Cheney rally lures few African-Americans
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

See, we don't need to go see Dick to be told to "fuck off". :D

Amber must be related to J.C. Watts :D


In a sea of red, white and blue Bush/Cheney signs and confetti shot from two air cannons, another color stood out Monday afternoon at Vice President Dick Cheney's rally at Clermont County Airport: white skin.
Of an estimated crowd of 2,500 supporters, an informal survey of the audience found six people who were not white.

Amber Coogan, a 22-year-old African-American from Silverton, is a Bush volunteer who works to register voters and campaign for Bush on a phone bank.

"He's a people person," she said, with whom she agrees on abortion and handling of the economy.

Her mother lost a $32-an-hour job at General Electric during President Clinton's administration, and now GE is hiring, she said.

Plus, "I feel safer with (Bush) in office."

5. B/C got about 8% of the African American vote the last time.
If my math is correct 8% of 2,500 is 200. Looks like they're falling just a little short. :shrug:

7. 8%
As an African-American, when they say that Gore won 90% of the black votes in 2000, I ask, what's wrong with the other 10%.

I literally do not know a single black person who would even entertain voting for *, much less pulling the trigger, and I have friends and family East Coast to West and everywhere in between!

8. After Florida 2000
the chimp will be lucky if he gets a dozen votes from African Americans. Other than the usual suspects - Condi, Colin, Alan Keyes, Rod Paige -- who the hell is going to vote for him?
