So they're like everyone else. Did you know that white welfare recipients are the same politically as non welfare whites? No one WANTS to be on welfare.
I have no idea. I am not a racist. This is not a race issue.

I'm highly skeptical of polls that contradict the poll we just took in November 2010. The message of that election was clear as a bell. There's simply no way voters have changed their minds all of the sudden. Three months ago, the deficit was the biggest issue, but voters don't want spending cuts? I'm sorry, but I call bullshit.

79% of welfare junkies say the best way to deal with deficit is to raise taxes on those with income over a million dollars... That's pretty accurate??  Young and black voters will be back in 2012... |

I got news for Democrats. Don't look for the great black bailout in 2012. If you think Obama can support gay marriage and still keep black voters, you're about to find out you're wrong. DOMA is a HUGE issue for black voters. I wouldn't be surprised to see black turnout down 15% to 20%. They aren't going to vote Republican, but they're about as enthusiastic for Obama right now as whites were for Dole in 1996. Mark my words...

They did not change their minds Paul... they just weren't saying what you hoped they were saying... i told you, this was not the mandate you hoped it was... it was get your government hands off my medicare... it was... hey YOU cut stuff... but give me my money... I'm not pro or con the situation (any glee you detect is not for the outcomes, just in the fact that liked to be right  ... ) |

It's a good thing the African American vote isn't a one issue block of voters.  And California's tidal shift regarding prop 8 points to an African American population that is becoming increasingly accepting to gay marriage. |
