What group vote democrat more than us blacks? Name one!

[ej510]

We are the most loyal and we are the base of the party. Plain and simple.

[FrenchieCat]

1. You entire headline reads like a train wrecki!

Never seen it put that way before....."us Blacks".

Kinda of takes credibility in what you are asking....because "us Blacks" don't really write like that.

[ej510]

2. I put it that way because I am tired of the blue collar

workers lie of them being the baee of the party.

[Cronus Protagonist]

19. Lots of blue collar workers are black

And they are surely the base of the party, whether black or not.

[GoldieAZ49]

3. every group that is opposed to the Republican agenda

good grief

[Cronus Protagonist]

4. Librarians

College graduates, government employees, college students and I'm sure there are hundreds more.

[cali]

11. really/ you have the data supporting your claim that librarians

college graduates, college students and gov't employees voted for Kerry in percentages equal to how the AA community voted? FAIL. MASSIVELY. Blacks voted 88% for Kerry. I don't know how librarians voted but I know that college grads did not go for kerry in those numbers and neither did young people. pullling shit out of... thin air just doesn't cut it, CroPro.

5. Yep, you were a reliable base until you threw

the first black President and his wife under the bus.

[Buzz Clik]

8. Nelson and Winnie Mandela?

I know you don't mean the Clintons because under-the-bus throwing was self inflicted.

[Saturday]

9. Actually Michelle inflicted it by reminding blacks to get in line. nt

[rucky]

17. and they just snapped to it. no questions asked.

is that your explanation of how Clintons support among blacks fell from 60% to 2%?

[cali]

10. disturbing that you think that way.

So because AA voters didn't vote for queen hilly they threw her under the bus? And grab a fuckin' clue, genius, Billy was not the first black president just because Toni Morrison said so.

[Saturday]

13. So now you're disputing that Bill was known as

the first black President? You are so defensive of Obama and hating the Clinton's it's incredible. They even asked Obama the question in a debate. Get a clue.

[RaleighNCDUer]

15. He's also known as the best Republican president in the past

50 years.

Go ahead. Lay claim to that one, too.

I dare you.

[cali]

16. I don't hate them. I don't think hilly's a repuke.

I don't think Bill was a bad president. I think they've run a piss poor campaign with an attendent lack of dignity and taken the low road on too many occasions. And no, I'm not defensive about Obama. I just don't like bullshit like your crap about how black voters have thrown the Clintons under the bus simply because they aren't supporting him. Clearly the nonsense about Bill being the first black president is ridiculous. Morrison has said it was said more in a light hearted joking manner than anything else. She's supporting Obama by the way. And you have no hope for grabbing a clue whatsoever, darlin'. The question was a joke. .

[Buzz Clik]

6. Here's one: the over-50, male, white, NPR-listeners in academe.

I'm serious.

We're not a huge voting bloc, but we do carry some influence. My Bob Marley poster and ANC flag in my office are the first clues to my students where I stand. Teaching my students how to think and analyze seals the deal. I don't even have to mention Obama's name: it's automatic.

[TexasObserver]

7. Agreed and it's not close.

Labor? They might deliver 65%.

Women? A little over half.

GLBT? A sizable minority are Republicans.

Hispanics? Two thirds on a good day.

Blacks are the most loyal voters in our party, far and away.

[Steely_Dan]

12. Unions....n/t

[Bensthename]

14. True, but others are loyal too.

Or unloyal. I am unloyal, I guess, to my conservative repulican parents.
I am a 33 white male, middle class that loves the democratic values and it's positive messge to people of the US and world. And I have many friends just like me.

[qijackie]

18. So what is your point?

I mean, original poster, what are you saying about the 2008 election?

[anonymous171]

20. The problem is that blacks are TOO loyal.

Just like educated liberals.

[rockymountaindem]

21. Jews n/t

[suston96]

22. What group? Look over your shoulder....Hispanics are gaining on you....aw shucks...

....they like Hillary. Never mind.

[ej510]

23. Actually a good portion of latinos vote rpublican and there are

alot of them in central california. I'm talking about conservative latinos. They listen to Limbaugh, Hannity, and O'Reilly.

[suston96]

27. Actually, that is changing and a good portion are voting Democrat and for Hillary Clinton. nt

[Zynx]

24. And your point is?

This party is a coalition. No single group is or should be dominant.

[Mezzo]

25. umm....women. nt

[DevonRex]

26. There is NOT one. Any person who tries to claim otherwise

is simply trying to diminish the importance of African Americans to the democratic party. It won't work, but that doesn't mean they aren't trying.
