60% of White Republican Iowans Vote For Black Man, Two Hispanics

Because the DC Media believe it is a powerful weapon that benefits Democrats, nothing will ever stop them from using it. But if this same media truly believed in science and objectivity, the results in Iowa would forever end their relentless smears against conservatives as racists. Tuesday night, one of the whitest and most conservative states in the country — Iowa — gave 60% of the Republican vote to two Hispanics and a black man.
Moreover, for the first time in history a Hispanic won a presidential primary. But due to the fact that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)97%
is Republican, no one on the media dares say so.
Hispanic Ted Cruz handily won the evening with 28% support.
Hispanic Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)79%
shocked the world with a third place showing of 23%.
Dr. Ben Carson, a black man, came in 4th with 9%.
Total: 60%.
Meanwhile, over on the Democrat side, two people so old and so white they seem like something straight out of central casting, won 99% of the vote. Another white guy took the remaining 1%. Democrats gave their voters no other alternative.
Although our identity-politics’ obsessed media do not see this as a virtue, those 60% of mostly white Republicans are colorblind. They voted for the man and the content of the man’s character, not the skin color.
The DC Media is so eager to cover this fact up, history is being ignored. Ted Cruz is the first Hispanic to win Iowa, and for strictly partisan political purposes, the media is intentionally refusing to report that news.
In fact, Cruz is the first Hispanic to win any kind of presidential primary. That isn’t making news today for one very simple reason: the DC Media sees Cruz as the wrong kind of Hispanic, a “white Hispanic,” a sell-out… If Cruz were a Democrat, his win would be all about this historic first and what it means for America. The media would be going insane pumping this fact. Instead, they are wishing this history into a cornfield.
In the future, when a Hispanic Democrat does win a presidential primary, only then will the media celebrate that victory as a historic first. Ted Cruz will become a asterisk.

so the fuck what?
why are you even bringing up race?
-
Hey Bum - why not the title "60 % of White Republican Iowans voted for the 3 fundies"
That's what they all have in common
It's not race but why am I not surprised that you only see race
-
why are you even bringing up race?
I love it when people accuse liberals of race-baiting, then continue to do their own race-baiting with threads like this.
-
Really 240 that's what you get from this thread...I think my boy is being ironic. The left is all about race I think beach was just pointing that out. See its ok to tout it if its on the Left...first black, first women, first gay whatever...but on the right we get ...well "white Hispanics", " Uncle Tom"...whatever they consider Carly Fiorina etc. The Left is running two frauds. Bernie makes 175K and Hil is a multi millionaire. These two are as full of shit as the rest of them. Cruz and Trump are wealthy......Rubio is fine right now but he certainly wasn't as he came up. Two are Latino's and the other is the classic white guy...but its never mentioned as a positive. Oddly when latins are Cuban American that's always glossed over....why....because their usually anti communist if not outright repubs. The left can't have that can they.
-
I think the point is that Democrats often paint these type of voters as a bunch of redneck racists that are probably members of the Klu Klux Klan.
I think the voting results show that characterizing them this way is patently false.

nice spin and great job projecting the right wing BS about the left being "all about" race
the only place that is true is inside the skulls of right wing nut jobs

are there a lot of KKK in Iowa?
You know what they do have in Ioawa.....FUNDIES

Do you think it advances your point of view when you act like a child? Don't answer that because I don't care.
Posts like this is why nobody here takes you seriously. I hope you at least amuse yourself because the rest of us think you are a buffoon.

How is pointing out that Iowa is full of fundies and not KKK acting like a child?
You sound like a person who can't defend his own post and has decided to piss and moan instead

this cannot be emphasized enough...it is being COMPLETELY IGNORED.
if he were a Dem, we would be seeing story after heartwarming story about this achievement in the media. but since he has an R next to his name, NOTHING WHATSOEVER.
-
The Iowa electorate is just over 60% evangelical and 60% of the vote went to the 3 FUNDIE candidates
shocking
I do think it's hilarious that Repubs have turned this into a race issue (and apparently appear to be congratulating themselves as well)
-
Lol at asking for props because they're not racist. Thats one of those things you're supposed to do without needing a pat on the back.
"Look, we aren't Racist!" Oh man. Sad.

and less than 12 hours after the caucus ended Bum is complaining because the media has not patted them on the head for voting for the 3 fundies who also happen to be Cuban and Black

No doubt. Just watch and see what happens if Hillary picks a Hispanic or other minority as her VP. The MSM will be all over it.
-
I donno i guess. no party is free from subjectivity and bias in one degree or another.
When i see Cruz don't see a cuban, i see a texan.

When I look at Cruz I see batshit crazy Fundie
Same as when I look (and more importantly listen) to Rubio and Carson
That's exactly what the Fundie voters in Iowa see and hear as well

Come on dude. You know if the top four or five GOP candidates consisted of haole males, and the Democrats were running two Hispanics and a black dude in their top four, the MSM would be all over it.

I know you're really want to believe that but it's right wing race baiting bullshit
let's see the fundies in Iowa vote for an atheist black or hispanic and then you might have a point
Trump was initially told to not even bother in Iowa and that's not because he wasn't black or hispanic
It's because he wasn't a fundie
-
Liberals are accusing someone of race baiting? lol. Now I really have seen everything.
Seriously, It's not our fault that you guys are either too dense to recognize or too dishonest to admit what the point of this thread really is.
You guys are nothing but Democrat spin doctors posting here to twist words, deflect and blur the truth. You are leftist stooges. Fortunately there are still people on this planet that see through your game. The only thing worse than a paid Democrat hack is an unpaid Democrat hack.
-

It doesn't happen to be that way.
Like i said, Cruz comes across white.
what percentage of the black vote is Carson getting? Shouldn't he get all the Black vote?
-

You sound like Chris Mathews and Bill Richardson who said Cruz isn't Hispanic enough.
Nobody is talking about pulling a certain ethnic vote. The issue is the MSM and liberal hypocrisy when it comes to candidates and officeholders.
-
When i see Cruz don't see a cuban, i see a texan.
I see a former Canadian.

Seems like more conservative cry babying.

Repubs have run out of things to be butthurt about.
now they're butthurt about hypothetical things.
They cry in bed at night because their girlfriend might cheat on them one day. It's the victim mentality. When some of the repubs (trump) are acting like Dems, they can't really cry about the Democrats anymore. So they have to make up some shit about what the media may have done in an alternate universe.

I don't watch, read or listen to MSM at all. So i wouldn't know but i wouldn't be surprised. Just as i wouldn't be surprised if FOX slants other things to appeal to their audience.
Its that this article and your hypothetical seems like more conservative cry babying again.

You are crying about the fact the article highlights MSM and liberal hypocrisy when it comes to race. You then claim you don't watch the MSM at all, so your opinion is uninformed. Now you're claiming what exactly??

great point Bum
It's not like the MSM ever asked if Obama was "black enough"
Sure, I mean Steve Kroft asked it on 60 minutes but no one watches that
http://www.cjr.org/politics/is_obama_black_enough.php
Kroft isn’t the first journalist to ask, implicitly or not, whether Obama is black enough. A Los Angeles Times editorial on Tuesday asked “is Obama really black?”, while New York Daily News columnist Stanley Crouch asserted in November that “other than color, Obama did not — does not — share a heritage with the majority of black Americans, who are descendants of plantation slaves … So when black Americans refer to Obama as ‘one of us,’ I do not know what they are talking about.”
We could actually fill pages of this thread with links to journalists (and whatever Faux News is supposed to be) asking that question
funny how he was not black enough yet at the same time the right wing said people only voted for him because he was black (you only need to search this board to see that statement over and over)
They also called him an elitist because he went to Harvard (again, you can search this board and find that comment) but I don't recall Dems making that claim about Cruz (though maybe they have and I missed it) but it was CONSTANT with Repubs saying that about Obama.
We can go on and on but the point about Iowa is that 60% of the fundies voted for the 3 fundie candidates and the other 40% of the electorate voted for the rest of the pack (with Trump getting most of it)
-
Highlight what you just posted? No. Explain your point? Yes.

This is why sometimes mulititasking at work isn't good when at the same time going back and forth on this forum.
I got it in my head somehow that when you referenced MSM you were referencing msnbc and i then ran with it. lol
So when i said: "I don't watch, read or listen to MSM at all" I was meaning msnbc. I watch, read and listen to mostly CNN and sometimes FOX, Drudge, and BBC.
When i asked where does the article "highlight" MSM, i was thinking you were saying the article was talking specifically about MSNBC. lol
So ya, that was very dumb...... of me heheheheheehehe
I still stand by the point i was making about the MSM catering to their viewers and that crying about it is dumb.
Also, Cruz doesn't come across as Hispanic. He comes across a white a guy.

the bottom line is, if a Hispanic candidate had just won the Iowa caucus or any other state for the first time in American history and they had a 'D' next to their name, it would be a big media story. period. you all know they would be fawning over it, there would be tons of headline pictures with him smiling,waving with his family, etc..
but its Cruz, so the media has COMPLETELY IGNORED this historical first. its a blatant double standard and everyone knows it.

I don't disagree. And there is a good argument for a double standard. But we are still left with the pesky fact that he doesn't look or sound Hispanic.

I disagree
a black guy won it in 2008 and also won the sate in the 2008 election
the right wingers on this board routinely said that Dems only voted for Obama because he was black due to some kind of white guilt
I mean what other reason could there have been right..it had to be his race
I guess that's the reason why white Ioanan's voted for a pasty/doughy white Canadian hispanic this year
Oh yeah and a woman won it this year for the Dems. Where's the media heralding that historic first?

Good Point. Maybe because in both instances no one really cares.

Mabye it's because it's not about race or gender

It proves they are gender discriminating. :D
