  6. Re:Duh. on Press Favored Obama Throughout Campaign · · Score: 0

    Just from that chart I linked, Carter lost it, 47% to Ford's 52% while winning the presidency.

    The last time a Democratic candidate won the majority of the white vote was in Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964, though I don't know what the break down was. President Johnson signed into law the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1968 as well as the Voting Rights Act.

    While in the Senate, Johnson helped pass the Eisenhower's Civil Rights Act of 1960 established federal inspections and penalties for voter registration, precursor to LBJ's Voting Rights Act.

    In the last 30 years, blacks have voted in the high 80th to low 90th percentile for the Democrats. With Obama outperforming Gore in that demographic by 5%.

    In the same time period Obama has also outperformed previous Democrats for the white vote, in fact, Obama is tied for 2nd with Clinton behind Jimmy Carter in white vote percentage.

    Implying all blacks voted along racial lines is bullshit, when in reality the racial line fell their way. It's akin to saying whites only voted for white presidents 43 out of 44 times, but whatever, keep your racist agenda up. The fortunate side effect of Obama drawing out all the racists, is at least they're out of the closet and can be summarily ridiculed.

    Compared to Gore (because he was the last democrat to win the popular vote) in 2000, Obama won 5% more blacks, and 5% more hispanics, 8% more asians, and 1% more whites. Tell me again who's voting along the race line?

    In 2000, Gore had 42% to Bush's 56% of white voters (and if you recall, Gore won the popular vote).
    In 1996, Clinton won with 42% to Dole's 46% of the white vote.
    In 1992, Clinton won with 39% to Bush's 40% (and Perot's 20%) of the white vote.

    What I'm saying here is that the media isn't reporting something that isn't newsworthy. The Democrats have lost the white vote since at least 1972.

    Given that IQ is calculated as (Mental Age/Chronological Age)*100 and
    Given that most college freshmen start college at a mental age of 18 (I know... bear with me...)
    His IQ could be estimated at LEAST 128.

    If he started college with a mental age of a sophomore, his IQ (at 14) would be calculated about 142. Is that such a stretch?
