When Baraq Obastard announced his support of gay marriage black pastors across the country publically berated him and many went on national television saying that they could / would not support him in the upcoming election.
He lost less than 1% of the black vote over that. I will believe it when I see it.
Yeah, the 'Black Pastors,' an eclectic group to be sure, turned on their down-low brother for a good 15 minutes before urging their congregations to vote for the SOB, keeping African-American support at the 100% ... or better ... mark!
Surprise surprise! Perhaps more surprising, 53% of Catholic voters supported the Post-Term Abortionist-in-Chief.
Who are more personally conservative in their private lives than working class Catholics, Orthodox Jews, or hard- working African-American families? Yet all traditionally support Democrats who govern in direct opposition to their private moral principles.
Furthermore, I have personally heard members of the aforementioned groups viciously attack the Republicans, using stupid socialist clichés and rhetoric that might have made some small sense if said against the Czar's government during a pogrom in 1890's Russia
He lost less than 1% of the black vote over that. I will believe it when I see it.
Don't think of black voting trends in the same breath with orthodox Jewish and ultra-orthodox Jewish voting trends. Interests are quite different and there has been all too much tension between them in urban areas in the past several decades.
