but that dolt WAS unable to do simple math, or else he was lying, and he's not the first person to do so. Your eagerness to "prove" that 48-49% is the equivalent of 51% and the lengths to which you are willing to go in order to prove this would probably, in Dartful's mind, lump you in with other said dolts.
I don't think you're a dolt, I just think you're excited to prove that John Kerry was close to the same number of votes as Bush, even if it doesn't disprove Dartful's fact that 49% of the voting public is not half.
There ARE other ways to argue your point, but I'm not going to help you out. I'm just trying to make you think out your arguments better.

I never said we can't do simple math, the person behind the photo of the American apologizing can't do simple math.
You can't do simple contractions.

Geez, the political posts go away and all of a sudden people can't argue anymore. Time for school... ;)
Lesson One: Kill the weed at the root.
48, 49, 50, 51... doesn't matter. The sign is wrong because none of those numbers represent "Americans". Those figures represent Americans who voted. The sign in question does not make this distinction.
:P
I think the "general idea" is accurate though. Half is close enough.
btw, Bush didn't win by 3 million votes. He won by 136,483 Ohio votes. ;) (according to my numbers)

Floyd, do you see what he did there? He assessed the claim, perhaps wondered if the math wasn't the crucial thing, and then argued THAT point as to why Dartful was wrong.
See, I TOLD you there was a better way to make your argument. I wasn't even arguing whether Dartful was wrong, I was arguing that YOU were wrong. Your points were, but so was Dartful's, as Coot points out.
I have a BEEEYOOOOOTEEEEEFUL smiley for this, but I'm saving it for a better example, and I'll use it just for you buddy! :D

i can't believe i'm even posting here but these kids are driving me nuts
it's a guy with a notebook posting a silly picture on the net
he says half
so what
he's darn close
how many times in this thread does drew throw out there that bush won
we're not idiots, we know and we are aware that since he did, half the people in america couldn't have voted against him
the fact that i had to wait an extra few seconds for this page to load cause you littered it with garbage drives me nuts
it's a fun site, with people who don't like bush, poking fun and saying to the world "hey, just remember if you ever get pissed at americans that there are some of us out there who don't agree with everything that goes on"
and for the record
i dont' know how it is in other states but here in texas, just about everyone i know who voted bush voted for trivial reasons without watching a single debate or reading up on the candidates
most were just like "yah bush, he's the best"
since i live in a state like this, my vote is worth less than someone who lives in a smaller state
so does my 1 vote count less than someone's from maine?
and honestly, who really cares, he's president, let's move on, i looked at all the sites and chuckled at them all (not exactly for the same reasons, but i did laugh)
later
