I think that’s probably why the Black community still sticks with the Dummiecrats. The country club stereotypes from yesteryear still ring strong in the community although the country clubs these days are very welcoming to the “right” kinds of blacks (Meaning that you’re more like a Bill Cosby or a Condi Rice type instead of a Snoop Dogg type).
I think you're right -- about the blacks, the Jews and the Catholic "CINOs". The perception is that Republicans don't care about the poor, and Republicans don't do much about the image. I heard today's Republican "response" (not sure why the so-called response never responds) and it was all about how the Dems are spending too much. A brief economics nugget on how they're not only spending too much, but their spending will certainly only make things worse.
A lot of these people don't know even the basics of economics, or -- rather -- there's things they know, but don't really think of, like Armey's (?) comment a couple of years ago about how everyone hates corporations except when they need a job. It might also help to remind people that gov't may print the money, but the private sector is the source of all the things that make having money worthwhile -- houses, food, clothes, etc.
Sorry about the rant . . .:(
They stick with the Dems for one reason.They peck around the mailbox for a check like chickens looking for feed. This is why all poor Dem voters stay Dem, not just blacks. Dem leaders can disregard all of their religious and cultural views, doesn’t matter. If they get the Check, they’ll deliver the vote. Sad.
