Data from CNN exit polls.

2008 was pretty flat once you got past $30,000-$50,000. 2004 & 2006 show a fairly notable inverse correlation between income and voting Democratic. Neither is a bell curve.


Nice data. Not remotely what I was talking about, of course. But nice anyway!

"People who voted for a given party for a given race in a given year" is not the same as a party demographic. But you took the time to format all that data, so good on you I guess...

Right, right... you wouldn't want to use any meaningful metric when you can just make up your own on the fly and insist that it really must be real because you said so.

It's OBVIOUS!!!

4 elections of data over 6 years is "a given race in a given year?"

Funny too how the trends hold solid no matter if it's a strong GOP year, a strong Democratic year or something in between.

Well, 2008 was entirely anomalous in regards to how the richest demographic voted. But clearly the wealthy business owners saw Obama as the man they wanted that year right?

Quite certain the vegetarian war veteran with a straight up "I'll totally save the country. Just you watch me." plan seemed pretty cool at the time. He just "forgot" to mention the whole world domination/genocide thing is all. Just about anyone could forget something as minor as that.

What part of this is confusing you?

Poor stupid people actually believe the Democrats when they tell them they're going to get something for nothing.

Oh, I got what you meant. So you're saying that if you had less money you'd vote Democrat?

Aethia,

Quite simply, which I know you love, each person is responsible for their actions and ones actions determine where they end up, be it financial, spiritually, or ideologically.

This is why Democrats run to govn, or simply quit (like Obama's entire economic team), when life doesn't turn out the way they think it should. This is also why nearly 75% of people making less than 15k annually vote Democrat. The Democrats tell them it's not their fault; they're in the situation they're in because of oppressive govn, oppressive corporations, racism, prejudice, bigotry, or whatever other excuse they allow these losers to pin their current situation on.

S'funny how, on the one hand, varus and folk like him, argue for self-determination leading to eventual personel outcome in matters of finance, business, economics, social responsibility etc, which in other words are 'survival of the fittest' or 'reap the fruits of ones labours' type scenarios, where the strong do well, and go on to enjoy their successes, which is the basic theory of evolution, where organisms that adapt to survive and become successful, but when it comes to actual Evolution, they reject in in favour of Creationism which has no room whatsover for the same ideas.

Seems somewhat contradictory to me.

I dunno... according to Gbaji, the richest people in the universe are all Democrats as well. So I guess failures like Varus are a bunch of chumps if they can't reach Democrat-level awesomeness.

Paula,

Well for one there's a big difference between societal and biological evolution.


Quote:
Darwin's theory of evolutionary selection holds that variation within species occurs randomly and that the survival or extinction of each organism is determined by that organism's ability to adapt to its environment


This does not mean that one species can evolve into another no matter how many times radical liberals tell people they evolved from apes.

You sure do like to use the word "failure" a lot. I guess it's something you liberals are all to familiar with.
