I find this hard to believe. I think 0bama will easily get 97% or more of the black vote in 2012.
Maybe black folks are finally waking up to the reality that liberals and democrats are not their friends at all but in fact their new slavemasters, their new enemies, the ones that are keeping them in their place so to speak, the ones that are robbing them of the opportunities they need to succeed, to grow, to prosper just like the rest of us. This is the basic difference between conservatism and liberalism. Liberalism is socialism and communism combined to bring everybody down to the same level, not to raise people up and out of poverty but to keep everybody equal even if it means using racism and class warfare as tools and lies to make it all happen whereas conservatism renews the values, the traditions, the principles of our founding fathers that all men should have equal opportunity for progress, advancement and prosperity. The liberalism cause can only succeed and advance through lies, deception, corruption and bribery. If liberals actually told the truth about what they truly believe, there would not be a single liberal that would ever get elected to any office in this land. This is one reason why liberals are so fond of the practice of abortion which is in itself a kind of racial genocide because the largest number of aborted babies are minority babies. That is why liberalism discounts and disdains such ideas as patriotism and belief in God, and the Christian religion specifically. Of course with that opportunity comes personal responsibility, a work ethic, accountability and a will to overcome obstacles in a positive manner.
It may be that they see their hero is going to be reaching into THEIR pockets along with everyone else.
They are beginning to understand the forked tongue promise of "I will not raise your payroll taxes." didn't mean he wouldn't raise/put taxes on everything you touch.
They buy cigarettes, soda and such. They will be hit with an insurance premium - or fine - of thousands of dollars, etc. Many of them understand the double-speak of tens of thousands without insurance does NOT mean they are without medical care - in any hospital in the country - free.
And just wait until after Jan. when they let the Bush tax cuts expire. They're just as smart as anyone else. When they see those extra dollars out of their pay checks at the same time every other avenue of the economy is pinching them, they'll realize they bought snake oil.
Many of them may even become MORE against him than whites who oppose him on policy grounds, because they will feel personally betrayed.
The black population is about, what, 17%. Add that to, if ACORN and affiliates are REALLY defunded and/or at least not allowed near the 2010 census or "getting out the vote" - we may well see a truer picture of the voter breakdown, indicated by signs such as the overwhelming higher viewing/listening to FOX and conservative radio.
Without their hands in the ballot boxes, the socialists - well, I was going to say they are in for a rude awakening, but they already know they're out numbered. That's why they've been so steeped in voter fraud. They won't be surprised. They know the real dynamics.
It may be fun watching them trying to end-run the new developments. But with Beck and FOX and Rush et al on a roll - and, I hope, more REAL investigating reporting like our 2 young heroes just pulled off, they will find fewer dark corners in which to continue their shenanigans.
This country is very special to the "Great Spirit" - I feel His hand at work. Prayers up.
Of course - but the % is not as vital as is % of how many (voters)? I think though that even if a like number of blacks show up to vote in '12 as in '08 he will still be overwhelmed by Mrs Palin.
