How did these people vote?

[Derek]

My comments are too controversial to post here in regards to the voting groups being talked about.

[Derek]

What about ppl who are left handed? I also wondered about ppl with yellow cars?

[Derek]

I'm left handed ty lol. Actually I'm ambidextrous. I eat and use a fork with my left as well as throw and play hockey and write. My right hand is for golf and I kick right footed.

[Derek]

Haha my point is that it is very elitist to divide ppl up into groups and look at how they vote. It's like Obama divides us up into groups to be managed by the ruling class.

[Derek]

my point is that it is highly elitist to divide ppl into groups that you think they "belong" to and study them as if they are an object. Obama loved doing that before running for president and still does.

Alcoholics: 77-23% McCain

LOL I have no idea about this one, but what makes you think they are so Republican? Remember that alcoholics include many minority groups such as African Americans, and especially Native Americans.

Yes, but numerically, there are much more whites who drink alcohol than minorities. Maybe my numbers were a little overinflated by there are a lot of Southern and Western whites who drink a lot. Maybe a better number would be 67-33% McCain.

So white automatically equals Republican?
You do realize that there are a lot of white cutural drinkers in places like South Boston and Butte who are extremely Democratic in their voting nature?

Southern Whites drink much more than other whites, and they are overwhelmingly Republican. Also, I'm not sure I would classify cultural drinkers (or at least many of them) as alcholics, sicne many of them just drink  occasionally, not on an everyday basis.

Remember how I explained my learning experience from a DUI and said that Bush should've done the same thing in 2000. It's not how much you drink or how often. It's how you drink. Alcoholics have tendencies to drink by themselves, drink because they're bored, drink to escape depression, take their minds off of things, and gain confidence. They actually become dependent on alcohol. A guy from the south who drinks with his friends every night after work is nothing more than a stereotype and I find it grossly offensive. You might as well throw out other stereotypes about blacks, Jews, and gays. Drinking is part of the southern and western culture in the same way that it's part of Irish and Italian cultures and I'm sure the majority of the latter 2 didn't vote for McCain. Overall maybe alcoholics did vote for McCain. I know I did. What does that matter and where are you getting at?

Who is Rouchambeau and what about it is wishful thinking?

How did dog owners vote?

[Derek]

see I don't have any pets but would own a dog in the next couple years.

Irish: 55 Obama
English: 51 Obama
German: 57 McCain
Polish: 68 McCain
Italian: 67 McCain
Scottish: 55 Obama
French: 57 Obama
Greek: 60 McCain
Russian: 71 McCain
African: 99 Obama

I think Italians are a roughly 50-50 voting bloc. Also, African is 95%, not 99%.

See the Italians I've known have been very Democratic but not liberal. In Pittsburgh we get alot of steel working democrats or lunch bucket dems who are Italian, German, Polish, Irish, and Greek by ancestry.

[Derek]

that's true, Walmart is Republican on the outside but democrat on the inside
