Perhaps this is the biggest thing about Ferguson that has the Rats freaked out.

That blacks’ enthusiasm for Obama has peaked and while in general they still support him over Republicans, it’s not going to be enough to get them motivated to go vote.

Really? I am betting that if enough lovers of the Constitution...red, yellow, black and white got out and voted, it wouldn’t really matter what Obama’s base does.

Could make some difference in LA, AR, KY, GA, NC, and even MS (if there is a third party or strong write in effort).

And some areas of the rural South seem frozen in the 1960s.

It's possible, in some parts of the South, to imagine a time even before the Revolution.

Just for awhile anyway.

We have entered the era of tribal politics. Issues really don't matter. Minorities vote more than two to one Democrat. If they turnout, the Dems will win. If not, the the GOP has a shot.

Minority birthrates and immigration will make the Dems the permanent majority party. It is just a matter of time.

Are hoping a third party is deciding the election in favor of the rats? If so shame on you

This article totally misses the fact that Obama won in 2012 because of the LACK of enthusiasm and turnout for Romney.

No, they now know that he black vote WILL turnout as a result of this. Why do you think they are all over it? ODimwit is not the issue in this election. It’s a weird election. Be assured that minorities, especially blacks, will turn out in droves. You think they are gonna go “oh gee Obama isn’t as radical as I wanted to I’m sitting out”? Not a chance.

It’s also a matter of republican failures to enforce the immigration laws.

Which is why Ubama is whipping them up with Ferguson, Missouri.

The blame for that rests entirely on the shoulders of Romney, he was a poor candidate. 99.9% of the votes he got were votes "Against Obama". You cannot win an election that way.

Well, with all that’s going on in the world, as Chuck Hagel said, we end up with Obama making this shooting in Ferguson the big issue he speaks about. I mean come on. He even took time out of his vacation, his golf, and his fund raising. So I say scaring black Americans to keep them voting Democrat is very important to the DNC. Ten or twenty blacks die a day in Chicago to no acclaim, but this is the chance not to miss for the DNC. They must be very happy the lads gone.

Ya think!
This is why the left is promoting their anti cop agenda.

They have nothing to run on thus they use another Zimmermann case to get the blacks out otherwise the Dems know they are screwed.

Think they mean American blacks as they seem to forget that African Americans and Africans are white too.

Dem tactic.
We have nothing to run on so lets use the shooting in MO to get blacks outraged and let them think this is all about cops shooting innocent blacks .

Part goes to Romney.

Part goes to those that would rather have a Marxist as president than a Morman.
