Newt Gingrich to launch presidential bid Wednesday

Which makes me wonder why blacks still vote Democrat. The Democrats have been working against them for decades, now.

It seems to me that many Blacks are beginning to recognize this as well. They can see the lack of progress made for them by the Democrats and their overuse, and the paternalism, of race politics.

Evidently, they are not as susceptable to GOP BS as the conservatives think they are! :sun
 
Wow! You really feel a certain group of people should not be allowed to vote however they wish? My suggesting to you then: Get The Hell Out of the USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a dumb and racist post:3oops::(:roll:

By that it's equally as racist to suggest that anyone that opposes Obama, is because he's black. Ain't that right?

Nothing in the black community will change until blacks realize that only they can help themselves. The day that happens, the Liberals will be **** out of luck, politically.

And, life for your average black person will improve exponentially, when they cease being susceptable to Liberal do-gooder bull****, too.

I think that's happening though. It's happening, little by little, with native groups here as well. Guys like Bill Cosby speaking out are doing a lot of good.
We can see what happens when people get accustomed to government handouts and yet there are still those who think its a good thing. People helping themselves, and each other, is always the best.

Perfect example of the GOP BS that minorities do not buy. :sun
 
What a racist thing to say.. Ever occur to you they voted for someone because they thought they were the best pick? Nah. Guess your too simple minded and/or racist for that.

Hispanics don't vote this way. Nor do whites, Asians, middle easterners, Jews, whites, etc.

Easy on the racism charge, chief. Only the simple-minded can only see things in such a way.
 
With one party overwhelmingly working against the interests of those groups for decades, I am surprised at your expectation.

So why don't Hispanics or Asians do the same?

Democrats strive with all their might to keep the black community clinging to the days of slavery. In fact, the Democratic Party might be the most racist organization with power today, because they go completely out of their way to make sure blacks are made to feel inferior.
 
Although Newt is a nice guy he has not charisma like Obama or Palin, therefore he can not win. Maybe Cain and Palin together have better chance to hit Obama.

I'm pretty sure the Democrats carried the Hispanics in the last presidential election, don't know for sure about Asians, but give the GOP a little more time and I'm sure they will piss them off as well.

LOL! Just continue to make statements like that and I'm sure you will turn the tide! :sun

No group, none, vote in lock-step like that. It's not about "carrying" a group. You shouldn't be able to get 95 percent of people to agree on anything politically. Hispanics don't even vote for Hispanic candidates with that big of a margin.

This is why Democrats just take them for granted. They could run a rented mule, and it'd win.

I doubt either Bush won on the charisma quotient.

Perhaps the American people would prefer good government instead. If they want to go Hollywood then they should expect more of the same.

GOP: The Party Of Exclusion



"It's embarrassing that in the same week our nation unveils a memorial to civil rights legend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., one of our major political parties aligns itself with the Old South by giving Sen. Trent Lott of Mississippi a leadership position. Lott's supporters are quick to explain that hewon the battle for minority whip—the Republican Party's second highest post—because of his incomparable deal-making skills and knowledge of the inner workings of Capitol Hill. No matter; to most Americans Lott is known only for racist remarks he made in 2002 suggesting the nation would be better off if segregation were still legal. And the party's choice to bring Lott back to the national stage suggests they're not so bothered about the fact that he's considered a racist.

The Lott comeback combined with Republican dirty tricks during the recent election make me wonder whether the party's national leadership gives a damn if it is perceived as racist. After all, the 2006 campaign season featured numerous reports of Republican efforts to deceive voters into not voting at all or voting for the Republican candidate—cementing the Republican Party's reputation as the party that works hard to limit your right to vote. Especially if you're black or Latino. The GOP's aim to suppress the African-American vote has been an article of faith for decades, capped off with the 2000 election debacle in Florida and the unequal distribution of voting machines in Ohio in 2004. This year, Latino voters in Colorado and California were targeted by voter suppression efforts. Yet, I heard not a single high-profile Republican stand up and denounce these undemocratic activities. The Republican Party has a monopoly on campaign-season dirty tricks designed to suppress the vote of people of color. Where are the moderate Republicans, the "big-tent" Republicans, trying to change this reputation?

There has been one Republican voice of protest on the Lott issue that I know of. Jonah Goldberg spoke out against Lott's victory in today's Los Angeles Times, to his credit. Though Goldberg questioned Lott's reputation as a racist, hard to do given Lott's history, he wisely asked of the whole affair: "What are those senators smoking?"

Minority voters, particularly African-American and Latino voters, already view the Republican Party with suspicion. With its Dirty Campaign of 2006 and coronation of Trent Lott, the GOP just gave Americans who believe in a multicultural and tolerant nation two more reasons not to join it."

Trent Lott "suggested"?

This from a party with members in the KKK, and the last one just kicked off recently?

Yeah, that's right. Most of them are waiting for the Libbos to deliver the big payoff...that's never going to come.

That's why I got off my ass and went and got mine vice waiting for the gubmint to give it to me.

Insulting the people you want to vote for your party is a brilliant plan! Keep up the good work! :sun

That's why blacks love Dems. the Dems spoon feed them and give them a lot of benefits and Obama believes in retribution big time and he hopes to get their vote next time.

And everyone knows the benefits should remain with the rich right? Yes, the GOP's class war against the working class is a much better plan to draw them to your party! :sun

remember when barack the slasher asked americans to rat out their neighbors for expressing fishy thoughts

http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/Facts-Are-Stubborn-Things/

how bout the time he essentially told americans who disagree with him to shut up

YouTube - Obama: I don't want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking

and don't forget the day he said half of america, the overwhelming winners of the last election, by the way, don't think for themselves

RealClearPolitics - Video - Obama: Republicans "Do What They're Told"

guns and bibles, anyone?

Facts Are Stubborn Things | The White House

No, I don't remember that, and your link is about: "UPDATE: As part of our effort to push back on the misinformation about health insurance reform, we've launched WhiteHouse.gov/realitycheck. It's full of videos and tools you can use to share the facts with your friends and family. Check it out. "

YouTube - Obama: I don't want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking

Another figment of your very fertile imagination. He doesn't tell anyone to shut up in your video. He is talking about not listening to the leaders that created our recession.

and don't forget the day he said half of america, the overwhelming winners of the last election, by the way, don't think for themselves

RealClearPolitics - Video - Obama: Republicans "Do What They're Told"


LOL! He was making fun of both parties there. If you don't think there are things about both parties that should be made fun of, you do not have a sense of humor! :sun
 
"if you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag at whitehouse.gov."

he's gonna make a list

"i don't want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking, i want them to get out of the way so we clean up the mess"

too bad the voters sent the messcats back to washington in record numbers

"democrats, y'all think for yourselves"

"the other side, they just kind of do what they’re told"

well, that's flattering

LOL!

guns and bibles, anyone?
 
Whats Newt up to?

Its all in the name.

With a little added punctuation.

Newt, G'ing Rich.

At least the rich EARN their money and this country would crumble if it wasn't for the rich who get screwed by paying for all their spending sprees.

I am tired of people talking about the rich as if they were anti- American or the enemy. These people worked their behinds to go to school and become somebody. Lazy people want something for nothing by siting on their hands and expect the government to support them for life if possible.

Lazy people should get off their behinds and make something of themselves that way they don't have to depend on nobody but that's why we have democrat politicians so they can support them.

Punish the rich should be the democrat's logo.
