Dispite popular believe Belly has many Black friends and relationships, I even get invited to many events with their family and friends. Yesterday evenings i and my wife was at a back yard cook out. Without warning politic topic can up. After listening and sitting quit I was shocked ...... The majority of those having the conversation publicly stated that they would not vote for Obama this coming election and some stated they just will refuse to vote at all.

Many of the reason are the same that many of us conservative have and some even have personal reason of not supporting Obama. Many felt taken and betrayed, that does not sit will in the Black community.

Those of you who are Black or those who have Black friend is this the same consensus that you are hearing?

Note when ask my feeling I stated that I'm white, conservative, republican, business owner, well off and I believe what Malcom X said in 1964 at the NAACP convention hold true today.
Great pulled pork.... :laugh:

Your black friends must pay taxes because I don't know anyone who pays taxes that would vote for this joker ever again. Luckily for Obama, 47% of this country pays zero taxes and instead complain about the 1%, who pays the vast majority of our taxes, aren't paying their "fair share".

What a joke.

Wow! Obama faith as a loser gets better and better with each passing day. The neighbor and her mom stopped over our house yesterday. Her mom is a die hard Democrat we are talking Obama sticker still on her car….. was two weeks ago but not anymore. This women (a great lady) has been a Democrat her whole life, she even works the voting polls sometimes.
So the neighbor and her mom are talking, her mom said, she want to show me something. We go outside to her car … See anything different? I look and walk around then I see that that stupid Obama bumper sticker is gone. Who removed that I’m stupid sticker …. Quickly she replied, I did …he can kiss my ass.
Me and my pray group (Democrat Sewing Circle) will not be voting for Obama or any Democrat this year. They are all socialist and anti- American and Obama is a failure and a fraud… WTF.

So in the last three days … Between a Black friend and his family and friend and my neighbor mom Old Democrat Diehard or the elderly smart people….. Obama would be hard pressed get any votes from what once was a 98% sure thing…..

What surprising is their early commitment and verbal commitment not to vote from Obama…

Again confirming the fact that obama will lose votes from EVERY demographic. The only question is how many, and whether Romney wins in landslide fashion.

I know quite a few people that voted, fairly enthusiasticly, for Obama in 2008 and would vote for a blind squirrel over him now.

That's still only anecdotal, but it does make me suspicious of polls showing a close race because I think he's lost a lot more votes than those polls indicate, not to mention some of his supporters just won't be motivated to go to the polls. Deep down, Obama's campaign knows nobody WANTS to vote for Obama, so they have to work that much harder to make him a less appalling choice than Romney. Hence all the attack ads.

Really, I'm at a loss as to why anyone would double-down on this loser. His primary focus the past 3.5 years has been on re-election, which is shameful. You have to be on the govt dole with no desire to get off of it to vote for this guy.

Recent article (can't find it now) stated that estimated 40% less voter turn out is expected in 2012 Election.
I would have to assume that those types of figures would be more devastating to the Obama campaign. I would also assume that those numbers would be Democrat rejecting Obama agenda...

40% on the surface sounds ridiculous, not to mention it would be partially offset by Repubs that stayed home in 2008.

I could definitely see 5M+ less voters turning out for Obama, but that's only like 5%.

Yeah, somethin's fishy there.

It does raise an interesting polling statistic that I'd like to see: The % of 2008 Obama voters that will vote for Romney in 2012 and the correlary, the % of 2008 McCain voters that will vote for Obama in 2012. I have a hunch which number is higher, but I'd like to see some polling to see if my guess is right.

lol, you're such an idiot.

Man, good to know one set of family and friends in Ohio can determine how a whole race will vote in an election.
Hell, let me find some whites, Asians, and Latinos down the street and see how they will vote.
I'll call the election after I talk with them.

Small sample size my friend.
And, the days of on voting bloc voting the same way are long gone.

To counter what Belly said, half my family is black, and they will still be voting for the President by all accounts. But, then again, one cannot project what will happen. Anything that tries to predict is just trying to get some public attention.

What half pays taxes? Wwhat half collects entitlements that should separate the vote in your family :rolleyes:

Did Belly just call someone else biased?

Mind = blown

At least we now know that, like many hard-core R's out there, he "has many black friends". Funny, my friends are my friends. I never felt the need to categorize them by race.

No you just bring up race in like 95% of your posts.

That understandable considering the Socialist Democrat Liberal friendship is categorized on a level of
entitlement or tax payer
entitlement or wealth
entitlement or business owner
entitlement/union or people who built their future without government intervention

Black friends
Old Faithful Democrat

Prove it. Check 'em out. If the number is less than 95% I will accept your apology.

It's one thing to say something in the heat of the moment, it's another thing entirely to spread an out and out lie.

Once again, prove it, big man.

MSNBC cuts out every speech by a minority Republican:

http://dailycaller.com/2012/08/28/msnbc-abandons-gop-convention-during-every-speech-by-a-minority/

[LEFT]One of the left’s favorite attacks on the Republican Party is that it is the party of old white people, devoid of diversity and probably racist.

If you were watching MSNBC’s coverage of the Republican National Convention in Tampa on Tuesday night, you might believe those assertions, since missing from the coverage was nearly every ethnic minority that spoke during Tuesday’s festivities.

In lieu of airing speeches from former Democratic Rep. Artur Davis, a black American; Mia Love, a black candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from Utah; and Texas senatorial hopeful Ted Cruz, a Latino American, MSNBC opted to show commentary anchored by Rachel Maddow from Rev. Al Sharpton, Ed Schultz, Chris Matthews, Chris Hayes and Steve Schmidt.

Throughout this convention, Matthews has accused the Republicans of playing dog-whistle racist politics while on scene in Tampa. It isn’t clear, however, if Matthews will hurl accusations of racism at Davis, Love or Cruz for speeches his network failed to broadcast
[/LEFT]

The hypocrisy of the Left is too vast to measure ... as is their desperation.

MSNBC is the worst. I forget the issue, but some guest (an African American) was talking on CNN the other day and said something along the lines of "it has to be said/reported on a credible (read: not Fox News) media". Laughable. I view Fox and CNN as pretty similar, one leans left and the other leans right. I don't consider Fox near as bad or biased as many liberals like to believe, and they're hypocrites if they don't see they same thing in CNN.

Unless you believe some BS like Fox viewers are less intelligent or more easily fooled, the ratings would suggest it IS the best of the bunch. I mean it outdraws the others COMBINED. Given the demographics, do people only watch Fox so they can rail on errors and bias (sort of like how liberals seem to make-up the largest base of listeners for Limbaugh)? Or is it maybe because, just maybe, that Fox actually is more fair and objective than the other networks? Because you can't look at the ratings and say only the far right and/or ignorant idiots watch Fox. Kind of hard to believe it's as bad as some people say yet it still pulls massive ratings.

Arthur Davis summed it up pretty well. Liberals are running the show and completely intolerant of centrist views.

gosh a ruddies what kind of people attend republican conventions.Two "attendees" were removed from the Republican National Convention Tuesday after they threw nuts at an African-American CNN camera operator and said, “This is how we feed animals.”
