    are YOU not avoiding the much more pragmatic question:

    What is or will the republican party be willing to do to get blacks to stop voting for democrats?

    All this talk about racism and us buying black votes and keeping them in urban plantations is all good for internet mudslinging and "yo mama" sort of back and forth insults. The reality is that blacks vote for democrats.... so do most other non-white ethnic minorities. Non-white ethnic minorities are, every election cycle, becoming a larger part of the electorate and whites are becoming a lesser part. It's not rocket science to predict where that's headed. What are republicans willing to DO about all that?

    If the answer is that Republicans should become more like Democrats, it seems a rather self-destructive answer, does it not? Here is what I think the crux of the problem is:

    A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largesse out of the public treasury. After that the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits, with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy.

    So unless the electorate quickly awakens to the fact that it is mostly voting for its own demise, I don't see how the party of entitlement is going to be derailed from its ultimate goal of dictatorial rule. Unless of course, this stark reality can be embedded into the consciousness of the electorate to a greater degree than its desire for entitlement.

    You mean tell you the flipside reason? Sure; first there has been decades of political propaganda from the left via the left-biased mainstream media painting the GOP as racist White devils. Then there is the fact that most GOPers of any race or ethnicity thinks it's a really bad idea to have endless handout programs sans effective accountability and attendant alterations regarding bad habits. So the GOP is MEAN by wanting give-away limitations and behavior pattern accountability.

    The Dem Party on the other hand intimate -- and pretty much outright state in many instances that -- "Nothing is EVER your own damn fault and that you SHOULD emotionally wallow in ancient grievances, and that your own communities should not bother to set any standards for their own community members . . . because that would be disrespecting your right to --" Oh I dunno -- it would be disrespecting their RIGHTS to have members of their communities gun one another down just for the fun of it or to riot and loot and burn the property of others inside their own communities for one third of a month.

    Now here's the interesting bit; since the whole nation has seen all of that occur as the absolute truth . . . why are you bothering to ask these silly questions of yours? Why not instead work to change the problem if you really give a damn? Oh but then all the sanctified leftwing 'solution-sets' have already been tried for fifty years and are now considered to have been pretty much of a failure by the greater numbers of citizens watching . . . as nothing whatsoever changes for the substantial better for communities as a whole.

    So what else could leftwingers do except quintuple down on failed policies, point the trembling finger of blame rightward while HOWLING about racism, and then demand MORE taxpayers' funding to continue the negative feedback cycle of being emotional and fiscal enablers of bad behavior and horrendous lifestyles of their very own guaranteed pool of kept voters? Sweet!

    No, I think it's sad for the republican party; they had a golden opportunity to win the black vote over to their side and as usual, they dropped the ball. They've been doing a lot of that lately and you wonder why they are continuing to sink lower and lower into the political morass of losers. Bottom line is that the Republican party just doesn't get it.

    It means that the 30% of eligible minorities are part of the Democrat party. That is entirely different from saying that minorities are part of the Democrat party, in general.

    It isn't irrelevant if you are going to claim that minorities by and large vote democrat, which is false.

    The facts are, out of all the eligible voting minorities in the nation, very few of the demographic vote Democrat. Many because you haven't conned them into doing so yet.

    Exactly who does or doesn't get it will be determined by the public in November of this year and in November of 2016. Do you have any doubts whatsoever that the Democrats are going to lose seats in the House and the Senate? Neither do I. Neither does anyone else. If the Democrats got it, they wouldn't support Obama and they wouldn't support Obamacare.

    What do they base their vote on when both candidates are black?

    How is exposing racism an attack? Those people who regularly post about awful back people are. It's a thing, and you can't make it go away.

    If it's embarrassing, then good... maybe it will spur Republicans to do something about racism.

    Both you and I will have to agree to disagree on this thread.

    Actually, he left out the fact that many of these posts were false, but they all were embraced and defended by the other bigots on the Forum.

    I doubt it. Hillary Clinton will walk right in.

    That is fair enough and there is really no reason why would need to agree. I just enjoy the argument.

    Not to mention Gore's 90% support among those supposedly EVIL anti white racist black voters.

    The fact of the matter is, blacks generally support the liberal candidate, regardless of skin color. What we have here is a case of racist conservatives who do vote based on skin color trying to deflect from their own racism by calling others racist. It's how these clowns roll.

    You are right, the "latino" population is growing fast, which is why the GOP is soon going to kick their conservative base to the curb in order to try and get a good size chunk of that "latino" vote. When that happens, I will be laughing.

    They have absolutely no proof LBJ ever said the racist things they accuse him of saying.

    As I've said before, and I'll say again here. If LBJ was so racist, why would he give up the much larger white vote in the south for the minority black vote? Why would he want to lose a HUGE permanent voting bloc of white voters so that he could gain the small minority black vote, if he really hated blacks so much? It makes no sense, because it's a bunch of tripe that's only believed in low information right wing circles.

    Look at the comments section of right wing hack websites such as "The Blaze" or "WND" and see the racist excrement yourself.

    The majority of minorities who do vote, vote Democrat. Whether or it you think it's a "con", is irrelevant. The ones who do vote, mostly vote Democrat. That's a fact. The ones who don't vote, don't vote.

    Isn't it telling how those two are so "outraged" over the word "token", but could care less when their buddies are blatantly racist as proven in post #116.

    the question is

    will the black vote be out in good enough numbers for Hillary in 2016? Or, will they stay home?

    They're staying home in 2014

    The word token has nothing to do with the discussion.

    Sweet lying about something he said... is the discussion.


    Cute defense you played though.

    Don't forget, 2016 will have millions of amnestied democrats from the southwest to make up for the voters who stay home due to the monopoly of white candidates.

    I'm not sure if Obama will be able to pull off full citizenship for illegal aliens by then.

    You're putting too much faith in "integrity"... and not enough in "partisan, circle-jerk whining".
