[sturm und drang]

Red herrings abound...

I'm the one trying to make this a "racist issue?" When have I ever used that word?

I'm simply trying to point out that in your original post, you say that the real "perspective" on Bush's "arse whupping" of Kerry can be seen in the voting patterns of white protestants. I'm not debating the numbers or statistics on that. I've said this before, but what I find troubling is the way you framed the discussion; that is, that the votes that really count are those of white protestants. That the real magnitude of the election can be seen in the voter breakdown of that demographic, and the implication that others' votes (Jews, African-Americans, gays...) don't count.
