HAVANA (AP) - Fidel Castro says a "profound racism" in the United States will stop millions from voting for Barack Obama in next month's presidential election. The ailing, 82-year-old former Cuban president says it is "a miracle that the Democratic candidate hasn't suffered the same luck as (assassinated leaders) Martin Luther King, Malcolm X and others who harbored dreams of equality and justice."

You are right , it’s actually closer to 95% ....

"I don’t believe 90% of blacks are voting for Obama. They want you to believe that; but I don’t."

I've seen election after election in Philly where the black candidate gets not less than 97% of the black vote. Many will vote for Obama because they expect what every inner city black voter expects: the black man to remember his people, to lavish government benefits and invented government jobs on them, and they know they won't have to pay a dime for any of it. As for the rest, the first thing that comes to mind is Nagin's "chocolate city" remark: taking over, getting back at whitey, take your pick.

If the black vote in Philly is anything less than 99.5% for The Marxist I'll be stupefied.

99.5% of 105% is 104.48%. We're talkin' Philly here....

“How many communists is that for Obama now? Chavez, Putin, Castro, Davis...”

Might as well include Gaddafi in that list...

The MSM is accusing McCain/Palin of what Obama is inciting.

I detest the MSM — swear they are either from the radical 60’s or are sons and daughters of that radical anti-war crowd. They don’t seem to love America and believe in our Constitution and what we stand for as they would rather turn this Country over to a socialist!

He’s auditioning for a job on CNN Internacional.

[tioga]

Maybe he’s just being propped up, like the dead guy in “Weekend at Bernie’s?”

Somehow that sounds fitting. LOL

[freekitty]

I still don’t believe it.

Video (if available)of Castro and Rev. Wright mixed would be a powerfull message of Obama’s true ideology. “Not God Bless America..God Damn America” the add Castro’s fiery anti american rhetoric.

Yes DAMN us Americans for being Prefudiced agains COMMUNISM and TYRANY! God DAMN America for NOT embracing the FAILED ideals of COMMUNISM. THANK YOU SIR...THIS IS HIGH PRAISE FOR THE USA IN MY BOOK. Kind of like being hated by kook leftist groups...A BADGE OF HONOR! Display it Proudly.

I wonder how long if Castro will trot out Elian Gonzalez to denounce America and endorse OBAMA?

The expert on democracy and elections explains it all.

[Neu Pragmatist]

Believe it and don’t underestimate it . Not sure where you are at , but I’m seeing it first hand and I know they will turn out in numbers greater than they did for Klinton .

The Dims carry them as a reliable voting block , but this time there are far more that have registered to vote and will indeed turn out for B.O. ....

[freekitty]

But, are they all legitmate voters?

[freekitty]

And they don’t represent the entire population like they want you to believe.

[Neu Pragmatist]

No , but they have also increased their legitimate numbers and I have no doubt that they will turn out. They are one of the Dim party’s most reliable voting blocks , make no mistake .
The only thing that will offset this trend is if the so called “regular Joe” vote , that doesn’t usually vote ,turns out due to fear .

As it sits , the Dims GOTV effort is far outpacing ours this election cycle . The Dims have learned well from the past two successful Bush camapaigns . Couple that with voter fraud and we have our work cut out for us ....

[freekitty]

I agree.
