HINT: IT DOESN’T INVOLVE THE GOP
The black vote is power – at least for Democrats. Has been for decades. In fact a quick glance at election results reveals that black support for “Republican” presidential nominees hasn’t cleared the 15 percent threshold in half a century.
The GOP is working feverishly to change this dynamic, but there’s only so much an army of Alex P. Keaton wannabes can do … and there’s only so much “outreach” (a.k.a. lip service) can accomplish.
Here’s the basic breakdown: At a time when Republicans are losing the support of fiscal conservative/ social libertarian voters, Democrats are shoring up their core constituency of black voters. Not only that, they’re doing so despite deteriorating economic conditions for blacks.
When Barack Obama took office in 2009, the labor participation rate among blacks was 63.2 percent. Today it has dropped to 60.9 percent. Inflation-adjusted median household income among blacks has also declined – from $34,880 to $33,321. Black homeownership is also slipping – from 46.1 to 43.3 percent.
Meanwhile, the percentage of blacks living in poverty has climbed under Obama – from 25.8 to 27.2 percent. Black food stamp use is also rising – climbing from 7.4 million to 11 million since Obama took office.
“Republicans should ask black voters this question: What has Obama done for you lately?” black conservative columnist Deroy Murdock wrote recently for National Review.
Well … somebody should.
Despite these statistics, the “black monolith” at the polls not only endures … but is strengthening. According to U.S. Census data released last year, “blacks were the only race or ethnic group to show a significant increase between the 2008 and 2012 elections in the likelihood of voting” – climbing from 64.7 percent to 66.2 percent.
Overall there was a decline in eligible voters casting ballots – from 63.6 percent in 2008 to 61.8 percent in 2012.
“Over the last five presidential elections, the share of voters who were racial or ethnic minorities rose from just over one in six in 1996 to more than one in four in 2012,” one Census data analyst noted.
As Bill Wilson of the Market Research Foundation recently noted, Democrats showed off their black turnout operation in last year’s Virginia gubernatorial race – matching 2012 turnout for Obama in an off-year election and delivering a narrow victory for Democrat Terry McAuliffe.
“Our research showed how the black vote was boosted dramatically in Richmond City, Norfolk, Newport News, Petersburg and other Democratic strongholds – giving McAuliffe his margin of victory,” Wilson wrote.
Thanks to this effort, black turnout statewide in Virginia increased by 25 percent from the 2009 gubernatorial race.
Last week reporter McKay Coppins of BuzzFeed published a nifty writeup on the status of GOP outreach efforts headed into the 2014 and 2016 election cycles.
“After announcing early in 2013 that the party would spend $10 million on an ambitious minority engagement initiative, the RNC has hired at least 42 black and Latino field representatives, spreading them across the country in key states with the mandate to lay a permanent groundwork for future Republican candidates,” Coppins wrote. “They have recruited local surrogates, identified sympathetic business organizations and churches, and organized grassroots voter contacting.”
Additionally, Coppins noted how Republican National Committee chairmen Reince Priebus was “preaching a gospel of inclusion and diversity” to black colleges and media outlets.
To what end, though? “Republicans” could double their black support and still find themselves on the losing end of national elections – especially as they alienate more and more of the nation’s shrinking white electorate.
“It’s past time that the GOP’s lily white cadre of dark-suited, red-tied, two-faced, big-spending, liberty-depriving, imperialistic, crony capitalistic, currency manipulating, morally sanctimonious, special interest suckling politi-whores went away for good .. and let people who actually stand for the things they claim to stand for take a crack at this,” we wrote following the 2012 election (a race in which we endorsed Libertarian Gary Johnson’s presidential bid).
Believe it or not, things have gotten even worse for the GOP since then as it relates to surrendering both our freedoms and our free markets.
Which brings us to our point: The GOP is done. Sure there may be “Republican” wave elections in the future – possibly even in the 2014 midterms – but the larger tide is moving in the wrong direction. And even when “Republicans” win, taxpayers (current and future generations) still lose … with the GOP establishment becoming increasingly hostile to limited government perspectives with each passing day.
There is a way to break up the black Democratic monolith but trust us … it’s got nothing to do with “GOP outreach.”

You Vote Republi-can’t!
I’ll Vote Demo-crap!
Anyway you dress ’em up
They both smell like a Rat!
Line up at the polls
Everybody Come!
Our choices are clearly limited
To Twiddle Dee or Twiddle Dum!
That’s “GrandTwiddle Dee” and “GrandTwiddle Dum” – if you please!
How does one presidential nominee/incumbent get 97% of a demographic voting in their favor?
It’s called racism. But you are only allowed to point out racism if it’s being practiced by whites, not blacks-so get with the program.
The sad thing about much of black society is that they think government and the Dems give two shits about them and has the answer to their community woes.
Where has black progression in society been since the Civil Rights era?
LBJ drove the final nail into the coffin of black family with his “great society” and now they are mired in generational welfarism because many back families don’t have the stability of the family unit. Instead, it’s EBT cards, sports, cool shoes and the gangsta lifestyle. The dearth of father figures is filled by rap artists and basketball players.
Republicans aren’t solving any problems for blacks either, in that one regard Republicans are far more honest than Dems.
If blacks and black communities don’t pull themselves out of their generational poverty they have no one to blame but themselves.
More to the point…why does one nominee only get 3% of the vote?
You see, the GOP ticket (at least on the Federal level) is becoming like the Alamo. The last bastions of white, old, angry, scared, racist, gun toting, bible beating, good ole boy, tin foil hat wearing, gov’t hating voters are largely confined to the old confederacy and parts of the midwest. It’s an ever shrinking group in America and all they can really do is elect reps to the House to just generally gum up the cogs of gov’t and make life miserable for everyone.
Really, you fucked up piece of lying SHIT! Is that why since Obama was elected they have taken control of the House,picked up TWO Senate seats and will likely control the Senate after 2014 mid-terms, GOP controls 30 of 50 GOV’S and for the FIRST time since the Civil War the majority of BOTH the Senate and House in states.
Problem Democrats have is politics is really LOCAL, even in federal elections.Your American hating,partial-birth abortion loving,perverted gay marriage friends in the Democrat Party have gotten away with this SHIT cause it has always been about the ‘economy stupid’.
Obamacare has eliminated the FREE pass Obama and the dems have received cause they don’t trust you anymore.That happens when you take away their doctor and raise their deductible 1,000 %!
Like I said, the House has been nicely redrawn to benefit homogenous districts of angry, white men to ostensibly keep them in the majority for at least the next ten years. No argument there.
However, the Senate is a different kettle of fish. It’s possible the GOP may take over the Senate, but again this is a state by state proposition and there are many states turning to purple bit by bit that are trending to D’s.
The presidency is out of reach for the GOP and unfortunately for them, veto power and executive orders can circumvent their agenda.
Also, you’re foul language and abuse is typical of right wing hatemongers. You’ve made my point for me. When you can’t engage in rational debate b/c you have no ground to stand on…you turn to slurs.
Slurs? In my opinion you are an American hating,lying,uninformed socialist loving,perverted bastard that hates Christians and Jews!
Other than that I ain’t no problem with ya. :-)))))
Go call mommy and she will make it all better!
So because people have differing opinions that you about matters which affect our lives here (given we are in a democracy after all) you resort to name calling and epithets.
And the world wonders why Nero is playing his fiddle to our country’s demise.
Please.Have some cheese with that Whine!
Libs/socialists like you are all the same.You call those that you disagree with racists and and hate on people of the Christian faith and when challenged with the truth and facts, cry foul.
Well in the case of 2008 and 2012, the 3% of the black vote that didn’t go to the Rep nominee was because the other nominee was Obama. Turds like you think that if you keep repeating that nonsense over and over that it will magically work some wonders this fall. Good luck with all that.
It is always entertaining to hear a privileged conservative who hates social programs explain what is best for the black man.
Especially when so called conservative stokes racism by writing and publishing articles about black men dating white women and wetbacks.
How does interracial marriage stoke racism?
Does it make any difference when it comes from a self made black conservative that hates social programs?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlsHNzp5SoM
Yes, they are colloquially known as Uncle Tom’s. Clarence Thomas and Dr. Parsons are two gleaming examples.
That’s a epithet that white liberal’s love to toss around to describe a black man that doesn’t agree with them. You really think Dr. Carson or Mr. Sowell really care about impressing white America? I think they are trying to reign their own back in with tough talk about the disgusting culture of poverty that’s been perpetuated by the left.
Don’t forget Bill Cosby too.
You can probably add the dude that created “The Boondocks” too, he tells it pretty straight.
I’m suggesting they’re looking for that sweet, sweet sugar of a cash handout (contract) from Uncle Ailes and Fox News to be paid mouthpieces for white, right wing media
I think you meant “they’re” and do you really think that Carson or Sowell need a handout? They’re both free thinking self made men of distinction, who would never lift a finger to do anything they didn’t believe in.
No, I don’t. However, my problem with them is that they denigrate those people who do need assistance.
No they certainly do not, they denigrate those people who have been conditioned to think that entitlements are the only way to survive.
They also denigrate the system for producing such people. They(Carson & Sowell) are both quality people that are trying to help their own race by sending a message that most of them don’t want to hear.
The left is terrified of a black conservative, I was going to say an intelligent black conservative but that would be redundant.
Yes, like the majority of food stamp recipients being single, white women. They’ve been conditioned.
The gap is narrow between black and whites…
Percent of recipients who are white
38.8 %
Percent of recipients who are black
39.8 %
Percent of recipients who are Hispanic
15.7 %
Percent of recipients who are Asian
2.4 %
Percent of recipients who are Other
3.3 %
US Department of Health and Human Services, U.S. Department of Commerce, CATO Institute
Research Date: 1.1.2014
So you’ll start telling off those white recipients then?
Absolutely, there is no reason for able bodied people to not work for a living, no matter their race.
Ok. That’s good to know. Cause when I look at the history of your comments, you never seem to actually do that. You focus exclusively on black people when discussing gov’t assistance.
Helps to ask questions.
That’s because he is a racist.
So are you also this tough on the biggest handout takers in America….i.e. Exxon/Mobile and the fossil fuel industry?
Uncle Thomas is more accurately known as a houseboy. Carson is just a prosperity thumper.
Who the fuck is Dr. Parsons?
Who is the “conservative” you are referring to???
Me, and a few others, are THE ONLY Conservatives on here….and I likely care more for the Black Community than brain-dead F*#king idiot liberals, like you, who rob black voters blind, and then you don’t give a F*#k if their children don’t have fathers….or go to schools not fit for a Third-Worlder….
Might be a good idea for these Race-hateful Dumb@$$ to START listening to a Conservative. Listening to you left-wingers has not done much good…
Add to that demographic: single women, hispanics, young voters.
Unbeknownst to many, “Blacks”, like “whites”, are not monolith. Policy, matters to black constituents just as much as it does to constituents of other demographics. If the GOP wants to endear itself to Black voters then it should curb rhetoric and implement policy that confronts economic disparities, stop fomenting the myth of voter fraud, and live up to the “Christian” ideals that it loves to swear by.
Unless Republicans want to surrender completely on entitlements, it won’t make a difference. The only policy that mattered in shifting black voters to the Democrat Party was the New Deal. FDR got 71% of the black vote when Democrats were making it tough for blacks to even vote in the South.
Yes and all those same democrats left the democratic party and became republicans after the voting rights act. Almost all racists are republicans. It did not start out that way, but its that way now.
Do you not see the irony of claiming almost all Republicans are racist in the context of 97% of the black voting population voted for Obama?
If you think that racists only exist en masse in the Republican party then you are not fully comprehending reality.
Our glorious government loves racism. It’s on almost every government form anyone has filled out.
“Check the appropriate box for race:”
“Do you not see the irony of claiming almost all Republicans are racist in the context of 97% of the black voting population voted for Obama?”
But that is NOT what Jerry said. He said “almost all racists are republicans” – NOT “almost all Republicans are racist” as you claim. Huge difference. And I am not saying that I agree with Jerry 100% but just saying that you are distorting what he said.
Tell me how that changes my statement.
If you cannot understand the difference in what Jerry posted and what you claim he posted, I cannot help you out – sorry.
That’s because it makes no difference in my statement, that’s why you can’t “help me”.
BREAKING NEWS…..
DOJ AND ERIC HOLDER BUSY WITH CHINESE HACKERS….’OPERATION BOBBY HARRELL’ ON HOLD….JACK BAUER ASSIGNED FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION…24 HOUR ASSIGNMENT…
AGENT ‘FLY’
“Check the box for race” is usually voluntary.
Yea, but you’re missing my point. Government loves divvying up people by race. They are the largest race pimps on the planet.
The Romans invented the census no? What does America do every ten years as well? In fact, what do all organized first world democracies do about every ten years (some even more)?…It’s a census.
They capture information on all types of demographics by age, race, income, sex, etc. to better design and plot and allocate resources. It’s literally been done for 1000s of years.
Stop listening to Fox and Rush.
Did the Romans have check boxes on ethnicity?
lol…I can’t stand Fox and Rush, sorry to burst your projection.
Sorry, I meant Savage, Hannity and Beck.
lol, nope.
Ok, ok…Drudge and Breitbart
Nope, nada, zip.
I’ll give you a hint though:
LRC
That’s the only hint I’m giving.
https://www.medialrc.com/
lol, nope
So you never answered the question, did the Romans have check boxes for ethnicity?
Also, if they would have done that(because they didn’t), would that mean that it is acceptable for government to distinguish people by race?
Let’s modernize. Here’s from the wiki page. Turns out our founders (who we know were racist and slave owners) were the first to ask about race in the census:
Census 1790
In 1790, first official year of the U.S. Census, these questions were asked, four of which had racial implications:
Number of free white males aged under 16 years
Number of free white males aged 16 years and upward
Number of free white females
Number of other free persons
Number of slaves[9]
In 1800 and 1810, the age question regarding free white males was more detailed.[9]
Census 1820
The 1820 census built on the questions asked in 1810 by asking age
questions about the slaves who were formerly owned. Also the term
“colored” enters the census nomenclature. In addition, a question
stating “Number of foreigners not naturalized” was included.[9]
Census 1830
For the 1830 census, a new question which stated “The number of White persons who were foreigners not naturalized” was included.[9] This reflected the growth of Nativist movements in American society at this time – as well as combining the number and age question of both slaves and free colored individuals.[citation needed]
Census 1850
The 1850 census saw a dramatic shift in the way information about residents was collected. For the first time, free persons were listed individually instead of by head of household. There were two questionnaires: one for free inhabitants and one for slaves. The question on the free inhabitants schedule about color was a column that
was to be left blank if a person was white, marked “B” if a person was black, and marked “M” if a person was mulatto.
Slaves were listed by owner, and classified by gender and age, not individually, and the question about color was a column that was to be marked with a “B” if the slave was black and an “M” if mulatto.[9]
Census 1870
For the 1870 census, the color/racial question was expanded to include “C” for Chinese, which was a category that included all east Asians, as well as “I” for American Indians.[9]
Census 1890
For 1890, the Census Office changed the design of the population questionnaire. Residents were still listed individually, but a new questionnaire sheet was used for each family. Additionally, this was the first year that the census distinguished between different East Asian
races, such as Japanese and Chinese,due to increased immigration. This census also marked the beginning of
the term “race” in the questionnaires. Enumerators were instructed to write “White,” “Black,” “Mulatto,” “Quadroon,” “Octoroon,” “Chinese,” “Japanese,” or “Indian.”[9]
Census 1900
For 1900, the “Color or Race” question was slightly modified, removing the term “Mulatto”. Also, there was an inclusion of an “Indian Population Schedule” in which “enumerators were instructed to use a special expanded questionnaire for American Indians living on reservations or in family groups off of reservations.” This expanded
version included the question “Fraction of person’s lineage that is white.”[9]
TL; DR
Did you answer the question? Tell me if you think it’s acceptable for government to classify race, and if it is, how is that different from racism?
Racism is the belief one race is superior to all or any others. Classifying a race, as we do all species, is merely counting heads.
“Classifying a race, as we do all species, is merely counting heads.”
So tell me, if there are no differences due to race, why bother “classifying” them?
Why is government do such a thing if there’s no different between counting a “black head or white head”?
Because a black head and a white head ARE two different things. It is an accurate descriptive level of detail.
How are they different other than color?
Or is your claim, that government is simply tracking the color of people for no reason other than it likes numbers broken down by color?
If it’s good enough for our founders, it’s good enough for me.
So.
What’s your point?
Are you home schooled? Church schooled?
Who cares? I bet he/she didn’t spend 20 years worshipping Marxism and Jerimiah Wright while indoctrinating his/her children to hate America like Barock and Moochelle?
Are you going to answer my question? I’ll answer your question, if you answer mine and tell me how the inverse changes my statement.
So democrats angry over civil rights joined the party that passed the civil rights act? Brilliant logic there. The shift began 30 years before for both parties. The proximate cause was the New Deal, despite liberal wish casting wanting it to be about the civil rights movement.
Not true, but a convenient myth for Democrats to try to purge themselves of the stain of their race record, given that so much of their form of argument these days is to call their opponents racist. The most obvious reason why the narrative that Southern white voters shifted to the GOP because of 1960’s civil rights legislation is false is that Eisenhower had already won the Southern vote as a Republican nearly a decade earlier.
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2013/04/30/southern_whites_shift_to_the_gop_predates_the_60s_118172.html
The shift of white voters in the South began in the 1920’s and 1930’s and was not completed until the 1990’s/2000’s, yet Democrats keep trying to tie a 70 year process to one period that falls about halfway in the middle of the process.
Here is a useful thought experiment. If there was an exodus to the GOP over civil rights in the 1960s, you should be able to name some segregationist politicians other than Strom Thurmond that switched parties. It is tougher than you think. All of the prominent opponents of integration remained Democrats til the day they died.

CL opines “Unless Republicans want to surrender completely on entitlements, it won’t make a difference. ”
And your basis for this ridiculous statement is something that took place in 1933????
If by “something” you mean the black vote shifting to the Democrat Party, then yes that is the basis for my 100% factually accurate statement that the black vote left the Republican party over entitlements. And these voters migrated to a party that was openly hostile to them having the most basic rights. Entitlements trumped Bull Conner. So the idea that the key to wooing black voters back to the GOP is separate from the entitlement issues that led them away is ahistorical and, to use your word, ridiculous. The burden is on the person making such a silly argument to support it. Shocking that you fail to do so.
The ridiculous statement you made is the one I quoted above. There is nothing “100% factually accurate” about that statement. I am very familiar with how you operate on here – smoke and mirrors and blatant lies – and I never expected you to respond in any other fashion.
Black voters left the GOP over entitlements. You want to have a discussion about wooing them back that does not involve a discussion of entitlements. Because history is hard, I guess. Who is the silly one?
Bull shit!Slavery and segregation were sins and a stain on the history of this country.
However ‘blacks’ are now enslaved on a perpetual welfare train that has destroyed a third generation of black families. 75% of black children don’t have a father at home.
Blacks vote Democrat because that party delivers the free housing,food stamps,Medicaid,UNLIMITED Obama phones etc… .unfortunately by making a ‘deal’ with the Devil (Democrat Party they also get poverty,poor schools and violent communities.
wrong I had a father at home as well as many others and not all democrats vote the same party I sense you have a major problem when it comes to black I maybe wrong but their are more whites and others Americans who get assistants for the government also such as Medicare Medicaid ebt unemployment , housing assistant and much more so it not just one race but all
For those interested in why Blacks wont support Republicans ,keep a watch on this thread.
A couple of the “Usual Suspects” have already appeared.
Now remember three things:1.)They actually “like” Blacks 2.) they know whats “good for them(something called “conservative principles” which they cant even explain) and3.) none of them are Republicans(they just vote for them)
Let em have it boys!
Yiheeeeee!
What you don’t realize is that I am actually half black. Which half you ask? The lower half.
Ol Ellington !
He cant stand it!Knew we could count on him.C’mon the rest of you boys are out there.
Let Er Rip!
Ol, whoever you are hiding behind a lame faux name, can’t stand what?
I knew that.
LMAO!
Nicely done captain long dong.
1.)They actually “like” Blacks 2.) they know whats “good for them(something called “conservative principles” which they cant even explain) and3.) none of them are Republicans(they just vote for them)
TBG will play.
1.)They actually “like” Blacks 2.) they know whats “good for them(something called “conservative principles” which they cant even explain) and3.) none of them are Republicans(they just vote for them)
Doesn’t sound much like Keaton, McManus, Fenster and Verbal Kint anymore, eh?
I agree that populations that vote for one party are usually badly served by their politicians, who feel above the wrath of the voters. So why not talk about how to break the white monolith? Then we could rid of some of the corrupt, self-serving politicians in South Carolina.
You need to do some homework. You sound like a Dumb@$$…
Whites vote in both parties. There are idiots whites, and the Smart ones vote R.
Excellent point. For as much as white victimhood bellyaches about blacks constantly voting for D’s. There are twice as many white folks in this state voting for R’s….and look where that’s gotten us over these last 5 decades.
Obama and Holder hate this country.Ain’t no doubt about it.Both of them are lawless in regards to our Constitution.
Obama and the Democratic Party socialists/communists in congress pass unconstitutional laws and Holder and his DOJ do whatever they ask him to do.
One looks to destroy this country with policies that destroy our economy,our standing in the international arena and our cultural/moral foundations. The other looks the other way.
One goal by both of these men and the Obama regime…bring America to its knees! Both are evil, in my opinion.
The ACA proved that.
Here’s my remix of your words:
“Bush and Ashcroft hated this country.Ain’t no doubt about it.Both of them were lawless in regards to our Constitution.
Bush and the GOP facists in congress pass unconstitutional laws and Ashcroft, cheney, Rumsfeld and the DOJ did whatever he asked them to do.
Bush looked to destroy this country with policies that destroyed our economy,our standing in the international arena and our cultural/moral foundations. Ashcroft looked the other way.
One goal by both of these men and the Bush regime…was to bring America to its knees! Both are evil, in my opinion.
The Iraq war proved that.”
Won’t work.Obama is a ‘closet’ muslim . His daddy gave him his mission.
Just ask Israel.
Yes, he, Alinsky, Soros and the weather underground meet nightly to plot the destruction of Israel.
Not sure about that. In my opinion Obama has a ‘heart’ for the radical Islamists,muslim brotherhood and Iran. His policies say such.
Just ask Israel.
You do realize Israel basically stole historical Palestinian lands in 1947 to form their state right?
You also realize that Israel continues to defy international prohibitions on illegal settlements in disputed lands?
Just sayin’
You do know there was never a nation called Palestine. There was Trans-Jordan. And Jordan still doesn’t want them, neither does Egypt. But it never takes long for a leftist to start up with the Jew hatred.
Check and mate:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_Palestine
Absolute bollocks. Did you read what you just posted? A freaking UN declaration deal done with the PLO, who no longer exist, tell me, who is in charge then, Hamas or Fatah? They are a non-state entity, but this really just demonstrates how ignorant you are historically, Ottoman Empire, 1923, British partition, Balfour, Trans-Jordan Hashemites, pan-Arab nationalism after the six day war, etc. There has never been in history a nation of Palestine.
Can you show me Israel’s state declaration prior to 1947?
Israel wants to be accepted by the UN and Palestine as a state, but they are in violation of UN security council resolutions, and do not accept Palestine as a state – though the UN does.
The State of Palestine is a sovereign state in the Levant that is recognized by the United Nations.
Man.You really do hate Jews, don’t ya? Are you on the ‘rug’ now praying for a ‘nuke ‘ into Jerusalem?
Just askin’
Ok, you’ve now crossed over into Troll-ville. No more engagement with you.
where the poof of that also Israel really cannot not say that or prove they has a history that the bible says and tell us about it there in plain view they rejected their own who is Jesus Christ and they went against god will so what can they say
millions or Americans voted for him so we could have a chance in fairness and healthcare we voted twice because we saw down the road we saw hope we saw justice we saw sweet peace remember bush got us in wars that was not our fight he went against the united nations wishes he drained our surplus that Clinton build up he did not care about the poor he loved the rich the oil companies which he had a big stake in he did and when he left he left a world of mess that we are still trying to overcome so Obama is not evil he not what the foolish so call Christians says and that my opinion with facts
60% of the Democratic voter base is made up of whites. What white monolith are you speaking of?
So technically you’re’ revealing that Blacks, and democrats are Racist @$$-holes…and Liberal-Tarians are F*#King idiots, because the GOP is not Conservative enough…but Liberal-tarians still don’t have a F*#king clue on how to attract them…
As if we did not already know that….
U could call them on their Obama-phone and offer them a free upgrade to an GOP-fone, or a Conserva-phone. You could promise them expanded EBT cards, that they can reload using their GOP-fone on the new app called WeCare. And you can send them free pizzas called Herman Cain’s.
You could give them a GOP-fone app that let’s them vote by the phone, but always has them vote for the GOP. Or just make it harder for them all to vote, and it will even out.
More blacks living off the gov. = advantage Obama
More blacks receiving handouts = advantage Obama
Fewer paying for their own homes = advantage Obama
To understand the other side one must first learn to think like the other side. Looks like the DEMS have rewarded the black vote handsomely. Now, tell a brother where to get one of them free phones.
Free phone service was started under Reagan, expanded under Clinton and Bush, and exploited to the Nth by Obama.
Thank God I live in America!
Funny how many on there think black voters shifted to the Dem Party over race. It was about entitlements. Or, more specifically, the New Deal. FDR got 71% percent of the black vote in 1936 despite the party’s atrocious record on civil rights. The percentage was up near 80% around the time Democrats were fighting back Republican senator Robert Taft’s proposed civil rights bill in 1946.
Funny how many on there think black voters shifted to the Dem Party over race. It was about entitlements.

way to court their vote, einstein!
I’m not courting anything, moron. I am stating historical fact.
I’m not courting anything

I knew that.
Will Ben Carson be the leader to Clean up the hideous mess of Obama, and help turn this nation around???
Carson could KILL the Black vote from whoring itself, for nothing, over and over…and bring this country together, instead of tearing it apart like Obama and Rev. Wright want to do…to feed their Greed and Power machines…
“Will Ben Carson be the leader to Clean up the hideous mess of Obama, and help turn this nation around???”
You sure dream big, Grand Theory…
I just love these type of blogs. It brings out all the “I’m not a racist” racists and their BS stereotypes.
All you have to do is read the comments section of these posts to know without a doubt that if you are Black, Hispanic, a single female, a working female, have a daughter, are gay or have a gay relative you love, think you might need Social Security or Medicare to help when you are too old or too sick to work; or think everyone should have access to quality health care, you are a fool to vote for a Republican.
You might want to add to that list people who do not believe money = free speech or that corporations are people.
Take heart. Apparently our current US Supreme Court (by 5 to 4 decisions) has declared racism dead in America. Hooray!!!!
SCOTUS voted to allow the extermination of 50,000,000 children since Roe v.Wade.
You love that ruling depraved one, don’t ya!
I think if you look back at the Roe decision the justices did not call for the aborting of 50,000,000 fetuses.
Instead, they ruled that the gov’t reach does not extend to the private lives of womens’ wombs. A pretty libertarian and conservative position if you ask me.
That decision destroyed the very SOUL of this country.
As Mother Teresa once said…’If a mother will kill her own child, what can be next’ ?
50,000,000 abortions, fatherless homes,incest,state sanctioned gay marriage,children killing children…
We have devalued the sanctity of human life to the point of creating a generation of lost children.
Lib/socialist answer? Legalize giving our children drugs.
Say what you will, but since the decision it’s always been a 50/50 proposition. Meaning usually 50% support abortion and 50% don’t. Doesn’t matter though, the supreme court has ruled and it’s now a settled constitutional right to privacy. Get over it.
If you were really concerned about life, you’d take more interest in what happens to little humans AFTER they’re born and their welfare and care and opportunities in this world…not just while they are in the womb.
Get over exterminating 50,000,000 children?SCOTUS has ruled?
You must be a NAZI lover? Hitler ‘ruled’ that millions of Jews needed to be exterminated.Don’t make it right.
By your argument you support Hitler and Nazi Germany.
Just ask Israel.
Hitler “ruled” nothing. The Wannsee conference in 1943 was not even attended by Hitler but that is where the final solution was proposed and adopted…under the implicit direction of Hitler.
Secondly, how can my position possibly be extrapolated to supporting the Nazi regime? In fact, I have a long history of comments both here and the State newspaper where I rail against the confederacy as they also embarked on forced slavery and racial killings to advance their cause.
You’ve gone Palin on me. Those with limited mental capacities are best to keep silent unless they open their mouths and remove all doubt…such as yourself.
Well, now that the government has taken over healthcare, government reach extends to the womb, colon and everything else.
Very, very, very broad statement there. Like one gigantic Palinesque’ talking point.
Check the facts man. Check the facts.
My insurance company canceled my policy until Obama delayed that provision for one year. To be eligible for any tax discount I would’ve had to use a government website or federal form. It would have been a complex process to compare coverage. Often the coverage is better to meet the requirements of the ACA, but the providers are fewer to hold down costs.
Why couldn’t they pass a law to deal with the uninsured and leave those who were insured with the choice of changing.
Personally, a single payer system is what I would have preferred, not the ACA (which by the way is a GOP idea from back in the day).
I prefer an individual mandate with subsidy for poor and pre – existing conditions.
commie!
How about that reach into the womb? Sounds like one of your pet issues.
Ok! I can usually sleep thru one of your replies. But 3!!!

People must believe in something. Climate change is the latest false religion. It is preferred over traditional religions because sin is no longer a personal failure, but a societal failure.
Science.. a liberal hoax. I added a little above for you to chew on…
btw, the Tea party really, really doesn’t like science either.

Last week, we got some of the scariest news about global warming yet: We may have already helped set in motion an irreversible destabilization of the West Antarctic ice sheet, thus locking in 10 or more feet of sea level rise over the coming centuries. It’s the kind of news that ought to serve as a wake up call for all Americans, causing them to stop and say: Enough. We’ve got to do something here.
But as these data make clear, when it comes to science, there’s no such thing as “all Americans” any more. There are highly polarized camps, divided over the very validity of the information.
“Last week, we got some of the scariest news about global warming yet”
dispassionate — not influenced by strong emotion, and so able to be rational and impartial.
That is the problem. Good science should be dispassionate, not scary.
Carney and everybody else says 97% of scientists believe in human caused climate change, but they don’t all believe in the alarmist consequences.
Hey, I’m not alarmist.. I live in the middle… you guys are the ones going under water. Scary news doesn’t mean I’m scared. Actually, I’m amused.
Maybe there’s some cosmic irony in the Southern States going under water.
Ignorance of the consequences of alarmism seems to be a Republican/Tea Party core tenet… did you attend Operation American Spring?
I’m not Tea Party either. Means too many different things. Too many of them are nuts walking in to Chipotle Grill with assault rifles. Good night.
Racism is not a crime. Discrimination based on race is. 5 to 4 decision to let voters and lawmakers decide on affirmative action, not judges. I think they call that representative democracy.
I would argue that racism is a crime from a more theoretical position.
However, if you read the majority opinion on both the Michigan affirmative action case and the voter ID case…Scalia and Roberts clearly used language to suggest that racism (and hence discrimination) is dead in America and there’s much ado about nothing. That magically, we’ve somehow wiped it out since the 1960s like so much polio.
There are two issues. What is the problem and who should decide on the solution. There was no legal or constitutional support for affirmative action. Affirmative action laws, referendums, or constitutional amendments can still be passed.
The decision that the part of the voting rights act that treated the South and a few other places different than the rest of the county was not just. Schools in the Northeast are more segregated than the South and many states in the North have had voter ID for decades. If congressional wanted to strike down voter ID they could. Again, nothing in the laws or Constitution forbids voter Id.
Although affirmative actions can still be passed but they wil constantly be challenged in courts by what is now a SCOTUS precedent which in essence says that racism (discrimination) is no longer a problem in America and the need for affirmative action has passed.
Scalia expressly ridiculed congresses reauthorizing of the voting rights act as early as 2006 by a 90% margin!!!
His explanation was basically that congress only did it b/c they didn’t want to be seen as being racist.
The court decisions have said that you can have affirmative action if it is not solely based on race. In other words Bill Coby’s son can’t be favored over a poor white unless you can reasonably show that Cosby’s son has suffered discrimination.
ITT: A bunch of white people argue over why black people tend to lean towards a political party, as if all black people think alike akin to some kind of Borg-like collective.
People vote on what they perceive to be in their best interests. They vote this way even if their perceptions are entirely wrong and they are actually hurting themselves. This isn’t limited to black people, or any minority, or any class of persons, or any gender, sexual preference, religion, etc.
The GOP does very little to open themselves up to various demographics, namely minorities, but to women, the working poor, the gay community, and others as well. There’s only two major parties. Do the math.
It’s really sad to watch someone boil why an entire race votes one way to “they want welfare.” Most poor people hate being poor and wish they didn’t have to be on welfare, but the last thing they want are a bunch of douchebags who have no plans on helping them improve their lot on life to come along and crush what little help they actually receive. Most poor people want a ladder to climb, not to have the rug pulled out right from under them.
And, of course, stereotyping a race as being on welfare is probably one of the last things that will earn you supporters from that race.
An interesting viewpoint:
Hate makes black people feel uncomfortable…
“welfare queens”
“baby momma”
“baby daddy”
“blacks are just as racist as whites”
“if a white person did that…”
Republicans don’t want their vote. How simple can it get?
Besides, even white people know – Republicans are a smoke screen for the rich.
BENGHAZI!
It doesn’t matter how many times Republicans chant Benghazi into a mirror. Candyman won’t magically appear and murder the Democratic Party.
If you say Benghazi 5 times in a row in the mirror, you’re Fox News.
Report shows that U.S. Military could not have changed outcome of Benghazi attacks. Reality shows Repub. beliefs are not changed by facts.
McCain skips confidential Benghazi briefing to hold press conference demanding Benghazi briefings. Dementia has officially set in.
Just like oil, wealth is fungible. Poor Republicans hope to be rich one day. Poor Democrats have given up and expect to always be poor.
Either way for Republicans success is in their own hands. Democrats blame others and perceive themselves as victims.
The victim vote is a huge percentage and will never be overcome at the voting booth. The politics of envy are unstoppable under a democracy.
A minority of people truly like taking personal responsibility.
Poor Republicans hope to be rich…
Suckers
Poor Democrats. No hope at all. Bitter and hopeless.
Actually, they do have “hope”. Their hope resides in government taking stuff from people and redistributing it.
How sad is that?
Seriously, if my only hope was that government was going to somehow balance the scales and that my personal commitment was less important than that of government, I’d just go ahead and slit my wrists.
They aren’t that honest with themselves is the only way I can figure they don’t commit mass suicide.
Democrats are responsible for giving them that false hope. There is a direct relationship between belief in yourself and the “system” and your success. Democrats discourage both.
I don’t disagree, but let us not omit the fact that Republicans have helped to bring us this disaster in national thinking by glorifying government (our government). They lost touch with the founding notion of distrust of government and why it was important.
Riding a wave of patriotism after mopping up a couple of world wars they helped set in motion this notion that our government was somehow exempt from the faults of all governments over history and built this mythology about its “greatness” in the minds of Dems and Repubs alike.
Now it’s too late to cut the heads off the mythic hydra that both Dems and Repubs have created.
I surprisingly agree with a lot of what you say. The rogue general shooting at Libya Parliament today was trained at Langley. But we shouldn’t go over board an become isolationist.
Always enjoy a couple of Republicans bantering about “revolution.”
lol…I doubt there’s any chance of becoming “isolationist”, Obama’s just as much a war monger and Bush before him.
In fact, if “Drone Strike” was a video game, he’d be kicking Bush’s ass.
wealth is fungible
———
(of goods contracted for without an individual specimen being specified) able to replace or be replaced by another identical item; mutually interchangeable.
Wealth is not a commodity that can be purchased with an equal amount of resources for all who wish to obtain it.
Oil is.

You were right
Hammer African American abortion rates as black genocide engineered by white feminists, draw a clear correlation between the Democratic Great Society and the breakdown of the black family, stand firm on gay marriage, and they will not vote for Hilary, they will stay home. Hammer her condescension copping her fake Southern accent when she speaks to black audiences, quote Margaret Sanger’s own words on eugenics and show her meetings with the Klan–this is the patron saint of Planned Parenthood. Tap into the group of pastors that broke with Obama over gay marriage. Put black conservatives front and center, for example Elbert Guillory. Put the Frederick Douglass Society on the national convention program.
Yeh that’ll do it!
FITS you got it all wrong. The GOP plan is to simply keep black people (and latinos) away from the polls through voter ID. Job done.
You’re calling “black people (and latinos)” Fraudulent voters and cheaters..who cannot vote if they have to be legit…
What a Racist Mother-F*#ker you are…Typical democrat slave-owner. Yall ain’t changed in 150 years-plus…
You’re in favor of unconstitutionally limiting a citizen’s right to vote and attempting to limit democracy through a dressed up poll tax. I call you a communist, a loathsome fascist that would make even Adolph blush with pride.

GrandTango finally has a *legitimate contender*.
Hahahaha…So: Is wielding a club by a militant Race-Hate group ” limiting a citizen’s right to vote?”……Holder says it’s A-OK, only if they are voting for Obama, of course…
Truth is: Stopping you from Melowise-ing is a F*#king POLL TAX????….LMAO…you may be the Dumbest F*#k to ever stride on planet earth…
If monitoring dirty cheaters, who re subverting democracy, is a poll tax…you must see Obama as Stalin-Lenin-and-Mao rolled into one Dirty Despot for imposing Obama-Care on us…
You have to be Ignorant and Gullible to be a liberal…that’ s for sure…
(thinks someone who can’t figure out how to get an ID can make an informed decision on who to vote for)
You got one thing right…The GOP is done. When you only truly represent 1% of the population and sucker in the rest by playing to their prejudices, it’s only so long until that bubble will burst in your face.
Your last sentence describes Democrats perfectly. You appear to be quite confused.
Not at all. Keep on living in that echo chamber, Joey.
I secretly lust after Hillary Clinton
I’m so glad that I’ve been on jury duty, putting away a serial Child sexual predator than reading this racist bullshit on this site. I’ve done something worthwhile, Wills is just stuck in a racist place. BTW the 2 trials I was chosen to serve were for angry white men ages 43 and 62. Both were found guilty. One raped a 13 year old girl, the other beat the crap out of his wife. All were serial offenders and WHITE. Damn. Will should cover why they were still walking the streets after decades of violent crimes.
SCBlues, if you changed WHITE to BLACK and it was true would your post be racist?
Just asking.
If she did, you’d be out of a job.
Sounds like the sort of individuals that Vincent Sheheen has worked hard for, to make sure were still walking around to commit more heinous crimes.
(thinks anecdotes outweigh statistical evidence)
One look at the comments on this blog could turn a black person off “conservatism” for life.
When FITS, and all leftist media like him, IGNORE stories like this (Below) …You have to Conclude Liberal-Tarians are JUST as RACIST, as Rev. Wright, and the Obamas….. What kind of country have we become?
Michelle Obama Ask Kids To Keep Tabs On Their Racist Grandpa
Michelle Obama encouraged the teenagers in the audience to turn against their older relatives in the ostensible goal of creating a more tolerant America.
“Maybe that starts simply in your own family,” she said, “when grandpa tells that off-colored joke at Thanksgiving, or you’ve got an aunt [that] talks about ‘those people.’ Well, you can politely inform them that they’re talking about your friends.”
She also encouraged the next generation to view every aspect of their lives through the lens of potential racism.

And if the black stay home and dony vote this November then we are stuck with horse face Haley for another 4 years and I guess all minorities will continue to enjoy making shitty salaries that Haleys minimum job record has brought our state. You want fries with that.
How to break the ‘black monolith’… you can start by reining in the raging mean, hateful, hate filled, nasty racism on GOP/Libertarian/TEAvangelical blogs…like this one.
-she typed, tears streaming down her face
Fits, i know you aren’t a racist homophobe because you keep telling you’re not. so i wonder what you think a racist homophobe looks and sounds like?
this is leaving aside the drug addled logic of this rant – “blacks should support the GOP because the dems are screwing them, and everyone else should drop the GOP because they aren’t really conservative”.
I think we should give them reparations. If that doesn’t get them over to our side, nothing will.
it always funny that the when it time to vote the republicans and those that wanted our votes comes out to our churches and tell us what they want to do what I don’t understand where are they when it not time to vote they are making things worst then it is and always putting down something that has to do with the poor and African Americans yes we are a powerful people but we must all vote and elect people who is fair real honest and true to their words
