Startling Change in Educational Background and Voting Preference

2004-10-27T16:07:00.000-04:00

From The Volokh Conspiracy:

The Wall Street Journal notes a remarkable shift in an article today on page A4
(subscription required). In 2000, those with a high-school diploma or less
preferred Gore to Bush by 7 percentage points, and those who graduated college
preferred Bush to Gore by 5 percentage points. That is in keeping with what had
been a longstanding education gap -- college graduates have tended to vote for
the Republican candidate more (and for the Democratic candidate less), and the
reverse has been true for those who didn't complete college. (Those who went to
graduate school have tended to prefer Democratic candidates, but the Wall Street
Journal doesn't separate out those numbers in its story today.)

But in the polling for 2004, those with a high-school diploma or less prefer Bush 57%
to 38%, and those with a college degree prefer Kerry by 14 percentage points.
That's quite a shift (to put it mildly).

MyDD :: We Didn't Want the Liar

2004-10-22T15:27:00.000-04:00

In the comments of this MyDD Blog entry, SlapMaxwell presents "Dubya's Legacy".

Dubya's Legacy

Sloppy fielding, hitting's disdain,
Trade that guy Sammy for a washed up Harold Baine,
Decisions like this set him one step above,
Those poor dumb bastard Texans, who then made him their Gov,

The right wing conservatives all giggled with glee,
When in a falsetto voice he mocked "Pleeeeese don't kill meeee,"
The GOP figured this "Christian reborn",
Could help out their party, then tattered and torn,
If the Bible belt liked him and gave him a push,
The next redneck president could be George W. Bush.

His daddy's old cronies accomplished their mission,
When he lost the election but won the decision,
Pat Robertson cried, "This man's got the right stuff,
He'll put religion in government if I pay him enough!
If only a Justice would hurry and die,
So Dubya can replace him with my kind of guy."

That first year while evil brewed foul in our nation,
George Dubya played golf and took lots of vacations,
Once attacked though our leader was through with all that,
Though assaulted by Saudi's, he then blew up Iraq.

So what if our factories have slowed their production,
We've found all those weapons, of mass destruction.
We didn't? Oh well, hey look over here,
Remember me? I once bought you a beer,
With that money from surplus, I don't mean to gloat,
Ya know, it's not like I did it, to buy your vote.

I met that committee... but then only "to visit",
Brought Cheney with me. That ain't bad, is it?
It's him and me gave you the Patriot Act,
Your freedom's expendable, that's part of our pact.
So elect me again, and I'll keep these powers,
To kill them Iraqi's that blew up the Twin Towers.
I'm a uniter not divider, but why, if that's my lore,
Is this country more divided than it's been since the civil war.

Seymour Hersh:

I got a call last week from a soldier -- it's different now, a lot of communication, 800 numbers. He's an American officer and he was in a unit halfway between Baghdad and the Syrian border. It's a place where we claim we've done great work at cleaning out the insurgency. He was a platoon commander. First lieutenant, ROTC guy.
It was a call about this. He had been bivouacing outside of town with his platoon. It was near, it was an agricultural area, and there was a granary around. And the guys that owned the granary, the Iraqis that owned the granary... It was an area that the insurgency had some control, but it was very quiet, it was not Fallujah. It was a town that was off the mainstream. Not much violence there. And his guys, the guys that owned the granary, had hired, my guess is from his language, I wasn't explicit -- we're talking not more than three dozen, thirty or so guards. Any kind of work people were dying to do. So Iraqis were guarding the granary. His troops were bivouaced, they were stationed there, they got to know everybody...

They were a couple weeks together, they knew each other. So orders came down from the generals in Baghdad, we want to clear the village, like in Samarra. And as he told the story, another platoon from his company came and executed all the guards, as his people were screaming, stop. And he said they just shot them one by one. He went nuts, and his soldiers went nuts. And he's hysterical. He's totally hysterical. And he went to the captain. He was a lieutenant, he went to the company captain. And the company captain said, "No, you don't understand. That's a kill. We got thirty-six insurgents."

You read those stories where the Americans, we take a city, we had a combat, a hundred and fifteen insurgents are killed. You read those stories. It's shades of Vietnam again, folks, body counts...

You know what I told him? I said, fella, I said: you've complained to the captain. He knows you think they committed murder. Your troops know their fellow soldiers committed murder. Shut up. Just shut up. Get through your tour and just shut up. You're going to get a bullet in the back. You don't need that. And that's where we are with this war.

So they knew what Bush was really saying when he brought Dred Scott up yesterday. It wasn't a bizarre Bushism at all but a calculated statement to his base.

The Poor Man: Kitty Kelley's Shocking Revelations

2004-09-09T15:21:00.000-04:00

Everybody is talking about Kitty Kelley's new book "The Family: The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty". The scandal-hungry press is already salivating over rumors that the book will reveal George W. Bush's use of cocaine through the 1980's, the true story of his time in the National Guard, and the shocking details of the illegal abortion he procured for an ex-girlfriend. But the press doesn't know the half of it! I have obtained an advance copy of the book, and will now share the even more shocking revelations contained within!

Article

Implicitly and sometimes explicitly, today's Republican party argues that the key to economic success is to reduce taxes, end regulation, insulate businesses from the costs of malfeasance, slow down environmental protection, subsidize corporate operations, gut collective bargaining, and shift as many public services, including public education, into the private sector.

If that approach made any sense, then Mississippi would be the economic dynamo of the nation, and of the world. But that's the road this administration and its party appears to be paving for us all.
