Never really happen since most Blacks enjoy the abuse they suffer at the hands of the Democrats. She could run Obama over with a bus and most would jump on and still vote for her before his feet stopped switching.

A thinly veiled threat in the form of an article? The tenor of the article makes it apparent to me that the author has an agenda. Whatever happened to the idea of journalists at least trying to hide their biases?

In the end, Bositis believes black voters, in large numbers, would fall in line with Clinton,....

^^
That is exactly how it will be. They will be miffed at first, but they will come around. And if Hitlery gets it, I will hate Rush forever.

Let all segments of the Democratic rainbow coalition be of the following mind when dealing with one another throughout the rest of their primary and then onto the convention floor.

"To the last, I will grapple with thee. From hell's heart, I stab at thee. For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee!"

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY AND OBAMA'S CHURCH

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - OBAMA'S CIRCLE OF FRIENDS AND SUPPORT

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

This reflects one of the dynamics that led to my title for the May Feature at the Return Of The Gods Web Site, "Leftwing Chickens Coming Home."

Obama, however, represents something sinister in its own right, and the main theme of my article are the parallels between the Obama phenomenon and the Nazi phenomenon in Germany, in the 1930s.

Anyone interested can read it at Coming Home To Roost.

If I find a little time, later today, I may post it at Free Republic.

Worst case?

President Obama, Vice-President Clinton.
Think of it:

• Two years and one day into her term the first slotter gets arkincided
• Under Article XXII, she can still run for two full terms as the incumbent
• The Glorious Hillary!™ Decade begins
• Hillary uses the Patriot Act to it's fullest extent, and beyond
• At the end of the Glorious Hillary!™ Decade there is a National Emergency "temporarily" delaying the elections
• Under the pressure of the National Emergency, the 2nd and 22nd amendments are repealed
• By the time the National Emergency is over all the 'improved' source code for the touch screen electronic balloting will be in place......

Just as an aside, with the Clinton's well known love of 'ethnics', Obama is very expendable, isn't he?

and of the precent of black voters,
- what is that a percent of, of overall voters ?
- and can that total swing an election ?

It may another hundred years before black people stop being so politically stupid. Just because the man looks black is no reason to vote for him.

"Black backlash could hit Clinton -- Some voters might bail if Obama isn't nominee"

Everytime I think I've seen it all, someone comes along with a headline that makes one go, "Whaaaaaaaa?".

Of course some [obama] voters will stay home if clinton wins...AND...some [clinton] voters will stay home if obama wins.

HELLO CAPTAIN OBVIOUS!

"Sour grapes" is a natural - albeit nonproductive and a bit immature - human emotion. Everyone wants their "guy" to win.

It's just too damn bad their don't seem to care that much if AMERICA wins.

How many hundreds of posts have been made on this forum by those conservatives - including me in the early days - who vowed to stay home if Huckaby, or Thompson, or anyone other than mccain didn't win? But, I think a lot of us will come around when we stop to inventory the alternative to a RINO, will be either of the commie/socialists on the democrat ticket.

It will be a stop-gap measure, but we have to put a finger in the dike to hold back the flow of socialism until we can reorganize and energize conservatives in 2012.

Meanwhile, we can just pop up the corn - assuming there will be any left after the big ethanol craze - and watch the dems take each other apart like the Holy Grail Knight. It'll be a hoot.

There will be a lot of these "If obama wins..." or "If hillary wins..." articles, laced with threats of race riots to try and intimidate Americans into trashing our core principles and pick a President based more on the quotas of race and/or gender, than ability.

Maybe in 2012, the dems will get Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul to pick the President "American Idol" style. That's what the good-time, plastic-banana, rock and roll lefties would like, I'm sure.

I wouldn’t put much stock in this.

A while back I said I would never vote for McCain, but I will.

The problem for RATS and especially black RATS is that in most states that they are a large enough number of the population it would make little difference if they vote or not. The RATS either would win by a slightly smaller % or they would just lose by a larger % than they would if blacks voted.

OH, MI, and PA are the only states they could swing. They can cause Hildabeast to lose but there is no way they can cause Osama Obama to win!

IMHO the down ticket races would be what suffers if blacks stay home. The blacks seldom split their ticket but white RATS that wont vote for Osama will.

Good. If the black population bails out on the Democrat party, EVERYONE WINS. Especially the blacks.

Kerry won 20 states in 2004, despite losing the white vote in 9 of them (CA, DE, IL, MD, MI, NJ, NY, PA, and WI). Excluding CA, in which the Latino and Asian are more important, and NY, which is Clinton’s home state, and she could be in danger in Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and even Wisconsin if enough of the black vote stay home or votes Republican. Those states are worth 97 EVs combined.

I posted that they can cause clinton to lose, but they can’t cause osama obama to win.

They either stay home or vote straight RAT.

The RATS will lose with either one in Nov.

Both Dems look like damaged goods. This is McCain’s election to lose.
