Liberals Embrace the Smug Life

[BWG]

Oh no, it's been refuted already.


Courtesy of CaptainCourtesy:


"There are two types of people who, though not being liberal, try to define liberals:

1) Uneducated conservatives who, since they are illiterate, have learned everything they know about liberalism from watching right wing pundits on TV.
2) Stupid right wing hacks for whom the extent of their political intelligence is 'right wing good, left wing bad'. These people tend to avoid watching the pundits because they use too many 'fancy' words like 'the'.

This is not all conservatives, but for both of these groups of people, it is important to remember that their opinion is meaningless, since, as one can see from points 1 and 2, they are incapable of defining the term that they are attempting to define."

3.) People that have spent too much talking to liberals about politics and have concluded that liberals really are terrible.

4.) If you affirm 3, see 2.

Lol, no he didn't. He won that **** fair and square.

Is that why some precincts in Ohio did not report one vote for Romney? Yeah, that's impossible.

The table shows that Romney received no votes in 17 precincts in Cleveland. Romney also was shut out in one precinct in East Cleveland. That's 18 total precincts in Cuyahoga County where Romney received no votes.

In 21 districts in Wood County Ohio, Obama received 100% of the votes where GOP inspectors were illegally removed from their polling locations — and not one single vote was recorded for Romney. (Another statistical impossibility).

A precinct-by-precinct breakdown of the official voting results from Wood County, Ohio, for the 2012 election shows that Barack Obama received nowhere close to 100% of the votes cast in any of that county's 97 precincts. The highest percentage he achieved in any one precinct was 75.5%.

In Wood County Ohio, 106,258 voted in a county with only 98,213 eligible voters.

The official Voter Turnout statistics for Ohio show Wood County recorded a total turnout of 64,342 voters, an amount far smaller than the number of registered voters in that county (108,014).

I guess the question I have for the author is:

"If you claim 'their message was repellent to the masses', why have the Dems won the national Presidential vote every-time for the past two decades"?

There seems to be a disconnect between that claimed, and votes cast.

Wow, didn't know George W. Bush, who won the elections in 2000 and 2004, was a Democrat! I guess you learn something new every day!

it's very true that liberals are infected with smugness.... we see it every day.



that's not to say conservatives aren't any better though... they have their own brand of smugness we have to contend with.

And yet the source you provided was so much better. Oh wait....you didn't provide one.

I sure did.

Sorry. Saw it in another post. From your link.

"Using standard measures of probability, given the overall distribution of percentages in the county's precincts," he said, "I find that a zero percent vote for Romney, though somewhat unlikely, is also entirely feasible."

Conversely, he said, those same demographics suggest it is "virtually impossible Obama would receive zero votes" in the county’s precincts. It may be surprising that no Romney votes were found in some precincts, Salling told us, "but it is a far reach to suggest fraud as the explanation."

The claim that Mitt Romney received no votes in more than a dozen precincts in Cleveland may seem amazing. But voting history, registration, demographics and statistical analysis say it is both feasible and credible. The Board of Elections says it is actually understated.

You own link says it's not only possible, but feasible.

I used the link to show it happened. That they made excuses shows they are biased.

Let me use an analogy that might help you here. 100 students at Alabama are polled about the most valuable football player in the SEC. The best player on Auburn received no votes. Romney is that Auburn player.

feel free to specify what i go wrong?

Man, you really should actually read your source, it will save you from looking silly. Here, let me quote from your source:

"Using standard measures of probability, given the overall distribution of percentages in the county's precincts," he said, "I find that a zero percent vote for Romney, though somewhat unlikely, is also entirely feasible."

Conversely, he said, those same demographics suggest it is "virtually impossible Obama would receive zero votes" in the county’s precincts. It may be surprising that no Romney votes were found in some precincts, Salling told us, "but it is a far reach to suggest fraud as the explanation."

So your own source says you are wrong...

 

[Redress]

So bias is anything you disagree with. That makes it really hard to take anything you say seriously...

No it isn't. That's cleared up.

 

[Redress]

No it isn't. That's cleared up.

Then maybe you should explain why statistics disagree with you, but you are right?

 

[Chomsky]

Wow, didn't know George W. Bush, who won the elections in 2000 and 2004, was a Democrat! I guess you learn something new every day!

I think you should examine my statement a little more carefully, then reconsider your statement.

Votes != Electoral College

However I do stand corrected for 2004 - thanks for bringing that to my attention.

So my statement should read: "The Dems have won the national vote in all Presidential elections for the past several decades, except for 2004".

The point being, more votes are cast Dem than GOP nationally.

But the larger point here, is: The statement that claims "liberalism has been repellent to the masses", is patently untrue! And that was my main point!

Limited Power Govt and Free Market Capitalism have made America the greatest most prosperous nation in all human history. The Right wing wants to maintain this. The Left wing wants to undo this. So "Right Wing Good / Left Wing Bad" is accurate.

Wrongo. Conservatives always, always support more powers for the government. If someone tells you that more laws are needed, if someone is trying to limit or remove freedom from someone else, if someone is advocating more powers for police and more powers of surveillance for government agencies, throwing more money at the war on drugs and homeland security and building walls on borders ferchristsake, you're talking to a conservative.

Actually, it was the opinion about those statistics I disagree with.

Statistically, it is not impossible, and not even a particular long shot. More unlikely things happen every day. This is not opinion, this is fact.

Is cheating or voter fraud possible? Voter fraud is a fact. And we are off topic, unless you are being smug about this.

There is no evidence of voter fraud in this case. All evidence points to voter fraud being very small.

Fascism is another danger of a large all powerful government. Like Socialism, Fascism requires a large all powerful government to function. American Libertarians and Conservatives don’t qualify to be Fascist because their most fundamental desire is individual freedom and limited power government.
