Romney's 'Zero-Percenters' (CLARENCE THE CROSS-EYED PAGE ALERT)
Chicago Tribune ^ | Aug 26, 2012 | Clarence Page cpage@tribune.com

A new poll suggests that Mitt Romney may achieve the nearly impossible: He may receive even less than the tiny 4 percent of the black vote that Sen. John McCain won four years ago.

President Barack Obama holds a four-point lead over his Republican challenger Mitt Romney in an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released in the final week before the Republican National Convention.

What caught my eye were the numbers reported in key segments of Obama's political base: He led among African Americans "by 94 percent to 0 percent." Say what?

No, that was not a misprint. The poll showed Romney getting zero black support. Nada. Zilch. Bupkis.

Clarence inadvetantly implies that blacks are as enslved to the democrats even more tha they were before the Civil War, during Reconstruction, though the Jim Crow and Great Society Eras right into today's quasi-welfare state. I guess that would explaing a guy like Rep John Lewis becoming such a goosestepping party man after his fellow democrats beat the crap out of him in Birmingham - Stockholm Syndrome, apparently.

No question about it.
94% of blacks are racists.

Who knew?

It’s even worse in Chicago where 123% of blacks will vote for the Kenyan, only a bit down from last time.

I would think Clarence would be more concerned with Chicago's murder rate and the lack of jobs for inner-city Blacks.

So, are blacks just racist or are they economic illiterates?

Blacks who are voting for Romney aren’t going to tell pollsters about it. Therefore, the 10%+ of the black vote Romney will end up getting is going to come as a great shock to the MSM know-it-alls. :)

Herman Cain was asked about this on FNC earlier today. He’s part of the zero percent...but doesn’t believe the poll for a minute. He talks to a lot of African Americans who are not supporting Obama.

The quote should be “Never before have black Americans been so out-of-touch with the rest of America”.

Romney's 'Zero-Percenters

Well we do know that there are some blacks, (i.e. Sowell, Cain, West...etc) who will vote for Romney, so it isn't "Nada...Zilch...Bupkis" as Page claims.

And we also know that when it comes to the Constitution, the real absolute zero (a.k.a nada, zilch, bupkis) is Zero.

You really think that 4% that voted for McCain against Obama is going to switch or stay home this time?

This article is pathetic even by MSM standards for propaganda.
