I live in a minority majority county in Virginia. The same liberal democrats get voted into local and state office every election even though my county has been one of the poorest counties for 40 or 50 years. I'm not a Republican, but I am a conservative independent. It has gotten so bad here that the Democrate usually runs unchallenged. Why?

The poor minorities have been brainwashed for so many years by the Democrats that they are afraid to change. It's like the definition of insanity. You keep doing the same thing over and over expecting the results to change.
It's really kind of sad.

it somewhat is not a sturdy thought. The GOP has been shrinking precisely subsequently. The hardliners do not tolerate variations of opinion interior of their own ranks, hence why persons like Powell and Specter have been run out of the occasion and John McCain has been chastised by potential of fellow Republicans for some years. If the Democrats take an analogous approach, it is going to backfire on them. as nicely, if the Democratic occasion is going to sell itself as a "great tent" occasion, it has to learn how to be extra accepting of civil disagreements between its very own people. it can't start up punishing people for being principled. it somewhat isn't the impressive message to be sending.

It's quite simple, really: so long as those selfsame liberal politicians are in power, the minorities will continue to receive money and special treatment and fawning over and all sorts of sickening rot. When a conservative gets into office and lets the people fend for themselves, as they rightfully should, the minorities don't get all their special money anymore. And God forbid they should ever perform a day of honest work.

Because minorities are usually low class, welfare collecting bums, and that is the platform that left-wing politicians run on. Make a promise of something and never deliver and not only never deliver, but never really try. They took over house control and made promises about this and that and what have they done with it in the last year or so. Nothing. A typical democratic tradition.

The same reason people vote Republicans in the office. I don't believe any real changes are going to be made by either party because the representatives that are in Washington are doing things that they want not what's best for the rest of the country.

The democrats know that the minorities are lower educated and they know that they have made them believe that they need this or that. They have kept the minorities on welfare and if they don't do as they are told, the democrats will take their welfare away.
I know I'm going to get thumbs down for this one but I don't care, the facts are out there and if they had the drive, they could look it up and put two and two together.

I hate to say it, but its ignorance. And the media in general, that put labels on anyone that votes conservative...mean, nasty labels at that. It is a sad SAD commentary on our "free" society when one would rather vote based on what others might think of them rather than voting based on what is for the good of the people in general. God bless the USA!

It's the lesser of two evils. Do you think the minorities that lived through Katrina will ever vote Republican?
