I don't know of a single conservative who gives 2 sheets that Romney lost. We hated him just a little less than we hate 0bama.
As far as black, when 93% of them vote for a candidate without having the vaguest idea who he is and what he stands for.........well, you do the math. It's not rocket science.
Dumb people vote for dumb candidates. That's why we are where we are.
And it's not gonna get any better until America comes to its senses.
I'm not sure if you're smart enough to know that's not true. I have a feeling not.
every race color and creed voted for Obama...
you make it sound like there were 8 legit candidates on the ticket. People picked what the believed was the lesser of 2 evils.
Actually, I know Blacks can think for themselves. And I think some African-Americans might look at it from this perspective: What incentive to we have to vote Republican, especially after adopting the Southern Strategy?
Why would you think they have adopted the southern strategy? Is it because you cannot discuss the issues so instead throw false claims of racism?
Southern strategy is another made up buzzword. Just another rhetorical talking head phrase that makes people sound smart when in fact it exposes their ignorance.

By the way, which "Big Government Policies" are you talking about? Some were actually beneficial to Blacks.
Which ones have worked?
Maybe the Civil Rights Act that came after the tide had been turned by we the people and reversed the racist government policies. Of course that went to far when it invaded private property rights which increased resentment.
The War on Drugs? I hope that isn't one you are saying helps. Blacks are unfairly targeted.
Bailouts? Nope
Policemen of the World? Nope
Running the economy? Nope
Allowing illegals and anchor babies to become citizens? Which race of people is being hurt more by day labors coming across the border?
As a matter of fact blacks have been hurt more by the horrible policies in place. Look at the unemployment rate for blacks. If I was in the klan, looking at the big picture, I'd love it that Obama was President.
I know quite a few conservatives who are upset that Mitt Romney lost. I should know because I was on facebook the night of the election, and I saw alot of people who were upset about the results.
Romney was no where near conservative. If you knew what a conservative was and discussed policy with those people, you'd know the answer already. Someone can call themselves anything they want, it doesn't make it so. Their actions speak for themselves. Not how they define themselves, not their race, not their sex, only ones actions defines the individual.

Because dems constantly play the race card. From wanting someone light skinned with no negro dialect to quotas. It's about race with them too often. They can't discuss their failed policies so they have to deflect and falsely play the race card.

I'll be waiting to hear what racist rhetoric was used by the republican candidates during the presidential run. I followed closely and didn't hear it.
As a matter of fact the only person to call for the end to a racist policy was a republican, Ron Paul, who called for the war on drugs to end.

I don't give a damn about what Conservatives think at this point. Hell, come to think of it, i never did care. If they think i'm dumb because of my politics, that's their problem. So long as they leave me alone and stay out of my way, i couldn't care less.

You really think the Southern Strategy is false? You need to read The Emerging Republican Majority by Kevin Phillips.

It took some part on the government to help this. It helped alot.

The Black unemployment rate is often higher than anyone else no matter who is president.

We were not talking about Ron Paul. Ron Paul is more Libertarian than anything. Further more, go look at the comments Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich have made, basically talking to Black people as if they were idiots or something.

Wrong. They did adopt the self destructive Southern policy. While it helped Nixon, it also helped Obama win 2 terms, and is the sole reason the tp exists and Harry Reid remains majority leader.
