Lies, white lies...

Let's look at the traditional left-leaning voters. According to Counterpunch, we have this breakdown:

23% of gays voted for Bush; 36% of union members voted for Bush; 42% of folks earning between $15k and $30k voted for Bush; 11% of African-Americans voted for Bush, and 44% of Latinos voted for Bush.

Not huge percentages, I suppose, but it must have added up. Contrast this with some other percentages:

61% of white men voted for Bush, and 54% of white women.

Vote by income is striking; I'm going to put the whole list up here because it's so informative.
