Ron Pauls inclusive message attracting African American voters

Ron Pauls 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 Pauls message that Freedom unites people is working. Pauls 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 Pauls 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.

Since you had no response to that, you simply call me an idiot.
Fine. Get back to me when you can cite an actual historical case without blithely ignoring the evidence in question.
If you can do so -- ever -- it will represent a tremendous improvement from your usual empty bluster.
Guess who said it.
I'll tell you:
United States President Ronald Reagan.
Hes nuts....he aint going to win sh!t...he wont get my vote....ever...<P.
He isn’t getting mine either.
WTF have you got?
And how do I keep from catching it?
I notice you haven't disputed my claim that he is non compus mentus...
is that a “gotcha” too?
You trot out an asylum inmate who believes in God, Guns, and Butter.....and I'm expected to ignore the fact that he’s insane?
At the risk of beating the phrase to death....
“who am I supposed to believe?...you?...or my own eyes?”
I’m sure you haven’t heard of empirical evidence, but then you haven’t displayed your know your a— from a hole in the ground either.
Grenada took place in the mid-1980s. Iraq is now.
Ron has destroyed himself and it isn’t the fault of people like me. It’s his own doing.
I’ll be happy to put my ‘empty bluster’ up against your illogical moonbat vapors any day.
Tell us where Ron has proposed we take any military actions outside our borders, or has actually gone on the record supporting such actions. Don’t tell me where he has graciously remained silent while actions taken to protect our citizens took place.
Somebody should tell them that Tom Tancredo was the only GOP Presidential candidate who showed up for the NAACP convention.
You Paulies really need to share what kind of shit you are smoking...because the other 98% of Republicans who are polled apparently are missing out.
Ronald Reagan once played in movies with a chimp too...gave the chimp high reviews as well....
Oh...BTW...I never called YOU insane....re-read my posts...I called RP insane...
That you paul?
...or per chance tazed by police. LOL
Not only that...he said he would nuke mecca if he had too...
Tancredo has the immigration creds....but not much else is getting out there...
I dont see him getting the nod...even though I would gladly vote for him...
You hurt yourself by citing Reagan. The contrasts between Reagan and Rue Paul are astounding.
Reagan would have been all FOR the war on terror, he had a sense of humor, he did well in debates, he wasn’t nuts.......
And if he loses 99% of the sane vote? Where will he be then?
And anybody who thinks that Ron Paul has the remotest possibility of picking up 33% of the black vote is definitely NOT one of the sane voters.
It’s more than a little disturbing to me, to see you trot out these quotes from Reagan in light of what Paul has become today.
There isn’t a concievable chance, not one in a billion that Ronald Reagan would disapprove of our efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan today. None the less, you trot out a quote that addresses Paul’s service some twenty or more years ago.
Nobody trashes Paul for his active service years. As far as I know, he is lauded for them even here. It is his outlandish stance on this war that separtate him from what Reagan stood for, and what we stand for.
To seek to imply otherwise is contemptable.
I won’t vote for him either but he’s right on a lot of things. His foreign policy is wacked though. He drank the Kool Aid on that.
Okay.
On September 18, 2001, Ron Paul voted for Public Law 107-40 [S. J. RES. 23], "To authorize the use of United States Armed Forces against those responsible for the recent attacks launched against the United States."
So... your case entirely disproven, to what empty bluster will you resort next?
I'm sure it'll be something. But it will be bluster, and it will be empty.
Hah. That'll be the day.
