NAACP Releases Statement On 2014 Elections, But No Mention Of Mia Love Or Tim Scott

Re: Patthetic NAACP fails to mention historic wins by Tim Scott and Mia Love.

Cute. :roll:

You will note that I do the same thing with republicants. The goofy thing about the voter ID and campaign finance issues is that both parties agree to disagree on anything that they perceive as giving the other party an advantage - any other reality is relegated to a distant second place. The same is true of gerrymandering - the republicants like to spread minorities evenly to prevent any "majority minority" districts while the demorats prefer to try to concentrate minorities to create districts that virtually guarantee a minority (demorat?) candidate's victory. This is one reason why the demorats want to keep identity politics alive and well and the republicants try to downplay that angle. ;)

I didn't notice.

And actually, when Republicans gerrymander districts, they actually concentrate minorities and other Democratic constituencies into certain 90%+ voting districts, sacrifice them, and take the now-50-55% GOP districts. Democrats try to spread out minorities in different districts. Both of which are bad.

Yo, warrior of the wet pants, where did you learn to be such an expert on blacks?

I am a traveler of both time and space my bone chewing friend

Re: NAACP Releases Statement On 2014 Elections, But No Mention Of Mia Love Or Tim Sco

A black organization, funded by blacks to lobby for blacks and black causes seems to really bother you, doesn't it?
No, it doesn't bother me at all. Are you employing a cowardly means of accusing me of something here? Grow a pair and say whats on your mind.

So, you are just upset that republicans do a better job of gerrymandering than democrats then

If that's what you gleaned from my comment, than I might suggest some reading comprehension lessons in the near future.

That's what I gleaned. Did it ever occur to you that maybe your writing style is the problem not my comprehension?

I bolded the important part regarding my feelings about gerrymandering. The fact that you missed it in your haste to take a partisan shot is not my problem.

I didn't miss it. Liberals, when their hand is caught in the cookie jar, tend to play the 'everyone does it' card.

Are you claiming that one side (I can't make heads or tails out of what you're arguing here) doesn't gerrymander when given the opportunity?

"Hang in the cookie jar"? Pardon my french, but what the blue **** are you talking about?

Someone seemingly gerrymandered the **** out of my state house district in the last few years.

Hell, I used to live in a different district entirely, but now it's the 193rd. Haven't moved though...

I went here and acquired the district map from 2001, then the map from 2012 after changes during 2011 and 2012.

PA house 193rd redistricting.jpg

Interestingly, because of the redistricting, in 2012 when I voted, BOTH districts were on the ballot - the 92nd (where I used to vote) and the 193rd (where I vote now).

If you look at the maps, especially in the better versions via that link, you'll note that the redistricting in 2011-2012 removed a city from the district (Hanover, it looks like)...and skirts the boundaries of two cities it was never close to before (Carlisle and Newville).


If I had to guess, the republicans did a little redistricting to give their incumbent a better reelection chance.


Edit: then again, I'd say the 2001 version was a bit gerrymandered itself. Probably democrats.

I always love it when right wingers quote MLK. It's amazing how much they like him now that he's dead.

I always love how Proglibs ignore what he was saying while spitting on his grave. Better to extend the racist bigotry he died to overcome, than embrace the inclusiveness, which they reject to maintain their agenda. Obviously, at times, such individuals leave no doubt where they stand.
 
Re: NAACP Releases Statement On 2014 Elections, But No Mention Of Mia Love Or Tim Sco

Then why do you expect democrats to celebrate a republican victory?

I don't expect them to, think I've established that pretty clearly. You initiated this conversation in response to me stating that the NAACP is pretty much a sub-organization for the Democrat Party.

Well, the majority of blacks are democrats so yes, they are more likely to advances the party that advances blacks.

So then you agree, the NAACP is pretty much a partisan entity. While a majority of blacks are Democrats, not all are so perhaps they should amend their mission statement to state they only support the advancement of black Democrats, black liberals or black progressives. Clearly they don't live by their current mission statement otherwise they'd celebrate Tim Scott's victory as this is pretty significant advancement for a black American.
 
Re: Patthetic NAACP fails to mention historic wins by Tim Scott and Mia Love.

Actually, I think they're right and they're wrong.

This election ISN'T about who won, it's about who lost. The electorate voted AGAINST Democrats much more than they voted FOR Republicans, because the Democrats are a bunch of dickless chicken****s who let the narrative be written for them.

Are you in denial or what. This is not the first time Obama and the liberals got a shellacking, quoting Obama, this time the atom bomb went off. The reason the bomb went off is because of Obama's and liberal policies. But your in denial just like Obama is.
 
Re: NAACP Releases Statement On 2014 Elections, But No Mention Of Mia Love Or Tim Sco

Nahhh, watching right wing nutjobs pretend they don't hate blacks is much more fun.



Don't you realize, you have to hold the same value system of hate, as those you accuse of having hate, in order to make such an asinine statement?


Do you find using black people as a bat on your political opponents an honorable position to hold?

Truman Library - Public Papers of the Presidents: Harry S. Truman

I've seen it happen time after time. When the Democratic candidate allows himself to be put on the defensive and starts apologizing for the New Deal and the fair Deal, and says he really doesn't believe in them, he is sure to lose. The people don't want a phony Democrat. If it's a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat, and I don't want any phony Democratic candidates in this campaign.

Harry Truman's words from 1952 ring true today. The Democrats refused to run as Democrats, and they got killed for it. Deservedly so.

Oh so your saying if the democrats ran more to the left of Obama they would have won. Who are you kidding. No one. And what if the democrats told more lies about their policies and tried harder to lie and cover up their scandals, they would have won. You are in denial. Period. But you are a typical liberal there is always someone to blame. The truth is, in this case it is failed policies and you can put all the lipstick you want on that pig and it's still a pig. Nice try.

No, I'm saying that if they actually ran on the very real accomplishments of the last six years instead of running away from and apologizing for them, they might not have gotten drubbed as badly. They probably still would have lost seats, due to the nature of the races, but they certainly wouldn't have gotten completely undressed.

What real accomplishments? There is none. But maybe you can enlighten me.

You'll either deny or attempt (badly, as you usually do) to handwave or explain away anything I say, so I'm not going to bother.

Thanks, but it's not just me it's the public that don't buy any accomplishment you may want to throw my way. Hell those Dems that were running for election were running as far away from Obama and his so called accomplishments were killing them. Obama has been a failure at everything he has done while in office. Except find time to play golf.

Let's look at this objectively. I realize asking that of YOU is a stretch, but seriously.

Look at how the Democrats campaigned, and look at the results.

Democrats always lose when they refuse to campaign as Democrats and let the GOP write the narrative for them. That's what happened this year, and that's why they got creamed.

The Dems lost because they lost the White vote.......married couples with children voted 58 to 40 percent Republican. The Dems need to decide if they really think they can win going forward with a black, Hispanic and gay coalition.....
