    The 47% was a reference to those wanting handouts. (Government handouts)

    Was it not?

    Obama took most major cities where a large portion of these handouts take place.

    I know the percentages. My point is that you can spin it however you want to support your stance.

    Not this time.

    I did actually mis speak. I really meant big cities went Obamas way.
    However,I do feel there is an issue with the mentality in the inner cities, but it isn't because of race. It's because of ideology.

    I have issue with that ideology wherever it takes place . Even with my own mother that has it.:confused:

    I don't really think blacks voted for Obama because he is black. ( there are some) its because the ideology is the same. As a whole, the black community prefers bigger government as do Hispanics. Thats why both typically vote for dems and probably always will. Atleast until a social change is made in this country.

    I feel capitalism and conservatism is what founded this country and made it great . The fact we are turning away from those 2 things concerns me a great deal.:(

    Actually the majority of blacks and Hispanics are huge social conservatives, which should favor Republicans, but it doesn't.

    They both typically vote dem. Regardless of skin color. That was the point.


    But you bring up an interesting point.
    Could it be neither group is fiscally conservative?

    Just for some back ground and reference.

    My mother thinks rich white business men are evil. She thinks capitalism and conservatism is evil.

    Oh, she also hasn't worked for close to 50 years.:(

    I was raised with SS money.

    How is that different than how corporations act? They vote and put their money where it's best for them.

    corporations are indebted to there stock holders, if you don't make enough profit you have no stock holders, hence no business, hence no jobs for your kids.
    My generation? Thats painting with a wide brush.
    I think theres more than enough blame to go around, your mistake is you think that "The man" is the answer and I think good men can find an answer.
    More Debt is not a solution for any thing but the loss of our freedoms.
