Since the data was getting a bit old, I’ve thrown in ’08 presidential results, Gun Ownership (’05), unemployment (’12) and religious affiliation (’09).

Enjoy !

also, btw, the constitution explicitly prohibits nothing of the federal government, with the exception of expostfacto laws, laws taking away the protection of laws to individuals, or laws allowing sellers to place conditions on what buyers can do with their new property (entail). it exists to limit the power of states and to coerce states. the general critique of the time was that the constitution would destroy states; “consolidate” was the word most commonly used in this regard. the united states was an unprecedentedly powerful government; hamilton openly talked about abolishing states. madison was intrigued by the idea.

I would respond in kind and tell you that most racist people I know – black or white – are Democrats. Your hatred for Republicans is just as sick as racism and is what I’ve found to be characteristic of Democrat/Socialist in general. You really don’t like yourself and us even more.

There’s an old adage that goes: “When you’re pointing the finger of blame, three are pointing back at you.

A simple case in point. When the country was growing and 90% of our population were farmers, do you think women didn’t work and work hard?? I’m reading my Great Aunt’s diary from 1914 and what she did then would put many a man to shame today.

First, our Founders feared government for good cause – their necks were at risk. They studied all the various forms of governance and found them all wanting in one respect or the other.

As a result we have a democratic republic that has built in “checks and balances” and is, by design, maddingly inefficient to PREVENT the rise of an all powerful central government. Democrat/Socialist have momentarily found a way around that by simply borrowing the money instead of raising taxes.

Unfortunately, for them, not even the USA is able to escape the laws of economics. Our credit rating was downgraded for a reason. Greece is bankrupt for a reason. If Obama is re-elected, we will fall into another Great Depression for a reason. This is not speculation, this is history repeating itself.

What you’re looking at is determined by exit polls -a very small sampling of the electorate as a whole and have, notoriously, been well off the mark.

The results I’ve seen from the Roper exit polls are nonsensical. How can a population consisting of 74% caucasian cast 55% of their votes against Obama and he still wins with almost 54% of the vote.

I’ve taken their numbers and come up 4.5 million votes short of the actual total!!

I’D CALL THIS AN ANSWER IN SEARCH OF A POLL. I suspicion the NYT expected Obama to lose in ’08 and the ONLY possible explanation for that was racism.

I think they’re still surprised he won and now, how badly he’s performed. How many REAL Americans have been hurt by the “crony socialism” they’ve expounded since The New Deal.
