Is Repug Anti-miscegnation racism?
Shock poll: 46% of Mississippi Republicans think interracial marriage should be illegal
A new poll out of Mississippi finds that in a bastion of America's south, many Republican voters have tightly held onto the old, hateful views of race as a dividing line in society.
A full 46 percent of Mississippi Republicans said they believe interracial marriage should be illegal, according to the left-leaning survey group Public Policy Polling. Only 40 percent said they thought it should remain legal, with the rest unsure.

=============
I figure the same poll in LA, AL, GA, KY, TN, VA, NC,SC, would have similar results
The Repugs' Southern Strategy wasn't racist, either.
and here's Macaca Allen dog-whistling again:

Or, left-leaning survey group tries to get attention by taking stupid polls.

Re: Is Repug Anti-miscegnation racism?
What would be interesting is to see the Demo splits on interracial marriage. Naturally, that is not provided...
-
Re: Is Repug Anti-miscegnation racism?
I'll bet they would get similar results or worse from white democrats if they were polled.
MS GOP: Bryant for Gov., Barbour or Huckabee for Pres.

Re: Is Repug Anti-miscegnation racism?
lol @ another bouton's poll fail.
Shocking. Only 32% of those polled were under 45.
It's the older generation that hangs on to the bigoted nonsense. Thanks for finding a poll to tell us water is wet.
You are a useful idiot afterall.:lmao

Of course not. That was not the purpose of this targeted "poll".

Call me an idiot all you want. Just don't call me late for dinner.
Funny how someone interjected that question in a poll only offered to republicans. Must have been afraid to see how democrats would have responded.

Re: Is Repug Anti-miscegnation racism?
The crosstabs on this poll are hilarious. It must really piss off ideologues like boutonski to see that 64% of those polled who favor Palin favor interracial marriage. Huckabee pwns all at 73% favorablitly.:lol

Re: Is Repug Anti-miscegnation racism?
"how democrats would have responded"
Long-time southern Dems switched to Repug after 1960s integration plus Repugs Southern Strategy (Tricky Dick + a young and already nasty-assed scum-bag Roger Ailes) race-baiting them into Repug racism.
Repugs painted the Dems as the party of blacks and Jews.

Re: Is Repug Anti-miscegnation racism?
Teysha, it's one of his common themes. You should be used to it by now.
-
Re: Is Repug Anti-miscegnation racism?
yes, my common theme is kick-assing into the Lies and Slander of Repugs and right-wingers.
-
Re: Is Repug Anti-miscegnation racism?
yes, your common theme is to get bitch slapped with your own poll and then furiously move the goal posts in a failed attempt at redemption.

Re: Is Repug Anti-miscegnation racism?
Kick-assing? Adverb of some sort?

All we need now is another round of rebuttals (stage 4) and the inevitable boutons retreat involving some kind of personal insult (stage 5) and our business will be done here.

I should keep that in a notepad.txt file. It's handy.:lol

I think that's because the sample is 400 from "usual Republican primary voters." It's probably because younger people don't vote in the same numbers as older people, and they probably don't vote as often in the primaries.

Re: Is Repug Anti-miscegnation racism?
The VRWC needs exposing as long as you right-wing fucktards deny it exists.

Most polling organizations will attempt to level the population if a representative sample is truly wanted. That does not appear to be the case here.

how do you know that it's not a true representation? maybe voters younger than 45 make up a significantly smaller percentage of "usual republican primary voters" is all I'm saying.
-
Re: Is Repug Anti-miscegnation racism?
I can't know for sure. The other organizations like Pew, and Gallup will release the makeup of their polling populations to keep things clean and clear....which is a fairly common practice. I found no such information from Public Policy Polling which gives pause as to just how representative a sample this actually is.

My gut feel is, voters < 45 probably make up a smaller percentage than >45. But, gut feelings make terrible polling tools.

you could call them and find out if that's what they did (used their collective gut as a polling tool).

Re: Is Repug Anti-miscegnation racism?
I could do any number of things if this were my OP. It aint.

you're attacking the poll. there's a number you could call and ask them directly.
-
Re: Is Repug Anti-miscegnation racism?
You do understand that by excluding the population breakdown, they have done a nice job of calling the results into question without me doing a single thing. They ostensibly do this for a living. Let them carry the water.
-
Re: Is Repug Anti-miscegnation racism?
If it were a poll of the under 50, it's bad.
Then a poll of over 50 years old would be a lot worse.
-
Re: Is Repug Anti-miscegnation racism?
But they don't bother to tell us, do they?
With all the cross tabs run on the data, they don't bother to break it out by age? Fucking ridiculous. It's a 20 second pivot table, but by omitting this basic bit of analysis, it fosters the view that there may be an agenda at work here....even if you discount the bizarre incongruency of polling for Republican candidate preference and tossing in a question about inter-racial marriage.

Re: Is Repug Anti-miscegnation racism?
In short, this poll stinks by dint of purposeful or accidental exculsions of data and related analysis.
