“THIS is the best Romney haters can do?”

You have to remember that these people have nothing else left. Their candidate is polling at 3% in key states (!), with zero chance of winning so all they have is to spread DNC planted MSM attack articles. At least it makes them feel better so we should understand them. Substantive criticism requires skills not necessary available among rapid MDS-sufferers. It is much easier to repeat DNC stories or to shout short slogans (GO XXX!). It is sad but true. Their candidate has a great message, but the messenger is wrong.
I might be pretty frustrated myself if my favorite candidate would be polling at 3% (ok 5% in Iowa, 2.8% in NH).

DNC/MSM attacks are clear proof that they are afraid of Romney. It is a pretty good news.

I was a naive college kid thirty years ago when Bill Brock, a native of my home state of Tennessee, became GOP chairman. One of his first initiatives was to launch a campaign to win the black vote for the Republicans. I saw him on one of the sunday talk shows explaining his plan, and on paper it seemed to make all the sense in the world.

Brock noted that Republicans had voted for the civil rights laws in the sixties in greater numbers than Democrats. He said that it was Republican Earl Warren who handed down the Brown ruling. It was Republican Eisenhower who sent in the troops to integrate Little Rock schools. Brock added that most blacks were pro-life and supported school prayer. At the time, Republicans were getting about 10% of the black vote. Brock hoped to boost those numbers to 25% within ten years and even claimed that the GOP could win the majority of the black vote eventually.

Guess what? Thirty years later we still get 10% of the black vote.

Back in the sixties, Everett Dirksen, the GOP Senate leader, pushed incesssantly for civil rights legislation. A majority of GOP senators voted for every civil rights initiative of the decade. At the end of the decade, they still got 10% of the black vote.

George Romney may or may not have actually marched with Martin Luther King, but he certainly allied himself with King and the Civil Rights movement. Romney even supported idiocies like forced busing and a wildly over-the-top plan to forcibly integrate suburbs by requiring race quotas in every neighborhood (Nixon stopped that one). At the end of Romney’s years as Michigan governor, Michigan blacks still voted 90% for the Democrats and turned Detroit into a one-party Democrat kingdom that dominates the state with stolen ‘Rat votes.

The idea that the Democrats are in a panic mode and fear that blacks will defect to Romney because his daddy supported civil rights laws 45 years ago is ludicrous.
