FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Donna Brazile, a prominent black Democratic strategist and the chairman of Al
Gore’s 2000 presidential campaign, said Mr Romney deserved the negative
reaction for describing “ObamaCare” as a “non-essential
programme”.
“They were right to boo, as they understand that the Affordable Care Act
will bring them more coverage and reduce the cost of health care in this
country,” she told CNN.
Mr Romney alluded to the complex history of American race relations, but
tacitly acknowledged the Republican party’s failure to convince many black
Americans it represents their interests.
“The Republican Party’s record, by the measures you rightly apply, is not
perfect. Any party that claims a perfect record doesn’t know history the way
you know it,” he said.
Asking NAACP delegates to look at him afresh, he cited his father, George
Romney, who ran for the Republican nomination in 1968 and upset many
Republicans in his home state of Michigan for his strong support for black
rights and the Civil Rights movement.
“It wasn’t just that my Dad helped write the civil rights provision for
the Michigan Constitution, though he did. It wasn’t just that he helped
create Michigan’s first civil rights commission, or that as governor he
marched for civil rights in Detroit – though he did those things, too.
“More than these public acts, it was the kind of man he was, and the way
he dealt with every person, black or white. He was a man of the fairest
instincts, and a man of faith who knew that every person was a child of God,”
he said.
However Jamal Simmons a Democratic political consultant and leading
race-relations expert said the reality was that Mr Romney would have an
uphill battle conquering the deep distrust felt towards the Republican Party
on race and immigration issues.
“The problem for Republicans is that immigration is a values question
that establishes the Republicans as being against immigrants’ fundamental
interests. They can’t trust them. I might agree with you on seven out of ten
issues, but that one issue is a threshold over whether you can be trusted.
“The same thing is true with African Americans. There are a lot who agree
with the Republicans on gay rights, abortion, welfare issues, but they think
that Republicans are racist – so I don’t trust you on those other things,
because I don’t believe you have my interests at heart.”
