Unpopular Spitgate Rep. Cleaver Loses Ground to GOP Challenger
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, October 17, 2010, 12:04 AM
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver II, the notorious “spitgate” liberal, is in the race of his life.
Rep. Cleaver claimed he was spit on during the democratic healthcare assault this year. Video clearly showed this never happened. He later retracted the statement.
Cleaver, who has a 46% disapproval rating and a 100% Pelosi poodle rating, is leading Republican Jacob Turk by 9 points in district where he easily won in 2008.
The Missouri Record reported:
Candidate Jacob Turk’s campaign just released a survey conducted by Scott Rasmussen’s Pulse Opinion Research indicating a closer-than-you-would guess race in Missouri’s 5th Congressional District. The survey has Rep. Cleaver at 52% to Turk’s 43%, with margin of error of +/- 4%. Moreover, Cleaver has earned a disapproval rating of 46%.
In a year where Democrats face bad news on every front, even safe seats are within the grasp of the GOP. Why not Cleaver’s too? Heck, The Kansas City Star reported that in the KC area, Roy Blunt polls 18 points better than Robin Carnahan.

We need fewer race-baiters in power. Racial divides have grown and our nation needs to move in the other direction. We need to move toward equal opportunity for all.
Ngbamine Keith commented:
His lies about spitting were inflammatory and could have led to a violent reaction. Was that not his intention? This kind of demagoguery and appeal to race is political malpractice. Its sorry practitioners deserve the drubbing they will be getting.

Emanuel Cleaver is what America has SEWN.
Pretty much any Gerrymandered “BLACK” Congressional District has brought America.
Grievance LIBTARD Negroes.
Milwaukee, Detroit, K.C. St Louis, Baltimore, Cleveland, ANY formerly INDUSTRIAL CITY with a large BLACK population has a EMANUEL CLEAVER.
Race baiting… WELFARE MONGERING. “SERVICES” demanding.
COMPLETELY EFFED UP PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.
Blame WHITEY, no accountability.

Who would vote for a liar???
Militant Conservative commented:
Of course he is in a threatened seat. America is waking up to the socialists in they midst. Black people (leadership) are ok with the victimhood of their own race, as long as THEY are in the drivers seat. Wake up black America your being used. Smford Bishop is another example of the same thing. Congressman Bishop is on the endangered politician list too.
Join real america my pigmented brothers, you can do it if you just step up and try. Quit being the house boy to the democrat slave master. BE YOUR OWN MAN. powder is dry

#5 They want what you have but don’t want to work for it, mainly because they think you didn’t work for it. It was given to you because you are white. They want to rule the whites so they can pay back all the slurs and oppression they endured for centuries caused by the whites. In other words, they want to get even. And all the doctors, etc who secceeded…they are regarded by the black community as traitors or as Uncle Toms or Aunt Jemimas. With Obama as president and the DOJ’s new policy of not prosecuting blacks for election crimes, this is getting closer to reality. Of course, not all blacks think like this but the majority do to one extent or another. If anyone should look at the ratio of blacks vs whites in government employees, they would be appalled at the uneven numbers. They out number us even though most of them don’t have the smarts to be in their positions. That is the reason for all the new hires in government. Look into the ratio of blacks vs whites in all states’ election offices. With most of the Secretaries of State (the people who count the votes) as dimocrat, how do you think the election is going to go? Surely you don’t think the dims will be honest. They weren’t in 2008 or any year prior to that. This was a carefully worked out dim plan. We Are Screwed.

southernsue, you obviously didn’t hear that only whites are racist, and NOW represents all women, and that a gay Secretary of Education will not push a pro-gay bias in our public schools.
Geez where have you been girl?

In other words, he is a liar. Oh, wait he is a Democrat so we already knew that.
It saddens me every time I hear that some democrat politician is supposedly in a safe seat.
When are Americans going to wait up and realize the damage the Democrats have done to our country?

In Delaware, O’Donnell has also come to within nine points of Coons (per Rasmussen) but strangely, many Right Wing blogs are not mentioning it, preferring to write her off as punishment for beating GOP establishment candidate Castle.

i’ve had [white] friends who participated in the civil rights marchs, etc of the past. one sunday morning [90's] i watched a forum concerning race relations on the t.v. and was surprised by the dissing of those whites who took part in the movement by young blacks. not a lot of challenge went out to counter their positions. it
was an eye-opener. a “that was then – this is now” moment.

The two biggest black retards in Congress are Lacy Clay and Maxine Waters. The rest of the Black Caucus exibit similar traits. are not far behind.
If you needed an IQ of 80 to qualify for Congress, most of the BC would be SOL

100% Pelosi poodle.
I had a tiny black poodle years ago named Buckwheat, and this strikes me as hilarious. LOL! I almost ‘spit’ my coffee on my keyboard.
Buckwheat is my all time favorite tv character, so I’ll not soil my creative poodle nomenclature with this Cleaver thing. I’ve considered the superior and inferior breeding and have determined that Cleaver is a beaver.

I would love to see that Cleaver have to leave in disgrace.
Accusing 1/2 a nation about being extremists is what got this constant bashing towards the Tea Parties started and he deserves nothing else but to be sent home!
Do the right thing Americans who live in his district – boot his butt out!
John Stanford commented:
He’s winning by 9. He’s over 50%. He’s gonna win. 9 points is a pretty big margin–certainly this late in the game, his opponent won’t catch up.

Only one glaring problem. You actually trust the polls? The media lies. Then you can manufacture data too you can make a poll dance and sing. This is not an unattainable feat. remember Scott Brown?

There’s a big problem with some of the black churches, namely those associated with the Nation of Islam and the likes of Jeremiah Wright. Those preachers have been telling their young people for many years that the hand of every white person in the country is against them. Jeremiah Wright is also responsible for telling them that the AIDS virus was invented in the US for the purpose of killing people of color.
Other churches are working to undo this mess.
