"Black Vote Seen as Last Hope for Democrats to Hold Senate"
snip//
"Republicans, who are expanding outreach to African-Americans in states like North Carolina and Georgia, have their own aggressive get-out-the-vote effort, mindful of the success of the Obama campaign, which turned out voters in record numbers.

(110,903 posts)They're not admitting how ineffective they are, women either laughing at or offended by the commercials directed at them and probably the same result among people of color.
The Republicans are going to GOTV, all right. They're getting people angry enough to go vote against them.

(10,252 posts)Why didn't we think of that?
The GOP s going to be really really surprised, when they see how seriously the AA's have gotten people to register and vote.

(17,656 posts)The republicans totally ignored blacks by the droves in the 80s.
And they didn't even care if black families had enough to eat in the 90s.
On top of that, after the turn of the century, they treated black people with derision!
George W. Bush was the worst thing that could have ever happened to the Republican party.
He was the embodiment of the Republican party -- he was out there leading way out in front, totally naked, completely self-assured, bold as hell, brash as brass, racist in every way possible, and completely fucking wrong about everything he ever said or tried to do!!
Hurricane Katrina proved that!
"Good job, Brownie" will be the epitaph on his headstone.

(295,900 posts)Like the Tweet said.. the NYT's is drunk.
Speaking of Brownie.. apparently he was on cnn whining about the Obama Admin's handling of the Ebola Crisis.. because of course cnn would reach out to the head of one of the worst managed Disasters in history to speak about President Obama on this.

(4,113 posts)For months, they've been forecasting low voter turnout for the Democrats, losing the Senate, and so on. If the GOTV efforts with African Americans hold true, the MSM could look even more foolish than they already are. Right now, they have ZERO credibility with me.

(295,900 posts)2002.. when I cut them off dead. I see by reading DU since then and other online sites that they've only gotten exponentially worse!
The US corporate media carry gopropaganda water and throws it on the America Viewers.. too many are still sucking it up like it's true but so many more(I hope) are on to their manipulative agenda... and I hope so much they prove to be Sucky at their propagandistic forecasts.
Major Hogwash
(17,656 posts)I mean, there is so much Obama bashing and blaming it all on Harry Reid and the Democrats going on in most of the articles and news stories produced and published by the mainstream media, that it is almost as if the entire mainstream media has joined the Republican party!!
It is almost as if the mainstream media outlets are not charging Republican politicians anything to run their political ads, while at the same time, they are charging the Democrats double their usual rates to run their ads this year.
People can only take so much pressure before their will is broken.
Torture works that way . . . it breaks down a person's will to resist.
And although torture is not a good "fact finding" method, per se, as much as it is a mind-bending method designed to keep a person from resisting.
And the truth about torture is that it can break down a person's will to resist even it doesn't seem like torture, if it comes in small doses and is applied often enough and long enough.
And it seems to me the mainstream media is torturing us with all of the total bullshit they put out non-stop about how bad Obama is as a President.
And how bad Harry Reid is as the majority leader of the Senate.
Or how bad it would be if the House of Representatives were to be managed by Nancy Pelosi again.
People have been inundated with terrible news, horrible news, despicable news for the last several years.
And the mainstream media outlets are always consistent in the way they always end their articles and news stories by pointing to Obama or to Harry Reid or to the Democrats in the House, and then pose the completely irrational question, "What are they doing about it?", as if they are the only ones in Washington.
The mainstream media does this shit all of the time, without ever paying any attention to Mitch McConnell filibustering in the Senate 24/7/365, totally blocking anything from ever getting done in the Senate!!
The mainstream media does this while they totally ignore the completely asinine 3-ring circus that Ringmaster Boehnor has been conducting in the House of Representatives.
Seriously, the Republican Congressmen and Congresswomen are jokes.
Most of the ones that are currently serving in the House of Representatives have voted 54 times to repeal "Obamacare" in the House of Representatives in just the last 4 years.
Has "Obamacare" been repealed?
Fuck, no!
Is there a chance that "Obamacare" will ever be repealed?
Fuck, no!
So, why the fuck is Boehnor wasting precious tax dollars of the people's money on holding 54 votes to repeal something that they can never repeal?
Because he is a fucking assklown!
But, that's not going to stop Boehnor from driving their little clown car over the edge of Reality Mountain anytime soon!!
Because the mainstream media can't see him; they treat him like he is invisible!!

(23,373 posts)endorsing republicans for senate and the governor's race. It's bad. I'm sure Durbin is going to keep his seat. I'm also pretty sure we are going to get a mitt romney clone as governor. Our current governor democrat Pat Quinn is very unpopular. Both newspapers endorsed the republican for governor. He is made of money and he is spreading it around like crazy.

(295,900 posts)(Incumbent Gov.) Pat Quinn had every opportunity to stave off some of this, Hatch said. All he had to do was appoint an African-American as his running mate, which he had two opportunities to do and for some reason didnt do it.

(12,482 posts)tipped its hand in the Clinton witch hunt (impeachment). Not one of them questioned the veracity of the House gargoyles
who voted to impeach Clinton on specious grounds. They reported on every leak uttered from Ken Starr as if it were the straw that would make Clinton resign. They were, and remain, a disgrace to journalism.

(6,440 posts)At least it gives some hope to Democrats. Most of them are going with "A Republican landslide is inevitable, and it's all down to libertarian-leaning Google and Apple employees. Karl Rove said it, so it must be true".
