Over 90% of blacks in the US vote Democrat. The lady was black. The odds that she was NOT a Republican and that she did NOT vote for Bush are overwhelming.
Even ~25% of gays voted for Bush at the last election, and there is WAY more hostility directed at Bush in the gay community than in the black community. So I don't find your 90% figure to be credible, at all. Also, the fact that X% of blacks vote Democrats doesn't mean that there is an X% chance that this particular woman votes Democrat.
From an Alabama newspaper:
http://www.decaturdaily.com/de...news/041103/race.shtml
Nine of 10 blacks supported Democrat John Kerry ? the same ratio as supported Al Gore four years ago. But Bush secured a landslide victory again because blacks made up only a quarter of the electorate as they did then.
Do you like your crow cold, or warm?
Now, the fact that she's black means there is a 90% chance she would vote democrat. Denying that is denying simple reality.

First of all, what 12 year olds have sex? And second of all, what kind of parents are these? jesus h. tapdancing christ.
You obviously have a limited understanding of statistics. If I pulled a random person out of a pre-defined group, then you could say "there's an x percent chance of her being ....". However, in this case, there is no indication that she voted at all, thus not placing her in the group from which you're trying to derive implied statistical odds.Now, the fact that she's black means there is a 90% chance she would vote democrat.

The whole idea of this having to do with a red state or blue state etc is stupid. Please stop. There are wackos of all types in all states and in all countries. Bottom line, this woman did a horrible thing to her daughter. It's unbelievable that anyone could do such a thing. Admittedly, if I found out my 12 year old daughter was having sex I'd go ballistic too! Of course, being a sane person I wouldn't do what that woman did.
I know you were countering the "red state" post. I'm not arguing 'against' you, sorry if it came across that way. I'm just pointing out from a purely statistical perspective (forget the political perspective) that your argument based on the voting statistics is not correct. 90% of southern blacks WHO VOTED voted democrat. That doesn't say anything about the population that did not vote. Since we don't know if this woman voted or not, we can't infer anything about the odds of her being a democrat or republican without further information.Originally posted by: Amused
I pointed that out to counter the "it's a Red State, so it figures" bullsh!t.
You argue against that ignorance as well, but you start by arguing against me??
WTF?
The point is, it can be assumed from the stats that 90% of blacks in Alabama support Dems. From that it is safe to assume that the chances this woman supports the Dems are 90%, whether she voted, or not.
DALLAS (AP) -- When a mother admitted killing her baby daughter by severing the child's arms this week, she joined a high-profile list of Texas women with histories of mental illness who have killed their children in gruesome fashion.
The state has had at least four similar cases in recent years. Andrea Yates drowned her five children in the family's Houston bathtub in 2001.
Deanna Laney bashed her three sons' skulls with rocks last year, killing two and maiming a toddler. She said God told her to do it.
A mother from suburban Dallas drowned her daughters last fall, and a woman in Brownsville is accused of helping her common-law husband behead her three children.

Not meant to be an 'attack' of any kind, just my "too left brained analytical" side coming through

A Democract would teach the girl what a condom is and make sure it is used and in a couple of years get birth control prescription. Not sure if there is an age requirement that a doctor could prescribe that.
An Alabaman Red Stater reaction would be OMFG Jesus, she must be cleansed!!!

You need to look at the history of the neoconserveative movement. If you go back far enough you end up with the bolsheviks or their equivilents.

If I told you that the overwhelming majority of convicted serial killers, if registered to vote were/are registered as 'democrat', would that mean anything? No.
