You're just mad because you are not, and never will be, as good as me.

Somehow, I'll struggle along.

Just what I figured. There are no conservative and no liberal states. In every state in that chart, more than half of the people had a contrary opinon. I'm suprised at Gallup, one of our oldest and most reputable polling organizations. The have signed in on the premise that America is a political battlefield between conservatives and liberals. The two parties have taken control of the levers of power to the point the legal barriers to a viable third party challenge normally dead before it's born. Now are we to assume that there are only two trains of political thought too?

In my mind, the poll shows exactly the opposite being true.

Among liberals, everything is a consensus because they are made up of gays and blacks and Hispanics and Muslims and feminists and so on. So many groups with very different agendas and interests.

Conservatives are white and Christian with little education. They vote and march in lockstep. Conservatives accuse liberals of doing that, but just looking at the make up of the Democratic party and it's "rainbow coalition", that is obviously false and silly.

I am neither "conservative" nor "liberal" so here is an outside opinion for you. You both act exactly the same and are so blinded by your beliefs that you don't see it. You both have your talking heads you take orders from. You both have your talking points. You both let your ideology overrule logic and common sense. You're two sides of the same coin which makes this back and forth pissing match so freaking stupid.

And as far as political thought is concerned, you are what?

Michael Steele, Herman Kane, J.C. Watts, Clarence Thomas, Condi Rice, Walter E. Williams, Thomas Sowell, etc. are uneducated whites? Wow. They sure have great tans and sure sound smart!

What an idiot....

Different agendas generate consensus? FOR REAL?????

You'll have to excuse RDean. He's never met a Republican. So he gets his information from reading Doonesbury comics.

Actually, what's interesting about those stats is that self styled conservatives have an advantage in all 50 states. The only place liberals outnumber conservatives is in DC itself. Interesting isnt it?

Liberals are attracted to power. They need it to maintain themselves. its like divine right of kings for them. Its kind of sad when you think about it.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Liberals are attracted to power.

And conservatives aren't? Puh...lease.......

 

[goldcatt]

I always suspect polls and labels. I'm an old school overall moderate Liberal with libertarian (small L) tendencies, some conservative positions and a healthy disrespect of both major and most minor money grubbing power hungry machines we call political parties. Where do I fit in on these polls? What label do I assign myself? How are those answers meaningful in any real sense when most of us can't even agree on what "liberal" and "conservative" actually mean?

Yea, I think that's about all of them. Them, plus the 96% who are White and Christian. oops. I guess I spoiled you point. Sorry.

Everything that makes the US great is referred to by the right as "leftist elitism". They could do great things to. Tearing down the country is NOT a great thing but it's the only thing Republcians have done for years.

Since when is freedom "Leftist elitism"?

"Leftist elitism" is code for "anti education".

Funny how the top southern conservative states have the highest divorce rates, teen pregnancy rates, lowest funding of education and lowest literacy rates.
Makes perfect sense to me.

If it's true the Republican party is 96% white and Christian (which it isn't), why is there something wrong with that?

How many Republicans have you met again?

Oh yeah. None. That explains a lot.

So what your saying is that "anti education" is what has made this nation great. That makes even less sense. Freedom is what this nation great.

Right...Condescending to people you don't even know, in telling them that you what's best for them better than they do, is what made America great.


Speaking of people who are just plain stupid.....

White wingers have been doing that to the gays, Hispanics and blacks for years.

Are you calling white wingers "stupid"?

Which is rather funny, since its the left that is telling all these groups to support them because they know whats best for them.

Freedom is something the right wants to "limit". Ask the gays.

I was actually talking about physical stuff. You know that one of the greatest Evangelical monuments in the United States, the Crystal Cathedral, was designed by Philip Johnson? Just that one fact cracks me up. If they could have designed it themselves, they would have.
