some !@#$%^&*embly line in Detroit! We don't hate democrats, we elect them to the Senate and House, and they do a fairly good job, but it seems that so many democrats hate us because we exercise our choices and beliefs, not just pay lip-service to them. If I were dead-set against all democrats, why would I have voted for three of them to represent my state this year?! I guess I'm just a hypocrite right?! You better define intelligence because if intelligence means "Vote my way or you're stupid" then let's all just go back to 3rd grade and have fights about cutting in front of someone in the line or he stole my crayons.

 

Sorry but when people accuse me of being an idiot because of my vote, I get very pissed off. I don't mean to insult anyone here and if I did, please accept my apologies.

I like you Canadian. A worthy poster.
