100,000 Protestors... Angry mobs of students...

I don't know that the dead have any political leanings since their membership is pretty broad. I think it is safe to say that as a group illegal aliens and felons will tend to sympathize with the party platform of the Democrats, for three reasons:

1. Democrats tend to support ideas that would make naturalization easier and oppose enforcement of things that would make being here illegally uncomfortable.

2. To the extent that either party wants to decriminalize things that create felons (mostly, by ending the laughable war on drugs) it is the Democrats.

3. Felons and illegal immigrants disproportionately are part of socioeconomic groups that vote Democratic and it seems reasonable to assume that citizenship and going to jail are not likely to change general political views of a group.

So, it could be said that the Democrats are the party for illegal immigrants and felons. Of course they are the party of other groups as well (such as bumpluggers, communists, feminazis, and (environmental) terrorists).

Crap, almost made it through without attacking. Stupid sarcastic tendencies.

As to whether the dead, the felons, and the illegal immigrants are fraudulently voting in massive number? I strongly doubt it.

So I take it Abramoff and DeLay will be voting Democrat next election?

No, we're talking tendencies of course. And we all know that white collar shouldn't really count (and I really doubt that Delay will be convicted at all, let alone by November).

Unless you're implying that they're gay in which case they will be voting Democrat as that is just genetic.

Uhm, there's at least one poster here that might beg to differ......

A) I'm being sarcastic.

B) I'm assured by one of my gay friends that no gay person would ever vote Republican that anybody who does is just trying (and failing) to pass as gay. I, of course, don't believe him.

C) In my 3 point post above I when I got around to attacking I was attacking Nephytys's position. (The first part was to show that roughly the same point could be made without being derogatory and create a point around which discussion could proceed, the second part was to highlight the valuelessness of her method, the third part was show focus on the fallacy of her assumption.

I knew you were being sarcastic, Alex! Even if you didn't use a smilie.

The GLBT group the Log Cabin Republicans vote Republican. As far as I know.

Yes, and it is them that he is referring to when he says they're just passing and not really gay. I'm sure even he doesn't believe that but if he could revoke their gay membership card for voting Republican he would.

iSm, would a statement that "Republicans are the party of racists, homophobes, and accounting frauds" have prodded the same warning out of you?

Maybe you missed where Abramoff plead guilty, but Delay has not even had a trial? Or is it guilty until proven innocent as long as you are not in the right political party?

wendybeth · 04-11-2006, 11:41 AM

Man, you're really looking for a fight. No go, Neph- not in the mood.
