"Any Questions?"

Yes, one.

How can you be this brain dead and still draw breath without the help of machinery?

As I predicted, your silly straw man argumentr brought into account people who cannot, by law, register with any party, due to being underage.

Americans under the age of eighteen are 25.7% of the total population of the US,according to the latest census figures available. That's about 73,927,800 Americans who are not allowed to register yet.

You showed us how people who register to vote pick their political affiliation, so we have plain evidence of the choices that Americans make once they register. But you obviously cannot show us the political affiliations of those NOT registered.

I however, CAN show you that when Americans register to vote, according to your figures, the pick either the Republican or Democratic party 77.5% of the time. That trend can be expected to continue as those 73,927,800 Americans under the age of 18 register to vote.

So then, let's take an INTELLIGENT look at the numbers you have provided:

284,796,887 people in the US
Minus 73,927,800 not old enough to register
210,869,087 Americans elegible to register
Out of those, 110,000,000 registered either Democrat, or Republican (BTW, I am trusting your figures here, in light of your total lack of accuracy I shouldn't, but I am anyway).
62 million elegible but not registered
32 million registered minor parties.

That leaves 6,869,087 Americans unnaccounted for.

Your very figures actually prove that once Americans register, they register either Republican or Democrat 77.5% of the time.

Any questions?

Any questions?

Yes, why do you persist in trying claim that I said all kinds of things that I never said and claim I made "straw man" claims when I never engaged you on anything except this moronic statement;

Democrats an Republicans ARE the people. Not only that, but they are the VAST majority of the people.

The statement speaks for itself. If you meant to talk about something else, like registered voters, you could have done so. You also had a chance to modify your statement after I told you your statement was incorrect. But due to your low IQ or high ego, or both, you started to post gibberish to me.

The statement as you have now edited it (without being man enough to apologise) is equally moronic because it states an obvious fact. You seem to have a stranglehold on the obvious and were determined to share it with others.

You, boy, are pathetic.
