Are we to believe that Bush's percentage among black voters in FL went UP?

[republicansareevil]

I mean even without any detailed statistical analysis, you know that's gotta be wrong. According to CNN's exit polls, 13% of black voters in Florida chose Bush? When it was only 6% in 2000? I don't know whether this data is being fucked with at the collection level, the compilation level, or the reporting level, but there's no way I buy that!

1. Time to fight it.

Let's keep shouting, there is NO WAY I will accept this BS ><

[DireStrike]

2. I don't buy it either.

The only possible other "explanation" is that... like 10% of them are insane fundie religionists.

3. Actually, the polls had been showing that * had increased Af. Am. vote

in his favor. We used to get over 90%. It went down into the 80's during the last four years.

The religious Af. Americans? Or that faith-based initiative, where Bush gives $$$ to faith based charities over non-faith based? There are a lot of faith-based Af. American charities.

6. link to some of these polls?

I don't believe it. African Americans have always been religious, on the whole. When has that ever translated into votes for the Republicans?

5. We were had in Florida. Cold and simple, no way in hell can

anyone tell me differently.

7. The sad thing is that the increased african american vote

for chimpy is based on the gay marriage issue. Some black radio commentator just said on local radio that the african american community doesn't want gays to get any rights that they think belong to them. As a gay man who has fought for ALL minority rights, I am appalled.

9. I'll say again, I don't believe it.

I think that will be the RW talking point: blacks voted for Bush because of religious issues. I just don't believe it.

8. The black vote more than DOUBLED in FL.?

I don't think so! Fight it! How can any of this be checked?

10. No kidding. Leslit Blitz was trumpeting it last night, still not

daring to (God forbid!) QUESTION it.

Do your jobs, bastards.

11. I would like to hear from some Floridians

You tell me that blacks in Florida like Bush better now than 4 years ago. Tell me.

12. I'm still waiting.

I'm still waiting for the Florida DUers to tell me this isn't bullshit. You were there. You know. Did black people stand in line for hours on end to vote for Bush?
