Poll Finds Blacks Motivated To Vote In November

WASHINGTON -- Democrats facing strong headwinds this election season have at least one reason for optimism, according to polling that found the party's large African-American voting bloc eager to stay involved even without Barack Obama on the ballot.

About two-thirds of black adults in four states say they are closely following news about the upcoming midterm elections, and between 74 percent and 80 percent say they are very likely to vote, according to the poll, conducted by the nonpartisan Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies. The organization surveyed 500 African-Americans in each state -- Missouri, Indiana, Arkansas and South Carolina -- all of which have Senate races in November.

How many of those voters follow through with their intentions will help determine if Democrats hold control of Congress. In many competitive congressional districts, blacks make up a quarter of the electorate, and they vote overwhelmingly for Democrats. Their surge during Obama's 2008 victory is widely credited with helping sweep many down-ballot Democrats into office who might have otherwise lost.

Especially if his real BC that could very well list his race as Caucasian ever sees the light of day ... Farfetched for sure but deliciously entertaining to consider.

In general, Jews and Negroes are going to support the most liberal party by a large percentage. The Negroes are going to support Obama and his party for the obvious reason that Obama is part Negro, and because he proposes a redistribution of wealth. I suspect that most Negroes believe that they will have free health care and housing if Obama gets his way. No politician has the gonads to state the obvious, because he will be called a racist. Jews support Obama for their own unique reasons. I doubt that many of them believe that they will receive free medical care and housing from the government. It is taken for granted that Obama is going to get their votes.

There is no doubt that a story like this will bring every white racist maggot out from under their rocks. First of all, the story itself is questionable.

Many blacks voted for Obama. That is understandable, although I certainly was not one of them. Black Americans have been voting for the Democratic Party for as long as I can remember. The public education system indoctrinates black children to believe that Republicana are white, rich and doing everything possible to “keep them down.”

The whores in the Congressional Black Caucus do everything they can to keep black children in public schools. That corrupt piece of garbage Charlie Rangel actually told blacks in New Orleans that Republicans “..want to put you back in slavery.” (I can’t wait to see him in cuffs.) Unfortunately some people believed him. Of course there are stupid people of every race. The CBC keeps our kids angry, aggreived about slavery and voting for Democrats.

All that being true, things are changing. There are black conservatives. Some black clergy have preached from the pulpit that they would no longer vote for a Party that supports homosexual marraige and abortion. I left the Democratic Party in the early seventies. I spit on it since white leftists took control.

You won’t hear about us from the MSM. Every black conservative pays a price for being conservative. I gladly pay that price. Obama has terribly embarrassed many black people who voted for him. The black vote in November may surprise lots of people. Especially that small group of racist idiots on this thread.
