You immediately assume that liberals don't think straight, without proving anything. You fail to describe what it means to "think straight". All signs point to the fact that you have interest in engaging in actual discussion, you just want to slander a group which you disagree with. I'm interested in discussing the issue but don't pose things in such a simplistic and disingenuous manner.

Absolutely right . they are tolerant of others when you fit their mold.

No, everyone in America would be called DUMB

Anyone that voted for the McCain ticket had to be out of their cotton picking mind

No sane person would vote a Presidential ticket with Palin on it

Also, when liberals disagree with people who give speeches, they shout them down, or throw things at them, such as pies, stuff like that. Conservatives are a bit more respectful when other people give opinions.

Again, you're lumping all liberals into one stereotype. We're not all like that.

I didn't vote for Obama or McCain. But if I was a Republican or a Democrat - I would of had no choice but to vote for Obama. The alternative of McCain/Palin would have been unimaginable.

It's not until folks vote for neither of these parties that you will ever see a change

I'm quite aware of the demographics.

And 95% of black people voting for Obama is not the reason that he got elected.

Blacks made up 13% of all voters. So 95% of 13% is 12%. Not enough to win the election.

More men voted for Obama.
More women voted for Obama.
More people 18 - 44 voted for Obama
More high school and college graduates voted for Obama
More non-high school college graduates voted for Obama
More first time voters voted for Obama
More Catholics voted for Obama
More people who live in big cities voted for Obama
More people who live in small cities voted for Obama
More people who live in suburbs voted for Obama

Tell me again that Obama won because blacks voted for him
