Liberals have done nothing but get black people addicted to welfare. Since LBJ's war on poverty, the black community has lost its rough individualistic spirit of the civil rights movement-conservative, people powered politics. This is not liberalism. It is conservatism. Obama has failed black Americans more than any other group & we trusted him more than any other group. Democrats used blacks, hispanics & any other group so they can take more of your tax money.

It takes a lot of courage to admit to other black people that you are a republican. There is always the stigma that you think you're white, and that you don't know where you came from. Ever since post-slavery, the government has been babysitting black America. This needs to stop. We need to pull ourselves up from our bootstraps and be independent. Blacks tend to be more fundamentally conservative. So there is no excuse for forced liberalism.

The whole video was talking about the shock value of telling other black people that they're Republican and not Democrat. I didn't get a lot of substance from this. I want to understand what about John McCain or Sarah Palin is appealing to Black people. For the sister that said voting for the Black man because he's Black is racist, I find it convenient for her to make that argument now. Is the sister who said she would vote for Obama if it was about race a racist? You and your mind.

@a999op All I have to say is let people vote for whomever they want to vote for.

[a999op]

@MegaGlennbeck Let people vote whatever they want to vote for.This is

America.

[a999op]

@MegaGlennbeck Or they could be against abortions, gay marriage, be very hardworking, hate foodstamp, very religious, and have strong family and moral values.

[2ndrowgod]

as a republican my damn self i thought and still do think that sarah palin is a fuckin joke. i think that colin powell should have ran in the last election. i would have not just voted for him but worked on his campaign. i would have done damn near anything to get that man into office

@HUMANSAREBENEATHME So if you are successful, run a company, work for a white boss, work for corporations you are automatically a greedy-yessaboss negro? But if you're still on drugs, poor, getting food stamps, struggle financially, demand people to give you money, you are more authentic?
