2008 U.S. Presidential Campaign Discussion Thread 13: Victory Lap

[Strongbow]

Are you going to back that assinine statement with a bunch of numbers and percentages, or what?

Irvine just posted the percentages.

Yes, Obama did best with the "young and dumb" vote. As age increases, Obama's level of support decreases.

McCain only wins with age 65+.

 

[financeguy]

Obama is the first candidate to win the Presidency without winning the white vote since Clinton did in 1992. McCain also won the majority of those age 45 and over, as well as the majority of white college educated demographic.

Yeah, but so what, frankly? To be blunt, statements like this are what allow the left to paint conservatives as closet racists - and I am not saying you are racist.

Wow. What about the old and senile? When do they come into play?

 

[corianderstem]

Irvine just posted the percentages.

Oh, I missed the part of those numbers that proved the younger voters are dumb as a sack of hammers.

I'm 55.



and I saw women older than me celebrating at Rockefeller Center.........

 

[ntalwar]

I find these 'Our party will now govern for decades. Your party will be consigned to the dustbin of history' assumptions, from both sides, utterly pointless, history generally proves them wrong.

We are undergoing a massive change in demographics, however. So there is more truth to that statement now.

[Strongbow]

don't worry, the "old and hateful and easily frightened" vote will start to die off soon.

Don't worry, the political groups that actually get married and have children as opposed to being single and childless or aborting their children, always have a strong political future.

That's very low

 

[corianderstem]

..... what?

 

[Tiger Edge]

What isn't low for people like this?
I just watched Elisabeth Hasselbeck act VERY gracefully on the View today and thought that some of that reconciliation both Barack and John talked about last night was going to start coming through.

I guess we will have to wait until my generation is "old and dumb."

 

[Se7en]

Its still a center right country.

except the radical, elite, librul media, of course!

Fucking socialist!!!

 

[Irvine511]

maybe when the gays can get married, they'll turn republican.

So will all the single childless old hags, just to bag a rich Republican man

 

[anitram]

I'd reply but I'm a bit busy trying to finish my dinner before I go out to fuck and abort this evening.

 

[Irvine511]

no rich Republican man is going to want a liberal woman who uses abortion as a form of birth control, like you know they all do!!!

 

[Irvine511]

I'd reply but I'm a bit busy trying to finish my dinner before I go out to fuck and abort this evening.

the irony, of course, being that a liberal, educated Obama voter who's "young and dumb" (i'll over look your Canuckistan citizenship for a moment as i go all meta) is so much less likely to get divorced than your average Red State woman, it isn't even funny.

just compare the divorce rate in communist Massachusetts to ruby red Arkansas.

 

[Strongbow]

That's very low

Oh and the following by Irvine is not?

Fuck you.

 

[corianderstem]

No, that was just a sarcastic retort to your "young and dumb" comment. That wasn't a low comment by you, just an annoying one.

Your comment that followed was low.

Ha! This line of discussion reminded me of something I read last week. Very revealing.

No, that was just a sarcastic retort to your "young and dumb" comment. .

Except that its not the first time he has actually said that.

 

[corianderstem]

Hey, this is pretty good - we made it this far in the thread before the anger really kicked in. Well done, everyone!

So .... President Obama, eh? Has a nice ring to it.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

Oh and the following by Irvine is not?

He also used the and was merely responding in kind to your stereotypes

By the way I'm single and childless and to go along with your post will probably never ACTUALLY have either, have never had an abortion either (none of your business but I thought I'd share it anyway). If you can't see how offensive what you said is, well I can't help you with that one

 

[corianderstem]

Except that its not the first time he has actually said that.

I don't care.

I'm single, childless and have nothing else to say to you.
