Bigtime achilles’ heel.
OK... they see Obama’s a jive turkey.
But, far as I can tell, he’s still THEIR jive turkey.
He sure ain’t mine.
I don’t know how much vote change this translates into.
After all, blacks are something like 13% of the population. A big switch would be a couple of percent, which is significant, but maybe that can be had (according to recent reports) just as easily from the illegal vote.
The problem with Obama amongst African-Americans is not that he’s black, it’s that he’s Red.
Saw the mentioned article earlier. Upon further reflection, I have another thought about it. My original take was that they were referring to Obama as the deadbeat. Now, I wonder: Do they mean he’s leading deadbeats?
Could be. Or it could be that both of these interpretations fit him accurately...
The reason why Democrats can still successfully portray the GOP as white racists is that the myth allows Black Americans to play the victim.
Sounds hopeful, but we shouldn’t forget voter fraud, the dem’s Achilles Armor.
If there is Jim Crow era segregation, it is not whites, but blacks, doing it to themselves.
“But, far as I can tell, he’s still THEIR jive turkey.”
“He’s THEIR jive turkey” also applies to Progressives in the population.
They don’t care how much he jives or damages, don’t care how much Progressives in the Democrat party jive, damage, or endlessly claim racism, they LOVE progressives and will always be a part of the revolution, always.
(How obnoxious.)
IMHO
So why aren't the 'pubs taking advantage of it? Taking stands against invaders (both legal and illegal) who rob entry level jobs from inner city young adults, talking about policies which nuture small business formation and success, talk about not spreading community resources too thin. That would inspire.
Instead, Romney refused to campaign in fragile neighborhoods. That was racist, refusing to acknowledge the aspirations of challenged individuals and communities.
The 'pubs aren't doing much better this time. They're acting like WINNING means collecting more money than the dems do.
I hope things change, either because of election results or because all US citizens are fed up with the elite puppet masters. However, I do fear that candidates have to jump through so many hoops to be nominated for major office that they're already corrupted and out of touch when they get there.
Yes. And every time these pointed racially charged ads escape outside the narrow community they intend, more potential voters not influenced by the constant droning and race-baiting choose another path.
Frankly, it loudly smacks of desperation and the lack of legitimate counter to claims the Democrats have hurt blacks more than helped them.
The libs know it is their Achilles heel. That is why Obummer and the party are shifting to Hispanics. If he gets his amnesty, they are planning to use the same threats and intimidation on Hispanics. They will misuse and abuse the Country first with amnesty and then misuse and abuse an entire lower educated class of new voters to maintain their Marxists agenda. Their modus operandi is to trash everything along the way to their disastrous Marxist objective.
I submit that "getting the ghetto ticket punched" by venturing into areas where great hay can be made by liberal media about a candidate's insensitivity, flub or whatever is pointless.
It isn't up to a Republican candidate to clean these areas up and make them better before he's even given a chance or elected for that matter.
Speaking before the NAACP as a rite of passage is pointless, unless you're a Democrat and then you could go in there acting like a former slave and fake an accent and get accolades for it (Hillary Clinton).
Until they start taking stock of their lot in life and the promises made and not kept by Democrats, no amount of Republican conciliation will be fruitful.
I never get excited about these stories. If you read between the lines Obama is losing support because he is not statist enough. No matter what group it is, whenever these stories pop up about Obama losing support it is because the groups want more handouts, more government control, and more more leftism. They aren’t going to switch votes to conservatives. At best they will not vote or vote for a third party.
Republicans need to seize upon the successes but seem afraid to do so.
Here in GOP held Michigan, black unemployment is falling at a faster rate than any other group. Its not because Rick Snyder or the MIGOP spends a lot of time pandering to blacks. Its because the bulk of job creation just happens to be where blacks are. Lots of new construction in Detroit both private and public is happening only because the GOP has considerable control over the city.
Lots of 6 figure earners are transferring to Detroit from NY and Boston etc. They pump a lot of money into the lowest levels of the economy. My friend in Mexicantown pays a local kid (20 something) $100 per month to mow grass and shovel snow. The kid has a dozen other customers in the neighborhood and probably earns $1500 per month. He in turn spends that money in the area. True trickle down economics.
A developer has bought the Packard plant, paid the taxes, and clean up has begun for a planned half billion dollar development over the next decade. Developers are competing for the Tiger stadium site. As part of the bankruptcy deal, creditors got a desired spot on the Detroit river and intend to build a luxury hotel. Just the other day, clearing of land began for the new bridge to Windsor.
And lets not forget other GOP/Conservative policies that have been good for Detroit. Open carry/SYG laws combined with a GOP appointed pro self defense police chief is driving a plummeting crime rate. Charter schools are outperforming public by light years and producing many ivy league caliber students.
Obama will be in Detroit tomorrow claiming credit and outside Michigan, not one republican will speak up about the big lie.

Overall they are thirteen percent but in many Southern states and in key northern cities they are one-third of the total vote. A swing of a few percentage points from 92% to say 85% would make a tremendous difference.
True.
He’s still a jive turkey!
There are some, but you have to look out there.
