1>Considering I was just told that the secret to my community is that we are looking for closet racists? Not in the least.
2>A Good majority? I wouldn't go that far. I would also point out that the majority of Black and Hispanics in this country live in the south still - do they want a 'closet racist', or is the groups' traditional low voting numbers the reason that such great people like Kerry are comfortable with publicly disregarding our entire geographic area?
3>Well, for someone who later professes that the election process is too complicated, I hope you won't take too much offense when I say that it could be the sect of people you are engulfed with that make you feel what Njorl said is true.
People planning to vote for Bush, and people voting for Bush because they want a racist in office are two separate things.
4>People voting uninformed is nothing new, and hardly shows the racist conspiracy that Njorl purports is running rampant across the south.
5>I disagree
6>Rephrase this - was that last part closet?
7>Do you think that the 58% of the black population, which lives in the south, and traditionally votes democrat is goign to just vote Bush because of his accent?
8>I'm glad you are stepping in :)
9>It certainly is not! It just takes some getting used to if you've never been engulfed in it.
10>Your vote still supports whomever you voted for. We are still in primary season. But assuming your question about the general election, it could be argued that a state already likely to go to Kerry doesn't need additional voters, and in fact your Kerry vote in a strong Bush state is more beneficial in the long run.
11>See number 10. If Kerry is going to win another state, he would do better with you staying put and raising awareness where you are at.
12>Well, I'm glad you are voting. I'm doing my best to get Bush elected over any of the democrat options, so atleast you can take pride that your vote is cancelling out mine
Seperate thought -
Njorl proclaims that
1>Kerry can win without any southern states and is justified in openly stating that he isn't looking for any.
This statement was concrning the primary. So we are only looking at democrats for the time being. In the south, the democrat vote is primarily African American, and 58% of the nation's Black population lives in the south. Is Kerry saying he doesn't care to go after the black vote?
Concerning the general election - If Kerry applies his apathetic attitude to the south, does that mean he doesn't care about the bulk of the black and hispanic vote in this country? And Bush is the closet racist?
2>Southerners want closet racists.
If this is the case with the primary, then still keeping in mind that the democrat primary in the south has the highest percentage of black voters of any election, does Kerry believe that he can't win the south because blacks and hispanics want him to hate them?
Still focusing on the primary, why wouldn white democrats not just vote Republican if they wanted a closet racist like njorl believes Bush is??
