Ad Implores Women To Break Up With Obama

Political ideology is significantly heritable. Your son is not the CLONE of his father, now is he? This doesn't mean that political ideology is 100% transmittable from parents to child.

This means that conservative parents can pop out a Patti Davis and liberal parents can pop out an Alex P. Keaton. It's not a one-way street where kids of conservative parents "discover" liberalism and enlightenment.

You're absolutely right. Besides, your example, with political families, is a false equivalency. Those families have an economic interest in the whole family being supportive of a certain party. Average families, I would submit, are much more diverse. Children grow up, go out into the world, and are shaped by experiences from there. They vote in what are their best interests as adults, same as their parents did.

It's not a random walk, nor is it always a conscious choice.

One of the strongest regularities in the empirical political science literature is the well-known correlation in parent and child partisan behavior. Until recently, this phenomenon was thought to result solely from parental socialization, but new evidence on genetic sources of behavior suggests it might also be due to heritability. In this article, the authors hypothesize that genes contribute to variation in a general tendency toward strength of partisanship. Using data collected at the Twins Days Festival, the authors compare the similarity of partisan strength in identical twins who share all of their genes to the similarity of partisan strength in nonidentical twins who share only half of their genes. The results show that heritability accounts for almost half of the variance in strength of partisan attachment, suggesting we should pay closer attention to the role of biology in the expression of important political behaviors.
And:

Fowler, Baker, and Dawes (2008) recently showed in two independent studies of twins that voter turnout has very high heritability. Here we investigate two specific genes that may contribute to variation in voting behavior. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, we show that individuals with a polymorphism of the MAOA gene are significantly more likely to have voted in the 2004 presidential election. We also find evidence that an association between a polymorphism of the 5HTT gene and voter turnout is moderated by religious attendance. These are the first results ever to link specific genes to political behavior.​
 


Ya, ok. :tongue: There just isn't enough data available.

Democrats are one of those........don't listen to what they say, watch what they do. They are lot further to the right then many people see.

Yeah, sure......uhuh!!

What have they been beating the drum about lately?

Sexual-assaults, child-abuse, and man-made climate change, not women-made climate change.


You mean the campus sexual assaults? Online campaigns against a certain columnist that had some truth regarding statistics from universities? Ooooh and then take statistics that are unreliable and other statistics that are limited in information and mixing them together and then, apparently, smoking a doobie before writing a column from a left wing site?

Yeah. That one was great.

The child abuse one is looking more like a public that has got in their head that they can vote someone off stage by generating a three ring circus. That seems to have both sides eaten up.

'Cept the gun=rape thing. That was absolutely insane.



Everyone knows that women's vehicles don't have exhaust pipes that pollute. They emit.

3 guesses what Obama is preaching about at the UN.
1. Climate change
2. Climate change
3. Climate change


Ok. So, he's going to stand up and talk crap and condemn a bunch more crap to a group of folks that regularly stand up to condemn other actions?

I'm worried.

Don't listen to what he says, watch what he does.

He usually ends up on his back foot on his followthrough and hooks it into the trees


Climate change issues took a back seat out of fear of lawsuits. Many of these third world countries have had corporations move there because they can avoid regulations. It was put off until later. I don't see much progress being made.

I find it difficult to take someone serious who when asked 'what is the greatest threat to mankind today', they say climate change.

Climate change in a nutshell is simply a means to end Capitalism in the world. Capitalism, the cause of every evil in the world.

A series of non sequiturs.
If Obama is touting climate change, then how is that taking a back seat? What lawsuits? What corporations have moved to third world countries? They mostly seem to go to Britain and Ireland.
There isnt progress made because there isnt a problem to solve. And even if there were, there isnt anyting the US can do. China is the biggest emitter of carbon and they have ignored the whole thing. India as well. The EU countries are all in violation of their carbon agreements.
