already did-you lose

Isn't the link you posted a little self defeating though? It also shows those with HS diplomas vote for Democrats in larger numbers. The same goes for those who have some college and Democrats basically annihilate Republicans in the Post Graduate section too. Your article basically shows that the least educated, those with an average amount of education and the most educated all tend to vote in larger numbers for Democrats.

I guess you are not able to comprehend my point-I never said that most dems are HS dropouts I said most HS dropouts vote dem by noting that those with the least amount of education were most likely to be dems.

You really don't have the education to make such comments about me dude.

not at all, the issue was which party was most likely to be supported by the most ignorant or least educated people

the post graduate numbers favor the dems because the most common PG degrees in the USA are masters for teaching and law degrees and I will readily concede that the teachers unions and a majority of lawyers see the dem party as more advantageous to their interests
 
Here is some more

VDARE.com: 11/21/04 - “Californication”—Increasing Inequality—Surprisingly Good For Democratic Pols

Traditionally, Democrats have done best with the educational extremes. The exit poll in 2000 showed Gore carrying the educational extremes. Nationally, the former vice president won 59 percent to 39 percent among voters without high school degrees.

You and this site are making a statement that reveals complete stupidity.

It's the equivalent of saying - 3% of the population are avid fans of Polka music. Of the polka music fans, 64% voted democratic.

Therefore the Dems attract mostly polka music fans.

Your whole premise that Dem policy is designed to get votes from the poor uneducated people is false because the vote is split along income lines and high school drop outs don't represent enough of the vote to matter. 30% of the 3% is still voting GOP, what does that tell you?

Now from one district to the next you may find a poor/drop-out trend, but there of plenty bible belt districts with many social-cons that never finished high school and rely on welfare. They vote republican.

you are caught lying and you change the issue

the fact is MORE HS DROPOUTS vote dem than GOP and the educational cohort that MOST FAVORS DEMS ARE HS DROPOUTS

ignorant people are more likely to vote dem than any other group

and if you want to compare education on a purely personal level lets have at it

Well, that's not what you said... and you left out that Dems get those on the top end as well. How do you explain that? The smartest and the underprivileged vote dem?

You absolutely did make the claim about Dems attracting only lower incomes... which your own stats prove false.

You really don't have the education to make such comments about me dude.

Given your gross misinterpretation of the stats, I question your education.

do you really want to compare education?

I don't think so given the post someone sent to me about your claims

but the issue wasn't top end where there are lots of government supported PhD's and teachers its about the most ignorant and uneducated people-the group that gives a HIGHER PERCENTAGE SUPPORT TO THE DEMS THAN ANY OTHER EDUCATIONAL COHORT IS THE HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUTS

I didn't misinterpret anything-you made up a claim I never stated and then whined about it

First of all, you've shown that in 2006, 64% of the people who didn't finish HS (3%) voted Dem. So, Dems carried a 14 pt lead in that 3% of the population.

Some strategy, eh. We lock up that 0.018% and we'll own the GOP...:roll:

ignorant people are more likely to vote dem than any other group

I'm sorry, I don't see the stat for IQ.

You did mention something about graduate degrees...:lamo:lamo:lamo

and if you want to compare education on a purely personal level lets have at it

Me - B.A. in English.

You? -- I could care less, your posts reveal, IMO, a lack of critical thinking ability.

wow a BA in English-from where?

If its Amherst or Princeton that might be interesting

me BA, JD, MS (labor relations and labor law)

all from top schools-the BA and the MS were from (at the time # 1 program in the nation)

one with honors, one with high honors

and you can claim what you want but your lack of ability to understand the obvious suggests you engage in emotobabbling rather than critical thinking
 
None of those, actually.

I'm concerned about the people who take their religion, law and faith to the extreme, then believe that if they die in the process of preserving their faith they're blessed - and show no qualms with deeming others 'deserving of death' and then playing God and dealing out that death.

A non-islamic extremist example are the death-cults that believe the world will end - soon - and they intend to hasten their departure. (it's not *very common* but it has happened in the last few years as we approach 2012)
They freak me out, too. . . I wouldn't want them anywhere near me if their beliefs, in a sister-cult, led to the deaths of thousands.

You know - anytime someone doesn't have a problem with killing others and does it as some part of a religious-freedom or self empowering things I *really* just don't want them around my hood.

No Ted Kazynskis near me, please . . .thanx

Strange, lawyers are usually much better writers and critical thinkers than you are. They are trained to examine both sides of an argument--apply logic and reason.

Every conservative lawyer that I know has a pretty good understanding of basic economics--yet in the other thread, you weren't able articulate anything but broad talking points.

all from top schools-the BA and the MS were from (at the time # 1 program in the nation)

So, then you must be very bright and successful.

Explain this stat from your link:

VOTERS who made $100,000 or More -- 47% Dems - 52%Gop

one with honors, one with high honors

and you can claim what you want but your lack of ability to understand the obvious suggests you engage in emotobabbling rather than critical thinking

What's painfully obvious, turtle, is you didn't go to any top school, you don't have a law degree, and you like to pretend.

Your education beyond high school consists of talk radio and fox news.

I read you like book. A comic-tragedy about the fantasy lives people create on the anonymous internet. Rev can be a millionaire and you get to be in Mensa.

But even a state college bum like myself can smell your pile of crap lies a mile away...

Be well. It's been fun. You're mildly entertaining and spin a good story... JD:lamo:lamo
 
not at all, the issue was which party was most likely to be supported by the most ignorant or least educated people

It has to be those who religiously watch Fox News and listen to 'conservative' talk radio. "Mega-Dittos Rush" :lamo

another person claimed I didn't go to lawschool

if you are sure about your assertion then back it up with some money. I will donate 10,000 dollars to Debate politics if you can prove I didn't go to say Yale and an Ivy league law school

If I can you will donate that amount to DP

you game?

do you labor under the delusion that if someone doesn't buy into your liberal psychobabble, they must listen to Rush?

I think Rush is a lunatic. Same with Glenn Beck. Same with Sarah Palin. I doubt many real conservatives give any of them the time of day.
 
Here they are, the six principles of shariah:

1. The right to the protection of life.
2. The right to the protection of family.
3. The right to the protection of education.
4. The right to the protection of religion.
5. The right to the protection of property (access to resources).
6. The right to the protection of human dignity.

Really scary stuff!!! :roll:

There you go again, dodging another question.

Why do you keep doing that? Just answer the f-ing question.

And, you don't have $10,000... but if you want to scan your degree and PM me your state bar info, I'll check it out.

Here's the thing -- you don't write or talk like someone who went to even a 3rd rate law school. Being able to write and think and argue a position are what they teach in law school. You lack those skills, as far as I can tell.

You want to prove me wrong, address just one point w/o using some Rush-Hannity talking points. Write a paragraph or two proving you actually know something, because all I see are bumper sticker posts.

Your other option is to PM your state bar info and then I'll say -- I'll be damned, he did actually go to a law school. And my next question will be, what the flark happened to you? All those years of sharpening critical thinking and reasoning skills and now your just a poster of bumper sticker talking points on DP...??

So, my suggestion would be convince us you went to law school by actually demonstrating some lawyer-like writing abilities.

Now you've gone and hurt my feelings.
 

It's not the fundamentals that are a bit of a bother - it's *how* they intend to deal out that perceived jusitice, protection and equality. Their idea of how to protect someone's property and so forth is very different.

IF there was nothing disturbing ABOUT Sharia law - and if at it's basic level it is really equivalent to American law - then they wouldn't NEED a separate court system to deal out their version of justice, now would they?

We have our one ruling document for our country - the Constitution. It already deems what is and isn't acceptable as far as a court of law goes.
 
I voted for the "Sharia Law coming to the U.S." poll option.

I don't really think "Sharia Law" stands a chance of becoming part of US law any time soon (was that 100 years someone mentioned?)

But the possiblity that some or all aspects of it have the potential to does worry me - slightly.

That said, I don't have that much knowledge of what, precisely, "Sharia Law" is - Most of my knowledge comes from negative stories about abuses against women that happen under it and are accepted by it.

I'm not really afraid of the "GROUND ZERO MOSQUE OMGWTF!!!!!!!!111" bit at all.

IF all the negative hype were true, I would be worried about it - but I'm 99.999% sure it's all hype.
 
What is happening is that we no longer believe in people and groups having the freedom to Piss on us. We are tolerant but not stupid. NO MORE ! Stop watering down federated republicanisim by trying to pussify this great nation.
We tried with Regan, We tried with the republican revolution, we tried with , "W"- Hell I even tried with Obama , it still didnt work they didnt get it! We want what we want and we want it now so it is on to the, "Great Tea Party of 2012". The revolution after, the one in november the, electorate revolution of 2010.
