Many blacks are Christians and are shocked by Obama’s full-throated support of the gay agenda and same sex marriage. They may outwardly profess to be for The Won but in the secrecy of the voting booth may bear more allegiance to their religious beliefs than to color. Either that or they may just stay home.

I hope you’re right.

Look, the MSM had to gaslight the post-convention polls, they are trying to save the downticket races.

They see an opportunity to keep the PV within 3 points and thus possible save the Senate and force Mittens into unjust compromises on Supreme Court nominees.

I’d make Harry’s quote my tagline if it’d fit.

I have a sneaking suspicion that there is a lot more "We just wanted a black president no matter what" remorse going on than the folks who voted for Obummer (blacks & otherwise) are ever going to be willing to admit. Obama has been all "no matter what" rather than being someone in word AND deed the black community can be proud of. That's a bitter pill to swallow - some will manage to choke it down before November & not pull the lever for Obama.

"When Obama became president we were all happy about the symbolism - America's first black president. We really didn't care about his position and views on anything. We just wanted a black president no matter what. . . .

I think 0 bummer will be the only black ever to occupy the white hut. He has made it impossible for any other black person to be elected to POTUS. He is toxic to small business owners. Skin color trumped politics in 2008.

The CNN poll from yesterday that showed Obama up 6(But oversampled Dems by 6 percent) has Romney UP 14 points amongst Independents

[Terry Mross]

So, what do they do? Call until they get so many black voters and so many democrat voters and independents and republican voters?

Say they want to poll 1100 voters and they want 10% to be independent. Do they call and call until they get 110 people who identify themselves as independent? Otherwise, how would they know they’re “over sampling” one particular group.

Skin color truly should not matter ..... but the black community MADE it about skin color by ignoring whether or not he was qualified, what his values were, what his positions were .... “we just wanted a black president no matter what”. Well, they got him .... not even a ‘black’ in the sense that would probably resonate with most ‘American blacks’ (coming up through the civil rights movement, etc.). Nope, they got a half white president, raised mostly as a Muslim in a foreign country & thoroughly indoctrinated as a Communist.

I know a lot of fine, decent blacks .... God-fearing, Bible-believing, love America, even with the perceived race issues ... and they compromised all of that for Obama’s ‘sort of’ black skin. Obama is hurting them not only as a ‘black’ community, but America as a whole.
