[Democrat 4 Ever]

1. 64% no! Well, it is Texas. n/t

[babylonsister]

2. Excuse me, I live in TX and don't

appreciate your lousy remark. We are not all bigots.

[seabeyond]

4. i live in texas too. the panhandle, and though you are right, we ALL

are not bigots, there are a whole lot. as my neighbor across the street flies the confederate flag, and i see tons of confederate flag stickers on vehicles, and i saw a truck recently pull up to that neighbors house with a kkk clothe flag over the whole back of his window, in an upper income neighbor

you are right, we all are not bigots. but,.....unfortunately there are many, and they are on the rise now the "good" christians and repugs have validated and encourage the bigotry

[babylonsister]

18. I just get tired of people bashing

TX and making sweeping generalizations, and I'm not even from here originally.

[seabeyond]

20. i am not either., calif. loll lol. have been here decade and half

i hear what you say and there are a lot of good people, a lot of good people that are bigots, lol. out of ignorance, the way they are raised, but bigots they are. i do call it like it is though, i dont turn my eyes away. and.... i do it in love, just dont accept or honor that behavior. if these people had a flash, just a flash of lite, of understanding what they look like in their own bigotry, they would feel such shame. many anyway. not all

[Gman]

25. I'm often amazed at the attitudes of those here at DU towards TX

knowing most have never been here, much less know anything about the politics here.

[melody]

34. some of the best informed and most progressive people are Texans n/t

[WatchWhatISay]

3. Especially Dallas

The only major city in Texas that is not Democatic.

[justabob]

5. Dallas is a respectable shade of purple...

Fort Worth is the one that is BRIGHT red. I do agree we've got a ways to go though.

[WatchWhatISay]

29. Its easy to be blue in Boston

Texas blues are special heroes.

[seabeyond]

30. i think. and in the red panhandle, i proudly drive my car with 8

liberal bumperstickers for all to see. and every kerry sticker i see, (way more than what i thought i would), they get a huge smile thumbs up and with you bro, sis. yup

takes strength to be blue amongst all the red AND stay sane

[Horse with no Name]

32. Hmmm...it's pretty damn close

Breakdown of large Texas cities and the way they allegedly voted during the 2004 Presidential election:

Dallas 49% (Dallas)
Tarrant 37% (Ft. Worth)
Bexar 44% (San Antonio)
El Paso 56% (El Paso)
Travis 56% (Austin)
Harris 45% (Houston)

Texas isn't nearly as red in the cities as one might think.
In the larger metropolitan areas of Texas, Bush and Kerry were neck and neck with Bush receiving a total of 1,755,762 votes and John Kerry receiving 1,577,388.

6. It's being freeped

61% No
37% Yes

But you CAN vote more than once. It helps to make it meaningful. :eyes:

[newswolf56]

7. Remember what happened in Dallas on November 22, 1963:

It was described then as one of the most viciously racist cities in America, whether North or South, and these poll results merely reflect the fact that its racism is undiminished. Consider these numbers the equivalent of a wildly enthusiastic crowd
cheering Bennett and shouting "Zieg Heil!" as if he were the reincarnation of some Nazi minister of education.

[seabeyond]

10. i agree. again, i gave birth to two texans and married a texan

love them dearly. and i agree with you. why i want to turn this poll around. i have never asked for a poll to be du. never that big of a deal for me. tho i do do it for other people that ask

[newswolf56]

17. Appreciate your stance: was raised 2/3rds in the South and was...

part of the Civil Rights Movement -- in which there were also (wholly contrary to MSM reports) many native-born white Southerners. (The Village Voice did a comprehensive piece c. 1965 on Southerners active in the Civil Rights Movement, and I did a similar story in '69 -- its primary focus the degree of real integration among Southern youth -- this for an alternative NYC paper that unfortunately never got into publication.)

Thanks for taking our opinion poll.


wonder if the freepers got ahold of this first

[OKDem08]

9. done

61% no...that is deeply disturbing

[valerief]

11. I'm not sure how to vote

What does Over the Line mean?

[seabeyond]

12. was it a racist comment. was it inappropriate for him to say n/t

[valerief]

24. I know. I don't understand the poll's phrasing.

[I Have A Dream]

28. I'd take it to mean "inappropriate". n/t

[valerief]

31. Thanks

Weird phrasing, though.

[NYC]

13. 1,041 people think it's just fine to abort all black babies.

Strange comment and strange people who agree with it, or at least find it acceptable.

[Kurovski]

14. The poll question at the link is about shoes.

:shrug:

[NYC]

15. Look under Bennett's picture,

and click the word "poll". (Unless you are interested in pearl soled shoes.)

[Kurovski]

19. I'd buy ten pair if I could! But I think the Bennett poll is gone.

I hit every link around the image of his vile kisser, but no poll.

[NYC]

27. That didn't last long, did it?

Maybe they have a numerical cutoff? Or maybe they wanted to stop the poll while it still supported the gambling bigot who preaches morals.

[Kurovski]

33. Hey, if they do it with presidential elections,

why not some tiny little poll?

They gotta "catapult the propaganda" per orders of their "president".

[chalky]

21. The word "poll" is gone....been replaced with "discuss".

n/t

[Caoimhe]

16. and what a stupid question too

would you buy shoes with pearl soles// wtf type of poll question is that??? lol

[seabeyond]

26. probably code talk for do you agree abort all blacks and crime

will go down. wink

teasing

[seabeyond]

23. assholes, cowards, wusses..... they pulled the damn thing. now

THAT is chicken shit

[newswolf56]

22. Poll is now gone just as other posters say. Obviously...

the MSN doesn't want any further revelation of America's ever-less-closeted racism, whether in Dallas or anywhere else.
