I guess I can see how it's so easy for someone like yourself to be so unhinged from reality. When folks like me seem so far to the left, it's only because you've swung so far to the right you can no longer see the middle. :laugh:

Agreed. This country is very conservative. After all it was founded by kooky, hyper-religious zealots so annoying they were kicked out of their own country.
I am glad you did exactly as I predicted, harp on that one point to avoid the discussion of the 93 to 94 trend and the fact that the change in liberal/conservative/moderate identification over the last 2 decades is stastically marginal given the 1% margin of error.

You are correct in theory, the problem is Texas like a few other states haven't even bothered to turn in complete county by county tallies for a presidential election in decades, and for the rural counties that do turn in a tally it usually reflects close to 100% voter turnout
The truth is in big cities polling places are few and far between with long waiting lines so turnout is always small percentage wise and the rural counties don't even bother talling votes they just turn in the county population with a red R. Look at this county map for the 2008 election(linked below) and tell me you really believe that with Dalllas, Houston, San Antonio and Austin (representing probably 2/3rds of the states population) all going blue, that there were enough popular votes in the vast sparsely populated rural counties to swing the state Red. Not a chance in hell, the huge areas in red look pretty on a map but nobody lives out there, you could probably add the true votes from all the red counties together and it would be less than Houston alone.Text
You've swung so far to the right, you can see Russia from your front porch. Commies, and socialists and bears, oh my!
:laugh:
Lucky for us, true liberals are barely even represented in this country. They are really just a small minority for the rest of us to point and laugh at.
What some people refer to as "liberal" is really center-right, center-left. They are just too far right (mainly the relig-nuts) to know what liberal actually means.

It's incredible how fast Pjabber runs from a thread when confronted with hard evidence from the article he posted that directly contradicts his conclusions (specifically the 93 to 94 trend, and 94 congressional election, and the 1% margin of error).
He claims I need to re-size the chart even though that has nothing to do with the directly labeled % at each plotted point, and talks about changing the definitions of words. This guy is a f'ing gem.
