Speaks to the stupidity of the people in DC, and degree of corruption.

Put him on the ballot, and he'd win as a dead man.

People are truly ignorant.

A classic example of why Blacks should not be allowed to vote. Sorry. But it is what it is.

Yes there's some small percentage of them to whom the responsibility may reasonably be given. But it's very small.

And yes I know that we can't really say Blacks can't vote. But let's face it: Them being able to vote is really screwing up the country.

I related this story on here on the Wednesday after election day, but here's a rehash. I mentioned to a black, male co-worker from Maryland that I was shocked that Larry Hogan (white R) beat Anthony Brown (black D) for Maryland Governor. The co-worker said that Marylanders had been getting killed with taxes and something had to be done about it. I said, "so you voted for Hogan?". He said no, he voted for Brown.

So blacks are going to vote their skin color regardless of the issues. The racism runs very, very deep with them.

John, just this one time you should try to say what you believe and stop beating around the bush.

No. It's people like you who are voting and screwing up the country. Seriously John? There are white people that will vote for candidates based on political affiliation and that's it.


Some Libertarian you are.

C'mon, JSO...there are many people that should not be able to vote. Take California, for instance...

Get your facts straight!

Few people actually vote in California. Most ballots submitted come from union offices.

I don't think there's any question that the country would be better off if Blacks could not vote. All you need to do is look at the abomination we have in the President position right now. I just went through the exit polling from 2008 to make sure: Delete the Black vote and McCain wins both the popular and the electoral votes. No Obama abomination in that position. Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida would have gone to McCain instead of the current disaster we have in the White House.

For some reason State by State exit polling results are not available for 2012. But it's pretty clear from the overall results that even if Obama'd gotten by the first election without the Black vote he'd had no prayer of getting by the second one.

And it's not just Obama. It's the whole Democratic Party. It would be irrelevant on the national level without the Black vote. It's quite possible that if Blacks couldn't vote we would not have had a single Democrat President in my adult voting age lifetime nor would we have had a single majority Democrat Congress. And that, my friends, would have made this country a far better place.

It's not just that the Democratic Party is inclined to have a totally wrong headed view of the role of government to begin with. There's also the problem created by the fact that the Democratic Party KNOWS that in order to be relevant nationally it has to bend over and grab its ankles in order to make an ethnic group that makes up 13% of the population continue to vote for it at around the 90% level.

It's not a good thing at all. By the way, I've said this before but I'll say it again:

If you're White and you vote in a way that gives Democrats the edge on the national level you are an idiot. They're not focused on your interests. They depend on overwhelming support among Blacks and other minority groups to compete and they know it. You're a fool.

Ban Democrats, there's your answer.

[JohnStOnge]

[/quote]Ban Democrats, there's your answer.[/quote]

No, just if you're white use your head and don't vote to give them power on the national level. Do not vote for a Democrat to be President and do not vote for a Democrat to serve in either house of Congress. If it's a local election and you live in a State like Minnesota where there's hardly any non whites anyway feel free. Go ahead and vote for a Democrat. Democrats running for local or statewide election in Minnesota aren't depending on getting overwhelming support among non Whites in order to get elected so there's no reason to think that they won't be interested in serving your interests if you're White.

But if you vote in a way that gives Democrats power at the national level you're just not being prudent. You're really not. On a national level they DO depend on not only having the support of non Whites but in having OVERWHELMING support among non Whites. So they're going to be focused on serving the interests of non Whites and keeping them happy. It's pretty obvious.
