“”The idea that there is a large pot of conservative black votes out there that just have no idea which party is moonbat liberal & which party is more conservative is insulting. Blacks are not that stupid.””
There was an overwhelming amount of news about the McDaniel/Cochran runoff. The Black Conservatives knew full well who the real Conservative candidate is and who the faux RINO liberal candidate is.
I agree with you. If the Conservative Blacks really want to elect candidates with limited government platforms, they knew which candidate represented those values.
If the Conservative Blacks could not vote in the McDaniel/Cochran runoff because they had already voted in the Democrat primary, then they really aren’t conservative.
You said that well. & the way you phrased it brings another point to mind. It is liberals who treat blacks like ignorant children. They have a very racist view of blacks, in that they act like unless you tell a black American what to do, he/she cannot figure it out. They are mere droids, to be programmed/manipulated at will.
Conservatives are not supposed to operate on this level. We should respect the fact that blacks, too, have brains. They have the ability to decide. The idea that they cannot opt to vote conservative unless someone leads them by the hand is demeaning.
And one more thing. This idea that a black can be a conservative by persuasion yet will vote moonbat-left *unless* ‘invited’ to do otherwise is also a canard. By that standard, I should still be voting Moonbat. I.e.: I would have reasoned thus, ‘I am becoming more conservative while Dems are becoming aggressively unhinged-liberal. But I cannot vote conservative/Republican unless someone ‘invites’ me, so I am doomed to keep on pulling the lever/punching the chad/touching the screen for Dems’.
Excuse me. Adults make decisions on their own. I saw the time had come to renounce the Dems & did so. The idea that a black person, by virtue of being black, cannot do likewise is false. There are many black conservatives. They made the decision based on principle. Others are quite capable of doing likewise.
