I appreciate Mr. Kevin Martin's attempt to advise the Republicans but this is just more victim whining. For there to be communication there must be a listener as well as a talker.

If blacks can't look around and see that Republican policies have been better for blacks than the insulting programs Democrats have offered them then they shouldn't be complaining that Republicans didn't "communicate" well enough. If they can't see Condaleeza Rice, Colin Powell, and the myriad of other blacks in important positions in this administration and compare that to the Dems, then there is little to be done for them.

Democrats are all about personal power and that includes the blacks who pander to them. Each is in it for money and power, the befuddled constituencies be damned.

Mr. Martin seems to want the Republicans to suck up to them even more than the Dems. If they are not smart enough to evaluate what is in their own best interest in the absence of pandering then they are destined for mediocrity for a long time yet.

I really hope that Ann Coulter is working on a book to be titled "Racism". She could detail how:

The Democrats sought to extend the number of slaves states prior to the Civil War.
The Democrats opposed the Civil War after it began.
The Democrats opposed Reconstruction of the South.
The Democrats imposed Poll taxes, Jim Crow laws and segregation.
The Dixiecrats came out of the Democratic party.
George "Segregation Forever" Wallace was a Democrat.
Democrat Robert Byrd was a member of the KKK.
Democrat President Harry Truman was a member of the KKK.
Affirmative Action institutionalizes judging people by the skin color. Democrats love it.

The list goes on and on. The Democrats have been hurting blacks for 150 years -- and they would like to continue to do so for 150 more.

When Liberal Hispanics decide to make their move and take over the Democrat Party, Blacks will again be forced to the back of the Democrat Bus. It's a numbers game.

Thank you for posting my article and I am working on two more op-eds right now.

[George W. Bush]

After Bush's 8% showing with blacks in 2000, I don't expect much more in '04.

The usual suspects (Jesse, Al, etc.) will lead them in some new Bush-is-the-KKK chant and they'll all vote Dim. Or if they don't vote, the Dim party machine will manufacture their votes for them. Motor-voter is a very handy tool for vote fraud.

The move for the GOPers is to overtly court the Hispanic vote. Let the Blacks come to understand that the train is leaving the station. Let them see that they can get on it or; hang out on the platform with the evil donkey.

"Either respect us as people and fight for our votes or we will stay home again. "

Stay home since you don't respect yourself. Every four years we get these articles from the black community suggesting that the democratic party better not ignore them or blacks might vote republican. What nonsense! Every one knows that, in the end, 9 out of black votes will go toward the democratic candidate.
