still are waiting for the Bush administration to create more jobs for blacks than just the two mentioned above.

Or is it that they are waiting for him to bow and kiss the hand of Jesse Jackson?

Going after the black vote does not mean lying prostrate in front of Al Sharpton like some kind of defeated animal, waiting to be slaughtered.

Clarence gets part of the equation right. Younger voters (and older ones as well) are becoming more and more disallusioned. After all, you can only get lied to so many times before you begin to doubt the message -- even if the lies are told by our elders and from the pulpit (where messages are supposed to be sacrosanct and never questioned).

But by worrying about "black jobs" created by the president, he misses the larger point -- that the GOP message is good for America as a whole. And that by seeing the light, that black Americans begin to understand that the idea is to create and retain jobs for all Americans, not in the governmental sector, and certainly not beholden to the patronage of "the great white father" image that the Democratic party holds to, but from the core of America: Free enterprise and capitalism.

More and more of these types of columns are going to show up with frightening regularity between now and the election. Eventually, some of them will get it right.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

Black or Hispanic or Asian MEN with families should take the issues of the two running for President, read and compare them. Forget which one is Dem and which is Republican but just read the issues and the accomplishments of each. Trust that both are telling the truth,( if you think one or the other is lying it ruins the exercise). Think about how each policy would affect you and your wife and children. Now pretend they are both black/Hispanic or Asian, and be honest with yourself and see which one you would vote for.

This doesnt work with white men because the candidate are both white so they can look at it without race clouding their decision.

I really believe if there were no title of party but just two guys running on issues and they were the same color as the voter, men of any race would choose Bush over whoever his opponent is.

I really believe men are the same deep down no matter what their color on core issues like "keep out of my business, quit stealing my hard earned money from me, let me protect my family at the local level and you make sure their safe at the national level don't interfere with how I raise my children,".

One more thing, I do not know how a president can create jobs for black people. All jobs are for black people.

Amen!

What are "black jobs"? I thought we got away from listing jobs by race or nationality a long time ago.
And what are jobs "created by the President"? Another WPA?

I think this is just another part of the "clintoon legacy". He took credit for everything good that happened in the US when he was President, and blame for none of the things that went wrong.
