"You just blindly accused me of being a bible thumper,"- I did not, what I said was "a lot of Cons are Bible thumpers"

" It's a blind accusation, with the expressed purposes of labeling me, or anyone that dares disagree, pigeon holing them and thus making it easy to dismiss their opinion."- That is total B.S., generally, I don't totally disagree with anyone, I respect most opinions and try to see where they are coming from. NOW let's you and I have a little thinking contest. You name the game.

Well, I see I have still got it (reading the CDN Bear posts quoted by others). I still have the knack of getting under the skin of opposition, reducing them to gibbering caricatures, blind with rage.

Good to know I still haven’t lost my touch.

I doubt if anyone really thought you had.............:lol::lol:

I just asked you if you cared to question the math I used to prove Joey incorrect. Try starting there, if you want to make this a pissing contest.

And here you are JLM, a fine mastery, true to form of your beloved leader...

And so the saga continues.

Absolutely nothing based on fact, just blind accusations, that do nothing but remove the necessity of refuting what is placed before him, and by extension yourself, yet again.

I doubt if anyone really thought you had.............:lol::lol:

I don't know, JLM. I am sure some of them do.

Anyway, I think the thread seems to have gone way off topic. Ron, you may wish to take a look at this.
Speaking of...

If only your minions would comply...

If you disagree with the math in my post, that shows Joey's extremist assertion to be a blind accusation. Then please do so. If not, then I suggest you attempt to grow up and move along.

It would seem that it is I that has the ability to get under the skin of the gibbering caricatures, reducing them to pissing contest challenges and blind accusations.

Funny how those who truly are guilty, project that upon others.

You are into nebulous territory, Bear, it's virtually impossible to prove MOST opinions are incorrect as most of them are a mixture of truth and fiction, possibly even some of my own. Unless I'm 100% sure I'd rather just let it slide than stomp on the guy's head. I've NEVER thought of you personally as a Bible thumper. So you're "out to lunch".

Maybe you should just speak to the math that CB posted.

In reply to CDNBear

I couldn't give a crap about politics or anybody's opinion of it. What I fail to understand is someone's blind hatred of someone they never met.

Cut him some slack, Cliff, he probably just woke up in a sh*tty mood. One of the problems when some political party "owns" you, you tend to follow them right over the precipace, there is a tiny bit of truth in what he says, I think there are some cons. from all walks of life, but a lot of them are Bible thumpers for sure.
Seems pretty clear to me.

I wasn't quite sure what he meant by "the math".
So much for that "thinking contest".

Maybe you should just speak to the math that CB posted.
That would be nice.

:roll:...I see his cheering section is still alive and well...:lol:

40% is not overwhelming, considered 44% of whites are Democrats. Further, 29% of the GOP base is 18 to 29, 35% is 30 to 44, and women make up 31% of those figures. So again I say, unless SJP is using some bastardized unaccepted definition of "overwhelming", again, he is wrong. But I'm sure he, as you have, will use semantics to avoid admitting an exaggeration induced error.

BTW, he qualified his assertion with "and", perhaps if you spent a little more time thinking for yourself, you might be able to see things more objectively.

You mean you've been arguing with CB without bothering to read his posts?

Well... in a word, yes...

I schooled his dear leader don't you know?

:roll:

Some sad things never change. It's just easier to attack the poster, then the post for some people. That way you don't have to do any real 'thinking' for yourself. Gawd forbid that happen.

Before you get into too many false premises, you should go back to Cliff's original remark.........."With 40% of whites and only 2% of Blacks voting Republican, I fail to see how SirJoseph is wrong about the Republican base being white conservatives."
You missed the point entirely when you said that 40% is not overwhelming...obviously you didn't give any thought to what Cliff was saying. (40 + 2= 42), 40/42= 95.238%, which I'd say is fairly overwhelming, so based on YOUR math on that one, Yep, I'm rarin' to go on any math contests too..........:lol::lol:

Quite so, JLM. It is difficult to see a black or a Hispanic face at a Tea Party rally. They tend to be overwhelmingly white, male and old.

The RNC Chairman, Michael Steele is aware of the problem, he would like to get more blacks interested in the Republican Party. However, given the visceral hatred many from the Republican base show towards the blacks, it remains a daunting task.

And if anything, the divide promises to get bigger, not smaller. Obama impeachment may very well be the big issue in the next year’s elections, the Republican base wants him impeached yesterday. So next year’s election could potentially get very ugly, with strong racial feeling on both sides.

I thought impeachment was the result of some dishonourable action. I wasn't aware that Obama had acted dishonourably, so I can only conclude that those who wish to impeach are a bunch of wingnuts.

That is true JLM; the constitution says ‘high crimes and misdemeanors’. But in practice, an impeachable offense is what the House says it is. Many people thought that Clinton’s offenses were not impeachable, more than 60% of Americans were consistently opposed to his impeachment.

But the House, in its partisan wisdom decided that Clinton had committed impeachable offenses. So if Republicans get control of the House and there is insurmountable pressure from the base, I can see House taking up the article of impeachment on some trumped up charge.

And they will succeed in impeaching Obama too; it only needs a simple majority in the House. Senate is of course, a totally different story.

That's not what Joey said. Seeing as you want to argue semantics, as I predicted, thank you for proving me right, btw.

As to why tea baggers are predominantly white, they represent the Republican base, and Republican base is overwhelmingly white, male and old.
Is what he said. He qualified his claim with a "," and "and". Not to mention his use of the word "overwhelmingly". All of which culminate in his post being incorrect and your version of math to be faulty.
You missed the point entirely when you said that 40% is not overwhelming...
I said that because 40% is not overwhelming, 87% is overwhelming.

obviously you didn't give any thought to what Cliff was saying. (40 + 2= 42), 40/42= 95.238%, which I'd say is fairly overwhelming, so based on YOUR math on that one, Yep, I'm rarin' to go on any math contests too..........:lol::lol:
:lol: Yes that was funny, because it makes no sense. Where did you learn math? Obviously the same place Joey learned critical thought.

Out of 932 register voters polled, 40% that identified as white were Republicans. 44% identified as white Democrats. As apposed to the "overwhelming" 87% black Democrats. Let's not forget that he qualified his assertion with male and old. Neither of which is supported by the stats provided. Especially since 31% of those polled identified as women, that lowers the margins even more.

Try again, stop using semantics and try critical thought or deductive reasoning. Until you do, you're not even in the same league, you're relegated to the same childish and foolish class as Joey's posts.

2% of blacks vote rep and 87% vote for dems and it's not everwhelming?

Huh? Who knew.:roll:
