How absurd is it to call Liberals cowards?

Question

I saw this question by our beloved john skerry http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=AoPvjaPRUfoxx7S6dZyoWTNIzKIX?qid=20060806141137AAqaNWD and he claims 75% of the military fighting force is conservative. He got his information from this article http://www.armytimes.com/story.php?f=1-292925-383722.php, if you read the article, it was done on a survey where they based their results on about 4,000 who responded to the survey. Now I know our military is much larger than 4,000 soldiers, I'm not sure where skerry was going with this. Out of personal experience in the Military, I've seen 9 soldiers who went awol/desertion and all 9 were registered Republicans, should I say all Republicans/Conservatives are deserters because of these 9? How can John Skerry say the same out of a 4,000 soldier survey when our military force is in the hundreads of thousands range?

Answer 1

your a good person

Answer 2

Polls are usually based on a portion of the population, they never ask everyone. They still have a percent of variance. The fact is the military does vote mostly Republican. I believe you can find this information easily with a search, there's many, many articles on the matter, that include gallop, cnn, msnbc polls. That doesn't make Democrats cowards though. Why would you take to heart anything John Skerry says?

Answer 3

Because he is a shining example of what you call a neocon. An ultra conservative who twists whatever facts they can find into propaganda to fit their agenda. In general he was right as about 60% of the military vote republican. In this time it is because the only people going into that war are the ones who believe were over there for somthing more than what we actually are, OR they are people that really enjoy the military and when a republican is in office they tend to get more money from them. So it is quite obsurd that he can call them cowards because he doesnt know them and why they arnt in the military.

Answer 4

If you're bashing the resluts of the survey because it was taken using only 4000 people then I've got news for you...you can't trust any 'survey'. Most are done with 4000 or 5000 people. Do you seriously beleive that when a survey says that 10% of the American public prefer XXXX over XXXX that they actually polled millions. They polled a few thousand, ran calcs out to extrapolate the numbers they present to us. If the 4000 polled happen to live in a blue state..what do you think the results would be? If the 4000 polled lived in a red state...what do you think they'd be?
99.9% of all polls are horse hockey.

Answer 5

I think it is irrelevant to even think about liberals or conservatives as cowards. If I'm in the fox-hole with somebody during a war I just want both of us to watch out for each other. Who he votes for or what his political philosophy is doesn't mean anything to me at that stage of the game. I would hope that first and foremost at times of war everyone in the military thinks of their brothers-in-arms as American citizens.

Answer 6

I can't really support this, but I heard that the largest number of recruits in the military are now from the east coast area (like the tri-state), and california.

Answer 7

Very absurd, and Kerry would be a good example. A well to do guy who actually volunteered for Viet Nam!

but more importantly... I'm just a handful of points away from getting to Level 4.... and I have no idea why I even want this... but I do.

Answer 8

It's kinda like callin a neocon a patriot.All they show patriotism to is the almighty dollar!(wrapped in a flag,of course)

Answer 9

no count if an ideology is "susceptible" or not is beside the point. And by making use of how, that's "their" ideology, not "there" ideology. you notice above an incredible many sturdy circumstances wherein utterances made by making use of this individual proved to be erroneous. i ought to quote 1000's of others. His figuring out Nazis as "liberal" and "left wing", as an occasion, is a extensive "errors", and each of the valid examine and scholarship concurs--fascism and Nazism have been, are, and stay suitable WING techniques, in simple terms conservative to reactionary, and there are not any valid exceptions. era. And yet he persists. in case you desire to fake those are in simple terms "comments" and area of "loose speech", advantageous. The Flat Earth Society nevertheless exists, you be responsive to, and that they have got been debunked completely for a minimum of 500 years. i've got even heard "those are in simple terms errors", yet while the valid, mainstream media made that many so-referred to as authentic "errors", which they by no ability have, all of us be responsive to what the extremely-suitable neo-Nazis could say in critique. The be conscious "liar" could be trotted out in the present day, because it often is even while the occasion conversing is providing particularly problematic information. maximum of this, particularly the Constitutional "info", isn't in user-friendly terms a "count of opinion" or "loose speech", this individual is announcing nonsense and fabricating "information", often at present opposite certainty. If one would not call that "incorrect", one is conversing a language particularly distinctive from the only with which i substitute into raised. The occasion to whom you refer is fairly under insult ranges. childish rants are childish rants. If announcing that when this is real is an "insult", lower back, there is a few disease interior using language.
