Tim Scott wins US Senate race and is 1st black to win statewide in SC since Reconstru

Re: Tim Scott wins US Senate race and is 1st black to win statewide in SC since Recon

All the excitement that republicans have over two black senators shows how far behind they are with the rest of the country.

WELCOME TO THE 21ST CENTURY !!!!!!

There have been nine African Americans elected to the U.S. Senate and four of them have been Republican. You can't get much more even than that.
 
Re: Tim Scott wins US Senate race and is 1st black to win statewide in SC since Recon

sorry but you seem to have lost track here.......this is about a black woman being elected.

its time the democrats put away their WAR declarations........which have been proven to be false.

I'm glad to hear that the GOP now supports women's reproductive rights.

In May 1874, Joseph Rainey became the first African American to preside over the House of Representatives as Speaker pro tempore.

Geraldine Ferraro was 30 years ago.

That's who Thor meant. In his world, Ferraro was an idiot.

But that's genius in the liberal world, who could he have meant?
 
Re: Tim Scott wins US Senate race and is 1st black to win statewide in SC since Recon

do you prefer colored or non colored ones?

Colored, of course. I like to blow a little boogie into them.
 
Re: Tim Scott wins US Senate race and is 1st black to win statewide in SC since Recon

You know I am referring to Palin. That gimmick was to attract disaffected Clinton supporters.

And the breast gimmick in 1984 was to try to attract women voters so Mondale had even a sporting chance against Reagan. Interesting how that works.

I'm sorry, but this is a false equivalency. Ferraro was much more qualified. She had a clue about what she was talking about at least. She wasn't great, but she wasn't an idiot.

She was a junior Congresswoman from Queens. Palin was a governor. Ferraro was not "much more qualified". And she was smart, not arguing that. But nominating Ferraro was a gimmick. Are you seriously trying to dispute that? You think she was the most qualified person in the USA in 1984 to be VP?

Palin was the Governor of Sacramento. :lol: (Population size)

Palin couldn't name one publication she read.

None of that has anything to do with the fact that nominating Ferraro because of her breasts was a gimmick. The Democrats did it almost 25 years before the Republicans did it.

Being a woman was part of it, sure. It wasn't the only thing that qualified her.

A Congresswoman from Queens who served 5 years. What were her other great qualifications?

By the way, in case you don't remember, Mondale admitted he selected her because she was a woman. He was trailing so badly in the polls that he needed to make a splash. And he said that America lagged behind the rest of the world in elevating women to leadership roles. It was a gimmick, and Mondale made no secret of it.

As evidenced by the plethora of women the Democrats have run as President and vice-president since then.

Wait, how long did Obama serve on his term before being elected? I mean, most of America thought that was enough after all..

Did Mondale win? In the end it didn't help him either.
 
Re: Tim Scott wins US Senate race and is 1st black to win statewide in SC since Recon

As I've pointed out, I'm not hung up on race like y'all are. Why aren't you celebrating the election of the first black senator from a southern state in 140 years? Was the spanking really that bad??

Apparently you are. He is not the first black senator of either party. So why are we celebrating? Also, I not too excited about him because I AM A DEMOCRAT. How come conservative blacks wasn't excited when Obama (The first black President of either party) was elected?


This should debunk this myth that black people will always vote for black politician no matter what right?

So why are you guys so excited about them? It feel like the old "Hey I got a black friend" thing.
