Not when compared to the total number of votes and when taken in comparison to the overall percentages of the election outcome. Nah.....just shows your racist spouting off is baseless.

I have an uncle just like you. He was the head of a department at a college. Uses the same fallacies you do, and never really contributed to society once he got his degree and started teaching.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Nothing but hatred for the educated, huh?

Tell you what, look up the meaning to "pot calling the kettle black" and then come back little boy.

Also....you are drawing an assumption that 100% of that 5% difference is because of skin color. Do you have any basis for this? I could just as easily spout off that this 5% are the ones who were scared into voting for GWB because of the manipulation of intelligence and propoganda that lead voters to mistakenly believe that a vote for anyone other than GWB would result in another terrorist attack.

See....its easy to come up with reasons....

BS...so all of those same black voters that only voted for Barack Obama because of his skin color, voted for Bill Clinton, Al Gore, John Kerry, etc...because of their skin color? Or did they vote for them for some other reason. I'll anxiously await your answer. This should be good......

Blacks generally vote Democrat. We've had black Republicans running for President before, but most haven't been successful. Because Obama was a Democrat and got to be the Democratic candidate, he became the messiah to many minorities, but especially to blacks. I don't see anything that unusual about this happening. I believe blacks stick together better than whites do.

I think many white Democrats voted for Obama because he was black as well. Mostly the whites voted for him because he was a Democrat. A lot of blacks IMHO probably wouldn't have bothered to vote, but because there was a man of color running, this was a huge happening for them. Why would it not be?

I know not every black in the country voted for Obama, but a whole lot of them did. There are probably stats on all this stuff somewhere.

Jon Stewart said last night, that despite that Christian fundamentalists are saying that the Mormon Church doesn't consider blacks equal, that doesn't mean that Romney will try to screw blacks because of his religion..........he'll screw blacks because he is a Republican!

The statistics say otherwise. Obama didn't get much more of the black vote than every Democratic candidate before him. Why in the world, then would you try to argue that they only voted for him because of his skin color? That simply makes ZERO sense.

Once again, Jon Stewart boils it down to the basics and is absolutely correct. The man is a genius.

Perhaps its because they recognize that the GOP has become a right-wing party that promotes the wealthy interests over middle and working class Americans. Perhaps its because they recognize that the GOP favors the corporation over the people....I dunno....maybe its because they recognize that a party with an agenda that seeks to turn back civil rights legislation is not a party that they want to vote for. Nah.....according to you....its none of those things....its because he is (in a whispered voice)....Black.

First of all without Republicans there would be no civil rights act.....People like KKK Byrd democrat and other cracker democrats like Al Gore Sr. opposed it......

I can't believe how angry democrats get.....I belong to a chat forum in Seattle and am much more of a moderate here........The Liberal posters are like you......They never address the subject of a thread, just attack the OP just like you do.........They also follow me around from thread to thread just like you do........Conservatives are not perfect, far from it but we are angel compared to the left.........

I LOVE how people of your ilk love to point to an asshole like Byrd and claim that the Democratic party is just like the Republicans because of people like him. The reality is, the Democratic party is much more supportive of civil rights, minority rights, gay rights, etc, than Republicans. Why then are you people so surprized when blacks and other minorities vote overwhelmingly for the Democratic candidates. Let me give you and your crew a clue.....start supporting the rights of minorities, start promoting policies that favor the middle and working class, not just the wealthy....and perhaps, you'll give a few more of their votes. Try running a black candidate and I think you will see that it isn't the skin color that they are voting for. But it will be a cold day in hell before the GOP ever nominates a person of color....just look at how many persons of color in the senate and congress are Republicans....that should be a good place to start.

Ahhhhhh....did you see Stewart last night on Romney? He was pretty much attacking the left AND right on their treatment of Romney's mormonism.....you might want to actually educate yourself before you open your mouth. Unless, that's too much too ask.

One of the funniest things in his commentary last night is how the press loves to ask all of these wacko mormon questions about Romney, but they say nothing about Harry Reid...it was classic Stewart. But of course...you believe that he is a leftist that only attacks the right......riiiiiiiiight!

You are pretty bad at reading thoughts and motivation.

Just admit you believe that someone with a PhD is always smarter than someone without it, that everyone with a high level degree is intellecutally superior to those without one, that not one single person with a high level degree can be a fool or moron... it is pretty obvious that is your line of thinking.

NP....a Democratic controlled Congress and a Democratic President signed it into law. It was based on region not party. Southern Republicans voted against the Civil Rights act as well.

Is it now? Do you realize in all seriousness the fool you've made of yourself by taking something I said facetiously as serious even after I had said I didn't really support such movement and even Navy Pride pointed out to you that I wasn't being serious? Maybe if instead of getting on your high horse about educated people, you could have taken the time to read a bit more carefully and figured out that this whole thing has been in jest and you look like quite the irrational fool for having been caught up in something clearly designated as not serious.

You mad bro?

Obviously thats more true than I had thought...Admittedly a couple of months ago I was voting republican...then I wasnt sure...now Im still not positive but im leaning more and more to Obama...because of the teaparty far right and Paul Ryan types.

from the above NY Times Article:

...Like an analysis earlier this year by the Pew Research Center, the latest findings were drawn from census surveys and interviews.

“In 2008 we obviously had a historic candidacy,” said Paul Taylor, executive vice president of the Pew center. “That’s certainly a plausible explanation for the spike in African-American turnout. The question was, Would other minorities vote for this minority? Not only did he get a big vote, but he got a big turnout.”...

It's too soon for me to tell. If either of the front runners don't appeal to me soon I may end up voting Libertarian.
