I saw that this morning. It was actually amazing it was not only Dedicated Dems., but Black Voters. Is the American Black Community finally sending a message direct back to President Obama?

I think they are ready for a change and asking themselves:

What has the DNC and the President done for me lately?

It's funny because there were dozens of threads just like this in 2008 and 2012 before he was elected and re-elected. Maybe Republicans should spend more time working on changing their agenda and campaign tactics than smearing the POTUS while he finishes his last term. On second thought, keep it up, you may as well just hand the Dems the 2016 presidential election. Just keep alienating groups of people and insulting everyone's intelligence...

People who voted for him in 2012 are too stupid to be alienated or insulted by something like this. They probably can't even read the article.

I guess we shall see, come Nov 4.

Reid, Biden and Obama---I can't believe that we have been stuck with this particular combination ee since 2008.....

Thanks for proving my point about Republicans. Insulting the majority of American voters isn't going to get votes.

How come they can't beat him? You said it yourself. All our talk of personal responsibility. Democrats appeal to people who don't value personal responsibility. The essential nature of humankind being selfish, that makes it easier for Democrats to win. Funnily enough, you're making Democrats look bad in your attempt to show how superior Democrats are.

Here's a question for you: exit polls showed that the majority of voters preferred the Republicans on the economy, unemployment, immigration, and foreign policy. When asked why they voted for Obama, the #1 answer was because they felt he was more in touch with them than Romney was. So with all the leftwingers talk of being the best choice for the common man, how come the only way you can get the common man to vote for you is to demonize your opponent personally? How come you lose on all the actual important issues?
Not at all. You should be embarrassed that even as your party won the election they lost on every single issue. Every one. When you win by calling your opponent an out-of-touch tax cheat rather than winning based on having the best handling of the nation's issues, you should be embarrassed.
If the outlook is so rosy then why are virtually all the predictions that the Democrats will lose seats in the upcoming election?
lol

How pointless.

First, do try and stay on topic and stop trying to deflect. To save you some time, let me make myself clear:

1. Every single thing I've said in my previous posts on this thread are absolutely true.

2. I am immune to your spin and propaganda, so just stop already. Talk about exit polls all you want, claim you won when you actually lost all you want; try and deflect and talk about Democratic Party voters all you want, I don't care, at all what any Republican thinks about any of those things.

3. Your party suffers from a fatal disease that will kill it if left untreated and you have scorned attempts by members of your own party to cure you. I will laugh watching the GOP's inevitable demise as a national political party as I doubt enough people in the party will be smart enough to take the cure.

4. You can deny #3 all you want, but I know it to be the truth and there's nothing you can do about it. You're finished. You're going to get clocked in the 2016 election. In the electoral college, the Democrats get to start on the 5 yard line and you don't have the defense to keep them out of the end zone.

5. I don't care if you win the midterms, I fully expect you to do so. The only elections the GOP can win are when the turnout is low (like in midterms and odd-year state-wide elections). When about 20%+ more people vote in 2016, you're going to lose the vote for the House, the White House and the Senate (you'll lose the WH race, lose the Senate--if you pick it up in a couple of weeks--and will only likely hold the House because you gerrymandered it to defy the will of the voters). The fact is quite simple, the more Americans vote, the more likely the vote is to be in favor of the Democratic Party. GOP strategists have been for years telling you that their goal has always been to drive down voter turnout, why won't you believe them?

Uh; IF the repubs have a lock on both houses, there's a real good chance that Obama could get impeached. That POTUS has made way too many enemies IMHO all the way round. When even Black people are pissed at him because he kisses illegal alien amnesty butt, then it's time to just hang it up.

Please, impeachment isnt going to happen. President Biden? Bwahahahah. And if you went for him too? President Boehner? The American people would go nuts. Republicans would demand dozens of laws, and once that occurred it would be the end of the Republican party no matter what they did.

I doubt any of the walkouts were spontaneous. Given this poisonous social climate that exists, I would not doubt if it was planned.

It's marked by denial of reality. In this case, the reality that Obama has been abandoned by a vast majority of his supporters. The only ones really left are the very few of you and the filthy rich. Who incidentally, continue to have their pockets lined by Obama while the rest of you wallow on welfare and part time jobs. I can however understand the filthy rich loving him more every day. After all, who would be pissed at a guy making you filthy filthy filthy rich? Anyway, I digress. Denial and Isolation allows us to block out words and ignore facts. It's a defense against shock. Hang in there buckaroo the next phase, anger, is on it's way.
You lost credibility and intelligence calling people obamabots in your first sentence. The rest is just dribble. If you really want people to take you seriously, then stop with the name calling. It doesn't make you look good
