:lol: I love how you just pulled that number out of your ass and act like it's a valid statistic.[QUOTE="NZgamer007"]Well only 1% of Obama supporters could name his policies they just vote for him for three reason; the colour of his skin, how he speaks, America wanting change.-Sun_Tzu-
Let me give it a try: Well you know, only .5% of Hillary supporters voted for her because of her policies. The rest just voted for two reasons: because of her last name and because she's a woman.
I obviously made that statistic up but you all know its right if you asked an Obama supporter a majority of the time they would say he will pull soldiers out of Iraq and it would stop there a higher percentage of people could name McCains or Clintons policies because they actually have to make policy to get supporters.man90 in case you don't know and live in a small little bubble America is th world's most powerful country and their decisions affect everyone.
[QUOTE="NZgamer007"]Well only 1% of Obama supporters could name his policies they just vote for him for three reason; the colour of his skin, how he speaks, America wanting change.inoperativeRSWell I have statistical evidence which states 69,2% of your posts are in some way patronizing people of different opinions than yourself. Beat that. Well 100% of your posts/opinions no one cares about
Here's an idea - get over it! ;) And since you like pulling statistics out of your ass so much, I got one for you: 100% of people could care less. Maniacc1Yet you post in this thread so you do care about my opinion.

...no, that proves nothing. Traditionally, around I believe 90% of African Americans vote Democratic, and whites tend to vote Republican. The statistics you site are fairly normal across the last couple of elections.

Well actually he isn't lying. SO many black voter for Obama just becasue he is.... Black. That is true.

:lol: yeah seriously, you people need to stop making up statistics (directed at NZ, not at Sun). I mean, come on, Sun has a point-if you want to argue that people voted for Obama because he's black, you could quite easily argue that people voted for Clinton because she's a woman. An example: my grandma usually votes Republican, but she voted for Hillary during the primaries because she's a woman.

I can't be bothered looking for the stats but you will find that around 60-70% of women the the primaries voted for Clinton, over 20% less.Well 100% of your posts/opinions no one cares aboutNZgamer007

Sweet, sweet irony.
Edit: glitchspot refused to let me quote NZ. :(
Ok then in South Carolina (A huge black population) 90% of them voted for Obama in the democratic primaries.NZgamer007
EDIT: Sorry, misread it. Okay, so what's your point? That proves that a lot of African Americans voted for Obama, not why they voted for him.
It's funny how people are saying "get over it, he won", yet those are most likely the people that whined about Bush for 8 years.naydaslayerYes how typical my I say. Inop if no one cared about my opinion they wouldn't of responded to this thread if they agree or disagree they still care about my opinion.

Doesn't explain why you responded to me though - not that it really matters. I'm interested in what you have to say, it would be ignorant to dismiss your opinions without letting you explain your point. The problem is though that you really don't have that much to say but still seem to believe so.
My opinion is in the title.... My point on the SC voting patterns is that only like 5% of black americans voted for Hilliary so most only really voted for Obama based on the colour of his skin not his beliefs/policies.

I would say that percent is voted democrat every four years anyway. They expect a handout when they vote liberal.

NZgamer007
Yes, and my point is that that's a bogus conclusion. You cannot conclude something like that based upon so little data. What if 90% actually just preferred Obama's policies?
Seriously, dude, get more evidence before you state conclusions like that...
Correlation does not imply causation.My opinion is in the title.... My point on the SC voting patterns is that only like 5% of black americans voted for Hilliary so most only really voted for Obama based on the colour of his skin not his beliefs/policies.
NZgamer007
And why do you say that? Let's look beyond race and gender for a second. Why did the majority of black South Carolina democrats vote for Obama? Well for starters he ran a better campaign and is arguably a better politician than Hillary.My opinion is in the title.... My point on the SC voting patterns is that only like 5% of black americans voted for Hilliary so most only really voted for Obama based on the colour of his skin not his beliefs/policies.
NZgamer007
Now lets explore other possible reasons why they voted for Obama. Obama began his career in the public eye as a community organizer, and worked in the inner-cities of the South side of Chicago. Now let's look at the black community of South Carolina. It is no secret that a significant portion of the black community lives in poverty. It is also no secret that the poverty rate in South Carolina is higher than the national average.
So why should the black voters of South Carolina vote for Hillary, an upper-class senator from New York, over a Obama, a man who has dedicated a significant portion of his life to the inner-cities of Chicago?

Well both Hilliary and Obama are both Democrat so I don't seem to see your point. It is strange that between two democrat has votes hugely in favour of one who just happens to be black. Conclusion; a majority voted for Obama because of the colour of his skin.[QUOTE="naydaslayer"][QUOTE="NZgamer007"]My opinion is in the title....

Doesn't matter though. You should be thanking Palin for giving Obama that extra injection of borderline voters in "teh finals".

Yes but I am saying that a majority of these voters don't know this - they may presume this - but they mostly don't know it for a fact. Really no matter how good your policies are you don't ever get 90% of the vote of one demographic because of them, you need an "outside factor" and in this case it was the fact that he was black. If Obama was not black Clinton would of won (The SC primary) based on the reputation the Clintons had/have with blacks,[QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"][QUOTE="NZgamer007"]And why do you say that?

If Obama was not black Clinton would of won (The SC primary) based on the reputation the Clintons had/have with blacks, And why do you just assume that the majority of black democrats who voted for Obama in the South Carolina primary don't know this? There's a reason why politicians campaign; they campaign to inform the average citizen about what they have done in their political career and what they stand for. Obama ran a better campaign than Hillary, and that is why he got more votes from the black community, and that's why he got more votes in general.But there's no way Hilary Clinton would have defeated McCain :| hamstergeddon
She probably would have, but there is no way she would have carried places like North Carolina and Virginia. I think she had a good chance at Kerry + Ohio + Florida, and maybe a few other places like Iowa and New Mexico.

Gosh are you reading what I am saying! Clinton and Obama are from the same party. That means there policies are similar. Regardless of who won the nomination they would of got around 90% of the black vote because of the party they are in. But in the Democrats primaries Obama somehow still got 90% even though another Democrat was in the primary aswell with similar policies. This means that there is another reason for why he got 90% of the vote. Is that enough?Please Log In to post.
