‘I think people aren’t reading what Parker is saying.

She seems to be saying that there’s an untapped vein of Conservatism within the Black community, and McDaniels screwed up by not appealing to these Conservative blacks on Conservative issues.

I’ve read the article twice, and that sure seems like what she’s saying.

She’s NOT making the argument that McDaniels should have done things to flip the Black votes that went for Cochrane, but that there were Black Conservatives who didn’t vote that he could, and should, have targeted.

That’s fair, in my opinion. I know, am friends with, a number of Black Conservatives. They all say that the GOP, Conservatives and Tea Party would see a significant increase in support if they’d actually do a good lrvel of outreach. Parker cites stats showing that 25% of Blacks think favorably of the Tea Party. Does anyone not know what kind of impact it would have if we could get that 25% out and voting for our candidates?’

The essence of this argument is that blacks are stupid. Not mildly stupid, but sack of hammers stupid. I.e.: w’out ‘outreach’ they cannot figure out that Democrats are the party glorifying every aspect—even the nastiest, most unsafe ones—of homosexuality, while not merely safeguarding but also ***glorifying*** baby killing. They cannot see for themselves that Dems are rabidly anti-God—despite that vulgar display of Christian-hatred at the Dems’ own convention. It goes on and on.

Who on earth is that stupid? It’s an insane, insulting argument. I used to be a Dem. No one, but No One, ‘reached out’ to me. I DUH figured it out for myself. As I was drifting toward conservatism, the Dem party had the peddle to the metal in their race toward Moonbat-Idiot-Far-Left-Lunacy (loonacy works just as well). I didn’t need a single person to enable me to see this. All I had to do was read as much of a major newspaper ea day as I could tolerate. The truth jumped off the pp and grabbed me in a hammerlock.

Why do so many people—including some blacks—assume black people/other blacks cannot do likewise? They most assuredly can. & trust me, they know. They KNOW the Dems are the party of Homosexuality, baby-butchery, sexual debauchery & Christianity-hatred. But they vote Dem anyway. ‘Outreach’ is not going to change that. It is their decision. Just as, at one time, it was my decision. I could have gritted my teeth—or simply closed my eyes—to the leftward lurch of the Dem party, & gone on voting ‘D’ indefinitely. But I didn’t want to. The moonbattery got to be too much for me. I walked away & never regretted it.

Blacks could do the same if they wanted to. They don’t want to. Unlike me, they have an affinity with the Dem party that has no bearing on social conservatism. & if you need someone to tell you what this affinity is, look no further than Cochran’s ‘outreach’ to blacks. He persuaded hardcore, dyed-in-the-wool lifelong Dems to vote GOP—illegally—one time & one time only. (In Nov. they’ll revert to form.) He pushed every one of their buttons. Those buttons mean far more than any ‘outreach’ conservatives can mount.

& that is way this article is an insulting waste of time.
