Are there no black Republicans in Florida?

[mplm21]

Lloyd Marcus (black) unhyphenated American wrote the American Tea Party Anthem, & 2010 Take Back America and he is a proud black conservative Florida registered republican that votes.

[kriccistarr]

Krystal Walker proud young black republican HERE lol

[therepublicanknight]

Im black, moved to florida in 2005, and I am a proud republican. Thank god Im republican. Call me whatever u want Im a republican and proud of it.

[vincevince801]

reality is GOP is not a minority frindly party.

the core supporters are racist bigots.

have you seen Palins campaign stop videos? that is the core of the republican party.

[pnscar3]

brevardpoliticaljournal(dot)or­g / jackman.htm check it out.

[veedub447]

LUV: Nathan Bedford Forrest was a Southern Democrat and founder of the KKK.

[LuvChaos]

I suggest you "Black Republicans" research Nathan Bedford Forrest and all the other racist shit that has been said and done by Republicans over the last 10 years. Or you can keep drinking the kool-aid and believing that they wouldn't bring slavery back in a heartbeat if they could. LOL

[Pooternackle]

Republicans got rid of slavery son. The Democrats were pro slavery.

[LuvChaos]

You can do better than that, Pooter. Lincoln may have signed the EP, but today's Republican Party is 100 times removed from the Lincoln days. Try addressing the fact that racism is prevalent in today's Republican party instead of spouting off a predictable talking point.

[Pooternackle]

thats why i would have been a democrat if i lived back then. Lincoln was a tyrant, some even call him a dictator.

[LuvChaos]

But you're still not addressing the issue at hand. The "Obama The Magic Negro" CD being circulated by the southern bigot who wants to lead the RNC drives my point home. That's the mindset of the Republican party today, and if they're not careful, they're going to wind up being a permanent minority party in this country. America will be even more racially diverse four years from now, and the Republicans are NOT likely to change anytime soon. They're speeding head first into irrelevance.

[Pooternackle]

The Democratic party/its predecessors have been around since the birth of our nation. It was nearly destroyed during the earlier years of reconstruction, but it never was. There is no doubt in my mind that the Republican party will disappear eventually. To take their place a more liberal party than the democrats will take office and the democrats will be labeled as the conservatives. Both parties will end up trying to "buy" african american votes, something the republicans (my party) have not.

[PlatinumGeist]

This is the truth.

However the 60s changed things, and all of the pro segregation people switched from Democrats to Republican. Between Nixon and Reagan Black people were totally alienated from the GOP.

The current GOP makes weak efforts to bring in Black people. Unless you count Michael Steele's "I got the fried chicken and potato salad" comment, which was embarrassing.

Until Black Republicans aren't seen as impotent by Black people, Black people won't vote Republican.

[LuvChaos]

I call them fools since the Republican party is racist to the core. Only a self-loathing boot licker would support a party with members who QUOTE KKK GRAND WIZARDS ON THE HOUSE FLOOR!

Quote: Nathan Bedford Forrest, successful Confederate general, said it best about winning and victory and the means to do so. He said, Git thar fustest with the mostest.

Rep. Ted Poe (R-TX)

That's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the Republican party. You negros are delusional. LOL

[JSharmaine]

I'm a young black Republican, female!

[carnage1295]

The left talks about being tolerant and nondiscriminatory. But when they see see a black republican they call him/her an uncle tom,house nigga,oreo,coon,uncle ruckus,and nigger general. And they are supposed to be tolerance. HA!!

[BYRDBODE]

I'm another black conservative, though i wanted Ron Paul. I know better then to pick a democrat how may campaign for my vote, but lose any interest once elected.

[Nightowl358]

I'm a black conservative in Clearwater, FL. I realize that the Left is not my friend. They throw minorities(namely blacks) bones, to ensure votes, that's about it. Plus, thanks to them, too many blacks have become dependant on government and believe that America owes them something and that they are entitled. These are the same blacks who piss away opportunities and then want to claim that they were ****ed over because of their skin color; I have zero respect for fellow blacks that do this.

[rhibac]

wtf is a black republican? lol

[yoshi3329]

Go Black Republicans!

[BlackFinanceTV]

fuck republicans and uncle tom blacks who support that party. I will never support that party. Obama or we will spill blood. Revolution!

[BYRDBODE]

The only uncle toms lay in the democratic party. Ask yourself what has a democrat ever done for black peope

[fhesi3]

Who is Alex Jones?

[jmack619]

we fight and kill and bomb and die and create generations of enemies halfway around the world -all in the name of (so called) democracy . THIS is our democracy ?? what a load of crap we are buying .

[picassolama]

Why in the hell are we being fed that Florida is the United States? It's not. Is it because many people retire and move to Florida? Does this mean the election is decided by the oldest members of society? Those who will have their social security taken care, and not be drafted into the next McCain war?

[skinnychef]

our elections are a sham

[thomast1986]

3rd world elections have winners with 100 percent of the vote and jimmy carter the worst president ever says they have a good system that america should follow. what a socialist asshole! The founding fathers would have most democrats executed for treason! and all college professors and public school teachers that romanticize socialism and communism and theres a fine line between them.

[stripedchair]

that's why I don't vote. I have a hands off policy when it comes to American politics. There's nothing more the elites would love than for the ignorant masses to play their game. Lends credibility to the sham

[UpTakeVideo]

If you don't vote, you lose your right to complain.

[stripedchair]

wrong

[UpTakeVideo]

OK... you can complain. But the credibility of your complaint is diminished.

[stripedchair]

Thanks for giving me the right to complain. Have a good day.

[stripedchair]

The reason why I'm not involved is because the system does not work! So how does that diminish my credibility? If you knew that something didn't work, would you keep using it? That's insanity. As far as I am concerned, getting involved in the system is what diminishes credibility because it shows a lack of thoughtfulness

[987765543]

Voting is more than filling out a ballot. For me it involves getting lots of other people to vote with me.  The system does not work but it is not incapable of being fixed.

[lazarocuba2001]

Our popular votes don't count!!!!But our money counts!!!

[thomast1986]

most blacks arent smart enough or educated enough to vote republican yet. if we can ge rid of the socialist government schools they would be educated enough but democraps cant have them that smart. they need them just dumb enough to think hillary and bill are the answer. If they are the answer what the hell is the question.

[DRockMonolith]

<----black

<----voted republican

Ron Paul.

[Devin1498]

Considering blacks make up a huge percentage of the poor and US citizens in prison, I'd say that "socialist government" favors them a little more than the libertarian "leave all KKK members to do what they want" version.

Perhaps they just saw Micheal Moore's Sicko, and were like 'oh, I had no idea socialism is't the spawn of Satan's ass crack. I think I'll have vote Democrat since I have a conscience"

[Visfen]

Do we want this election to be decided on Florida.

The Answer to that question is always: Fuck no.

[1DRock37167]

Oklahoma is NOT in the South!

[stripedchair]

ya it's considered to be part of the south

[boncrys]

sounds like bs to me

[vertigate]

The Kennedy endorsement came just one day before the FL primary. Obviously that was not enough time to sway all votes yet.

[CitizenWorm]

Oh fuck you. Seriously, fuck you. We need super delegates to make sure we don't "inadvertently" nominate an anti-war candidate!?! You fucking piece of shit asshole! Here you represent and laugh about everything that is wrong with our electoral system. If you haven't noticed the people want out of this war. If organizations like yours ("citizen journalism") actually reflected the interests of the voters we might still have some anti war candidates. I want to shoot fire into your ass by my typing.

[Argentumb]

dude, that was sarcasm. you'd know that if you understood the mcgovern comment. I think you are trying to shoot fire up someone ass who you agree with, only you don't get sarcasm, so you flame away.

[CitizenWorm]

No, I just don't think it's particularly funny that the Democratic leadership thinks they have the right, let alone the responsibility to save us from ourselves. It's this kind of snide bullshit that makes people think that it's somehow uncool to support a long shot who happens to actually align with their views. I'm sick of assholes trying to look cool at the expense of our democracy. It's NOT funny. Just like sarcasm about the Holocaust isn't fucking funny. Go eat a bag of dicks.

[dejahthoris]

Hillary will stop at nothing to win and no doubt has legal and political tools laid out to get the Fl and Mich delegates

[bigge525]

Guess that part that says FLORIDA REPUBLICANS

threw u off, huh? lol The last study I read

at school showed 17% of Republicans are

black, THE WHOLE COUNTRY. Everyone knows the

Reps are the party of the white and wealthy.

[chris7777777777777]

Ron Paul

[chris7777777777777]

OMG, whats the difference difference? McCain or Gulliani

[LuAnnPoovie]

Both Giuliani and McCain are outstanding men who hold nearly identical positions on Bush's successful war in Iraq, however, perhaps voters judged that McCain has more "fire in the belly," more passion, when he speaks about future engagements with the enemy which our nation might have to undertake if we are ever to be liberated from the Muslim threat.

[foley15136]

Do you really know a lot about "the enemy"? Do you have a lot of first hand knowledge?

Or do you get your opinion from Rush maybe?

[geargemartin]

do you really know a lot about "the enemy"? do you have a lot of first hand knowledge? or do you get your opinion from code pink.

[foley15136]

I have extensive knowledge. Do you?

[geargemartin]

yes

[foley15136]

Where did you serve? What branch of service were/are you in? You have me curious now.

[geargemartin]

30 years in the army. with more postings than i wish to recount. i'll tell you a few highlights, and as i don't feel required to present a resume' i'll be concise and will provide no details. during my career i've served in vietnam. also i served with nato, at the pentagon and my last posting before retirement was  with southern command. now you tell me your credentials.

[foley15136]

Began Gulf war, then 6 and a half years at CENTCOM, served in Germany, Balkans and five Middle Eastern counties (Iraq, Afghanistan of course), have seen combat and still enjoy part of a round in my shoulder. As well as 2 years at the Pentagon. I'm still an analyst. And now a civilian job, no secret spy stuff but still I won't say what. You'll certainly understand. So yeah I know "the enemy"

Not exactly an opinion from code pink. Wasn't talking to you anyway.

[geargemartin]

you weren't talking to me? my mistake. sorry. it showed up on my email. and naturally sense it was under my last posting i thought i would respond. and i agree no opinion from code pink in those credentials. my question then is, do you perceive a threat from the radical Islams? your response to luannpovvie would suggest otherwise.

[CodeRed001]

Radical Islam a threat? Have you ever read about the reasons they attacked us? They attack us because we've been over there. We've been bombing Iraq for 10 years. We need a non-intervention based foreign policy. We need to stop policing the world and expect positive outcomes and credibility. You served with NATO? NATO is a relic of the Cold War, a hold-over from another time, an anachronism. It should be disbanded, the sooner the better.

[geargemartin]

codepink001: your opinion is noted, considered, and rejected. you should learn the history of islamic jihadism. this movement didn't just spring up overnight. it festered and grew over a period of 60 years. to be concise and at the risk of over simplification, its primary goal is to create a worldwide caliphate. as to nato being a relic.. that just shows your ignorance.

[CodeRed001]

I was simply stating why they attack us.

There's always a radical element in almost all religions. They have to have an incentive. We give them that incentive. The Iraq war has become a successful recruitment incentive for Jihadists worldwide. Now were funding the war through China and NATO has been turned into an aggressive unconstitutional interventionist military force. When the Soviet Union ceased to exist NATO should have followed.

[geargemartin]

if radical islamic jihadist can't find an incentive they'll make one up. they would attack the west regardless of rhyme or reason. and if you think NATO is moot i suggest you speak to the baltic states and poland about growing interferences from a resurgent russia. ask those balkan states if nato was unnecessary to bring stability to the region. nato is far more relevant than you think.

[CodeRed001]

I would point out NATO's disaster in the Balkans. No peace had been attained, merely the cessation of hostilities and a permanent dependency on US foreign aid. The world's better without such a thing. I suppose we're going to have to agree to disagree and leave it at that.

[geargemartin]

...ok

[picassolama]

geargemartin said, "...its primary goal is to create a worldwide caliphate." Can you cite a reference to this goal? I have read Bin Laden's Fatwa statement of 1996, and the letter from al-Zawahiri to al-Zarqawi dated October 11, 2005. Both address expelling the crusaders from Islamic land, or the Land of the Two Holy Places...not the world. There is no mention of creating a world Caliphate. I agree they are a threat to Muslim countries, but not specifically to western held land. Please elaborate

[geargemartin]

bothal qaeda and hiz butt tahrir have both stated that their goal is to unite all 1.1 billion muslims into a single world wide caliphate. this area would encompass an area from sub-sahara africa to the balkins across the middle east, central Asia, the indian sub-continent, indonesia, malaysia, and the philippines. google jihad watch.

[Ithaxa]

mccain sucked dicks as a POW for food. War is great eh?

[CodeRed001]

Radical Islam a threat? Have you ever read about the reasons they attacked us? They attack us because we've been over there. We've been bombing Iraq for 10 years. We need a non-intervention based foreign policy. We need to stop policing the world and expect positive outcomes and credibility. You served with NATO? NATO is a relic of the Cold War, a hold-over from another time, an anachronism. It should be disbanded, the sooner the better.

[mfyyre]

What Muslin threat?

How can you honestly believe that anyone can be a threat to this country, where we spend $2 billion dollars daily on the greatest military in the world?

[geargemartin]

tell that to the victims of 911.

[Polytical]

Well, if you are worried about american casualties in the "war on muslims", then you should ask whether the US is safer today than in the year 2001. Whether your borders are secure and the kind of attack 9/11 was could not happen today.

[geargemartin]

we're still not safe. but we're safer. we do lack proper border security and that does bother me.

[principles101]

geargemartin...You say we're safer. Please go explore ronpaul2008(dot)com. That is SAFEST!

[geargemartin]

ron paul? who's he? i've never heard of him. wow thanks.

[jonathanwindham]

If that is partial sarcasm you are really smart and funny.

[Interminablespirt]

Black Republican in NY. Is that good enough?

[brawnymike]

I'm afraid you'll have to ask other Republicans if that makes you good enough.

[Interminablespirt]

Really witty. I was speaking about proximity, not worth. Don't be a jackass.

[alnewberry]

And people who want a statesman instead of a dictator voted for [ ]. Hey, wait a minute. I was sure I typed [  ]'s name in there.Stop the media blackout on Ron_Paul. There, it finally worked.

[chris7777777777777]

Ron Paul. Everything is fine. Are we trying to use the "dictator" scare tactic line?

[alnewberry]

I was kidding with the brackets, by the way. The fact that I actually typed his name whould have given that away. Get a sense of humor.

[CallMeNiel]

well, they did mention that McCain and Romney won both first and second choices, which kinda makes it a two man race...

[picassolama]

Why does Florida have the right to determine if it's a two, three, or four man race? Aren't we the United States? Have we looked at all the other states who have voted to see what their first and second choices were? Can we wait till more states decide before jumping off the cliff?

[zbrunch]

Earth to retard--Edwards dropped out.

Ron Paul has an ass-load of cash,tons of grassroots supporters yet Edwards is still considered a candidate and Paul is not...why do i even watch you guys? I might as well watch Fox or CNN.

Unsubscribing now.

[brawnymike]

Clearly, zbrunch, this video was shot before Edwards dropped out. (After all, the "road trip" started today.)

Your use of the epithet "retard" is inappropriate & immature, though, which I guess makes you just plain stupid (or, worse than that, invincibly ignorant).

[zbrunch]

you're right, it was inappropriate and immature.i just get fed up with the same old crap from the media. i don't know why i have come to expect more from "independent" sources like Veracifier here. I just hoped that since Paul(and Huckabee)have not quit the race and have a visible base of support that at least they would get equal time in the debates and a mention when listing the remaining candidates.

Go ahead and say top-tier or whatever, just don't lie and say there are only 2 GOP guys left.

[DamNationDiplomat]

Ron Paul hasn't got a monkey's chance on Mars of winning the election. I, too, would like to hear about the candidates with real convictions and a real message, but Paul's not a serious contender since he's barely getting double digits in the primaries at his highest level of support. Edwards gets screentime because he was a candidate for vice last time (and, probably, this time as well). At least they still let Paul in the debates; Gravel has been kept out since October, and gets 0 news time.

[jased30]

But ron paul is the only candidate who votes in favor of the constitution.

[mfyyre]

If I read your comment correctly... all you've manage to say is this:

"Only those who receive main stream media airtime have valid opinions?"

[DamNationDiplomat]

That reading is not an interpretation of my comment, it's pure spin. This particular report isn't about the validity of candidates' opinions, it's about the mathematics of their chances for victory, and Ron Paul's mathematical chances are negligible. I like listening to him speak, especially at the debates, and i think he and Gravel are the only genuine candidates left. That said, the math's not in their favour, and it's not entirely the MSM's fault people don't vote for genuine candidates.

[Ithaxa]

wtf are you talking about, a huge majority of it is the MSM's fault.

[DamNationDiplomat]

Both Gravel and Paul have extremist viewpoints, and, for better or worse (though, i'm leaning toward 'worse'), the average american voter wants someone who's slightly left of center on spending issues, and slightly right of center on social issues; Paul is far right on both and Gravel is far left. Even though anyone who's well-informed with half a brain is for one of them, that doesn't describe the greater public. The MSM gives people what they want, and what they want is the illusion of change.

[Polytical]

Well, I don't agree with the term "extremist", as you can't possibly put a constitutionalist to the political right. Today's American politics stray far from the right/left distinction. It's more of a global/domestic politics.

Regarding Mr. Paul, independent media should focus on all the candidates able to take a few percent of the frontrunner's count. If Romney lives through Tuesday, Paul and Huckabee could decide the race in the end.

In my opinion, let us hope so.

[picassolama]

With this type of approach you have placed Ronald Reagan in the far-left extremist position. His views on personal liberty, foreign policy, and economics favor Ron Paul's views. I have been a staunch viewer of the MSM for several years, before I knew of Ron Paul, and the treatment they have given him is typical manipulation of the masses to their agenda. The only reason Paul has been marginalized is because of his anti-war stance. Nothing more, nothing less.

[NeonKnight88]

Race is an imaginary construct
