In tight U.S. Senate races, Democrats hope black voters offset ‘angry white men’ (Real headline)

With Republicans confident of reclaiming control of the Senate, Democrats are looking to black voters in two Southern states to help preserve their majority.

Republicans, who are expected to keep control of the House in Tuesday’s election and need to gain six seats to win a majority in the Senate, have been bolstered by President Barack Obama’s low popularity ratings. But the president remains an inspirational figure for many African-Americans, and Democrats are pushing hard for high turnout among their core constituencies, including women and minorities....

I'll add one more to my growing list of leftist pejoratives directed at me that I now wear as badges of honors.And to really annoy the leftists that come across this post, I'll use the words of one of their heroes (FDR) against them:

They are unanimous in their hate for me -- and I welcome their hatred.

...and I’m also a scab. I busted a union and take pleasure in crossing picket lines as the union thugs hiss their hatred at me with the term of “scab”. I just smile as I look them squarely in the eye realizing that any business that stands up to union goons is my kind of place.

Agreed but it adds an occasional bit of spice to my happy life. Since I'm in Texas and in a very Conservative part, I don't have the chance to encounter union goons and leftists as I did more frequently up north.

I’ll be interested to see how Thad Cochran does with Black voters in Mississippi.

They probably think he’s a Democrat.

37% of the MS population is Black. Travis Childers has dug in and is running hard against Thad Cochran. If he gets 90% of the Black vote and the White Democrats turn out and vote for him and about 20,000 of Chris McDaniel’s supporters vote for him and about 20,000 McDaniel supporters stay home or skip the Senate Race on the ballot......... Thad loses.

“There’s a lot of an angry white man out there,” singer-songwriter Patti Austin told a crowd of several hundred black voters in Georgia. “And they’re old. And they’re trying to hang on to their pots of gold. So go vote.”

Glad they are finally admitting that they are wanting to steal via wealth re-distribution.

Grumpy old black women turned out for Obama, so the GOP said the answer was amnesty to win.

Any time “angry white men” are in a story it must be accompanied by “blacks panhandling via ballot”...

White women should take note that they are not included in this slap at their menfolk; it is no accident that rather than raising a next generation of Americans they are working their tails off to support other (non-white) children. As their marginalized menfolk go, so will they...

It is out in the open now, but no deterrent for a marginalized group reduced to instant gratification. If voting for freebies now reduces their children & grandchildren losing their futures to Hispanics, black voters seem quite OK with that...
