Gary M Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 your hand waving away my argument doesn't advance yours. 80000 liberty (uh, Jerry Falwell) students implies some relevance to me. How many would it take to make them relevant to you? 313,000,000 population of the US 80,000 = 0.00025559105 percent = not relevant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeYouToTasker Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 birdog1960: I've done your work for you! You can thank me later. The population of the United States is roughly 314,203,076 according to the US Census website. The percentage of Americans who self-identify as conservative polls at 40% according to Gallup. The daily viewership of the 700 Club is reportedly at around 1,000,000 according to Wikipedia. So, even allowing your dubious assertion that 100% of the 700 Club's viewers are both conservative and hold offensive views about rape, once we've done the math we find that they form a whopping 0.796% of the conservative population of American. Substantial indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blzrul Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 "legitimate rape," pregnancy is rare because "the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down." Go ahead defend it These right-wing extremists believe that it's "legitimate" rape when the rapist beats, chockesm, cuts, shoots and stomps the victim to the point where there's no doubt he/she was forced. Just saying "no" isn't enough. If you don't bite, claw, scratch, kick and scream loudly enough - it wasn't rape,. And you get pregnant. Unless you're a guy who gets raped. And he's not isolated. Their beliefs are reflected in their "pro-life" legislative proposales. Teabaggin Republicans - with them, it's 1952 or bust! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxrock Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 By the way, if you've seen the polls after this came out by PPP you should know the following: CORRECTED PPP Numbers for Missouri Since PPP decided it can't help itself, I've done you all a service. I went through their ridiculous R+9 sample and ONLY changed the D/R/I proportions to match previous elections, and an even turnout. With R+9, PPP's headline screams Akin up by 1. It is an obvious, sick ploy to get this delusional Bio101 flunkie to stay in and cost us a seat. Here are the real numbers: If turnout in November matches 2008 (it won't): McCaskill 49.25% Akin 39% (this is a D+6 turnout model) If turnout in November is even, an incredible feat for the GOP considering heavy turnout in St Louis and Kansas City during an election year: McCaskill 47% Akin 40%. If turnout in November matches the best we have ever seen in the state (R+3 during 2010): McCaskill 45% Akin 41%. McCaskill is a dead duck if we dump Akin. The other candidates from the primary were crushing her up and down. To trail her by four in a best-case scenario is inexcusable at this point. The fact that PPP had to triple the best R margin ever just to get Akin over McCaskill screams agenda polling, but they will never admit to that, so I'm calling them out on it, and it's time for you to spread the word. PPP's "Akin still leads" poll is garbage, the approval rating for Akin with this huge R spread is a God-awful 24%, and McCaskill hasn't cut one rape ad yet. Akin. Must. Go.

IDBillzFan Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Teabaggin Republicans - with them, it's 1952 or bust! Just when you think birdog is the king of progressive stupidity, look who shows up to fight for the crown. So since Akin represents all right-wing extremists, I guess all progressives believe Guam will tip over if too many people stand on it? And all progressives believe the people who name hurricanes hate black people because they won't name a hurricane Janiqua. And all progressives believe there are Klingons in the White House. See how unbelievably stupid you sound? Probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you speak it? they say that cursing is a sign of a weak mind and vocabulary...try real clear politics or politico. i'm sure you can find the percentage of self declared republican evangelicals state by state.in the meantime, your cursing is amusing.

birdog1960 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) cnn exit poll numbers from 2008 prez election showed 26% voters self identified as evangelicals/fundamentalists. 74% of these voted for mccain/palin. by my math, nearly 1/5 mccain voters were self described evangelical. if you don't find this a substantial contingency of the repub party then we have nothing further to discuss on this subject. can't link 2ndary to browser problems but should be simple enough for ya'll to confirm.

And certainly not in the same divisive way that abortion is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
