Mitt and the NAACP

YOU GOTTA GIVE MITT CREDIT for speaking to the NAACP, going straight into the lion's den, as it were. perhaps he wanted to appear brave, honest, willing to do difficult things. perhaps he simply responded to an invitation.

the audience could have treated him a bit better. can't blame 'em for booing at mitt's threat to repeal obamacare, but they might have applauded a bit more energetically in response to mitt's harmless comments.

it begs the question why do ninety five per cent of african americans vote for obama, and why do they vote for democrats in general? could it be that they tend to be poor, and democrats are perceived as being more interested in helping the poor? at least, if that's not the reason, what is?

the republicans claim that they can help the poor more than the democrats, primarily by keeping taxes on the wealthy low, so that the wealthy can hire more people, including the poor. sounds just a tad circuitous.

obama doesn't plan to even talk to the NAACP< does he? maybe he takes their support for granted.

were i mitt romney, i would keep hammering at the theme that republican conservative ideas are better for the poor than liberal democrat ideas, even though you don't think so. and see how far it gets him. what else can he do? 

he'll have to convince the poor that the best way to help them is to keep taxes on the wealthy low, and wait for the benefits...to trickle down. good luck with that, mitt.

if the economy gets worse in america between now and the presidential election, voters will have to choose between socialistic obama-istic, or republican capitalistic approaches to the solution. how many poor people will vote for trickle down mitt - economics,  "mittnomics"?

we'll see.
