“A national survey of 1,066 registered voters conducted by Poll Position on Oct. 30, three and a half weeks after Steve Jobs’ death, asked which of three high-tech companies — Apple, Google or Facebook — had the brightest future [margin of error of ±3%],” Philip Elmer-DeWitt reports for Fortune.
“Apple with 43.6% came out well ahead of Google (25.9%) and Facebook (9.6%),” P.E.D. reports. “We expected 18-29 year olds — many of them raised on iPods and iPhones — to see Apple’s future as particularly bright. But who knew the company had such strong support among Republicans [50.7%]?”
All of the numbers in the full article here.

Good for apple!
In before the flames. Lol
Not a flame, but an observation: You can’t have a political ideology that hates achievement, hates innovation, hates consensual trading, without some of it rubbing off on you such that even “fans” end up hating capitalist organizations like Apple.
Because we see the facts as clearly as the fact that Clinton-era democrat over-reaching caused the housing crisis which helped fuel the widespread economic malaise in which the US remains mired even today.

Thanks fr posting this link, count on it that this will never see the light of day!
Not from the lamestream media, that’s for sure. They’re too busy performing a high tech lynching of Herman Cain to bother with actual facts. They can’t have blacks considering ideas that would free them from generations of slave-like dependence on government subsistence living. Without blacks voting 98% for Obama, he’d lose in an even worse landslide than he faces today.
John Edwards can run for president twice and be cheating on his cancer-stricken wife — who he caused to get cancer by forcing her to get extensive fertility treatments to replace a dead son — while fathering a child with his mistress.
The media utters not a peep. Because he’s a democrat.
Herman Cain gets high-tech lynched over nothing just like Clarence Thomas because without the blacks voting in lockstep for democrats, the democrat party has no chance in any election anywhere in the USA.
The democrat-controlled media need to keep the blacks on the reservation at all costs, regardless of morality or destroying people’s lives with falsehoods and slander.
And the more public education fails the black people, the easier they are to control. The more spawning welfare queens dependent on the government and the fewer Herman Cains, the better is it for the dems to continue their charade of “caring.” Actual caring would be helping people get out of generations of subsistence living, not continuing it ad infinitum in order to secure a bloc of votes.
Lib Med & SB – Truer words could not be spoken, both your comments show what I’ve said for many years, that the left is truly blinded by their own utter hypocrisy and double standards.
I’d guess it’s from Mitt Romney’s or Rick Perry’s campaigns. They made sure they got this info to Politico.
Think about it. While Cain could do well in the primary, even top Republican pundits feel that Cain couldn’t carry the country. So, it stands to reason that Liberals would LOVE to see him run. The ONLY ones that have anything to gain from this story would be the other Republican contenders… Because that would put them back in the running.
Yes, good intentions gone awry. Clinton, Cisneros, and the current Governor of NY, Cuomo, all played a role that laid the seeds of the housing bubble.
As did George Bush (And Clinton) by having greenspan keep the interest rates below the rate of inflation. There is plenty of real blame to go around.
But I disagree on the “good intentions” part. These people are not well meaning, but misguided. Clinton, et. al. were not doing this because they wanted to help people.
Government is a shake down racket. You tighten the screws on industry ,and you can be assured they will give you money lest you tighten the screws even further.
Nobody loves simplicity more than conservatives. It’s liberals who take joy in making the world more complicated than it is, such as creating giant government beauracracies to centrally plan our lives. That it mind, it’s fitting that conservatives would lean more toward Apple while libs prefer the mess of a Droid lifestyle.
I really fail to see where the GOP wants smaller government, fewer regulations but are willing to put more regulations in place and create huge bureaucratic apparatuses to deny women the right to choose whether they live or must die to protect the life of a fetus, which will die anyway. Get government out of women’s bodies!
Huge bureaucratic apparatuses to deny women the right to kill babies? Never had them before roe v wade, why would we need them after its over turned?
Libs love to make issues up!
Now EVERYBODY HOLD THEIR BREATH to see this news appearing on CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS…etc
I said it ever since this BS crisis was used to put monkey boy into the White House.
For what it’s worth, investors.com–and the Investors’ Business Daily–is an extremely conservative publication. Their opinion page reads like something out of Fox News, so take what they say about anything political, especially if it bashes Democrats, liberals… with a mountain of salt.
Do you refute the facts laid out in the article?

Do you know many Apple employees?
I do, and to a person they are liberals.
Perhaps it’s liberals who create insanely great things while conservatives consume them? That would explain the swing from surplus to deficit across several US administrations.
If you really believe this statement, I have a piece of swamp land in Florida I would love to sell you!
What is your next dumb statement? Conservatives are evil capitalist?
What huge government apparatuses? We don’t want the women prosecuted, we want the doctors and clinicians who perform those abortions to be shut down. You don’t need some new government agency to do that. Once it becomes illegal to murder unborn children, the abortion industry will collapse largely under its own weight.
After we destroy the factory system of murder, the rate of abortions will be so low as to not be worth addressing on a case by case basis. The reversal of abortion culture in this country will help to progressively lower the number of women willing to risk their lives having their children sucked out of their wombs without the help of a “professional” as the years go by.
Only a liberal would think we intend to create a federal Department of Abortions in order to regulate murder.
“Once it becomes illegal to murder unborn children, the abortion industry will collapse largely under its own weight.”
Yup, make something illegal and it NEVER EVER happens again. Liberals/conservatives, all the same in that if you drink the magic water, all will be fine, magically! 🙂
Interesting how MDN gave this no coverage:
“You’re blowing it with Fox News,” Jobs said, according to the book. “The axis today is not liberal and conservative, the axis is constructive-destructive, and you’ve cast your lot with the destructive people. Fox has become an incredibly destructive force in our society.”
I couldn’t agree more.
You lie. Like a typical liberal. To yourself worst of all.

Instead of regurgitating whatever the vomitous Maddow puked out last night, how about you read the facts and wise up for a real change:

What makes me smile about Steve Jobs and all the liberal leaders in Apple. They are closet conservative, free-market driven capitalists.
For example:
1. Apple is about making a quality product not about making money. But a quality product is a core principal of capitalism!
2. Apple is an innovator. Innovation is another principal of capitalism!
3. Apple is making profits. Making a profit… capitalism!
4. Apple key leaders are making millions upon millions. Keeping want you make is capitalism!
5. Beliefs about teacher unions or how teacher unions are in the way of education.
6. Hiring the best people… capitalism!
Libs should be boycotting Apple products not buying apple products and praising Steve Jobs.
Yes, democrats are commies, we’ve heard that before…
R2 your right on the money!!!!
@auramac
Fox news is no more different then MSNBC Both are political based cable news channels. MSNBC is as bad or worse then Fox News.
Even Hillery Clinton said she had the fairest representation of her views when she was running for the presidency then any other news station.
If your a liberal (as Jobs was) you think Fox sucks and is bias and ruining the world. If you are a Conservative you feel MSNBC is wrecking the world. As they are, Matthews, Madcow, and Schultz are all democratic shills in the highest order, spewing reverse hate propaganda.
***come on now, I need the “so typical” liberal grammar police to comment on my grammar, to show how intelligent they are.***
Even Hillery Clinton said she had the fairest representation of her views when she was running for the presidency then any other news station. That was Fox News she was talking about.
What a load of horse shit posted by the usual neocons here. You all really do need to get out of your basements and take a look the real world before it disappears.
Do you refute the facts laid out in this article?

“A significant driver of economic growth during the Bush administration was home equity extraction, in essence borrowing against the value of the home to finance personal consumption. Free cash used by consumers from equity extraction doubled from $627 billion in 2001 to $1,428 billion in 2005 as the housing bubble built, a total of nearly $5 trillion dollars over the period. Using the home as a source of funds also reduced the net savings rate significantly.”

And what built the housing bubble? The failed policies of the Clinton administration forcing lenders to make bad loans to “people of color” who had no means of paying them back. Period.
I’ll take that as a “no.”
Sweet baby Jesus. What a bunch of fucking lunatics crawl out of the woodwork on this site. “The woodwork creaks and out come the freaks”. Sums up most of you assholes nicely.
