Ron Paul’s inclusive message attracting African American voters

Ron Paul’s inclusive message of peace, freedom, and prosperity may be attracting African American voters. According to this poll, Ron Paul leads his GOP opponents among black voters in general election contests.
In general election matches Paul loses among African American voters 60% to 33% against Hillary Clinton and loses 61% to 31% to Barack Obama.
In 2004 CNN exit polls show Bush receiving 11% of the African American vote in the general election against Kerry.
The averages of general election match up against either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama are for Paul, Romney, McCain or Giuliani are, Ron Paul - 32%, Mitt Romney - 23.5%, John McCain - 20%, Rudy Giuliani - 16%.
If the polls are accurate it could mean that Ron Paul’s message that ‘Freedom unites people’ is working. Paul’s uncompromising defense of the Bill of Rights is making him a Civil Rights Leader in his own right. ("Ron Paul inspiring new Civil Rights movements")
The poll, if accurate, could also mean that Ron Paul’s message of ‘repealing the police state’ is resonating with African American voters.
Paul does appear to be a uniting political force attracting supporters at his events from all walks of life.
USA Daily does not encourage its readers to allow polls to influence their voting decisions in any way. They are too often inaccurate. This statement is not a comment on the poll in question just on polling in general. (Discuss the election on www.usadaily.net)
A chronic addiction would be if you have that graphic in the French version. ;-D
Interesting numbers, SJ.
Doesn’t impact my laughing at the notion African Americans are going to vote significantly for the white guy from the GOP...or the Libertarian Party for that matter.
Not to mention the motivation of a self described Progressive Democrat's opinion of a Republican candidate.
BTW most of that info came from google caches, it had been pulled from his personal website. Have to be careful what you put on the web.
Depends where you're spamming. I'm guessing this article isn't being posted by Paul spammers at Stormfront.
The etymology of the term "transhuman" goes back to futurist FM-2030 (born F. M. Esfandiary) who, while teaching new concepts of the human at The New School university in 1966, introduced it as shorthand for "transitory human". Calling transhumans the "earliest manifestation of new evolutionary beings," FM argued that signs of transhumans included physical and mental augmentations including prostheses, reconstructive surgery, intensive use of telecommunications, a cosmopolitan outlook and a globetrotting lifestyle, androgyny, mediated reproduction (such as in vitro fertilisation), absence of religious beliefs, and a rejection of traditional family values.[1]
I am just trying to envision being pitched Quaker Oats by an Atheistic, neutral gendered Borg...
He really is Jewish though. And gay. hey, that’s what he said.
And it’s a Treo, that takes less dedication...
But point taken...
;-)
Oui...
Larry Elder is the libertarian that won’t cut and run.
So I’ve heard.
Yup.
So he wants to be a gay Jewish Borg...
That likes Quaker oats..
Nobody will ever accuse Ron Paul of being a good politician, just a first class gadfly.
It is probably a generic stamp the press office uses for all meet and greets. Compare those (and the one OP posted w/ Paul) to the handwriting on one that Reagan actually filled out.
I have about a dozen photographs of President Bush with a similar message- even personalized. This doesn't mean I am somehow a holder of President Bush's legacy, it means I gave money to his campaigns.
For the reality of Ron Paul vs. Ronald Reagan, during his Presidency - on policies from Libya, Grenada and Nicaragua, to the CIA, the War on Drugs and the Constitution - checkout Ron Paul's own words on Posts #141 (LINK) and #151 (LINK)
Ron Paul Reagan Republican... my @$$!
