Actually many of the black people I know here in the “Cradle of the Confederacy” would seem to naturally belong to the base of the GOP, talk to them in private about specific issues and many seem to be far more conservative than Rush Limbaugh but they vote the other way. I am personally acquainted with one black former Marine who sat on my couch some years ago and told me that he cannot understand why black people vote Democrat, the same man has spoken at two different Tea Party rallies I have attended. He was very well received and applauded. There are others like him.
Of course it is dangerous to even make the assumption that who we vote for even matters any more. I suspect that we are already at the point that the only thing that matters is who COUNTS the votes.
I know those people are out their, but they are too rare to matter.
Furthermore, even if they did matter, whether or not the GOP holds and office over a democrat does not matter.
We have serious, serious problems in this country.
