Will Obama start with 25 million votes because of affirmative action?

Question

Will Obama start with 25 million votes because of affirmative action?

Answer 1

If you believe the media, every African-American in the country will vote for Obama just because of his race I would like to think people are more intelligent than that. It is insulting and a great disservice to all Blacks to portray them as a great mindless monolithic voting block.

As far as affirmative action goes. Unfortunately a great number of people will vote for whoever validates their own world view. In Obama's world view, we are all helpless victims in need of his protection. Sadly, this resonates will a lot of people.

Answer 2

I do think the voting right act is usually referred to as affirmative action, It is thought of by most people  as assuring blacks of their constitutional right to vote.

Answer 3

Maybe you should do some research into how affirmative action works. I do not have the patience to explain it.

Answer 4

Hmmm, a candidate that has two years of senate experience and no prior experience being a governer or military leader before that.  Someone who was vague with their policies from the start and has flipped on most issues presented to him.  Nah, there's got to be something more to this.

Answer 5

No silly, he only get 3/5 of 25 million.

Answer 6

No but he will want reparations after the election is "stolen" from him. I'm sure the Republicans are far more honest about their votes. You can see democrat operatives in Chicago cemeteries and nursing homes canvasing for votes. By the way, did you notice how the Democrats mentioned Obama's skin color about every 5 minutes at the convention? I'll bet anyone his skin color won't be mentioned once at the Republican convention.

Answer 7

Did you ever notice.

democrats like affirmative action

They think it should be used in universities and corporations to right past wrongs of minorties not being given a chance.

But then they refuse to use affirmative action in the democratic political primaries,

When minorties were never given a chance there before.

Shouldn't minority democratic primary candiates, recieve an extra 10 percent of the democratic delegates ?

After all, they cannot say that minorities were not discriminated against in the democratic nomination in the past.

Answer 8

no he wont need to...  

Answer 9

Idiot!

Answer 10

It is my opinion that Obama is the nominee because of covert affirmative action by the "victim and blame" liberals - and the lame attempt by the democrats to absolutely prove that there is no bigotry or racism in their camp.
