TAMPA, Fla.— African-American support for the Republican Party has fallen so far that a recent Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll showed Mitt Romney capturing 0.0% of the black vote.

Enter Mia Love, the 36-year-old daughter of Haitian immigrants and a Republican congressional candidate in Utah. Should she win, she would be the first-ever black Republican woman to win a seat in Congress.

There was a lot of young talent on hand for the GOP last night. I love the fact that there are Black Republicans who totally destroy the stereotype of Democrat black politicians who are bowing, fetching, tap-dancin', hat-in-hand Stepin Fetchits for their lily-white Democrat overlords like Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.

Yes, but the Democrat Party has a lock on the gansta vote and the welfare- cheat vote.

I must be a little slow on the uptake, but I hadn’t heard of Mia Love until yesterday. Her speech at the convention was good, so I wanted to learn more.

YouTube has some great short clips of her. Here is my favorite.

It is available in HD, so you may want to adjust the quality when you use this link.

She addresses a number of issues here related to the Restoration of America. I think you’ll love it.

Every black man lynched in America, has been lynched by a Democrat. Every black woman raped in America, has been raped by a Democrat.

“I love the fact that there are Black Republicans who totally destroy the stereotype of Democrat black politicians...”

Right.

This can only happen if they see themselves as individuals. That is the absolute and inescapable first step to any real success in life.

“We forfeit three-quarters of ourselves in order to be like other people.” Arthur Schopenhauer

AND

“The mass man has no character: a nation-state of mass men would fall prey to tyranny because they could not supply order in their own lives...insensitive to authority, they would become slaves to power.” Kenneth Hoover

Republicans have a very deep bench ot talent, that’s for sure. It’s a very encouraging sign. Hopefully this new generation will transform the “stupid party” into a potent political force that will change the direction of the country. But for now, job #1 is getting the Usurper out of power with the team we have.

I could NOT believe my ears with Mia Love. Wasn’t she just the best of the best? So proud to hear someone say and frame what most of us think, so articulate and such a nice looking lady.

Here’s a link to give a little heads up on her District 4, Utah race against an incumbent.

Hope last night’s speech sends her over the top for victory in November. Mia Love outdid herself. What a wonderful person and a terrific, optimistic smile. “Mr. President - we aren’t buying what your selling this year!”.

I rest my case.

I guess Alan West, Mia Love (her speech was GREAT yesterday!), Tom Scott, Walter E Williams, Judge Thomas will be voting Obama in November!! /s

Artur Davis' speech was good last night.

Mia Love for Congress

She'd be a great congresswoman and will need help defeating incumbent Democrat Jim Matheson.
