Anybody care about the 'minority' supporting Romney?

[heliumclinton]

Like this

 

[shogun]

No. I don't care who anyone votes for. That's their business, not mine. Just because someone is a minority, that doesn't automatically make them a Democrat. People act like it's ok whenever Democrats are vocal about something but don't want Republicans to ever say anything.

 

[whyhellothere]

hope she got paid well for that

 

[toughmoney]

Dash is in minority? news to me

 

[Mark Antony]

Minorities and poor people shouldn't just give your vote away to democrats, it's not like they wholly value your vote anyways. But still, I think you look pretty silly as either and a republican. That's just me though.

 

[heliumclinton]

Dash is in minority? news to me

Black and Latinos are considered the minority right?

 

[futuremd]

I don't care.

I know quite a few black republicans. Its rare, but many of them support the ideas of fiscal conservatism rather than social conservatism. 

 

[ninjahood]

bingo.

hence why i wish libertarianism was a serious 3rd option.

 

[jhawk826]

Said this on Twitter and will say it here, it doesn't matter who she endorses. The person who she votes for is none of our business. Just because she's black doesn't mean she has to blindly support the Democratic Party. Personally, celebrities shouldn't openly endorse politicians but that's for another conversation.

 

[futuremd]

Dame Dash (cousin) wouldn't be happy though. 

 

[jjs07]

Who cares? Honestly? You should support who can benefit YOU.

For as many minorities that you are appalled at for supporting Romney, there are probably just as many minorities out there who are supporting Obama for no other reason than his skin color.

 

[nationaltruckerdave]

Team Romney we winning

 

[Peep Game]

Where's Pig Love to not make sense of all this?

 

[lakersusctrojan]

So you're assuming that if you're a minority, you can't vote Romney? Vote for the platform you believe in, regardless of race.

 

[swendro]

So you're assuming that if you're a minority, you can't vote Romney? Vote for the platform you believe in, regardless of race.

Even if that party has been trying to limit the minority vote?

 

[DPancakes]

Voting for a guy that changes his position more than a prostitute? No thanks.

 

[futuremd]

Like I said, I don't have a problem with people making their own decisions but...

She did playboy...but doesn't understand that Romney wants to get rid of pornography and has said so quite a few times. 

Also, I find it hard to align myself with a group of people who align themselves with people who CONSTANTLY say stuff like this (also, don't forget that people VOTE for these people to be in office). I try not to be a party shill, and there are some ideas on all fronts and in all contexts that I think are reasonable, but the Republican Party of 2012...you've got to be kidding me. Miss me with the "all parties at the same" nonsense. There is a clear and well established pattern here. 

http://www.thedailydolt.com/2012/10/06/arkansas-republican-slavery-was-a-blessing-for-black-people/
[h1]Arkansas Republican: Slavery Was a Blessing For Black People[/h1]
Now Arkansas, you didn’t think we forgot about you, did you? We know, sometimes it’s hard to compete in the news cycle, what with Minnesota Republicanscampaigning in liberal synagogues on Yom Kippur andTexas Representatives  telling Pakistani-American law students to go back to Afghanistan.

But guess what, Arkansas? Today is your day!! Because one of your state representatives, Jon Hubbard (R-Jonesboro), has written a veritable treasure trove  of derp-nuggets. And then after Hubbard wrote all those derp-nuggets, he set them down, took a deep breath, read them over again with a clear head, and decided “yes, this is exactlywhat I want to say; this is brilliant,” and then he sent them off to a publisher, had them bound into a book, and began selling it on Amazon. It’s called have a look!

Derp Nugget #1:  Slavery was actually a blessing for black people.

“… the institution of slavery that the black race has long believed to be an abomination upon its people may actually have been a blessing in disguise. The blacks who could endure those conditions and circumstances would someday be rewarded with citizenship in the greatest nation ever established upon the face of the Earth.” (Pages 183-89)

Derp Nugget #2:  Wouldn’t it be great if black people stopped being so ignorant all the time?

“Wouldn’t life for blacks in America today be more enjoyable and successful if they would only learn to appreciate the value of a good education?” (Page 184)

Derp Nugget #3:  Integration made white people dumber and lazier.

“… one of the stated purposes of school integration was to bring black students up to a level close to that of white students. But, to the great disappointment of everyone, the results of this theory worked exactly in reverse of its intended purpose, and instead of black students rising to the educational levels previously attained by white students, the white students dropped to the level of black students. To make matters worse the lack of discipline and ambition of black students soon became shared by their white classmates, and our educational system has been in a steady decline ever since.” (Page 27)

Derp Nugget #4:  If only black people would be more inclusive and contribute to society.

“… will it ever become possible for black people in the United States of America to firmly establish themselves as inclusive and contributing members of society within this country?” (Page 187) [Dolt Ed. Note: Totally!! We can't think of a single black person who has contributed to American society.]

Derp Nugget #5:  Immigration will lead to “extermination”:

..the immigration issue, both legal and illegal… will lead to planned wars or extermination. Although now this seems to be barbaric and uncivilized, it will at some point become as necessary as eating and breathing.” (Page 9)

Derp Nugget #6:  WTF is this supposed to mean????

“American Christians are assuming a similar stance as did the citizens of Germany during Hitler’s rise to power.” (Page 15

 

[lakersusctrojan]

Even if that party has been trying to limit the minority vote?

Vote for who you believe in. No party is perfect. I believe there are more than 2 candidates on the ballot. Better yet, get into politics yourself and create a platform that you believe can benefit the US as a whole.

So your answer is yes?

I'm not a minority, but if I were I don't know if I could do that. Then again, I doubt stacey dash has any idea that this is going on.

True. There are tons of 3rd party candidates and Nader was a popular example of them having impact when he messed up Florida for Al Gore in 2000.

15 Third-Party Presidential Candidates  
by Miss Cellania  - September 4, 2012 - 1:21 PM

   
inShare

You don’t have to read mental_floss to know that President Obama is running for re-election on the Democratic ticket and that Mitt Romney is opposing him on the Republican ticket. However, you might not know about these other  political parties and their 2012 presidential nominees.
[h4]1. Gary Johnson[/h4]


Gary Johnson, the presidential candidate of the Libertarian Party, was Governor of New Mexico from 1995 to 2003 as a Republican. As governor, he earned the nickname “Governor Veto.”  Before politics, he ran his own construction company. Among his personal accomplishments, he lists climbing Mt. Everest and Ironman Triathlons. Johnson is theoretically able to win the presidential election, as he is on the ballot in enough states (43) to achieve 270 electoral votes. Photograph by Flickr user Gage Skidmore.
[h4]2. Jill Stein[/h4]


Dr. Jill Stein  is running on the Green Party ticket. She is the only third-party candidate besides Johnson who can theoretically win 270 electoral votes. A physician and medical school professor, Stein focuses on environmental health issues, and has run for political office in Massachusetts twice for the Green-Rainbow Party, which is that state’s branch of the Green Party. Stein is on the ballot in 32 states.

Virgil Goode  is the presidential candidate for the Constitution Party. Goode will be on the ballot in 22 states, and can be written in as a candidate in 14 more.

9 More 2012 Presidential Candidates  
by Miss Cellania  - September 25, 2012 - 2:20 PM

   
inShare

The third party presidential candidates  we told you about a couple of weeks ago were only the top of the list of those running for president in 2012. There are plenty more, but as you go down the list, information becomes harder to find. Here are a few that are either on the ballot somewhere or are waging a serious (or semi-serious) write-in campaign, in no particular order.
[h4]1. Jeff Boss[/h4]


Jeff Boss  is an independent candidate for the presidency and a conspiracy theorist. His campaign website claims that the National Security Agency (NSA) conspired to arranged the 9/11 attacks, which he witnessed himself. Boss also claims the NSA is trying to kill him, and that his website has been hacked and altered by the NSA, but the link which visitors are redirected to is empty. See a video of Boss  in an article by Becky Turco. Jeff Boss will be on New Jersey’s presidential ballot.
[h4]2. Randall Terry[/h4]


Randall Terry  gained fame as the pro-life activist who founded Operation Rescue. Terry has been arrested many times for blockading the entrances of abortion clinics, and he organized protests around the Nancy Cruzan and Terri Schiavo cases, both involving the question of withdrawing life support from patients in a vegetative state. Randall Terry will be on the presidential ballot in Kentucky, Nebraska, and West Virginia. Photograph by Ben Schumin.
[h4]3. Samm Tittle[/h4]


Sheila “Samm” Tittle  of El Paso, Texas, is a conservative independent candidate who is running on a platform advocating tougher border security, an end to abortion, smaller government, the abolition of the Federal Reserve, time-limited welfare benefits, and states’ rights. Sheila Tittle has ballot access in Colorado and Louisiana.
[h4]4. Dean Morstad[/h4]


Dean Morstad  is an independent candidate from Minnesota who is running on a platform of cutting federal spending, reducing the size of government, and balancing the budget. He is recruiting election volunteers on his Facebook page. Morstad will only be on the ballot in Utah and Minnesota.
[h4]5. Jill Reed[/h4]
Jill Reed  is running for president for the Twelve Vision Party. Reed espouses a “protection-only” government and preaches on the “Prosperity Option”  and self-improvement for all. Jill Reed will be on the ballot in Indiana and Florida.
[h4]6. Jerry Litzel[/h4]


Jerry Litzel  is a collector of presidential campaign memorabilia. Now that he is running for president, with his brother (on the right) as his running mate, he will have souvenirs with his own name on them. That appears to be the main thrust of his candidacy. The campaign has no website. Litzel will be on the ballot in Iowa only.
[h4]7. Terry Jones[/h4]


You may recall Terry Jones  as the pastor of the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida. He achieved notoriety in 2010 for announcing a Burn the Koran Day. He now has a television show. Jones has no ballot access in any state.
[h4]8. Temperance Alesha Lancecouncil[/h4]
Temperance Alesha Lancecouncil has no campaign website, but she is the candidate of the Anti-Hypocrisy Party. From the mission statement:

A party has been formed to support any, and all of you who expose and oppose – - THE HYPOCRITE. Speak loudly against those who’ve put themselves in roles of leadership, power, or influence who “talk the talk,” but don’t “walk the walk.” Or those who’ve walked a crooked path and waddled in its puddles, only now only to chastise you and me. WE ARE THE PARTY OF THE PEOPLE, THE TRUE PILLARS OF HUMANITY.
ANTI-HYPOCRITES, AT LONG LAST, UNITE!!

One gets the idea that this may be a one-woman party.
[h4]9. Jack Fellure[/h4]


Jack Fellure  is the presidential candidate of the Prohibition Party. Fellure, from Hurricane, West Virginia, has put in a bid for president through the Republican party in every election since 1988. He even threw his hat into the ring in 2012, but when the primaries commenced without him, he decided to run with the Prohibition party, which nominated him at their convention in June. His platform is the King James version of the Bible, and of course his affiliation with the Prohibition party means he is anti-alcohol and other drugs. No state will have Fellure on their official presidential ballot this year. Photograph by William S. Saturn.

I was referring to a female I grew up with overseas.

Not long ago she posted this on FB:

"Okay, I have a serious question for my black Democrat/Liberal friends. Sorry.. this is for my black democrat/liberal friends ONLY. I'm segregating ya'll today lol. Now- I DO NOT want this to turn into an argument or crap talking session. I SINCERELY have wondered this FOREVER. Here it is: Why is there such a high loyalty among black people and the Democratic Party especially with the party's negative history toward blacks? "

I just sat there confused.

I came to the conclusion that she is woefully misinformed or has a severe case of Stockholm Syndrome, because of both her staunch political affiliation and her choice in Religion.

If she went far enough back in history, she'd have a point since the democrats used to be the epitome of the modern republicans.

She probably thinks shes holding on to the side of where "real" legacy lives or something. 

Also interesting considering that black people were considered to be cursed in Mormonism and not allowed to be priests in the church until 1978 when "god" said it was cool.
