Unless you live in an embryocentric personal universe, is there any reason to read NRO any more?
Damn I'm sick of all this racial divide crap. Its much more complicated then I'm the same shade of taupe as that one or I have the same external sexual apperatus as that one.

THANK GOD EVERYBODY'S VOTE COUNTS DURING ELECTIONS.
"[Obama's] sky-high ratings among African-Americans make some of his positions appear a bit more popular overall than they actually are."
What he's saying is that approval ratings by African Americans shouldn't "really" count, because, you see, his positions aren't "actually" that popular. He's clearly suggesting that black people don't count and their opinions are not equal to those of white people.
This is fucking stupid.
If we don't count the people who are clueless, the GOP would not exist.
President Obama this is suppose to be bad. that is why the Republican party will fade away, because of their ideology. It pretty mess up. So according to this
article Black people don't count.
Interesting point for which some illustrative date would be helpful.
if we actually had data, I would wonder whether evangelicals supported a Republican even on issues that lack any clear religious connection.
I would also note that we hear about Republicans being in the pocket of and pandering to the Religious Right about every ten minutes. How often do we hear of Obama and the Democrats pandering to blacks?
If Republicans *are* pandering, the evangelical support makes sense, yes?
And as for that dubious headline -- 'INVESTIGATIVE Reporter Byron York EXPOSES Black Support For Democratic President' --there is no need to ' investigate' and 'expose' a damn thing. . . I am more than proud to SHOUT to the rooftops I voted for President Obama in the 2008 election and am as ECSTATIC today as I was then!!
What happens to the polls if we just count 2/3 of blacks?
Afterall, that's what the constitution does (or did).
Racism is an ugly ugly thing Mr. York.
If they didn't bring slaves to the USA, then we would not have a BLACK President today.
Plus, all those dumb white people voted for the black guy.
He is not even an American because he is black.
And those ~12% African Americans should have never been given the right to vote.
Hey, why stop there. Let's pull back the right to vote from ALL women and non-white men!
Since they can't vote, they should not be able to run for office or work at a good job.
Don't stop there. Let's disallow all women and non-whites from getting educated.
Now that's what this racist really wanted to say.
'Cause, you know, those people shouldn't count.
What, Byron? Than they actually are with, you know, white people?
Do keep up and follow links.
The people that have commented seem to not only 100% accept the idea, but ignore the Biden numbers and forget so much of why black, Hispanic and Asian Americans vote Democratic.
They seem to think racism is over for the white folk, and 80% of 'colored' folk are racist due to their support of Obama - whats more, this apparently means that the mid terms will be a landslide for republican nominees, because Obama won't be on the ballot.
How sad these folk are.
The racism and extremist insanity is unlimited to the point where if I had continued to read the comments on that page, I may well have thrown up.
I find it so hard to believe that there are that many people so ignorant, so desperate to project their own self hatred on to others in order that they not have to try to look into the mirror, and/or seriously ask themselves if there may be anything wrong with their own ideas and prejudices given their unpopularity with the vast majority of America.
They really don't realize that not only is Obama extremely popular, but they and their old ideas are extremely UNpopular.
It's just sickening to see in black and white how sad, bigoted and angry the right wing have become.
And a real shame for America - we need a serious opposition party, yet the only serious, intelligent and respectable opposition of any merit is coming from within the Democratic Party itself.
Do republicans even care about Democracy, tolerance, or even basic things like reading, and finding out other people's points of view?
I just find it so hard to believe that they are that self righteous, that ignorant and that bigoted. Yet they continue to prove it to us day and day out.
Their behavior is becoming more and more depraved - and less and less American.
..I think there's a word for someone who makes this distinction only when it comes to black people, but not white people.
Isn't this the money quote? What *isn't* racist about that use of "actually"?
Shorter York: Black people aren't actually people, you see. Thus, Obama's "popularity" is not what it seems.
(I see everyone else here is noting this. Serves me right. I should read the extant comments first. Still...)

Personal life
"Gingrich has been married three times. He married Jackie Battley, his former high school geometry teacher, when he was 19 years old (she was seven years his senior at 26 years old).[8][9] They had two daughters and divorced in 1981. She claims he "discussed divorce terms with her while she was recuperating in the hospital from cancer surgery",[10] a fact that was used against him in 1992 by his Democratic opponent Tony Center.
In 1981, six months after his divorce was final, Gingrich wed Marianne Ginther.[11] He remained married to Ginther until 2000, when they divorced. Shortly thereafter, Gingrich married Callista Bisek, with whom he later admitted to having had an affair during his second marriage,[12] at approximately the same time he was leading the Congressional investigation of Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky.
Gingrich admitted to providing inaccurate statements during the probe over the college course and agreed to pay US$300,000 for the cost of the investigation, despite denying the charges over misuse of tax-exempt funds. [30][31] The House Ethics Committee concluded that inaccurate information supplied to investigators represented "intentional or ... reckless" disregard of House rules."
I really hope that, that SLEAZEBALL runs in 2012.
