I believe I saw somewhere that nationwide Obama got something like 98% of the black vote. Not positive about that though. 

 

....but its white people that are racist?.... :ermm: 

Quote: Here's another way to look at it.   In places like parts of rural Oklahoma and Wyoming for example,   the vast majority of voters are Republicans that are much more Conservative than the typical urban Republican voter.    If you can find even 1 election district anywhere in those states or anywhere in the country that voted 332-0 or more for a Republican Candidate  ( with a Democrat on the ballot )  in any National or Local election in any given year,   I will be shocked to say the least.   Let alone in 59 districts.

I understand what your saying. I would not find it entirely shocking to find those states or even a Kansas to have districts vote strictly red. 

Quote:....but its white people that are racist?.... :ermm:

It's racist if, as a race they feel disenfranchised by the GOP? Should they just vote for a party they feel do not have their interests in mind. The current version of the GOP is and has been viewed as the party of and for old white men. For better or worse, true or false, that is how it is perceived. That makes them racist?

 If there were a handful of voters in rural Kansas for instance that didn't vote red in an election district of over 300 voters,  that wouldn't shock me.  But I still strongly believe that it's practically impossible for every single voter of a district that large to vote for the same candidate when there's a choice from both major political parties.   That much more when factoring a small % of people inadvertently not casting their vote the way they intended.   When multiplying this by 59,  I think the chances everyone of those election districts not casting even one vote for Mitt Romney is as close to impossible as anything can be.

It's possible your underestimating left leaning people's disdain for Romney. Think your hatred for Obama. It was that bad. 

 

Aside from that, while improbable it's not entirely impossible that's all I am saying.

 You can include my line of thinking in any election district of your choice in the United States as one person.   I can't imagine over 300 people anywhere as concentrated as an election district that would feel the way I do about Obama to the extent that no one would differ to the point that Obama would get zero voted in an election distrct that size.    Especially when also factoring in that voting in the U.S. is suppose to be private.   This isn't suppose to be Iran,  a place in which you could lose your life if you vote for the opposition.

Philly is pretty damn close.

Quote:Rand Paul or Ted Cruz - both of them have as much chance as I do of being your next President. They would be so easy to demonize you might as well tell Hilary to go on vacation during the campaign.


A belief in "massive voter fraud" will just keep Democrats in office. How about tailoring a campaign that will entice some voters - rather than sound like sore losers who can't prove what they complain about.


You cannot keep running negative agenda / holier than thou campaigns and expect to win. Which is why I think a lot of Republican/Tea Party/Libertarian types aren't into winning. With that comes responsibility and hard work.


It's easier to sit over there reading Milton Friedman or something.

Let's see your moderate Bush was a disaster in every level, McCain stood no chance and Romney couldn't make enough of a contrast between him and Obama to make a difference. Yea you neocons running the GOP with your big government lighter version of the Democratic Party are doing so well.


You want to crack on libertarians while following Karl rove off the fiscal cliff. Joe Scarborough would be proud Adam........


Neocons disgust me more than liberals, at least liberals stand somewhere you neocons are all over the place.


You want to blame someone for Obama, take a look in the mirror your kind running watered down democrats as GOP candidates is why your party is practically dead.

It is.  

 

While I'm beyond confident that it's basically impossible for one candidate to get 19,605 votes with the other getting 0 votes,  in a place like Philadelphia,   the intimidation of the Democrat Party does suppress the Republican vote in certain voting districts.

Quote:http://www.snopes.com/politics/ballot/2012fraud.asp

 

At least Snopes admitted that Mitt Romney didn't get a single vote in 59 election districts.   That in itself is a pleasant surprise.

 

The sample size to cover 19,605,  to the extent of a major party candidate not getting even one vote,  would have to be much larger than what's indicated in the Snopes article.  

 

  It wasn't even mentioned in the Snopes article about the mistakes that a small % of voters make in the voting booth.   The likelihood is probably even higher in areas where on average the people are less educated.   Unless of course they received help during the process of the actual vote,  which of course would constitute an example of voter fraud.

Maybe the district just needs to be gerrymandered more to include this guy. <a class="bbc_url" href='http://m.imgur.com/n95Dl29'>http://m.imgur.com/n95Dl29</a>

When white people do that in predominantly black districts, its called poll watching.

Quote:I would love it if someone could point to just one thing that the current President has done since he's been in office. Just one significant thing.

I'll take a shot at it. He put Bush's war on the books. Not that this is some sort of ringing endorsement, but it's pretty hard to do absolutely nothing. So I'll stop there and keep this a government bashing thread

wait your saying poll watchers are armed? I've never seen that........

Obamacare. And that was after saving the economy from total collapse.


What did Bush do?


No child left behind -unmitigated disaster

Katrina -unmitigated disaster

9/11 on his watch -whoops

Iraq invasion -unmitigated disaster

Catching Osama -whoops

Completely tanked the economy

Turned a surplus into a deficient

Killed or displaced 100s of thousands of Iraqis

Impeded scientific progress

Deregulated the financial sector which caused the subprime mortgage crisis

"Mission accomplished" lol

Turned America into the laughing stock of the world

Upended our right to privacy

Gave away terrific power to the NSA (to spend our money to spy on us and our legislators)


I'm sure I'm forgetting some stuff but that's pretty hefty list already. Goes to show just out of touch with reality the republican voters are.

Oh come on, all of that was either Clinton's fault, or Obama's fault for not fixing it more quickly.

 

The Republicans need another turn.

not at all, I'm just pointing out the flawed comparison.
