What? Is the rate of black america voting for him going do drop to 92%? He shoulda kept it on the down lo’!

[CSM]

“There isn’t a single black in this country who’ll vote GOP,”

I know of at least 2 that will. However, your point is well taken!

[Obadiah]

The churches now wonder whether Obama will back efforts to force churches to perform same-sex marriages, a topic which one religious leader broached with the President during one of the calls:

“Some of the faith communities are going to be afraid that this is an attack against religious liberty,” Mr. Hunter remembered telling the president.

“Absolutely not,” Mr. Obama insisted. “That’s not where we’re going, and that’s not what I want.”

Anyone seen or heard from former Rep. Bart Stupak?

You can imagine how I felt at one of our department meetings when the subject came up about changing our software to be able to handle...."Anal Pap smears"!!!

I wonder if my co-workers saw me turn white as a ghost and get a sick look on my face when I heard that.

[copaliscrossing]

Yes, that’s how I looked!!! lol

Congressman Allan West must be, so must be Tim Scott, Thomas Sowell, Star Parker, Larry Elder, Walter E. Williams, Ken Blackwell and many more

[G Larry]

You’re missinformed my friend.

10% have stated they WILL NOT vote for him!

Depending on the consentration, that could be significant.

[G Larry]

Many fail to recognize the power of the block that stays home.

Which is why I was so hard on the anti-Romney crowd here.

[Kaslin]

Here is a whole list of African American Republicans

“Nice try Barry! There isn’t a single black in this country who’ll vote GOP . . . “

Someday I’ll have to introduce you to my sister-in-law.

But even among Black democrats, a certain number that normally vote reflexively for the Democrat candidate are going to sit this one out to protest The Won’s support for same-sex marraige. And Barry cannot afford to lose a single vote this time around.

So, yeah. This’ll hurt him.

[Gabz]

Everyone one you named, and then some, were who popped into my mind immediately.

[FreeAtlanta]

White House to black churches, “bend over.”

[Gator113]

I stand corrected and duly chastised. LOL

[Gabz]

And those are just the known ones........there are many, many more who’s name is not going to appear on such a list.

I so dislike such broad brushing, particularly when discussing the touchy issue of race. It just gives the left one more “talking point” to label conservatives as racists.

[Kaslin]

There was another one. Her first name is Denise and I believe she ran in 2010 for Congress in CA. I will do a search and see if I can find something

[Bitsy]

I luv Allen West! Stay tuned for more and more of him.

[little jeremiah]

People are individuals and each chooses with the precious gift of free will, how to live their lives. Some conditioning is very difficult to shake off. But it is a fact that there are rational conservatives of every color. Blanket statements do a disservice to all rational conservatives.

[Kenny Bunk]

.....anyone who votes for Obama is gay.

Provincetown tee shirt sales way up!
