I come from a very large family of black Democrats. What you saw and heard tonight from black people you talked to, has been going on with my family for the last two years.
Me being the sole conservative Republican in the clan, they won’t come right out and tell me how disillusioned they are with Obama, but the last time I was back home in California, all traces of their love affair with The One had vanished.
When the subject of politics inevitably came up, they all sat and quietly listened to me expound upon my conservative views, without interruption. In times past, they would have all ganged up on me, and shouted me down, but something had dramatically changed with them.
To be honest, it was actually unnerving. I’ve never seen them this way before.
I have a few extended family members who are degenerate liberals and have decided to sit this one out. I suspect that’s how most of them are. They know Zero is crap, they can’t bring themselves to vote for Romney, so they’ll either vote for Ralph Nader or stay home.
My niece’s husband is black. They voted Obama in ‘08. Not this year. They’re angry about his immigration policies that will wind up with illegals taking jobs from (black) Americans. There was one other strong reason, but I can’t recall it now (gay marriage, IIRC). Anyhow, they’ll be voting Romney.
Where I live people are defacing cars parked near Romney signs.
Now the Conservative Community just need to 1. Have a Plan A in order to prevent voter fraud from being used to get Obama reelected 2. A Plan B, C, D, E, F through Z to allow us to prepare to handle the worst case disaster scenario that Obama gets elected through voter fraud and other means. What are the Plans A through Z that we have ?
Why don’t you mention how much the new park cost taxpayers?
Imagine of one of the Seals killed in Benghazi was Black?
Any thoughts on that my FRiends?
Wow. Great stories. Cold nite in Metroplex. How’s the park btw?
I have one friend and one family member who are die-hard democrats. One is in Georgia, the other in California. They both have decided to dump Obama, although the GA one said she will not vote Romney. The CA is still deciding. Their votes won’t matter, but it is interesting how people are fed up.
I live and work in the black areas of Los Angeles. In 2008, there were Obama signs everywhere, bumper stickers, lawn signs, campaign offices. This time, there’s almost nothing. Not saying that blacks won’t still vote for Obama 90+%, but turnout is not going to be what it was last time. The professional blacks, union members, bureaucrats, etc., will all come out to vote as usual, but the average black person making 12 bucks an hour, or sitting on the couch on “Sosh Security — not as many of them are going to show up this time. The excitement and energy is just not there. Won’t make any difference in California, of course, Republicans are not going to win a statewide race in California for a long time to come. But if the same thing is happening in Philadelphia, Cleveland, Virginia, etc., it bodes well for Romney.
It is happening in Chicago, too. I doubt it would flip Illinois back to red, but it is happening. Still, even with the disgruntled black Americans, the fundamental problems have not changed much.
I passed an early voting place in New Orleans yesterday. The parking lot was overflowing and people were parked on the sides of the street. The line was super long and the line ran all the way across the parking lot. They are out and voting here.
