The republicans think THE PARTY IS ON COURSE FOR A BIG WRECK IN THE NEXT ELECTION . WHAT DO YOU THINK ? there is a rumor going around that the blacks are going to roll out the votes big time to offset the republicans vote and the independant vote . The president may be a big winner this time ..Should be very very interesting .

They pretty well rolled them out this time too!

I sit next to some blacks when I went to vote...some couldn't even read, and was told what to check on the ballot!

If that ain't a run by race, I don't know what is!

If I had not seen this with my own eyes, I might of have been skeptical about such a claim...but I seen it myself...not hearsay!

I will always feel he was elected by race turnout, regardless of his campaign or promises!

And the people may be stupid enough to let it happen again... providing we're still here, and China don't foreclose!

JMO-If I Still Have One!

There is nothing in the law that says you have to be literate to vote.

That is true, but you were not there to hear the conversations, it wasn't about literacy...they had an agenda, and that was to get him in at any cost...no matter the promises!

Kind of sounds like any special interest group to me.

Maybe, maybe not...I'm not saying it was the same in your town, but I know for a fact it was in mine...I was sitting in the middle of it!

So, this is where I draw my above mentioned conclusion on the out come!

People have the right to vote for whoever they want for whatever reason they want. That's what makes this country what it is.
A lot of blacks didn't vote for Obama. And a lot of whites did.

Ask.. and you shall receive..



New poll spells potential trouble for Democrats


Mon Mar 8, 5:23 pm ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A new poll on Monday found signs of trouble ahead for President Barack Obama and his Democrats on national security issues such as the handling of terrorism suspects.

The poll was conducted jointly by Democratic Corps, a Democratic organization, and Third Way, a progressive non-profit organization. It was done mainly to gauge voters' views on Democrats' handling of national security.

The poll also found weaknesses for the Democrats on other issues ahead of November elections, in which they hope to defend their strong majorities in Congress.

The poll found 60 percent of Americans believe the United States is on the wrong track. It also found that people rated Democrats at about the same level as Republicans, in what amounted to an erosion of the advantage Democrats have held.

"We would not want the election to be held today, with this poll," said Democracy Corps' chief pollster Stan Greenberg. "If the election were held today, this would be a 'change' election."

Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett, interviewed by Newsweek, shrugged off a question about whether she was worrying about the November elections, saying they are a long way off.

"We can't afford to focus on the day-to-day polls," she said. "If you think that we should second-guess (Obama's) decision to do fundamentally big things, there are plenty of other people who would have been that kind of president. That's not the kind of president he wants to be."

Obama received strong ratings in the poll on his handling of national security challenges such as the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

But, the pollsters said in a memo, "Historical doubts about the Democratic Party on national security show signs of reviving and many voters worry the president and his administration are not dealing forcefully enough with terrorist suspects."

The poll found that the Democrats' gap on national security has widened in the areas of "keeping America safe," "ensuring a strong military" and "making America safer from nuclear threats."

Singled out by the pollsters was the Obama administration's response to the attempted bombing of a Detroit-bound plane on Christmas Day.

The Obama administration has drawn fire from Republicans for treating the bombing suspect, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, as a typical criminal suspect instead of as an enemy combatant. The administration has fought back by insisting he has been handled no differently than alleged shoe bomber Richard Reid.

The poll found a 51 to 44 percent majority of likely voters disapproved of Obama's efforts "on the prosecution and interrogation of terrorism suspects."

The pollsters said to improve Democrats' standing on national security, they need to develop a stronger narrative on terrorism, and stress toughness and results by pointing out the increased use of Predator drones against Islamic militants and that FBI interrogation techniques that persuaded Abdulmutallab to produce "actionable intelligence."

Again...that is true, but I was trying to explain how/why/where I was in order to draw my conclusion! I don't remember all of the conversations, word for word...but it was (as it seemed) a movement to get all/as many in to vote for him...just to get him in!

I mean I'm a fair man, and I can live with whatever life throws at me, but this was so open and obvious...they made it that way! Even the local media seen what was happening, and had a story on it...It was that obvious!

And this is just one small town, and I'm sure that we're not the only city/town that had the same issues/idea/agenda!

I mean, it's no skin off my noes...but I feel so many voted for the wrong reasons! Just saying!

Wow, did someone say "trainwreck"...

lol,, just for the record, about 66 percent of non hispanic white voters turned out and 65 percent of black voters turned out for the 2008 election. With simple math, and knowledge that there are FAR MORE white folks in the US than black, its pretty inconsistent numbers to suggest that OBAMA won because of the black vote. People of all colors supported him. If blacks had not voted for him, he may not have won, but that could be said the same of the whites.


Its not rational to assume this election was about race STRICTLY because OBAMA is black. Dont get me wrong, I am just as sure that some people voted him in due to his race as I am that some will always opposed him because of it. I think, in the end though, the average person doesn't dont elect a president they dont truly support or feel will represent their interests,, too much is at stake.

Also, lets be honest that people align with those they ASSUME will represent them. Their were religious who voted for Bush because of what they thought were his religious views, their were women who voted for Clinton because of what they thought would be her ability to relate to their issues,,,etc,,,. This is the first time race has been an issue because someone ran who was not white. I think it does voters a disservice to all of a sudden disqualify their votes because of the correlation between their race and their candidates.

I think the more people who utilize their right to vote,, the better,,,regardless of their race.

there is a law that you must be alone in the ballot though,, IF you saw such a breach, you should have reported it (for future reference)

Some older people don't know how to read. I've seen them. That doesn't mean that they don't know how to think. Many black people in my city are Democrats. If they voted for Obama, they doesn't mean that they voted by race. They came out to vote for their party. Many Democrats came out to vote after all of those years with the Bush family.

Almost of the white people that I know, extended family included, voted for Obama.

I love those pictures.

Thats true , I hadnt thought of assistance that is available for disabled or illiterate. IT is against the law though to persuade a voter in any way while assisting them.

On election day, when the results roll in, a lot of incumbent democrats and republicans are gonna feel like they've been hunting with Dick C = the numbers are not going to be good.The pain is a coming....

I say Good Riddance!!!

In many states, there's nothing in the law that says you even need to be ALIVE to vote ...

lol...........Like the deceased individuals that the Democrats had registered to vote?
