Muslims increasingly moving away from GOP - Poll: Over half plan to vote for midterm Democrats
The Washington Times ^ | October 26, 2014 | Meredith Somers

Two-thirds of Muslim voters plan to visit the polls on Election Day, and more than half of them are Democratic Party supporters, according to a new survey.

Of 1,500 Muslim registered voters surveyed, 69 percent plan to cast ballots in the Nov. 4 midterm elections and 16 percent do not plan to vote, according to the poll conducted Wednesday by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Fourteen percent declined to answer.

Of the nearly 1,000 Muslim registered voters planning to vote, half said they support the Democratic Party, and 15 percent said they back the Republican Party. About one-quarter of the registered voters did not want to share their political affiliation.

“We’ve seen a general trend of Muslims slowly shifting toward the Democratic Party post-2000 and the election of [George W.] Bush,” said Robert McCaw, CAIR government affairs manager. “There has always been Muslim support for Republicans — that 15 percent is pretty constant. What we also see, though, is 23 percent declined to answer or are unaffiliated. Their votes are up for grabs.”(continued)

Muzzies, at least some of them, were ever going to vote for other (I will not say Republican) leftist politicians?

Sorry, do not believe it.

Nice pinko winko conclusion the idiot meathead’s got there. So 23 percent declined to answer means they’re unaffiliated???

Perhaps they don’t want to be audited by the commie bastard demoCRAP IRS.

I’m sure they’ll be down with the same sex marriage promoting, female genitalia parading, gender bending policies of the D. Party...

They will vote for the party that is most destructive to freedom, and the American way of life...so, of course they will vote Democrat.

The major US Muslim organisations formed their political party in the US in March of 2014 and had an inagural celebration in Chicago. Here is Gaffney’s link for a report on what the party represents. Most Muslims in the US seem lined up with it:

Whatta-buncha-crap. When were mooselimbs ever going to vote GOP, much less Conservative?

They fit right in to the rag-tag bunch of losers we know as the Dumbocraps.

In France, 90% of Muslims vote for the Socialist Party.

I don’t have the numbers for the rest of Europe, but I’ll guess it never goes below 75%.

"Muslims increasingly moving away from GOP"

Not far enough away.

If you see a muzzie int the Republican tent, he is probably wearing a bomb.
