Sorry boys, but the jive-ass wino uncle from the slums of Framingham torpedoed the illegal alien president's shot at reelection. The foolish White liberals who put the muslim/socialist in office won't repeat the mistake.

yes, obama is a muslim who attends a christian church. and a socialist who compomises with republicans and allows tax cuts on the wealthiest americans.
-
Hussein Obama is a seething anti-American who attended the communist church led by jeremiah wright. He was powerplayed into compromise with Republicans because the Tea Party swept Congress, crybaby.

You don't understand how the Electoral College works.
Unfortunately for America, most people don't. Educate yourself, then come back and explain how you intend to get an unelectable GOP candidate elected when the GOP won't be able to win enough of the battleground states.

Hardly, but at the same time, yes.
I want Obama's people removed from power, but at the present time, I'm (sadly) more uncomfortable with any would-be replacements. I do, however, want to hold onto most of what *I* have worked to acquire, but the majority of Americans think that they should be able to use the government to rob me.
Be that as it may, the Electoral College is what it is, and people are taking way too much, um, 'hope' away from the midterm elections. The numbers are what they are. Let's say that a Romney could take Michigan and VA. How would he win PA? FL?? OH? NC? The numbers just aren't there, guys.

romney is ahead in FL by a lot. Bama is getting killed in PA and is done in NC as well. OH? I think he loses that too as a result of voter apathy.

FL will be tight. Expect there to be a 2-3% spread 12 months from now. I admit that I completely misread PA back in '08, but there hasn't been enough of a shift to take it from the democrats.
They could try to make 2012 another referendum on gay equality (a brilliant strategy that carried the day for the GOP in 2004), but so far, I'm not hearing any rumblings about that possibility.

Rev. Wright and Fr. Flegar are marxist scumbags who are nothing more than poverty pimps and race hustlers, just like obama and his nasty wife.

Hey "less than", that is an excellent observation. Jeremiah Wright is indeed a communist and not a Christian. And his church is really not a church. Imagone what you could accomplish if you gave up smoking weed.
-
They are tribal! Hence among African-American voters Obama won 95% of their votes. The watermelon was a great analogy for that. Is that supposed to be controversial to point that out?
Why even argue that, when everyone in all honesty can see it. It's not necessary a bad thing, I can understand that. But why try to pretend it is not so?
-

So, do you have proof that he is indeed a Communist? And proof that Obama is a muslim? And why would a "socialist", be associated with a "communist"?
You use strong language, but nothing to validate your point. Imagine what you could accomplish if you use actual facts...obviously, I'm not the one smoking weed here.

Truth. The democrats didn't want to admit that fact back in '04, but while everyone was over-focused on FL, the election was actually decided in OHIO. If that gay initiative had not been on the ballot, Kerry most likely would've won OH and then Florida would not have mattered.
-
Watch and learn:
So basically a loud mouth dude with flawed logic is proof? I know of people with Anglo/ Latin names who are Muslim.
there are those who want him to be muslim, unless you have "smoking gun" proof, then the argument is moot.
There is a point when we need to start saying what we know is true, and what we "think" is true.
It's a slippery slope that ends in the Valley of Ignorance.

Jeremiah Wright is indeed a communist and not a Christian.
Dick Cheney is a communist (using the power and resources of the state for personal gain). Is he also a Christian?

Socialists and Communists have a lot of thing in common, off cause there are exceptions.
But how come so often, socialists and communists seems to be at odds with free speech and having an honest discussions about things. The ability to point out facts and reality as they are.
So often in favor of big governments, diminishing freedom instead of self reliance, disarmament, redistribution of wealth, high taxes, federal agencies deciding when how and what you do.
And how about Al Gore showing his unproven science propaganda in schools in which he has a political interest to extract taxes on carbon. lol what a lunatic communist thug!

Rush is far between Colin Powell....he's not even worthy enough to shine his shoes
Rush is right. Powell will vote for Obama again because he doesn't see a viable candidate in the Republican field, oh and because he is black.

Blacks have voted themselves largely in to irrelevance electorally by going 95 percent for demos.

Colin Powell not only donated to McCain but also campaigned on his behalf for months.....until Sarah Palin was added to the ticket and started fucking up things. Sarah Palin costed the GOP the election.

Yep, that is a credible news source. I have done my homework. If it was only because McCain chose Palin then Powell had bigger issues than that. Remember, no one liked Dick Cheney either but Bush got elected, TWICE.
Palin was so much better than what is living in the V.P house now.

-

Well, when you have GOP party members along with folks like Beck and Limbaugh make racially insensitive comments, then what do you expect???
The GOP has a serious race relations problem...and instead of reaching out for the votes, they are instead attempting to keep them from voting from staging police cars outside of voting booths, putting out flyers giving the wrong date for Election Day, slashing the tires of vans picking up the poor, push polling tactics, and attempting to push ridiculous regulations at the voting booth.
Until they get their heads out of their asses, they will continue to get 5% of the black vote...possibly less

Why should the gop even bother ? ?

Biden may be a goofball but Palin is a lunatic. I'll take a goofball over a lunatic anyday.

In any event, I'll Break it down
Powell - 4 Star General, Purple Heart, 3 Wars, Knight Commander of the Order Of The Bath, Joint Chief of Staff, Army Ranger & Air Assault, Legin d, honor by France, Presidential Medal of Freedom, etc
Limbaugh - Divorced 4 times, convicted of doctor shopping, drug addict, racist blowhard radio DJ..
Powell>>>>>>>>>>Limbaugh times 1 zillion.

It's interesting how conservatives are so pro military until their racism takes over.
Normally they wouldn't let anyone talk bad about a vet, but if he's a black vet and Rush says it, Fvck him.
-
Yeah and had did that work out for blacks under obama?
Again 95ers are fucking idiots, includoing yourself. You attack tom scott, allen west, clarence thomas, deride condi rice, mock herman cain, call every black repub an uncle tom and you wonder why the gop does not make efforts any more?
Genuises like walter williams and thomas sowell get attacked while poverty pimps get tv shows and air time.
Its a tired act and no one gives a damn anymore.

Powell is the one who stabbed mccain in the back.

Uh . . . no. Palin helped McCain. And Colin Powell voted for Obama for a number of reasons, including the fact he didn't like Palin and because of Obama's race. During his interview when announcing his endorsement, he mentioned the "transformational" nature of Obama's potential presidency, which was a reference to his race.
-

He made it quite clear that the decision was based on him selecting Sarah Palin as VP and when she was spewing her hatred of Muslims and accusing Obama of being a terrorist. Colin Powell is a man of honor and no person with common sense would think that he would vote for someone because of his race....and he certainly wouldn't endorse anyone who spits on the principles of the Constitution and common decency as Palin.

Really??? so why do the majority of conservatives want Palin to stay out of the race?? Considering that he's served Reagan, Bush Sr, and Bush Jr, donated and campaigned for McCain should say something. He didn't withdraw his endorsement until Palin was added on the ticket and started flinging garbage. Transformational by the way isn't referring to race but to someone who can bring people together for one cause.
In any event, Colin Powell has served his country since the 50's in three different wars and doesn't need to justify shit for anyone....especially to Rush Limbaugh

Yes, really. The poll numbers during the election showed Palin helped, not hurt, McCain.
The majority of Republicans don't want her to run, because she cannot win the nomination. That has nothing to do with whether or not she helped McCain in 2008.
I am a big Colin Powell fan and I wish he would have run for president. He is a great American. But I also watched his announcement. He was clearly talking about Obama's race when he talked about his endorsement.
-
Bring people together. Lmfao. What bs.
-
Powell - like other morons who voted for obama, got caught up in the moment and voted based upon sheer emotion, media hype, obamas empty record, and because it was the cool thing to do at the time.
If people can't see in retrospect how foolish they were for buying into the obama hype and faux narrative, what can one say?

Answer: What option did the GOP give us?
Right there^ is why most Blacks are incompatible with the Republican party.
SO lets see, a brother who can give speeches and community organize with no experience, no track record, no private sector life whatsoever who promises all things to all people, with the most left wing voting record in the entire Congress during his tenor ( further left than self described socialist Bernie Sanders), who sat in Rev Wrights church for 20 years but never heard anything "racist", with personal associations that run the gamut from Rod Blagoyavitch to Weather Underground leader Bill Ayers and he was the only option? ::)
Say what you want about John McCain-- the man was far better suited to run the country in every single conceivable way. Also, say whatever you will about Palin, Joe Biden has shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is at least as stupid as she is, if not more so.
If your argument is that Palin turned off blacks, it doesn't fly. Since when does a VP nominee determine the voting outcome of a presidential election?
Lets be real here brah-- You voted for Obama because he's black and most blacks have an idiotic tribal mentality when it comes to people of their race. Before Barry Obama ( you do know he changed his name to Barak so idiots like yourself would think it had " street cred") signed a single piece of legislation, the false narrative trumpeted in the black community and the ultra liberal mainstream media was that the election was a historic moment that ranks up there with the first moon landing and discovering the cure for cancer.
If blacks had a modicum of intellectual curiosity, they would be asking what other options are available based on what the democratic party has given them for the past 50 years. Know what your "best option" has done for you lately? Record food stamp benefits, welfare enrollment and Black unemployment hasn't been this high in almost 30 years=17%.
Every single principle that conservatives stand for helps the black community or is in sync with it-- whether its charter schools, less regulation, private sector growth, being pro family and anti abortion etc. Yet the herd mentality trumps all. Have you ever heard the mindlessly offensive drivel and stupidity that comes out of the mouths of the Congressional Black Caucus?
So spare me your nonsense about the GOP reaching out to the community and offering a viable alternative. The GOP knows blacks are hopeless. No conservative candidate could look himself in the mirror or maintain any support from other voters by stumping in the hood and promising everyone free money, job quotas, affirmative action and blaming whitey for the pervasive ass backwardness of Black American culture. Telling everyone to shut up about racism, getting off the dole, working for a living and earning your own way in life= Would probably lead to a full scale riot ( assuming more than 2 people actually showed up)
Change we can believe in!

Black unemployment: Highest in 27 years
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- The August jobs report was dismal for plenty of reasons, but perhaps most striking was the picture it painted of racial inequality in the job market.
Black unemployment surged to 16.7% in August, its highest level since 1984, while the unemployment rate for whites fell slightly to 8%, the Labor Department reported

And that's the GOP's current mindset so they shouldn't complain about blacks not voting for Republicans. Problem is that you also won't get any Hispanic vote, Asian Vote, or any other minority vote. And by doing so, you pretty much eliminate a great deal of your voting poll...and since not every white person will vote GOP, it leads to landslide victories such 2008.
The GOP needs to get back to what Ronald Reagan was doing and that's reaching out to everyone. Simply look at this map of the 1984 election
(http://www.historycentral.com/elections/1984PresElect.jpg)
Now if you look at the map, you should realize that everyone including blacks and other minorities obviously voted for him despite the fact that Jesse Jackson was running. That's because he simply reached out on a wide scale basis and brought everyone together regardless of who they were. The GOP may invoke the name of Reagan but none of them are acting like him. That's how you win elections.
Until the GOP starts living and breathing the legacy of Reagan, they will always be in trouble at election time....and quite frankly disrespecting one of Reagan's most trusted associates Colin Powell is not going to do them any favors.
The Bush people have no right to speak for my father, particularly because of the position he's in now. Yes, some of the current policies are an extension of the '80s. But the overall thrust of this administration is not my father's — these people are overly reaching, overly aggressive, overly secretive, and just plain corrupt. I don't trust these people."...... Ron Reagan

They don't need the black vote to win. Bush proved that TWICE (notwithstanding the fact that he got 11% of the black vote in 2004).
Obama knows he's got the black vote in his back pocket, no matter how much he sucks (which explains why he didn't go anywhere NEAR a black neighborhood during his bus tour). All he has to do is to get the usual suspects (Jackson, Sharpton, Waters, Jackson-Lee et. al) to con people like you into thinking that voting GOP is one step shy of sticking us back in the fields to pick cotton.
He's sucking up to white people (which he's losing in DROVES) because without them, he's TOAST (no matter how many negroes turns out in 2012). But, many may just say home, which effectively makes them GOP votes.

Think again! Unlike many black voters, Hispanics don't lockstep for the Democrats. Check the 2000 and 2004 elections. Notice the BUMP in Latino voters that Bush got. He didn't get the majority, but he got a significant chunk of them to put him over the top.

Until the GOP starts living and breathing the legacy of Reagan, they will always be in trouble at election time....and quite frankly disrespecting one of Reagan's most trusted associates Colin Powell is not going to do them any favors.
The Bush people have no right to speak for my father, particularly because of the position he's in now. Yes, some of the current policies are an extension of the '80s. But the overall thrust of this administration is not my father's — these people are overly reaching, overly aggressive, overly secretive, and just plain corrupt. I don't trust these people."...... Ron Reagan
Wrong again idiot. Blacks make up less than 15% percent of the country in 2011. Back when Reagan ran it was less than that. Not a single state is majority black.
And Fuck Colin Powell. Another guy that gets undeserved esteem from the black community. When he was a GOP household name, he was an Uncle Tom, an oreo, etc.--- Now that he has stabbed several Republicans in the back, he all of a sudden needs to be worshiped by everyone?
You fucking libs are so predictable and so pathetic. Do the rest of the planet a favor and take your identity politick herd mentality off a cliff.

I never considered him a "Uncle Tom", or an oreo, and none of the black people I knew, especially the former military ones, thought of him as such...I always would liked to have sat down and talked with him about various topics...If he were to seriously run as a GOP candidate, he would blast everybody out the water, the whole field is low rent.
In fact, if he ran in 2008 against Obama, and I would have voted for him.

Now if you look at the map, you should realize that everyone including blacks and other minorities obviously voted for him despite the fact that Jesse Jackson was running. That's because he simply reached out on a wide scale basis and brought everyone together regardless of who they were. The GOP may invoke the name of Reagan but none of them are acting like him.

That's incorrect. Mondale got 91 percent of the black vote. Reagan 9 percent.

THANK YOU!!
As I said, the GOP doesn't need the black vote to win. That's also why Obama didn't bother going to the black communities for his bus tour. He knows he had the black vote on lock. With that said, he needs to concern himself with TURNOUT. He may get 95% of the black vote; but if the numbers are lower, overall, especially in swing states, he's in BIIIIIIIG TROUBLE.

That statistic is highly inaccurate even with Hispanic voters.....its from a sample 9147 people which you can't equate to the millions that reside in the US. Mondale as a Democrat may have gotten more blacks and hispanics but a lot less than usual. When people don't like their party member running, they won't vote for the opposing side but they also will likely stay home which is what most of them did.

That may have been true 30 years ago that the GOP has not needed the minority vote but that's changed a great deal. The GOP needs all the votes they can get and at the same time, the last thing they wish to do is to badmouth one of Reagan's circle of friends and one of the most decorated and respected military leaders such as Colin Powell. Insulting a 4 Star General never goes well with getting the military vote which is traditionally a Republican stronghold.
With the GOP obviously being led by Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck, its pretty much giving Obama a free pass for another 4 years in the White House.

You have a source with more accurate statistics? Sounds pretty accurate to me.

The electoral college speaks for itself but using a sample of 9000 people to represent millions isn't accurate either. However a lot of black were pissed off at Mondale's comment toward Jesse Jackson during the debates so it most certainly bit him in the ass

The electoral college says nothing about ethnic voting. The link I provided shows that blacks did not vote for Reagan. You can question the reliability of the source, but it is consistent with voting trends the past thirty years.
On an unrelated note, I think we should stop keep race-based statistics period.

What percentage of the African-American vote did Walter Mondale get in the 1984 general election? Here are some statistics from the book "Racial and Cultural Minorities: An Analysis of Prejudice and Discrimination" by George Eaton Simpson and John Milton Yinger, page 234:
In November 1984, exit polls showed that nationwide 88 percent of Blacks voted for Mr. Mondale; 65 percent of Whites voted for Mr. Reagan. In the South, Mr. Reagan got 71 percent of the white vote; 90 percent of Blacks voted for Mr. Mondale. Approximately 9 percent fewer White southerners voted for the Democratic ticket in 1984 than in 1980. Blacks provided more than half of the Mondale vote in the South. Some observers believe that increases in black registration and turnout in 1984 were at least offset by a movement of Whites into the Republican column...

Lmao! Tell me again why the gop should now cater to a segment of the population who will never vote for them?

That's right, only 88 percent, 7 points lower than the usual plus the fact that most blacks simply stated home.
Now, its 27 years later and the population has increased by around 90 million....mostly hispanic and blacks with a significant reduction in whites and they won't be staying home like they normally did. You simply can't win the election with just the white vote.
Colin Powell has retired from military and public service but because Rush, Glenn, are taking cheap shots at him, its simply making the GOP look very bad. Along with Palin galloping around acting like a banshee and the Tea Party acting like some fools, its making re-election for Obama very easy. Messing with Colin Powell is not a good idea.
If the GOP wants to win, they have to come back to a moderate stand and clear out all the wackos. They are way too far to the right as it stands which won't do them any favors. The fact that Obama is still beating every contender without even campaigning on RCP should tell you something.
The GOP needs to take back their party rather than letting Rush and Glenn be in charge of it because they are giving away a lot of votes. And when you give away votes in a close race, its not a good idea

Lmfao!

"Only" 88 percent??
But you said this:

So which is it?

Both, you may have 88% of blacks voting Democrat but its even worse if most of them didn't vote at all. That's pretty much what happened on Election Day and one of the reasons why Mondale was schooled.
He disrespected Jesse Jackson - There goes your black vote
He criticized Ronald Reagan saying he's too old - There goes your senior citizen votes
And that's what's happening now. The GOP is pissing on people who would have voted for the party and are expecting the white vote to carry them over. It simply isn't going to happen because not every white person is going to vote for the GOP. Bush got 11% of the black vote in 2004 which may not sound like much but the elections in 2000 and 2004 have been so close that those percentages matter. If he got the 5% that McCain got, we could have been looking at Kerry and Edwards running the country.
Ignoring votes is not a smart idea but pissing off people who cause everyone who normally don't vote to come out in full force and crack skulls at the voting booth. That's the game the GOP is playing right now to satisfy the Tea Party but its going to seriously backfire.

Dude you are not making sense. How could Mondale have lost the black vote if he still got between 88 and 90 percent of the black vote??
-

Are you not listening??? What number is larger?? - 88% of 1 million votes or 50% of 4 million votes???
It not only matters on percentage, but it also matter on the number of people voting.

Most blacks are congregated in certain districts so that their numbers really dont make a difference in most elections that already are not going a certain way.
The districts are so gerrymandered that this is often the case to where most of these districts are not even in play under any circumstance.

Wrong....housing isn't segregated anymore. You may have some predominantly black or white communities but most of them are mixed nowadays. Don't forget that in a presidential election, districts determine where the electoral college swing.
BTW, gerrymandering is illegal

Really....I think that 95% of blacks don't wish to vote for someone like Sarah Palin who is calling them n i g g e r behind their back and bashing Muslims or for a party that sends out fried chicken and watermelon flyers or post them on their website.
The other 5% likely don't watch TV or have internet service. Hope that helps, cracker... ;D

Fine - let them keep voting for the same poverty pimps and commie thugs promising ponies and unicorns all while things get worse and worse and worse for them.
Most people have simply given up caring any more so long as 95% of blacks so stuck on stupid.

If they presented the right economic plan that i agreed with, of course.
I find a lot of things about Perry and Bachmann off putting on the bible shit - but their economic plans are so drastically better than Obama, that they could call me dago, wop, goombah, spaghetti roller, greaser, mobster, etc all day long and I would not give a rats ass if their policies for the economy were good.

Well, I got bad news for you but the majority of people...black or white vote for a person because they like what they say or how they look or what image they are carrying. If someone is calling me a n i g g e r then why should I take the additional time to listen to anything else they have to say.
That's the problem with the Tea Party and the current status of the GOP. They are calling Muslims terrorists, blacks blacks, telling latinos to go back to Mexico, and calling gays guys. If you're doing all of that, then they are automatically going to vote for someone who is not calling them all of these names
Get the picture now. Tea Party is simply giving away votes to the other side which is why the Democrats are having a field day painting GOP contenders as Tea Party
