For the record, nobody was trying to ban abortion, nobody was trying to ban contraceptives, and nobody was trying to bring back the stone age. It's called scare tactics. Just because they work on the "smart people" does not make the irrational fears real

Isnt a significant portion of conservative america trying to do that?
Isnt it within their democratic right (to try)?

Well for me and all my female friends, it was the dumbass comments on rape that did it. No one had to tell us anything, the ignorant comments made by Romney, Murdouck and that other guy were pretty easy to understand, even for us womenfolk in between our cooking and laundry chores.

And if Romney ran his election based off his actions instead of his [ever-changing] words, he probably would have won.

And would you feel the same way, if, Obama, or Joe Biden said the same exact thing? or something even worse. Hey, I heard Joe Biden saying something about putting black people back in chains, or something.
Does that mean the Democrats are all racist? And that Republicans are totally awesome?

Roe vs Wade? Really? Demagoguery for simpletons. Another example of the mass ignorance Obama banked on to win (successfully). Meaning of course you're probably right. How sad is that?
It's pretty ignorant to say that Obama voters are deluded. The Republican base is, has been, and will likely always forever be the "less thinking" demographic. The problem isn't that the voters aren't getting the Romney message, the problem was that with today's mediums, they got the message loud and clear. If I have the choice between the lesser of two evils, I'm going to go with the Reagan evil instead of the Rand evil.

You missed the point of what I was responding to entirely. Entirely. So did Greek.
There is a correlation between education and which candidate you support. So to say that only ignorant people voted for Obama, sounds scandalous at best, and racist at worst.thegreekdog wrote:Oh for f*ck's sake. This again?

No, but it is a strongly suggestive wink when all the best educated states went one way, and all the worst educated states went the other way. You should see the sates divided by GDP per capita. Looks quite similar.
In an interesting result, level of education seemed to make little difference in a particular voter's preference. Obama led Romney by only 2 points among college graduates, 50 percent to 48 percent, almost exactly the result in the general population.
And Obama only did 1 point better among voters who don't have a college degree.
In fact, the more education a voter had, the more likely they were to vote for Romney, to a point, though the gap never increased beyond 4 points. However, among voters with the highest levels of education, those with schooling beyond the undergraduate level, support for Obama jumps to 55 percent, and drops to 42 percent for Romney, a 13-point gap not seen where else along that spectrum.

Does that mean there is no backwards ass wrong way to invest in education, and no smart and efficient way to invest in educatio? Or does that not even matter to you...
What is the return on the investment Hitler made on Germany's education?
In America, we are spending more on education every single year, and the returns actually are getting worse and worse. What "history" are you citing?
