WSJ Poll - Romney gets 0% of the black vote

He ain't coming up roses with gays, Hispanics and the ladies either. I suppose suppressing/disenfranchising the vote is his best tactic.

But he does well with old white men. Just like Lincoln used to till all their customers died off.

I'm not surprised at all after the 2000 election debacle that was decided by 5 angry old white dudes. A big goose egg among blacks?? Wow.

So long as the election involves anything but the economy the Republicans are fighting an uphill battle. They can throw against the wall all the red meat 'disinformation' they like (the work requirement for welfare being allegedly lifted, for example) it won't accomplish much except fire up those who won't vote for Obama anyway.

And, the ones who believe whatever they hear, so long as it comes from Fox or Boss Limbaugh.

Not this old white man, that lying bastard can go to hell as far as I am concerned.

Just your friendly neighborhood WASP.:p

As to the OP;

Really? I'm shocked, SHOCKED I tell you! Hasn't anyone told them he wants to give fat tax cuts to rich folks? Surely, THAT would sway them into his camp.........:rolleyes:

Obama appears to be "on message" with his base:

I listen to black radio fairly often (I like old rap, motown and r&b), usually on the way home from work (talk radio with tunes) and all I have to say is, the hip, the hop, the hippety hip hip hop and you don't stop rockin to the bang bang boogie said up jump the bogie to the rythm of the bogity beat.

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

Indoctrination works wonders...

I call BS.... :rolleyes:

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

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

So no one noticed the teleprompters when Romney introdued Ryan as his veep choice? They all use them especially Mitt 'cause when he speaks off the cuff he usually make gaffs. Even with the teleprompter he still screwed up and called Ryan the next president.

Well the last repub pres sure was no prize.

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. :D

BTW, Obam did as well....

beej 08-23-2012 09:03 AM

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.
