Can I hear an Amen?

[sarasotarepublican]

You mean when will republicans start campaigning on issues important to the black community like school choice, traditional values and job producing tax cuts and when will the Republicans start giving black American's opportunites to serve at the highlest levels of government like Secretary of State and National Security advisor.....I don't know, you tell me.

I hear ya. GWB certainly has done his share. He and the GOP need to keep it up. Voters have a short memory...That statement excludes all of us.

[cyborg]

AMEN!

[sarasotarepublican]

You are the brave one. Keep up the good words, thoughts and deeds.

I am optimistic that slowly the tide is turning. As Condi Rice becomes more visible, Black American women will see that if the Republican party is good enough for her, it can be good enough for them...

[funkywbr]

Funny that SLAVES should be asking to be recipricated!~}

[zeugma]

These people need to get their bad politicians out of their way and they will thrive like they always could have.

What makes you think a black politican that is not bought and paid for has any chance in their party? The democrat party has zero interest in self-sufficient blacks.

You guess it, Oliphant is crying racism....

Oliphant's behavior should be making all her supporters cringe.

[Grut]

And...the Democraps will never do anything for you, why should they, they will get 90% of your votes for free!

Gee! Where have conservatives seen something like that before?

American Blacks are about as dumb as one can get when it comes to politics. But, there are a much dumber group of American voters than Black folk, and that be the American Jewish voter. Never have seen a people so duped they vote for a political party that insures them a death wish at the hands of Bin Laden and company. Frightening! Go figure!

[pa mom]

Very true. Our dear friend, wonderful in so many ways, is a social and fiscal conservative (but shhh, he doesn't kow it). But he votes democratic because "jews are Deomocrats".

[A CA Guy]

What I think these days gives the honest black politician a chance in their communities is that they have been so screwed by their current historic crop of crooks, that reasonable people might take hold these days.

Oliphant's story is typical. She is crooked and incompetent, and not subtle about either. All well documented in multiple sources.

But with these people, race trumps everything. Period. Very sad.

"I hear ya. GWB certainly has done his share. He and the GOP need to keep it up."

Not just as President, either. As Governor of Texas, GWB went from something like 13% of the Black vote for his first term to more than 30% (or some such number) of the Texas Black vote for his second.

That's making substantial progress in the face of an all-out media assault against him.

The more that people see GWB do, the more people like him IN SPITE OF what the Corrupt Old News Media has to say about him.

Actions count... for a lot of people. Not everyone is kept down by the corrupt leftist news media. Thus, there is still hope for us all.

[bocopar]

Ouch.

...but right on the mark.

[AppyPappy]

Where they gonna go? Shoot, the Dems really don't even NEED the black vote anymore. They can manufacture it at the polling places.

[rdb3]

Where they gonna go?

As far as the Soul Patrol and the paleo-negroes, I don't care where they go. I do have a one-way ticket to hell for them, though.

"The most racist people I've ever come across were white leftists."

That's very true. I'm just your average white guy. I work with and live around a whole bunch of different people. Everybody's alike to me. But when you go to Hollywood Hills, Beverly Hills, or Hidden Hills, you find a bunch of isolated white Democrats who only know each other. Heck, MY tan would rub off on them! I think it's racism with an amount of selfishness and belly-button lint.

Basically spoiled rotten people. I don't like them and if I were black, I would like them less.
