Cuz the young black dude at the top is doing such a great job!

AMIRITE?!?!?!?!?!

Goddamn white people!

Everyone on Fark Politics knows only the votes of lesbian minority leftists should count!

Came here to white knight for crackers.

/reads thread

Farking crackers! >:ø

All this does is tell me is black people don't like cold climates.

Roy_G_Biv: Goddamn white people!

Everyone on Fark Politics knows only the votes of lesbian minority leftists should count!

And 7 members of the 2000 Supreme Court felt Republican votes should count double.

Yes mainly old white people who only vote the bible yada yada etc etc ..but we still were one of the first to allow gay marriage AND we voted Obama in?
I always hearing that from the so called "progessive" states who have twice our unemployment,crime,poverty,debt etc.

Oh, pshaw. There are plenty of white lesbians.

I cite 3,235,611 exhibits of video evidence from the internet as proof.

It's Iowa, you expected Mr. Pants On The Ground yelling "I NEED TO GET ME SOME SKRIMPS!"

jedihirsch: considering that the state is 90% white according to the census

its not that surprising that most repubs there are white, just like the democrats

Thank you. I was going to point out to subby that 'old white people' are pretty much the only kind of people in Iowa, but I see you have it well covered.

*tips hat*

The republican party will be well represented by some of the finest citizens in the community.

Old white guy from Iowa here.
Will not be lifting a finger for any of the idiot repulicant's running for office.

I take it back, I will raise one finger "just one" and it will be pointing straight up with the fingers on either side of it folded down.

The people of Kansas voted to allow gay marriage (or its elected legislators voted on their behalf to legalize it)?

Or did Kansas voters vote by a more than 2 to 1 margin to outlaw gay marriage?

Old, white guy that will not caucus or vote in the Republican primary.

A. I live in Oregon and B. I'll be voting for Obama, again. I'm a Mid-western pragmatic, just like Obama.

A recent national Public Policy Polling (D) survey of Republican primary voters showed that 42 percent considered themselves "very conservative," while the latest numbers from the Des Moines Register released Saturday night show that only 34 percent of likely GOP caucus-goers define themselves that way. There are the same amount of moderates in both sample sets, so data shows the Iowa group is tilted a little more to the center on the ideological scale. There is confirming data in other PPP numbers specific to Iowa.

I know a guy who advocates that killing all Muslims and taking over the middle east will solve all the worlds powers who also claims he's a moderate conservative.

old white people shouldn't have a say in the political process.

or something.

I don't know about you, but I've never met anyone who thought they were an extremist, no matter how kookie their ideas were.

you can claim anything you want. I know a country in asia that claims to be both democratic and a peoples republic.

Dammit. Somebody's gotta vote, though, don't they, and everyone else is too busy to bother showing up!

Good things about living in Iowa: Can get gay married, half the crime, poverty, unemployment, debt etc.

What really pisses me off about old white people is their propensity for violent crimes.

Thats just a side effect of their socio-economic status.

I drove across Iowa on the I29. I didn't stop once.

Same sex marriage is legal in Kansas?

I'm so dumb. We are talking about Iowa, where same sex marriage is legal because of of a court decision, despite being supported by a minority of its citizens.

Not Kansas, where same sex marriage is banned because of a voter referendum (70/30).

Shocking that in a state where 95% of the population is white any party would have a majority white voters.

/statistics, how do they work?

//also old people will be over-represented in any group of voters since they, you know, actually vote.

I know a guy who thinks fictitious personal anecdotes are meaningful. But we all make fun of that guy and he's kind of a douche.

Forgot_my_password_again: old white people shouldn't have a say in the political process.

Exactly. You get to vote from 18-65. After 65 STFU and go do some gardening or something.

Silly troll accounts, that's the entire point. You can't claim that the Iowan Republicans are largely moderate based solely on their word for it, from an one question pole. As others have pointed out, extremists will never admit or even believe that they're extremists.

jigger: You get to vote from 18-65. After 65 STFU and go do some gardening or something.

THE GOP should have their own special caucus in Nebraska. That whole state is HerpaDerp Deutschland and they'd fit right in over there.

Nebraska owns you?? Have you ever been to Nebraska? with the exception of Omaha which is a pretty cool place the rest of the state SUCKS! I have to go there all the time for work with govt. clients
Wow... how original?? "Bad thing about living in "insert city/state etc.." Funny when I had heard that it was about Nebraska and I was 12, but hey I guess that the really old lines are good when you have nothing else?
Let's see... close to the lowest unemployment, low cost of living, great schools, low crime rate AND progessive enough thinking to legalize gay marriage and whether you like him or not .... lead the way for the first black president? And we don't have a bunch of cornhusker fans living here? Good place to live indeed.

Have you noticed new white people never vote?

WUWT?

"only 46 percent said they were evangelical or fundamentalist Christians."

That really is frightening.

and Omaha's a shiathole. It caught some horrible wasting disease from Council Bluffs I think. Lincoln is ok.

I'll do for you 39 idiots what you could've done yourselves:

http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/19000.html

Numbers on the left reflect totals for Iowa, numbers on the right reflect the entire country:

Population, 2010 3,046,355 308,745,538
Population, percent change, 2000 to 2010 4.1% 9.7%
Population, 2000 2,926,324 281,421,906
Persons under 5 years, percent, 2010 6.6% 6.5%
Persons under 18 years, percent, 2010 23.9% 24.0%
Persons 65 years and over, percent, 2010 14.9% 13.0%
Female persons, percent, 2010 50.5% 50.8%

White persons, percent, 2010 (a) 91.3% 72.4%
Black persons, percent, 2010 (a) 2.9% 12.6%
American Indian and Alaska Native persons, percent, 2010 (a) 0.4% 0.9%
Asian persons, percent, 2010 (a) 1.7% 4.8%
Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, percent, 2010 (a) 0.1% 0.2%
Persons reporting two or more races, percent, 2010 1.8% 2.9%
Persons of Hispanic or Latino origin, percent, 2010 (b) 5.0% 16.3%
White persons not Hispanic, percent, 2010 88.7% 63.7%

Yep, the census says Iowa is older and whiter than the rest of the country, on average. No surprise there.

Respect your Elders.

/I'm not so eld...

Yeah, and mostly old black people, and BBC cuckolded libtards, vote in the Democrat caucus.
