AP's latest poll plays race card

  The AP-Yahoo Poll  shows some unsettling results. Of the Democrats and Independents surveyed, over one third had disparaging views of black and said that such views were the reason they would not vote for Barack HUSSEIN Obama in November. You can see the snap shot below on what kind of questions were asked and who answered what:

Analyzing the results ends up with two ideas: 1). Democrats are bigoted. 2).or, the AP was attempting to play the white guilt card to bring all Democrats into the fold.

If the first statement is correct, it would not be the first time that the party of diversity, the party of inclusion was caught flat footed on the issue of race. After the Civil War, it was the southern Democratic senators who fought for Jim Crow laws while southern Democratic governors were financing the KKK. Senator Robert Byrd(D-WV) was himself a card-carrying member and recruiter for the KKK and unashamed of it. And less the Democratic party forgets, the Civil Rights Act was almost killed in the Senate when Democratic Dixiecrats attempted to filibuster the bill.

My own idea, however, is that the second statement is more accurate: that the AP is playing the race card. The AP with its poll is trying to motivate with guilt a certain segment of the Democratic party. There are, believe it or not, some Dems that arent going to vote for BHO. The supporters of Hillary come into mind first. They are not ashamed to admit that they aren't going to vote for Barack HUSSEIN Obama not because of his race, but because of the unfair treatment that they perceive Hillary received at the hands of the Media. The last survey taken stated that over 50 percent of Clintonistas were not supporting BHO. Of those, 20 percent said they would support McCain while the remaining will opt to stay home. These are votes that BHO needs to win. What better way to get those votes than to shame the voters into voting for Obama.

The only bright spot on the whole survey was when Republicans were asked. Republicans flatly stated they wouldn't vote for any Democrat, no matter what their race , color, creed or sexual preference. Now that's equality!!!!!
