There are many other explanations for the data as you've presented it because we don't have any information as to the number of people within each group.The number of people in each group is irrelevant to my statement I claimed: it's the rich people in those area's that vote for republicans not the poor people. Then I linked to the map that backed it up. The number of rich and poor people in those areas has no relevance to my statement. Oh please. If the NY Times had inserted a layer into that GIS to indicate the way a given county voted in 2008 you and the other fools would have claimed it showed an agenda. THIW. Thankfully you can also find the 2008 Electoral Results for each county on the NY Times site as well. It doesn't take much effort to see that relatively few of the counties which were even slightly 'won' by Obama in 2008 are very dependent upon federal assistance. Admittedly, there are exceptions, such as Menifee County, KY; Webster County, WV; and Wilcox and Perry counties in Alabama. But for every blue colored county on the electoral map which is identified as a problem on the map of federal subsidies, there are dozens of counties which were staunchly pro-McCain and where federal subsidies make up a percentage of all income which is equal or greater to the Democratically dominated areas. Counties don’t receive benefits counties don’t’ vote people receive benefits and people vote. Showing that counties where a large number of people receive does not prove that the individuals who receive the benefits are same people that are voting republican. He provided no evidence that the people who receive the benefits are the ones voting republican. If you are SMAZ have evidence that the people who receive benefits are same people who vote republican you are free to provide it as it is all you do is whine that my evidence doesn’t show something that no one claims it is showing, while SMAZ posts stupid pictures. Because the maps themselves are intellectually dishonest without knowing the methodology by which he arrived at those conclusions. i it a few posts up. the book has more information if you want to find it posted a link to amazon meanwhile no one has posted any evidence that the people who receive benifits are the same people who vote republican. I don't care who it was created by. Without knowing the methodology behind it, the graphs and maps are completely worthless. The only person being intellectually dishonest around here is you. You thought you could stick a graph and some maps in to make your point for you, but not everyone is going to accept the tripe you're trying to sell. I provided more evidence to back up my case rich people in poor states vote republican and poor people in poor states vote democratic than SMAZ did to prove his case that poor people in poor states vote republican. I cited my source it is now incumbent upon you to prove that my source is wrong. |
