Yes and no. MOST people in prison ain't real smart or they'd either stay OUT of trouble or NOT act up during a crime to avoid being caught. MOST criminals do come from bad areas and yes: I'm gonna say it; ghettos of ANY race ain't exactly loaded with smart dudes and ladies.

Just like Jaywalking won't ever show you the dozens of folks who got their questions right, only the entertaining dumb responses. Makes the viewer feel real smart if they don't know what's going on.

But how tough is it for say, a Young Republican to take a camera to a campus, hold up a placard and invite a bunch of fellow club members to come over and participate in an "unbiased political opinion exercise?"

I think anyone with whatever agenda and a smart phone could make one of these videos in just a few minutes to promote whatever viewpoint they favor.

I report.

You decide.

How is that rational, when they clearly show a continuing vote.

Your "playing dumb" act had me going there for awhile.

Well, if a talk show host says it, I guess there's no higher authority.

Just look at our poor choice of universities.

University of Chicago
University of Illinois - Chicago
DePaul University
Northwestern University
Northeastern University
Loyola University
Some students value making it to their graduation day alive.

USC is located in the middle of a quasi war zone as well, but Harrier would take his chances there rather than at a university in Chciraqgo.

Besides, Northwestern is in Evanston.

Obama fails to recognize there is a balance of power between the three legislative branches.. Obama does not want to negotiate with Congress which is what all presidents have to do.. Obama thinks that his power only should dictate.. that is what a dictator does.. Dictator Obama dictating is an Obama Nation.

USC's campus is really nice as well - it's like an oasis in the middle of the hood.

Poor conservatives I know don't vote, if it doesn't include free beer or naked women, most will pass!

Free pizza and phones most buy those things with their side jobs.

Working-class poor happen to be middle-class to lower middle-class. Burger flippers are not the working poor, although the left would like to convince us those are career jobs.
