PDS Alert: Us Weekly and friends are at it again
Photoshop: David Lunde
Left-wing bloggers have unearthed a new, Deep Important Issue to wield against Sarah Palin:
The personal tanning bed she installed at the governor’s mansion in Alaska.
She bought the used tanning bed from a health club with her own money.
So, what is the point?
Oh, wait, there is none.
But it’s a great opportunity for Palin-haters to mock her looks again and for Obama cultist publisher Jann Wenner to use Us Weekly to bash Palin again:
Some of the nutroots haters seriously argue that Palin’s tanning bed is a sign of “elitism” akin to John Edwards’ $400 haircuts.
Here’s the TPM Muckraker blog clucking its tongue:
“The news of Palin’s luxurious purchase — beds can cost as much as $35,000 — presents a sharp contrast to the blue-collar persona she projects on the campaign trail.”
Can they be more out of touch? Tanning beds have long been derided as “white trash” and “redneck.”
The “elitist” thing to do would have been for Sarah to have hired a personal umbrella carrier to shield her from the sun.
Next up: Us Weekly and company investigate the Sarah Palin’s eyebrow waxing appointments, Todd Palin’s beard grooming preferences, and the children’s dental hygiene habits.
America must know the truth!
***
Allahpundit points out the health benefits of tanning beds non-Alaskans have ignored. Having lived in Seattle for more than three years, I know exactly what light deprivation does!

On a related note, Us Weekly has now gone to Amazon.com for help in boosting its sagging circulation after its Palin-bashing debacle. (Guess the five-free issue offer from the rag’s customer service department flopped.)
A reader sends the e-mail notice he received yesterday from Amazon.com.

Huh?
Part of your problem is the belief that we are “hostile towards wealthy, diverse, international, well educated types.” We, ourselves, make up those people. Nice try at the backhanded compliment, but no deal.
The other part of your problem results from your obvious need to wield your diverse, international credentials around as some sort of badge of honor. That’s sad. All the while looking down your nose on those less fortunate than yourself and claiming to help them. When all you do is keep them in poverty. But I digress.
It isn’t about hostility or any kind of “envy”.
It’s the tendency of the wealthy and so-called diverse people to think they know what’s best the country and the tendency of them to attempt to enforce their standards on the rest of us.
It’s elitist.
The wealthy and powerful on both sides of the aisle in congress are guilty of it.
My post in response to Ilovemycountry… won’t post. Argghhhh
Give it up trolls, your just typing here to here a clicking noise on your keyboard. kos arguments don’t fly, they splatter like swoop and poop on a windshield, go back to your lil playgrounds and think up some more hogwash.
the libturds are scared….
It’s Killin em and

What do the Obama supports say to this?
supports = supporters…
John Edwards – probably why the liberals believed he was qualified with zero experience to be VP versus Palin – better hair.
And probably smoother hands, too!
Ahhhh yes, the arrogance of the gosspip rag on display. I see they haven’t learned their lesson. Will US Weekly go after Obummer for his high-priced fundraisers that bely his whole he cares about the little people meme? Since US Weekly is now on the hypocrisy trail let’s at least focus some of that attention on Obummer, the biggest hypocrite of all.
How ’bout all those lobbyists that work for Obummer and bundle all that cash for him? Will we hear about that? Of course not, the elite media isn’t interested in truth just results.
Whatever…. nice way to get those lost subscribers back I must say.
Does anybody know if Gov. Palin plans to put Air Force 2 on ebay?
ILOVEMYCOUNTRY:Those rich, diverse (homosexual and tranvestite), international,well educated types, manage to live in enclaves like fortified cities protecting themselves from the prolatariat riff-raff where all the crime, welfare, fraud, waste and abuse go on. They take care of themselves while the rest of those so-called cities rot under liberal, Democratic rule. All the libs offer is rhetoric and never any action.
BTW, why don’t we ever see those rich, well-educated liberals helping in the food lines and disaster relief efforts when there is a need? They’re about as scarce as Muslim relief agencies.
We, ourselves, make up those people. Nice try at the backhanded compliment, but no deal.
The other half results from your obvious need to wield your diverse, international credentials around as some sort of badge of honor. That’s sad. All the while looking down your nose on those less fortunate than yourself and claiming to help them. When all you do is keep them in poverty. But I digress.

Proof that the Dems have put on the Cloak of Stupidity in preparation for loosing the election. It’s 4 colleges. And so what? I went to 5 colleges in 4 years. Summers to both fill out credits and try something different, and one at an exclusive institution, and one switch for financial reasons. Obama went to Occidental College in LA for two years. Why? Maybe he couldn’t get in to Columbia without upping his grades after being a high school druggie layabout. Maybe not. Whatever, people follow different paths. I notice Palin went first to Hawaii Pacific. Fun but can be expensive so she switched back home. Wow – big deal.

Imagine what Ayers

In the words of Ayers, “Guilty as sin, free as a bird.”
Obama has murderous, radical friends who have a long-standing history of hating America, putting that hatred in deadly action, AND we have THEM on video.
Even if your nonsense was true, what exactly is it that you think America has to fear from Sarah Palin if she should become Vice President? Is she going to sign an executive order liberating Alaska? Wake up and smell the red herrings.
Going after Todd Palin as supposedly anti-American is a loser strategy because it opens up Obama’s wife for scrutiny. You don’t want that.
And ain’t it funny that Michelle’s trying to act like SHE’S “Mrs. Perfect” housewife all of a sudden? She couldn’t make it to Ground Zero on 9/11 because she had to register her daughters at school…right.
What’s happened to this blog, did it merge with the Daily Kos or was there an open registration for libs only? It sure seems like someone lifted up a rock and a number have come scurrying out based on the number of liberal posts recently.

Chances are the word went out from more tenured trolls that registration was opened, and they sent mass emails notifying the flying monkeys.

I live in San Francisco, and know: Liberals generally have a mob mentality. Conservatives, not so much. That’s what so striking about seeing the massive crowds for Palin and that other guy.
Where is the expose on how much Biden’s hair plugs cost?
Then how do you explain why a majority of blacks continue to vote for Dem who don’t seem to share their “socially conservative” values? How do you explain blacks “dumbly” giving their vote to Dems because they get freebies that an active democracy would never give?
You don’t like Sarah Palin. You and edelweiss put her down because she’s not your kind of feminist. Well there are millions of “pro-choice” women giving her a look. Your argument is just as flawed as the lack of any clear rationale why blacks continue to vote for Dems who don’t do anything but keep blacks poor and dependent on the government. Is that a political party that works for you?
Let me see…Todd Palin, as a Native Alaskan, may or may not actually believe that Alaska needs to revert back to being it’s own place.
B. Hussein ACTUALLY HAS really close and personal friends who have actively attempted the overthrow of the U.S. Government and have murdered people in the process. People who just may be placed in positions of power within his own cabinet. He has proven to have a failed ability to judge people who he keeps as close advisers, surrogate members of his family, etc. He surrounds himself with traitors and seditionists.
Since Todd Palin has no say in anything that goes on in the Government, nor is there any proof what-so-ever that there is any chance such a thing would ever occur, ot that GOVERNOR Palin would agree and thus suddenly sign papers releasing Alaska from the Union, why are people even bringing this up?
It is bad enough that the Libs have GOVERNOR Palin going against Hussein, but to pit her husband against him as well…now that is just grasping at straws that aren’t even in existence.
Face it. There is nothing out there on GOVERNOR Palin, and you guys can;t even make up anything remotely plausible. The more you spout off, the more you turn people off. The only ones saying anything are the same loud-mouthed fruitcake Libs who never know when to shut up as it is.
You are not winning anyone over to your side, but are, in fact, making people come over to our side. Congrats and keep it up.
Makes you wonder just how many of these trolls here are vegetarians or vegans. My guess is the lot.
As I’ve said over and over and over again, if you want to know why African Americans don’t vote Republican, just read some of the comments posted here.
And anyway, I posted this to one of the myriad people who already stated exactly what you just repeated:
may US magazine should start investigating to see how many of their management staff have personal perks at company expense…
Actually, she’s not my kind of candidate, period. I oppose her on nearly every point of import she supports.
That’s great and wonderful for them. Similarly, I might point out, there are millions of other women of diverse political ideologies who are not (and it’s easy to find examples). Women aren’t any more of a monolithic voting block than any other group. I’m simply saying that for me, Palin is the opposite of what I want in a leader — of any gender.
Any body willing to take a bet that nyk doesn’t even know palins real positions?
I think it is great that Liberals continuously accuse Conservatives of forcing our beliefs on them and everyone else.
My my my…what a load of hypocrites.
Stating her beliefs equates forcing them on people.
Yet just take a look at what they have done and are trying to do. Just use the comments from the trolls here, in case you didn’t want to go anywhere else. It is quite evident just whose beliefs are being shoved down who’s throats.
After all…I believe that abortion is murder. It ends a human life, the very definition of murder, yet I am being forced to have that same murder be committed daily in my city and state and country. Sounds pretty hypocritical of the Libs to complain about GOVERNOR Palin’s not just beliefs, but actions doesn’t it?
I know, I know, this will go completely over their heads and be lost in the eempty caverns that separate their ears. Just hought I would say…
nyk: “Actually, she’s not my kind of candidate, period. I oppose her on nearly every point of import she supports.”
Bully for you. She’s my kind of candidate, and I agree with EVERYTHING she supports.
That’s why you’re a liberal and I’m a Conservative.
Though exactly WHAT it is you oppose about her still isn’t clear. Is it the anti-Abortion stance? That she shoots moose? Everything else she “stands for” seems pretty much normal for an American.
I believe abortion should be a state rights issue. It is NOT why I would vote for or against anyone.
EXACTLY.
Aside from abortion, what do you object to nyk.
Want to flesh that out?
Actually, you’re not too keen on conservative thought or what conservatives think. Liberals support giving breaks to blacks and those who are poor because they’re in the patronage game. That’s what gets Dem votes and that’s what Republicans call them out on.
Actually, you’re not being honest at all. Posting a previous comment is not an answer it’s a redirection. Obama supporters may be supporting him for a variety of reason but one of them is because he would be the “first black candidate.” Do you refute this?
One more thing: I support Palin because she has similar views as I do and you disrespect that. I don’t care if she has a pair of ovaries. You don’t like her because she won’t support killing babies.
Palin’s association with the Alaskan Independence movement has been thoroughly debunked. But what is more interesting, and not addressed, is Obama’s association with the hawaiian Independence Movement. Heck, both Obama AND Biden voted FOR the Akaka bill that would have put Hawaii on the path to independence form the US:
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_090508/content/01125114.guest.html
NYK, can you please show me a policy point you disagree with Palin on besides abortion? Thanks.
Do I think there are any people that support Obama because he’s black? Of course. Do I think most do? Nope. Do I think it’s ironic that on a site where there is so much outcry about the idea that Obama’s supporters support him solely because he’s black (again — an idea I doubt the veracity of) that people are faulting feminists for not voting for Palin JUST BECAUSE she’s a woman? Yes. Very much so.
Anyway, if there are women who want to vote for Palin because she shares the same chromosomal make-up, that’s fine. I, personally, want to vote for candidates who share my politics. The End.
I will never understand, nor agree with, single issue voters.

She’s not your kind of candidate because she won’t BS around and pander like Obummer. You oppose her because you think the right to kill babies and gays to marry is more important than the interests of the country in general.
Perhaps, you should impart this wisdom to the black community, who is a monolithic voting bloc (except for those who are independent, conservative or don’t subscribe to your “values”). The veil around feminism has been removed to expose its liberal practitioners as the hypocritical frauds they are. If you agree that tearing down a woman because she had the gumption to keep her Down’s child is the right thing to do, then you belong in that category.
When you get beyond abortion, equal pay for equal work, gay marriage, and the other old standards of NOW, women have more in common than they think. Your viewpoint and overrealiance on the Planned Parenthood, “progressive” platform just divides women more. It takes more strength to say no to what’s easy, to not bow down to the easing of cultural mores, than to run with the same old “herd.” That’s why I respect Palin, and why I will never identify with people like you who seem to think that women who don’t subscribe to the liberal perspective aren’t real women too.
First of all, I will tell you that I know MANY Oblahma supporters, ALL of whom support him for one reason and one reason only – because he’s black.
The reason we fault feminists who won’t vote for Palin just because she’s a woman is simple: They CLAIM to be in favor of women holding office and high corporate positions. Their non-support of the vice president is DIRECTLY opposed to what they SAY they are for. What we are saying is simply that this is proof that they don’t support women in high office per se, but rather LIBERAL women who share their outlandishly stupid views.
It’s awesome watching them all thrash about. Sooo much fun, I must admit.

Abortion is a start. Her unwavering support for weapons possession (and, conversely, her opposition to gun control). The fact that she wants to teach Creationism to children (REALLY?). She’s pro-drilling, pro-war (and pro starting another one — including supporting our allies regardless of their reasoning, should they decide to launch an attack — and that’s her words, not mine), doesn’t believe in man-made global warming, wants to teach abstinence (solely) in schools (which, clearly, as Ms. Palin knows, isn’t always successful…). I can guess from what I know about her stances that she’s anti gay marriage. I suspect she would be in favor of cutting social programs. She would contribute to the idea of even more conservatives on the SCOTUS. I could go on and on.
That would be better than sex.
is guaranteed by the second amendment…
Yawn. You sound like another liberal that again is forcing the loosening of cultural mores on the rest of America. I’m sorry you don’t like traditional America.
A lot of your assertions have already been debunked such as the abstinence and creationism nonsense. She may be believe in them personally, but she didn’t push them as legislative issues in Alaska. If you genuinely call yourself an “informed voter” then do a little research.
I woke up when Goldwater Knight mentioned something better than sex…
The ways that you and I view the world lie at such polar opposite ends that I doubt I would even consider your vote “respectful” or “disrespectful” at all. Like apples and mangoes.
I don’t know what this has to do with what we’re talking about or what feminists have done this to her. I’d love for you to send me the link to the article where a feminist directly attacks Palin specifically for keeping her most recent born.
This is silly. Conservative women, by and large, DID NOT want to vote for Hillary. There are, conversely, many non-conservative women who DON’T want to see Sarah Palin in office. We’re all entitled to our values, our opinions and our votes.
Spoken by someone who lives in a big city and thinks that the “little people” should just walk to work.
Spoken by someone with little knowledge of the military or military alliances like NATO. If one member is attacked, then members of that alliance go to that member’s defense. As to Israel, if it has actionable intelligence that Iran is getting ready to nuke them and eliminates the threat and they need our backup, you better believe that the US will be there.
So, are you suggesting that the US become isolationist and walk away from alliances like NATO? Should the US sign on to treaties like the Kyoto (which its member signees are having trouble meeting its requirements), that also derails business but the national economy?
Please, for someone who says that conservatives really need to get out more, you need to live a little yourself. Do you ever wonder why the military and its veterans (including their dependents) have so little trust in Dems? For someone who values her “education,” you just come off sounding ignorant about something you really don’t undestand.
Are you one of Obummer’s Pooh advisers?

That’s why I stopped posting for a while. It is useless to engage them in civilized conversation. In fact, we have all broken the cardinal rule here…DON’T FEED THE TROLLS. Let’s try ignoring them, even though it is difficult not to respond to such idiotic drivel.
The second amentment gives her no choice.
False, she just said it should be discussed as an alternate theory.
That makes her the same as 70% of the usa.
I would have to see the quote to judge that one.
Niether do I. Because I actualy looked at the science.
False.
True, again putting her with most of the usa.
Guesses dont count.
Probably, but note how many of the items you think are true are not.

One thing about global warming I can’t resist mentioning…we are apparently starting a new cycle in the earth’s continuing cycles of warming and cooling. In a few years, global cooling will be the problem. Will Al Gorebutt claim that is also caused by humans? I guess if you say a lie often enough, it becomes true? Geez!
There’s not a single one that wasn’t true. Reread your “rebuttals.” Even if there is public support for some of her ideas (there’s public support for A LOT of bad ideas), or she’s willing to let, say, creationism (which I don’t believe should be taught in school) be instructed alongside evolution, etc., I still disagree with her. Completely.
Speaking of US Magazine. I once won a 1 year subscription to US Magazine by participating in a play along contest with ABC’s Who Wants to Be a Millionaire in the Regis Philbin days.. I really tried to read it to try to keep up with celebrity trivia, as I wanted to be a contestant. It was too painful to read and I had to stop.
This ALONE is a reason to vote for her. Get a little American pride back. A good war could do a lot for our economy and a SUCCESSFUL war, where we are not hampered by political correctness and engage with force of the Powell Doctrine, would knock liberalism back a decade…
Hmmm…by every measure I’ve seen, more troops have donated to Obama’s campaign than to McCain’s — and they’ve donated more money:
http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080814/military_donations.html?.v=1
(There are a ton of sources on this…a quick search of “Obama” “McCain” and “military donations” bring up hundreds of articles, lest you doubt the source.)
As of the time of that article, yes. You will also note they gave more to republicans overall in dollars and numbers of donors. Sorry nyk.
Can you send me a link? Just curious, because it didn’t come up in my searches.
Could this be part of the BLACK support of the Obama? I don’t know….
Yeah…still not seeing it. Kindly forward link. I’d like to read it! Thanks.
nyk
Also note that is is for money given up to MARCH 2008. It is now September so your figures are 6 months out of date.
I would like to know if US Weekly has ever accepted advertising for or featured tanning beds in any of their articles.
Geezzz nyk, give me a second to post it.
Sorry…
This was discussed on a previous thread. The contribution counts themselves were very low and could not truly show a reliable pattern; however, I grant that the statement that Obama’s campaign has received more money is true. However, if it makes you believe that this will also indicate how the military will vote, I’ll not dissuade you. Historically speaking, I believe it’s doubtful.
Interesting. Thanks for this, sonofdy.
Its been a common argument from the left that this article proves the military supports Obama, but like most of the Obama platform it simply is not reliable.
1) Abortion is a start. – You support the Planned Parenthood grist mill.
2) Her unwavering support for weapons possession (and, conversely, her opposition to gun control). – 2nd Amendment.
3) The fact that she wants to teach Creationism to children (REALLY?). – No she doesn’t. Factcheck.org bullet point #5 “Palin, Oct. 2006: I don’t think there should be a prohibition against debate if it comes up in class. It doesn’t have to be part of the curriculum. ”
5) She’s pro-drilling – uh yeah, DUH, Alaskans get a share of the revenue from oil pumped from there. They also know the environmental concerns are grossly exaggerated.
6) pro-war – I assume you mean Iraq War. Have you forgotten that now we’re winning that one? Obama says we can bring the troops home now.
7) and pro starting another one — (including supporting our allies regardless of their reasoning, should they decide to launch an attack — and that’s her words, not mine) – Georgia? Israel? To whom are you referring? Are you suggesting we not support our allies? Did she actually use the word regardless, or is that your exaggeration of her actual term?
8 ) Doesn’t believe in man-made global warming - So do a lot of people. Is the global warming on Mars man-made as well?
9) wants to teach abstinence (solely) in schools – Mischaracterization. A better term would be Abstinence Stressed Education. Contraception and STDs are part of it. It’s not just “Just Say No. ”
10) (which, clearly, as Ms. Palin knows, isn’t always successful…). – The failure to adhere to a moral standard by one of its proponents does not diminish the morality of the standard.
11) I can guess from what I know about her stances that she’s anti gay marriage. – So is most of the country, which is why liberals are using the courts to by-pass the voting booth.
12) I suspect she would be in favor of cutting social programs. – Based on her increasing the funding? Bullet Point #1. When Jesus said to give to the poor it was an individual, not collective, command. It is not the government’s job to be a charity funding clearinghouse. Grover Cleveland vetoed a bill to provide $10,000 worth of seed for some Texas farmers in a drought. In the veto message he wrote, “I do not believe that the power and duty of the General Government ought to be extended to the relief of individual suffering which is in no manner properly related to the public service or benefit. ” When his opponents tried to say he was heartless he challenged them to raise the money from private donations and started it with $100 of his own. Over $100,000 was raised.
13) She would contribute to the idea of even more conservatives on the SCOTUS. – From your mouth to God’s ear.
No, she said if it came up in a discussion she was ok with that.
Minor correction – he wants to bring the troops home after the election when he’s hoping to absorb the glory.
I worked midnight shift for over a year. After a few months, my energy was down and I was getting depressed more and more. A doctor friend of mine suggested going to a tanning bed because the lack of sunlight was lowering my vitamin D levels and dpression and low energy were some side effects. I took vitamin D and tanned and it really helped, especially during the winter when I slept until dusk during the day. I imagine Alaska must not be a good state for a lot of sun and if Palin wants to get a tanning bed with her own money…i don’t care.
But, thank you lefties, you guys are rooting for Palin, you have to be because you are all so wierd now I would not want anyone you think to be a good politician in charge…and even my more liberal friends are starting to agree with me!!
Okay. But this article you sent:
http://www.airforcetimes.com/news/2008/05/army_militarydonors_050408w/
dates from early May. The article I presented:
http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080814/military_donations.html?.v=1
is from mid-August (hence the higher totals for both Obama and McCain in the article I sent). Yes, combining the Paul and McCain totals (from May) gave the Republican PARTY a higher total in donations, but in the current two party/two individual race, the highest number of funds from the highest number of donations have gone to Obama.
I don’t think this necessarily is a definitive measure of how voting will occur, but it is, nonetheless, interesting, since military donations have generally gone (in both number and highest sum) to the Republican candidate.
All you’ve shown is that she, indeed, supports many of the ideas I’m against (and which you’re for). As a poster said here earlier, that’s what makes you a conservative and me a liberal — and a non-supporter of either Palin or McCain.
We have shown that many of the liberal talking points about the woman are flat out lies.
Nyk you shouldn’t have kids.
And you’ll never get close enough to a girl for that to even be a concern.
Anywho! Thanks for the advice!
This complaint of “elitism” comes from the same worshipers who faint when the Snobby One speaks in front of marble pillars. They ignor all the signs of a Greek Tragedy in the making.
They need to be reminded that it’s not Sarah Palin who’s putting on airs. It’s Obama who has

Living in Seattle/Tacoma area is a world of difference than living in Juneau/Anchorage, Alaska when it comes to SAD. I know. I lived in the Tacoma area for 10 years before moving south. I never had a problem in Tacoma. Either, people are imagining that they have SAD in Seattle or that they are a bit sensitive to not getting enough vitamin D sunlight. It’s most likely because people have to put up with cloudy and opaque days rather than less sunlight hours in the Alaska area due to the further northern latitude.
It’s most likely because people have to put up with cloudy and opaque days rather than less sunlight hours in the Alaska area due to the further northern latitude that gives them their daily funk.
Or maybe she just wanted one. GGGEEEZZZ its her money…
You’re right if they’re all like yourself.
I’d rather smash the jewels between two bricks.
Whats SAD is every time there’s a PDS thread the trolls come out with their same tired old kos dialogue that has been debunked over and over. Think about it, all they have so far from sending out 300 slime balls to Alaska is her sons an agressive hockey player (lol) and she has (heaven forbid) a tanning bed… roflmao

Oh, right. You don’t know what we’re like. Maybe one day one will finally let you near enough to find out!
(But I wouldn’t hold my breath.)
I know how Sarah can get this “tanning bed” issue out of media coverage.
All she has to do is say she bought it from Tony Rezko at a discount.
The mainstream media will immediately declare it a non-issue not worthy of looking into and we’ll never hear about it again.
You don’t even have what it takes to hold a conversation with me. You probably don’t even have the hand strength to cock the hammer on a measly 38.
Nyk have fun dating your glam rockers.
Could you please stop being vulgar? Is this sentiment the height of what stands for liberal womanhood?
As to your knowledge of the military, donations, and voting patterns, your knowledge (like that of alliances) would fit on the head of a pin. Many of the young bucks (both officer and enlisted) may fall for Obummer’s con but many of the vets and those who’ve been in the military longer have been through multiple administrations.
Unless you have actual “proof” of voting patterns instead of the empty drivel that poses as a press covering the military, then please continue reaching. The military, while predominantly Republican in voter identity, also is composed of conservatives, Dems, moderates, and independents.
Don’t mind me, it’s not like those military absentee voters count much for liberals such as yourself.
I also refuted your “mischaracterizations and distortions” of several of those positions (e.g. Creationism, Abstinence).
You never answered this.
Lower donations to McCain at that time could just as easily be attributed to the soldiers disgust at RINOs, and their decision not to support the Republican Party.
I’m not enlisted, just have friends who are, and that’s why they and I haven’t donated until now.
BDS-related: At last, the answer to the question we should all be truly concerned about: Is it possible to see Russia from Alaska? Thank you, Slate. It only took around 500 words (and four expert consultants) to explain it. And thanks, Yahoo, for putting it in your “Featured” headlines.
That would be PDS, not BDS. This time.
Wanna see Russia from the USA? go to an Odopey rally.
It’s curious to see how puritanical you become when a liberal responds in kind to a conservative’s base comment — to which, incidentally, and quite hypocritically, you say nary a word, ever. But so is your way — and if nothing else, I respect consistency, however cowardly.
emjem, the only proof I have is the studies conducted by national survey groups on this sort of thing. I have neither the resources nor the time (or interest) to conduct them myself. If you’d like to publish the results of your own (non-anecdotal) evidence, have at it. I more than welcome your analytical and statistical insights.
Yes, I did, and I have NUMEROUS other times. Review some of the articles here and read the comments. I’m simply saying, there’s a reason that, overwhelmingly, people of color (across the board) vote Democrat. I was never more aware of the reason than I became once I began reading the comments on this site.
