Because Mitchrapp Won't...Crazy Democrat Quotes

[Michchamp]

Oh stop, you know more about shit the crazy Democrats say than any Republican on this board does...

I just posted a day or two ago on one of these political threads to your boosum buddy and best friend SpartanMack that I had seen Rick Santorium on television proudly claim that he had voted in favor of the most recent raise in the minimum wage when he was in the United States Congress...it was the thread thread that biggunsbob was posting aboot how hard a fryer chef works, and SpartanMack answered "no...shingling roofs in the hot summer sun is hard word..." and SpartanMack told sbee he was a pussy and sbee took humbrage and then SpartanMack backed down a little bit and posted "I was out of line calling you a pussy..."

...and anyway, that shit settled down.

And by the way whoa, that SpartanMack he posts a lot of youtube clips about musical theater movies for a conservative...

...oh wait; check that...

yeah, that's me...

meh. the nature of politics being what it is, and people being by nature flawed, sure you can find somethings wrong with each political party.

...but there's a hell of a lot more stupid in the GOP, and they've really courted it, basically making stupidity and ignorance one of their planks, as embodied by Santorum's notably stupid comments on school and education.

if you find yourself bashing education/higher learning/etc., you should really stop and reconsider your career in public service.

 

[Michchamp]

Oh, that's right...and one said to the other "are you calling me out?" - and I was all like "wow - this shit is on...fuckin' cool!!!" But then one backed down or the other backed down or they both backed down and it was like "sorry folks - nothing to see here - move along..."

he called Bob a bunch of names, then called sbee a pussy, I think.

he's real proud of his past history of manual labor, and that gives him the right to tell other people how much or how little money they should make. and if they disagree, they should shut the fuck up, because he used to be a bricklayer or something.

Actually 9 of the top 10 most educated are blue, Virginia can be a swing state. All 10 of the least educated are all red, all the time

Edit. Indiana isn't solid red but it's close. At least you (should) get my point

You need to keep editing. Two on your list pop out right away so I took a look:

- NH has a Republican and Dem Senator and 5 of the last 8 governors have been Republican.

- Louisiana is definitely not "all red all the time". Ever heard of a crook named Mary Landrieu? The class 2 Senator from Louisiana has been a democrat since 1883 and the class 3 Senator is a Republican for the first time since 1868. Since 1877, Louisiana has had 4 Republican and 31 Dem Governors. Yes, all 4 have been somewhat recent but there has been at least one Dem in between each diff Rep to hold the office. It's clearly far more accurate to call Lousiana way more Blue than Red.

Should we go on or are you absolutely certain you were only dead wrong about those two? What do you have to say for yourself now that you've been "presented with the facts?"

Also, NY is blue because of the huge population of poor, uneducated people in NYC. The rest of the State, where you'll find the higher concentration of degrees, skews much more center-right if not conservative. Looking at the headline number and drawing sweeping conclusions from them is very irresponsible, but a favorite tactic of the lib-tards. Something you do a lot on this forum, when you're not making outrageous claims like the "bottom ten are all red all the time".

Didn't call Bob a name once. Just told him he was wrong about working the fryer being hard work. If anything, he was the one doing the name calling.

But I am proud of all the work I've done in my life. And I'm not telling anyone how much or little they should make - that's what you're team is doing. I'm saying they should get paid what their labor is worth - not more and definitely not less. Funny that a few months ago you were whining about the blisters you got when you tried unsuccessfully to pull a couple bushes out of the ground and now you're trying to discredit my opinion of what hard work is. You're a complete idiot and a jackass chump, but I gotta give you credit - you make me laugh more than anyone on this forum except Tinsel, but he's actually trying to make people laugh.

Lots of smart people on these boards. most of the left leaning states are also the most educated and wealthy

3rd factor. This is a correlation/causation issue. The republican/democrat split is mostly rural/urban. The education split is mostly rich/poor. Big cities generally have rich suburbs. There's your 3rd factor.

I looked at presidential elections because you're all voting for the same candidate as opposed to governors and senate races. There is a big difference between a republican that can win a blue state and sam brownback or someone like that. Hell, I voted for a republican governor, the far right has a lot less influence in Michigan than other states.

funny because Romney was a governor of a blue state and did a reasonably good job, he just had to pivot to a freakish poor hater to appease the base.

agree, republicans dominate the low income white voter. I think that correlates more with religion (and guns)than economics though, since liberal policies are more in line with their needs but it's all about guns, abortion, and god

All solid blue

Actually 9 of the top 10 most educated are blue, Virginia can be a swing state. All 10 of the least educated are all red, all the time

Uh-oh...

More from your list of "All Solid Blue" (we've already covered NH)...

Minnesota - 3 of the last four governors have been conservatives - 2 Republicans and Independent Jesse Ventura. Al Franken's seat was last occupied by a Republican, before that a conservative Independent appointed by Ventura. The other seat was occupied by Republicans from 1978 to 2001

New Jersey - mostly Dem senators but since 1994 the Governor's office has been occupied by a Dem for only 8 years. One resigned in scandal and another was the crook that ran MF Global. Interesting that Louisiana and NJ, two Blue or mostly Blue states are always among the top 3 states on the corruption index - along w/ the mostly blue state of Illinois.

Vermont - does it really even count? The population is smaller than Detroit.

Connecticut - mostly Dem senators but Governors office was Red from 1995 to 2011 and Republicans have held that office more than Dems historically.

More from your list of "all Red all the time" (obviously, you were dead wrong about Louisiana)...

Nevada - is Harry Reid a Republican? because he's been in the Senate from Nevada since 1987 and prior to him, at least every-other person to sit in that seat was a Dem. Similarly, Nevad's other seat has been occupied by a Dem almost 70% of the time for the last 100 years, most recently in 2001.

Arkansas - John Boozman (Rep) was elected in 2011 is the first Republican to occupy Ark's Class 3 senate seat since 1879 - Dems held it for 132 years. Dems have held the Class 2 senate seat since 2003 and since 1877 have held it for all but 6 years. The governor elect is a Republican but the office has been occupied by Dems way more than Republicans.

Alabama - prior to Sessions election in 1997, his seat was occupied by a Dem for the previous 106 years. The other seat is held by Republican Shelby but he was first elected as a Dem in 1987 - he switched parties in 1994. Prior to him, the seat was dominated by Dems - only Red for 6 of the previous 108 years. Alabama's had a handful of Dem Govs since 1970, and as recently as 2003

West Virginia - Class 1 senate seat has been held by a Dem since 1959. Class 2 seat just went Red last week but was Blue from 1958-2015. the last 3 and current Gov is a Dem and Dems have dominated that office for the last century. The reason Gore and Obama lost West Virginia is because of their campaign against coal - I guess all those Dem coal miners and towns tied to coal mining voted in their own best interest - imagine that...

I chose state Senate and Gubernatorial races for the same reason - because the residents of the states are all voting for the same candidates. You couldn't be more wrong w/ your sweeping generalization but I know you will never admit it.

 

[Spartanmack]

I think the point is that Dems dominate the low income urban voter. There are far more of them than wealthy suburbanites, who have a much higher percentage of college degrees but but whose vote doesn't really count. Even if that demographic reflects the overall populace (roughly evenly split Rep/Dem) their votes are swamped by the urban poor who greatly outnumber them.

starting a new thread, I actually want this one to be crazy quotes by democrats.

can't wait to hear the quotes about prominent democrats denying science and quoting Jesus to justify policy.

I doubt you'll get too many of the conservatives here wasting their time on something as petty as this thread. the only reason I posted here was to disprove your outrageous claims about the 10 most/least educated states being all blue/red all the time. You're clearly wrong about that but I know you'll never admit it, which is why i'm not going to bother reposting the proof from here to your new thread.

Go ahead and have your fun with this and the crazy Republican thread - but they're both most likely just going to be a circle-jerk between you, Thumb and Michturd. For the record, I hope Chump is the toast champion every time - he probably does too, but that doesn't make it any less satisfying to me.

Take your ball and go home

That only applies to quitters, not to people who don't get involved in the first place because they refuse to stoop to your level of petty partisan bickering. Good try though.

but you did get involved, then walked away. how does my comment not apply?

 

[Spartanmack]

but you did get involved, then walked away. how does my comment not apply?

you seem to need a lot of pretty simple things explained to you. I never posted any quotes by Dems or made any comments about posted quotes for Republicans or Dems - that's the petty partisan bickering i'm not getting involved in. You made the outrageous claim that the most/least educated states skew all blue/red all the time. I refuted that claim with a considerable amount of evidence, but still refused to get involved in commentary re: crazy dem/republican quotes. you then seemed to issue a challenge to me to post some crazy dem quotes but I continue to maintain the same position on that as I have from the start - I'm not getting involved because I think it's petty, childish and a complete waste of time. That's not poor sportsmanship, so your accusation of such doesn't apply.

it's a good idea to pick your battles, although you'll never admit it, you just can't beat the GOP for crack pot leaders.

It probably wouldn't be too hard to come up w/ some crazy shit from the Dem ranks but like I said, it's a childish argument. Plus, like Tinsel said, you would never admit that what they say or do is completely crazy.

It's not so much about picking my battles as it is about not wasting my time. But since you bring it up, have you ever hear anyone say it's a good idea not to pick your battles?
