The NAACP Irony

We know that America is a divided, balkanized country;

We know that the black vote goes to the democrats by an overwhelming majority – 90% or more;

We know that most of those 50% of Americans who do not pay any federal income tax vote for democrats;

We know that white male’s mostly vote for republicans and that a lot of white females vote for democrats and that usually is enough to elect democrats;

We know that well to do folk are admired, envied and are welcome almost anywhere as long as they bring their wallets;

We know that most politicians prefer to give their speeches to friendly audiences and that the ones in power will always pack the audience with those who can read an applause sign.

But here is something we learned just this week – for the very first time.

Mitt Romney had the spine to go to the NAACP meeting and give a speech, the same speech he gives everywhere, calling for the repeal of Obamacare among other things and…

…we know that there is not a snowball’s chance in Hades that his opponent will show up with any one of his standard speeches in front of a tea party meeting anywhere in the United States.

And that is just about all you need to know about Romney and Obama if you are trying to make up your mind who to vote for.
