Are Democrats actually the Party of racism and sexism?

Let's take the Washington Posts figures. Your "Republican" paper.

John McCain missed more than any other Senator, 63.8% of the vote.

Unlike other claims, I'll offer a cite for my numbers.

And this has exactly what to do with racism and sexism? Could some of us at least TRY to stay on topic?

That is from the CURRENT 110th Congress. Not his entire voting record.

Neither he nor Obama nor Clinton got a lot of votes in this years, I suspect.

Sorry for the off-topic post.

OWNED X2!!!

Back on topic...

Democrats need to actually do something SOON to earn their mythical reputation as saviors of women and "minorities". They've been doing too much AGAINST women & minorities.

Glad to read that someone else sees this fallacy

Just as a comparison... here's John Kerry's voting record for election year 2004...

John Kerry in the 2004 election year:Missed - 488Cast - 187Percent missed - 72.3%

It is correct though that McCain has missed the most votes of any senator in the current 110th Congress. The next up was Sen. Tim Johnson (D-SD) who suffered a brain hemorrhage on December 13 of 2006 but has since returned. Third place goes to Obama missing 45.5%, 4th place to Clinton missing 32.3%, and 5th place to Biden missing 30.3%.

As stated here, which comes from many sources.

The Republicans were the ones who freed the slaves back in 1865.

Affirmative action has been gotten rid of in Democratic states (something I actually support).

Democrats have always claimed to be the party for minorities, the middle class, and what not, but I've never believed it. For example, the middle class. Tax policies are that they reduce taxes on them, however they increase taxes on businesses which forces businesses to cut back on jobs that middle class people fill, which is something Obama wants to do. There are paradoxes in his tax plan and the so called Democratic ideals.

Excuse me? I didn't call anyone names, thank you. People have been attacked much worse before and their posts don't get deleted. Why mine? Because I said you used statistics incorrectly and called you out on it?

*edit* If you can bring my post back, please do, and I request that for a few reasons. If you reread my post that you deleted, you would see that I addressed the forum in saying "People...". I mentioned you because you were the example in this thread. I'd also like to see where I called someone a name.

Don't take offense, but all posts, as soon as I see them, or another mod sees them, that refer to another poster in an unflattering manner will be deleted, not edited anymore.

The comment you quoted wasn't directed at you Smocky, but to someone who thinks opinions are facts.

Agreed. Any post that personally and specifically attacks another member of NICO is not acceptable. I have been a teensy bit guilty of this too and am learning to do way better.

Disputing the content of the post is fine!

For a very long time Democrats have been touting themselves as the Party of minorities and women. They say Republicans are racists, because they don't tend to offer preference to Blacks and oppose Affirmative Action.

I don't know Dems that do that, but I do know that there is a strong correlation between white racists and a preference for the Republican party.

Palin was chosen simply because she is a woman, so using your logic, the Repubs are both racist and sexist.

You mean like this fine Republican leader in Pennsylvania?

Putting people like that at the head of a Republican group does not help the Republican cause. Good thing they forced the racist out.
