Dems' Coalition Of The Conned Is Crumbling
TalkingSides.com ^ | 10/24/10 | CaroleL

For decades Democratic candidates have only been able to win elections by dividing voters into special interest groups, making promises to serve those interests and then falling short of keeping those promises once in office. This perpetual promising has kept all those groups in the party's political pocket - call it a coalition of the compulsively conned - but after 2 years of single party rule by Democrats with virtually none of those special promises kept, the coalition is crumbling.

“call it a coalition of the compulsively conned”

Hehehehe, I like that phrase. However it looks like the Blacks are still believing the con with the likes of Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton acting like plantation foremen keeping them in line. Other minorities less so by the day.

I’d like to see a 1 hr show about how the Democrats have treated blacks who “left the plantation”. Condi Rice, Juan Williams, Bill Cosby, Clarence Thomas, the list is long. The treatment over the years has been brutal and insulting. The Democrats do not like blacks — what the Democrats like, are gullible people who will promote Marxism against their own self interest. As long as blacks buy into that con game, the Democrats will get their votes.

The article suggests hardcore Leftists are disappointed. While that is true, it doesn’t change their voting habits. The gains made in these midterms will only come from the independents & mushy middle. And, of course, they can be brought back 2 years from now by new promises from Dems...easily.

The ultimate conned are the hopeless blacks, who vote no matter what for the very people that are totally oppressing them.

Like I said, utterly hopeless, followed closely by self-hating Jewish liberals.

Blacks must be really upset. Finally a Black President and this is what they get. A communist kook.

Sadly, I must agree.

Condi Rice seems have received a guest pass back to the plantation.

Unless, of course, she was the first of many messengers to tell our Marxist President that “it’s over”.

When the golden goose is nothing but picked over bones, even some RATS know the game is over. The parasites will die without the host.

Beck did a show like that. But he kept talking.

Well, I will hope for the best. Thomas Sowell is at Standfor too (Hoover Institution). Maybe they talk. Also Shelby Steele.
