Mavric Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Some of these trends fit stereotypes: Those who pay attention to sports, either on their desktops or on mobile devices, are more likely to vote Republican. Those who listen to music, look for a job or peruse the personals — think younger, single searchers — are more likely to vote Democratic. And those most proficient with mobile devices are less likely to vote, because they’re more likely to be younger than those who use computers to navigate online. Take online banking: The average person who uses his or her computer to keep up with their finances is much more likely to vote than someone who checks in on a mobile device, and leans far more Republican.

tschu Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Video games being dead neutral is interesting. The "podcasts" dot is like the least surprising thing ever. Link to comment
killer cacti Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Video games being dead neutral is interesting. The "podcasts" dot is like the least surprising thing ever. But low turnout is no surprise for the video gamers. I listen to a lot of podcasts, but primarily sports podcasts, so what does that say? Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Maybe liberal Democrats would have more dates if they played fantasy sports more. Link to comment

HUSKER 37 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I was in the middle of sharing this with a cowboy poet that's a friend of a friend when it just disappeared...Didn't want to start a new thread and my quick search didn't result in a good home for it...so...please pardon the sidetrack and feel free to put it somewhere more appropriate... "A SHORT POEM YOU WON'T FORGETA bump in the road" remember that callous statement?I do recall, the President referring to the Benghazi incident as "a bump in the road." Today I heard an ex-Navy Seal being interviewed on Fox News regarding a book he has written about how to handle crisis situations in our lives. At the end of the interview he asked if he could make a comment on Benghazi and of course the anchor said yes. He then thanked Fox News for keeping the Benghazi story in the news, since other news organizations are not. He said the Seals who died deserve the public knowing the truth about the whole affair.The poem was written by a MARINE CORPS Officer (ANON). THE BATTLING BOYS OF BENGHAZI We're the battling boys of BenghaziNo fame, no glory, no paparazzi.Just a fiery death in a blazing hellDefending our country we loved so well.It wasn't our job, but we answered the call,fought to the Consulate and scaled the wall.We pulled twenty Countrymen from the jaws of fateLed them to safety, and stood at the gate.Just the two of us, and foes by the score,But we stood fast to bar the door.Three calls for reinforcement, but all were denied,So we fought, and we fought, and we fought 'til we died.We gave our all for our Uncle Sam,But Barack Obama didn't give a damn.Just two dead seals who carried the loadNo thanks to us we were just "Bumps In The Road". So will this reach every American with a computer? Or do we act like the press and give a pass to the incompetent people who literally sat there in the White House and watched the Seal's execution on live streaming video and did absolutely nothing? The Obama Administration obviously won't be held accountable because we apparently accept Hilary Clinton's statement, "What difference does it make?" Link to comment
