George Wallace’s son, George, III, did become a Republican, but he stopped winning elections some time back. He is usually known as “George, Jr.,” but the George Wallace people recognize was really George Wallace, Jr. Presidential candidate Wallace remained Democrat; he said there wasn’t “a dime’s worth of difference between the two major parties.” He was a JFK supporter in 1960 too.
McPain and “Loveable Lindsey” are RINOs by temperament if not by some rigged voting record tally.
Treen and Freeman were at odds throughout the Treen administration. Treen backed Mary Landrieu on his own in 2008; some thought she would help a Treen kinsman get a federal judgeship. Treen himself was rejected for a federal judgeship in 1986; never nominated by Reagan after Democrat opposition surfaced.
Because race comes before everything to most Black people.
Democrats would win every election for the foreseeable future. A third party is a terrible idea.
Good news.
“A large percentage of “very religious” blacks are conservative”
And the vast majority still vote for the most radical
pro-abortion, queer “marriage” loving president in American history. Making them nothing but hypocrites
Rick Santorum was about the only GOP contender in 2012 who understood that and you should’ve seen how Freepers piled on him. I was genuinely shocker.
A cousin of mine ran for the state legislature in Idaho for The Constitution Party. He lost, but the Democrats didn’t even bother fielding a candidate there. The GOP guy who won decided he’s better become more conservative.
Guillory released a new video yesterday called, “Why I Am a Repulican” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_YQ8560E1w

It’s like a paradigm shift!
just let the left keep pushing their homo and cross dressing and well see more of this
How can we embrace these new folks and encourage this to happen more often. I hope we don’t get into the “SEE, we told ya we were better” attitude. I hope we can stay grateful for each new person who is actually waking up. These people are brave and they give me hope!
So are these new Republicans going to be Republicans or Black Republicans? Are they going to be members of the National Black Republican Association? Or just Republicans?
Who cares? There are a multitude of minority Republican groups. Gee, the labeling that goes on at FR is amazing sometimes. There are already too many pigeon holes to stuff people in to divide them. We need to be looking at the points that unify us, imho.

wow.

Geee, I wonder how it is then that Jesse Jackson didn’t make it past the primary season when he ran......
This condemnation of people based on skin color has to stop. It HAS too. There is no way things are going to change if this continues.
I mean come on - we have to step up!
Shirley Chisholm was a black Democrat in 1972,,,,did everyone with her color vote for no one else? No! She won 28 delegates in the primaries.
1992, 1996, 2000 and 2008 Alan Keyes,,how far did he get?
2204, Carol Mosely Braun and Al Sharpton...how far did they get?
Did every minority who didn’t vote for Romney do so because reasons of skin color, or are we going to continue to grip about African Americans only. This is one point the party needs to work on. Truly.
The theory that African Americans vote ONLY for African Americans just does not hold water historically. Don’t the Obama PR machine draw us down that road again. It’s a lose-lose position. I say this as a person who cannot stand Obama. I often call him “Dear Leader”
traditionally-liberal “black experience”
You’re kidding.
In general, I’m somewhat leery of black Republican converts. I’m not suggesting that they are intentional saboteurs, but I am wondering how much of their personal, traditionally-liberal “black experience” will bleed into their lives as Republicans.
Are you kidding me?
