I call BS....

With black jobless rate above 14% and the black youth rate is above 50%....

Mark my words, the GOP will get more votes this election cycle then they got in 2008...

I would never know that most black people are democrats. They say that if a Rep is elected the sky will fall. Sounds familiar... ;D

I know 2 blue collar black guys who voted for Bush in 04. I don't blame black folks for voting for Obama.

I did hear an interview with an innercity elementary school teacher last spring, I don't rememeber but it was the kind of thing you occasionally hear on NPR. She said her kids say that Obama 'isn't like us', when she asked why it was because 'he doesn't talk like us'. She said this is common with black politicians. I thought it was interesting.

geez, you have to be able to see the comic vaule in it... I think it's a great shot taking prolly by accident ....

Ya know, it's okay to laugh at yourself once in awhile.

BTW, Obam did as well....

I don't think anyone thinks this election will be anything like the 2008 race. I can understand the concerns out there and who can blame anyone for them. However, attack ads are one thing; flat out lies are quite another.
