After Tuesday Nights' Wins, Santorums Poll Numbers Double

[Navy Pride]

Like this one?

I could go into a multitude of reasons as to why the military is a dictatorship but I won't.........I will say there are different kinds of dictatorships and the Military is not like Stalin's

Blacks tend to vote for democrats, and in similar numbers. Whites tend to vote republican.

The reason for that is Democrats promise them the moon to get their votes. Republicans don't..........When Obama was running for Prez I saw several man on the street interviews where the interviewer told the people the opposite of where Obama stood on the issues. The black people interviewed said they knew that and that is why they were voting for him.....Yeah right.

Moderator's Warning:

Two things. This thread is about Santorum and his prospects to to win the GOP nomination based on Tuesday night's wins, AND the personal attacks stop now.

Republicans promise the moon to rich donors.

Just saw this. Super Tuesday is going to be fascinating.

What a mind, awesome!!!

 

[Pointy]

I think of the 3 candidates, he is about in the middle in terms of difficulty for Obama to run against. Gingrich would be painfully easy for Obama, Santorum mostly easy, and Romney could be challenging. However, as Romney keeps acting like a dick, Santorum could actually be the most challenging for Obama, though never difficult.

How does he do this? simply awesome!!!

 

[Pointy]

Why would moderates rally behind Santorum? He is very much not moderate.

I know you have the mental capacity to answer your own question.

 

[Pointy]

This is interesting: Intrade has Romney under 70 % to get the nomination. Obama however is at 59 % to win in November, which is well up from where he was.

Goodness!!! A betting man as well.

 

[iguanaman]

96% of all balcks voted for Obama, a lot who had no clue about politics. That is not racist. You know I am no racist. I am surprised you would make that statement because although your a liberal you are usually fair.

The vote percentages of African Americans given to Democrats and Repiblicans in recent elections are as follows:

1984 Walter Mondale 90% Ronald Reagan 9%
1988 Michael Dukakis 90% George H.W. Bush 10%
1992 Bill Clinton 83% George H.W. Bush 10%
1996 Bill Clinton 84% Bob Dole 12%
2000 Al Gore 90% George W. Bush 9%

So your point is?

 

[Pointy]

I'd say absolutely not, though I do think he would implement single payer health care if it was politically feasible.

Apart from his cronies (Unions) and a few other hangers on, isn't this what he has more or less pushed through???

 

[Pointy]

It's laughable that people think "moderates" will line up behind Santorum. What's moderate about his position on anything?

You might have opined thusly 'What's moderate about his stated position on anything.

 

[Pointy]

This is false. Ever hear of Medicare?



What I am asking is why some one would vote for a candidate who is further from their views.

Medicare fund has been paid for out of the Wages of those who worked.
Democrats are the ones who included Medicare funds from their protected fund INTO an UNPROTECTED General fund, and thereafter wasted the money as Democrats are wont to do always.

With regards to your second point, i personally would not care to suggest a solution for you, perhaps you may work that out for yourself.

The insanity is not in the traditional viewpoint of economic conservatism, but in the whacked out views of so-called social conservatives who deny science (global warming, evolution)

1. there is nothing illogical about the stance that denies evolution (i disagree with it, but it is logically coherent)
2. it is also not "pro-science" to believe in anthropogenic global warming, and there are plenty of scientists of all political stripes who think that it is being overblown at best and isn't a factor at most.

insist on injecting religion into politics

what you mean like President Obama telling us Jesus supports his tax increases?

and who consistently believe things that are demonstrably untrue (Obama is a Muslim/Kenyan/socialist/Marxist).

eh, one could make an argument for socialism, arguing that corporatism is a subset of that philosophy. I don't know if it would hold up airtight, but one could make that argument.

irrespective, perhaps you can link Santorum arguing that Obama is a Muslim or a Marxist? Personally I suspect the man is at best agnostic.

I think there are probably as many democrats as there are Republicans.............Bill Gates and Warren Buffet come to mind and that Greek who funds moveon.org . Th site that called one of national hero General Petraeus a traitor.

Apparently my point went over your head.

2000 Al Gore 90% George W. Bush 9%

So your point is?

Why didn't you add 2008 when it was 96% for Hussein Obama. Even hardcore black Republicans like Armstrong Williams voted for him because he is black DUH!!, your point is?

1. there is nothing illogical about the stance that denies evolution (i disagree with it, but it is logically coherent)

Haha. Yes, denying 120 years worth of modern scientific study in about a dozen different fields because you believe in a fairy tale isn't illogical. Clearly saying that the bible, a book written 2000 years ago by scientifically ignorant men is more knowledgeable about the origin of species is logical. Clearly.

 

[Navy Pride]

Apparently my point went over your head.

Maybe so, that sometimes happens I think you were saying that Republicans only care about the rich and I responded that some of the richest are democrats

 

[CaptainCourtesy]

Why didn't you add 2008 when it was 96% for Hussein Obama. Even hardcore black Republicans like Armstrong Williams voted for him because he is black DUH!!, your point is?

OR they voted for him because of McCain.

 

[Navy Pride]

Haha. Yes, denying 120 years worth of scientific study because you believe in a fairy tale isn't illogical. At all.

Come on Hatuey try and be fair. There are just as many people that believe the opposite but we are getting way off topic ass CC has said.

 

[Navy Pride]

OR they voted for him because of McCain.

not when interviewed and they say that they know Obama is pro life and pro Iraq and they voted for him.

 

[Hatuey]

Come on Hatuey try and be fair. There are just as many people that believe the opposite but we are getting way off topic ass CC has said.

Ummm believe in what opposite? Be fair to who? To what? The ridiculous claim that evolution isn't a far more logical answer to how humans and every other living being in the universe came to be? I don't have to be fair to nonsense or religious fanatics. On the contrary, they should be exposed for what they are. That includes you and your attacks on homosexuality.

 

[CaptainCourtesy]

not when interviewed and they say that they know Obama is pro life and pro Iraq and they voted for him.

Here's my guess, NP, and though I have no research that backs it up, I'd imagine it's accurate. There were undoubtedly SOME blacks who voted for Obama because he was black... just as there were some whites who voted AGAINST Obama because he was black. These folks were a vast minority of people who voted. Blacks, historically, always vote for Democrats, and often the more liberal, the higher percentage. Obama is pretty liberal, so more blacks voted for him. But, the point that you seem to be trying to make, that more blacks voted for Obama because of skin color is VERY minor, and is equaled out by whites who voted against him because of skin color.

 

[Redress]

1. there is nothing illogical about the stance that denies evolution (i disagree with it, but it is logically coherent)

Ummm...actually yes it is illogical to deny a theory that has withstood every single test put to it.

2. it is also not "pro-science" to believe in anthropogenic global warming, and there are plenty of scientists of all political stripes who think that it is being overblown at best and isn't a factor at most.

The vast perponderance of the evidence is that man has contributed to global warming. You can say it is not proven, but to deny it is extremely likely is silly.
