96 percent of black voters chose Barack Obama in 2008. Some black Christian leaders want to change that in 2012. They believe that Obama's pro-gay policies -- mainly his support of gay marriage -- will cost Obama some support from the black, Christian community.

Bishop E. W. Jackson Sr., president of the group Staying True to America’s National Destiny (STAND) started the "Exodus Now" effort to encourage blacks to leave the Democratic party. "It is time for black Christians to have the faith and courage to refuse to associate with the Democratic Party that has become anti-Christian, anti-Israel, anti-Church, anti-Bible, anti-life, anti-family and anti-God,” said Bishop Jackson.

Bishop Jackson added, "...The Democratic Party has shown itself to be so inimical to the biblical values of Christians and Jews that it is time for a mass exodus. The Democratic Party has turned its back on us, it’s time to turn our back on them."

The National Urban League published a report called, “The Hidden Swing Voters: Impact of African-Americans in 2012.” The report suggests that Obama will lose re-election if only 60% of blacks turnout in 2012 -- the same amount that turned out in the 2004 presidential election, which George W. Bush won.

The reason that the gay-marriage initiative in CA went down in flames in 2008 wasn't because of the Mormon vote - it was because of the black voter turnout. Obama has opened the door to his defeat - and also his potential "outing": http://tinyurl.com/obamasgaylife

A FEW QUESTIONS/COMMENTS on GAY MARRIAGE:

If gay marriage is ok, why not make polygamy, incest, or pedophilia, OK?

And all of aforementioned in the name of 'LOVE' will justify them all?

Do the "ends" justify the "means" at any cost?

Are gays really being honest with themselves and others in "coming out of the closet"? Why the need for gay "pride" in the first place decades ago?

Perhaps someone can explain why they want to shame others for their hate or homophobia when they themselves needed to advertise and promote their own "pride" well before anyone knew about gay pride?

ONE LAST POINT/QUESTION.
Doesn't the medical community recommend that you, "Wash your hands after you go to the bathroom."?

Yet, now there are some in the medical community that now say it's OK to "Sleep with the waste that gets flushed down in the toilet?" and that it's possible to live a perfectly normal life.

IF I OPPOSE INCEST, DOES THAT MAKE ME A BIGOT?
To those who say that anti-gay marriage supporters are "bigots", would anyone opposing polygamy, incest or pedophilia also be bigots?

How can anyone lump polygamy,incest,& pedophilia together with gay marriage? People do not choose to be gay;they are born that way.I can't imagine anyone CHOOSING to be so different knowing that some crazy religious idiot can try to kill you.FACT:an embryo, weather it is male or female,get the same hormones in the first 6 weeks of existence. This mean a male embryo get female AND male hormones & vice versa. Perhaps, if a male embryo gets TOO MUCH female hormones,it will become gay & vice versa.As a nurse,I haven't seen any research done on this subject.Polygamy is the same as religious prostitution.Incest & pedophilia are both choices.

I will vote for Obama because I believe his economic policies are much more just and responsible than Romney's. But as a man of faith I am extremely unhappy that he has endorsed immorality and perversion.

Let us not forget that Obama will still receive over 90 percent of the black vote regardless of the same sex marriage issue. Plus, he will get most or all of the college students that can't find their underwear and 100 percent of all the Lesbians that drive a Toyota Prius with a Darwin bumper sticker!

Either you believe in God or your don't there is no in between!
Anyone who stands with God would not vote for Obama! Any Christian leader of any color who calls himself a man of God would not vote for Obama and any one who knows the Bible would not vote for Obama! All people of all faith must stand up to this anti-Christ Obama and the Democratic party is now a anti-Israel, anti-Church, anti-Bible, anti-life, anti-family and anti-God. Obama stands with Islam the anti-Christ!

Can't do that what is wrong with you? Anti Christ Obama have you lost your mind? You don't know what it looks like, have you ever seen the anti christ? Who told you he was the anti christ? You are wraped way too tight in your bible life you're going to scare people away from you. You need to add some love or make some room for some love to come in. Jesus has taken far more pain than you ever will and he wasn't as angry as you are.Perhaps you need to ask your pastor why jesus was so humble.

No it's the economy, the nation in general and foreign policy. As a christian we are taught it's wrong. As a person who knows many gay and lesbian's when you know them you have to feel for them. One cannot change that which one likes. I know what I like, guys know what they like, you can't suddenly tell a guy or girl that blonde one is bad, even wrong. Oh you can but inside they want him or her. With gays/lesbians it's the same we need more understanding and dialogue as this is a heart wrenching thing for them. It's easy to say no because but as a Christian we are supposed to forgive and love everyone so...it's easy to try to appease the masses one way or the other. I'd rather leave it up to the states. If a state says it's ok then heck move to that state if you want to get married..that would solve the issue.

Greatful for what? People had to die to use the front door people got locked up from refusing to ride in the back of a bus and still had to pay the same money as if they were riding in the front. I know my mother was arested for refusing to ride in the back of the bus Rosa wasn't the only one. It wasn't untill 1965 that Black were able to buy prime realestate like beach front property that's not that long ago.

First of all we weren't saved. Lincon freed the slaves to economically destroy the south.This ment no more free labor they had to pay to export and import goods for trade to found thier war efforts as a result food and supplies were short reducing strenth. After the Civil War the Vagrancy Law came into play this ment that you have to have some money and a Job. Now how can a just freed slave have some money and a job. He's not, guess what happened ?The freed-Slave was arested and placed in a chain gang to build railroads and other things for free.

After the affect of Nixon, Clinton, Bush to name a few who has the right to judge who's worthy or not?

Do you realistically belive that he can fix an 8 year screw up in in four. On top of that he's working with a no no congress. Right now the stock market is going up he stablized the housing market, he placed legislation to stop fraudulent morgage writting he's helped our children with finacial aid he passed universal healthcare for the first time universal healthcare, saved the auto industry. With a stacked deck working against him he still manage to get some stuff passed, dispite the republicans loosing clintons 5 trillion dollar surplus, then loosing over 400 billion dollars to the banks because they had no regulations, dept with the Chinese and China's tickory on terrifs, that reminds me and dergulation is the reason why we are in this mess in the first place, he's dealing with unemployment two wars that he didn't start and trying to bring our soldiers home? Incompetent you got to be kidding if you can do better I'll vote for you.

If you sodaheads want a wake up call I will post a website below that was done by Howard Stern, now most of you including liberals seem to like Howard Stern, bit I must admit I can't stand the man. Anyway he took a crew to Harlem and asked the people ther who they were voting for, most of them didn't even know who was running this year, and all most all of them didn't know Osama Bin Laden was dead. So I dare all of you especially liberals and Obama voters to go and listen to the interviews on the street, it will make wonder why these people are allowed to vote. This country is in deep trouble with these kinds of people.

Contrary to some peoples views, most black people are very religious and have strong family values. Obama assumes he will get the black votes automatically, so he chose to go after the gay vote, he might be in for a big surprise, and hopefully so....
