It seems we have one individual who's opinion dissents from this research.

Lets discuss a point you felt was inaccurate.

I think it was hilarious... That is, if you take the vid as a joke (that was what it was supposed to be right?)

In some ways it's accurate, in some ways its not. It's sterotyping. Some people aren't as simple minded as the speaking made them out to be. But i did think that pointing out that libs think with their feelings first, then logic, and conservatives think with logic first, then feelings is sterotipically very funny. But i like racial jokes...

Good vid... needed the chuckledrinker drinker

I don't think this is a joke at all, and an analysis that is on populations is always going to be general . . . DUH! . . ie sterotypical, but I think it says something about alot of people, and I think other than his apparent bias in his presentation his data seemed accurate.

I am a registered republican and half my friends are dems, and half are conservative like me.

I find that none of my friends are perfect libs or perfect repubs my self included, they both have certain issues that they are either dead center, or opposite from there party on (but isn't that true of almost everyone?), however this mans analysis pegs them all close enough . . . my self included.


What this tells me is we need to stop thinking in black and white, we need to focus more on issues, that will force both of our parties to step up and do the right job regardless of partisan ship.

I seriously am thinking of voting 3rd party to send a big F%^*ng Message I hope enough people are on bored to make it a real message, but regardless a single vote says something.

Seriously if this guy is an idiot then lets discuss a single factor he stated that doesn't apply to most of the people that call themselves repub or dem!

Not everything he states applies to me, but enough does for me to see he isnt full of sh#^

woa,sorry bro,misunderstood. I guess i find truth in sterotyping to be rather funny. Honestly what i wassaying earlier about the libs feeling before thinking, and the conservatives thinking before feeling is my take on what the guy was basically saying....

Totally agree with the whole party thing too, aswell as the absolute fact that people get too caught up in party loyalty to make an intelligent decision. It's all biased, and biased thinking is the enemy of educated decisions... Cheers to ya brodrinker drinker
