Quote
Most black pastors, to Montgomery's knowledge, share his view of homosexuality as unnatural and counter to Biblical teachings, and despite President Obama's declaration of support for gay marriage in May, he has "not seen a wave of black pastors speaking on behalf of same sex marriage."

In fact, Obama's change of heart so offended William Owens, founder of the Memphis-based Coalition of African American Pastors (CAAP), that he has been on a highly publicized national crusade to condemn it ever since.

This is what I was telling yall.  My black friend (big time Obama supporter) says he won't vote for Obama this time over the gay issue.  He will just stay home.

Wow, and the media has really, really, really reported this story.  I have heard it so much that it is making me sick.

Oh wait...not that was Romney's 47% comments.

I haven't heard a darned thing about black pastor's reactions to the democrats attacking the sanctity of Christian/Religious marriage.

It is almost like the media doesn't report on things that put the President, or even blacks in a negative light

You know the media can NOT cover any story that might make people look at Obama in any negative light, but most especially not a story featuring any of the many African-Americans that see his POLICIEs instead of his SKIN!!

It's a sad commentary that the gay marriage issue is what it takes for people to not vote for Obama. Obviously there are many reasons. The gay marriage issue is a nonstarter since by a preponderance of the evidence a majority of the american public is against the issue. Black , white , brown and any other shade.

That is going to be the issue for blacks this time. They are just going to stay home and not vote. They would rather do that than vote against their party.

Not only blacks but gays and students. The thrill is gone and so will the percentage that voted for him because of hope and change. They got the change for the worst with fewer jobs, high gas prices, a floundering economy, etc. Some gays that already make higher salaries than the national average might be turned off by Obama's promise to raise their taxes. Pocket book issues will determine this election, and that spells defeat for O.

Especially the students that have graduated since 2008.  They have found little opportunities for work and when they have found them the value of their labor is way, way down.

Why is Romney not leading though?

Possibly because most polls oversample Democrats by 10 or so percent.

Well because the polls that I "deem" not biased also have Romney following and outside the margin of error.  I am just worried that Romney is another Dole, another McCain.

No one knows what % of Obama supporters in 2008 will either stay home or vote for Romney. I can guarantee you that the percentage will be several percentage points less. The economy and employment is down. Romney will win easily because his base of blacks, students, gays, liberals will be down. The thrill is gone and for the millions of unemployed, the hope he promised has evaporated. The change they got was higher food prices, higher gas prices and higher taxes. The thrill is gone and now he has shit canned those promises with a new campaign slogan "forward" which means more of the same bad policies. Conclusion: polling is a crap shoot and the media and the pollsters are playing with loaded dice.

I really pray and hope that you are right Lacarnut.  I hope I am not coming off wrong.  I would vote for a piece of driftwood over Obama.

With the state the country is in & without the media playing offense for team Obama  there really should be no contest.
