Copped this from Jayk in joke thread, it came with a barf bag but I used it. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=987852
Yeah, anyway. I'd like to be there when you explain to your grandchildren why you voted for Carter. 20+ % interest rates, record unemployment, inflation doubled in 4 years. You don't think the red states should be allowed to breed? Looks like the blue sections have the most crime... better rethink your attempt to downplay those evil hardworking folks.
I did not vote for Carter, people who did vote for Carter could not know what his record and legacy would be. When they found out four years later they did not re-elect him (unlike idiots who reelected GWB). Nevertheless you may want to read this: "Carter worked hard to combat the continuing economic woes of inflation and unemployment. By the end of his administration, he could claim an increase of nearly eight million jobs and a decrease in the budget deficit, measured in percentage of the gross national product. Unfortunately, inflation and interest rates were at near record highs, and efforts to reduce them caused a short recession." http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/jc39.html FYI Bush has created three million [low paying] jobs during the last 5 years, The Five Most Crime-Infested Big Cities 1. Dallas 2. Detroit 3. Phoenix 4. San Antonio 5. Houston The Five Safest Big Cities 1. New York 2. San Diego 3. Los Angeles 4. Philadelphia 5. Las Vegas http://flakmag.com/opinion/shredder40.html You understand what those blue and red colors represent, don't you? Would you like me to post statistics about absolutely disastrous rate of divorce in the Bible Belt?
San Diego is not blue city. New York got staightend out by a Republican Mayor. And crime based on reported crime is a self directed stat. It is almost meaningless. Try reporting Crime in some big cities when no one was injured and you will understand.
Flakmagazine? There's some good "non-partisan" articles on that site!!! So what doodoo and Mr. Norton are really saying is that the inner city liberals in red states commit more crimes than the inner city liberals in blue states in 2004! OK, I agree!! Well done. Sorry, I don't care about the divorce rate in the bible belt.
Death rates from motor vehicle accidents are 75% higher in Red than in Blue States (1.9 vs 1.1 deaths per 100 million miles traveled). Occupational fatalities were 7.9 per 100,000 workers in Red states and one-half that (3.8) in Blue states. Workers are more than twice as likely to die on the job in Red states as in Blue states. Red states had an average of 23.9% tobacco smokers whereas Blue states had 20.5%. Infant mortality rates are 57% higher in Red state than in Blue states (8.3 deaths per 1,000 live births in Red states vs 5.3 in Blue states). You are safer and healthier in a Blue state than in a Red state. In education, the high school graduation rate (percent of incoming ninth graders graduating) averaged 61.3% in our Red states and 73.4% in our Blue states. Blue states had a 12.1% advantage. Child poverty was more prevalent in Red states, with an average of 19.6% compared to an average of 14.1% in Blue States. Violent crimes (offenses per 100,000 population) has scattered data but the average for Red states is 499 vs 357 in Blue states. http://www.my-oped.com/stories/storyReader
2nd sentence in article: "In the Red states over 40% voted Democratic and in Blue states over 40% voted Republican." Also, the author picked 8 red states and 8 blue. Why not all of them? What exactly does this prove? Doesn't seem like a thorough analysis. This is almost as bad as getting your political views from flakmagazine.com. That would be like some radical right winger copy/ pasting junk articles from Newsmax.com.
That sure beats your claiming that "the blue sections have the most crime"...without providing any links or sources.
just watch.. today's conceited neocon voter will be tomorrows needy socialist, demanding intervention to cushion their declining standard of living. they'll probably even have the nerve to blame it on immigrants
dddooo, the more you post, the more hysterical you become. You've posted on other threads that so-called "right-wingers" sound a lot like Nazis vis a vis their beliefs. The above statement of yours is disturbingly similar to the Nazis you so love to equate the right to. You're a true disciple of Zzzzz. Before you know it, you'll be in rehab, divorced, and living alone with only Chit Chat to occupy your time and be your sole forum of "social" interaction.
