“I’m a Republican,” she says, “and this was the first time that I voted for a Democrat since JFK…. I’m one of those rare birds, a black conservative Republican”
I am having difficulty believing this statement. I don’t know a single black conservative who voted for Obama. There are a lot more black conservatives then we think. They are passionate against Obama.
There were (religious) conservative black democrats who preached AGAINST Obama because of his stances on abortion and advancing the homosexual agenda. They may not have voted for McCain but they clearly knew that they had to answer to a higher power and could NOT vote for Obama.
“I don’t know a single black conservative who voted for Obama.”

No there are certainly black conservatives who voted for Obama. No group is a monolith and people of all political beliefs bought into Obama’s lies.
Some more than others.
Remember after the election how many folks talked about how Obama would be a moderate President? You don’t hear that any more. For the record, I never bought it.
“There are a lot more black conservatives then we think. They are passionate against Obama.”
Bingo!
What (R) would vote for Urkle?
I do. They were blinded by color and more excited about race than principles. They're singing a different tune, now. Me, on the other hand, I'm color blind. I held my nose and voted for McCain.
I know of one. He is a professional that likes to hunt and fish.
Lot’s here in Mobile, Alabama!
Republicans have been "reaching out" to African-Americans, and people have been responding--often because it is easier for them to rise in the GOP and for the perks.
When 2008 came along almost all turned around and voted for Obama.
That is why shallow partisan recruitment efforts are not what we should be about. Convincing people of conservative values--that's really our job.
JC Watts mean anything to you?
The vote for 0bama was strictly tribal.
There are few that escaped this tribalism. I have a friend at church that is one of those that escaped. He constantly sends me stuff critical of Bamma, as he calls him.
Liberal Democrats have to cheat to win because they lack the votes to be elected; the majority of legitimate voters reject them.
Obama would have lost in an honest election, and had elections been reasonably honest for the past few decades, the "middle" would never have migrated so far left as to accommodate him or the likes of McCain. Remember which side it is that says asking people to show photo ID for voting is unfair. Remember which side wanted to throw out the military ballots on a technicality in 2000. Americans know they don't even have to catch Democrats red-handed to understand that cheating is necessary to them.
Vote fraud is what elects liberal Democrats; the MSM is a necessary accessory.
Well there are a number of blacks that claim to be conservative that chose skin color over principle in the last election.
Colin Powell and Armstrong Williams are two that come to mind quickly...
