But I wonder if Cicero will add the TROLL population to the Independents, and the French, excluding the Irish, of course, to come up with a new Super Majority???

Dude, you can't argue with these guys.. They are not regular people... they are different, according to the latest poll. 49 percent rock headed, 55 percent gravel brained and 38 percent empty headed == 100 percent morons. lol
I understand the odds. Some conservatives only hear the Conservative view. Some are good people underneath and once they actually start looking into facts for themselves, with out the constant Right Wing Media, they see that the world is a different place than the once perceived it to be.
Mother Teresa stuck it out against all odds, and made progress one life at a time... I must have a Mother Teresa complex to attempt to convert the impossible cases... but hey, somebody's gotta do it.
Never give up!

Maybe you idiots don't know the difference between majority and plurality.
Here Cicero... now you know the difference too!
plurality –noun, ~the excess of votes received by the leading candidate, in an election in which there are three or more candidates, over those received by the next candidate ( distinguished from majority).
majority –noun, ~the amount by which the greater number, as of votes, surpasses the remainder ( distinguished from plurality).

Race became an issue the day obama walked on stage. THAT is a no brainer folks! Both parties knew it and they are BOTH playing the race card. BOTH!! Obama was selected by the progressives. And why? Because they knew that they could get their liberal progressive agenda through. And the progressives already knew that as soon as the conservatives or any 'white' person, people or group, vocally spoke out against obama.....they could easily label it RACIST!
BOTH parties and the media are not wasting any time or energy on this whole race issue. They are all crying wolf. Someday there may be a REAL race issue and no one is going to buy it! It will just be considered rhetoric! Kinda like it is all rhetoric now!!
Remember folks....obama got more white votes than McCain!! As for me.....I could care less if obama is white, black, purple or orange.....I DON'T LIKE HIS PROGRESSIVE GLOBAL POLITICS! And I feel the same way about Ms. Botox Pelosi!!!
And may I say again...both major parties are just a different side of the same coin. They are all on a power grab for our money!!!

Pluralism is, in the general sense, the acknowledgment of diversity. The concept is used, often in different ways, in a wide range of issues. In politics, pluralism is often considered by proponents of modern democracy to be in the interests of its citizens, and so political pluralism is one of its most important features. The term pluralism is also used to denote a theoretical standpoint on state and power - which to varying degrees suggest that pluralism is an adequate model of how power is distributed in societies. For information on the political theory of pluralism see Pluralism (political theory). In democratic politics, pluralism is a guiding principle which permits the peaceful coexistence of different interests, convictions and lifestyles. In this context it has normative connotations absent from its use to denote a theoretical standpoint. Unlike totalitarianism or particularism, pluralism acknowledges the diversity of interests and considers it imperative that members of society accommodate their differences by engaging in good-faith negotiation. One of the earliest arguments for pluralism came from James Madison in The Federalist Papers 10. Madison feared that factionalism would lead to in-fighting in the new American republic and devotes this paper to questioning how best to avoid such an occurrence. He posits that to avoid factionalism, it is best to allow many competing factions to prevent any one dominating the political system. This relies, to a degree, on a series of disturbances changing the influences of groups so as to avoid institutional dominance and ensure competition.
A majority, also known as a simple majority in the U.S., is a subset of a group consisting of more than half of the group. This should not be confused with a plurality, which is a subset having the largest number of parts. A plurality is not necessarily a majority, as the largest subset may be less than half of the entire group. In British English, majority and plurality are often used as synonyms; it can also refer to the margin of vote separating the first-place finisher from the second-place finisher, so that a candidate who wins by 1000 votes may be said to have received "a majority of 1000 votes". The term "overall majority" is used in British English to refer to the difference between the number of seats won by the winning party in an election and the combined number of seats for all the other parties in parliament.[1] The term "absolute majority" is used to indicate more than fifty percent of the vote.[2]

[Improve] the excess of votes received by the leading candidate, in an election in which there are three or more candidates, over those received by the next candidate (distinguished from majority ).
If you have an election and three people are running whoever gets over fifty percent of the vote is the majority and the other two candidates would be considered pluralists. When you split an amount between three and one has the majority the other two would be considered pluralist. The above is not entirely correct. A Majority is over half the votes, while a Plurality is the greatest number of votes but less than half. A plurality happens when less than half vote for a candidate that wins because the vote is split among more than two candidates. For example, candidate A gets 40% of the vote, candidate B gets 35%, and candidate C gets 25%, Candidate A wins by a plurality.
Sorry, Republicans are not the majority in the Tea Party but rather the PLURALITY. They do not capture the 51% MAJORITY.
You're even trying to redefine words to fit your agenda. Your understanding of the english language as well as your math blow. But I respect your willingness to disregard reality and logic to advance your parties agenda. The Fueher would appreciate such rhetoric.
The NAACP is currently the nation's largest anti-American hate group, with the biggest budget of any agitator organization right behind the ACLU. That answers the question for those who are not allergic to the truth.
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
