Perhaps people are finally waking up to the fact that the something for nothing giveaways the liberals promise are only there to keep them dependent on the liberals being in power, and that in the end they end up much worse off for having accepted something for nothing (sorry for the run-on sentence).
The terrible questions.... am I black or am I democrat?
Does it make a difference? What must I do?
Vote Steele? Not vote?
...MORON!!!
If African Americans start to abandon the DumocRATs, they're doomed.
Condi! Condi! Condi! Condi!
She may not want to be President, but for the good of he country, she may have to run anyway. It's a crappy job, but somebody's has to do it, and she's more than qualified.
Maybe they are "Black Republicans" now.
In fact, they're just Republicans. Our party doesn't care about color.

This is HUGE in MD. Hopefully, blacks nationwide will pick up on Steele's momentum.
Steele coming up on FNC
According to the media, you are either black or Republican. You can’t be both.
Michael Steele BUMP!
Kinda pathetic that this wasn't even on the front page. It was on B1, Metro section.
The Maryland democratic party never learns. In 2002, our gubernatorial candidate, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, overlooked several black candidates to run for Lt. Governor, and instead chose a relatively obscure friend of the family. Black voters were incensed, and helped Bob Ehrlich take back the state house. You'd think Dems would have learned from that blow.
WAPO has discovered the Dem could lose in Maryland huh? Actually, a number of so called experts and pundits have suddenly woken up to that fact the last couple of weeks.
Perhaps if they had actually watched the RNC convention in 2004 and seen Steele's speech they would have focused on this race much earlier as a real chance of a pickup.
Again, when the pundits and the polsters prove themselves to be better prognosticators then I...I'll listen to them. Until then, I rely on my own judgement and instinct to see through all the spin. And the fact is that Steele is articulate, inteligent, charimatic. He doesn't just adopt a position, he believes in that position and voters can sense that gravity.
I've also batted down the idiots that think monopolies on anything last forever. The Democrat do not "own" the black vote never to be contested again, but then again you don't break a monopoly in one election cycle or two. It takes time, and it takes committment. That committment by the GOP did not begin until 2000. You'e starting to see that monopoly crumble with these endorsements. Of course to truly reverberate Steele is going to have to win, but if he barely loses, this isn't going to end. IMO, he's the odds on favorite by an inch to win at this point though.
Donna Brazille warned of this, and the Dems chose to listen to her by throwing Oreos at Steele and calling him a Bush Republican. They should have listened to her and treated their most loyal voters with some respect instead.
Yes, I have sympathy for them. Because they are treated the same way conservatives are by the GOP. The problem is that we don't yet have a credible alternative, but we will if they keep this up. Blacks in Maryland DO have an alternative finally and I pray they make good use of it.
Macaca was front page news for weeks. This story, definitely worthy of national news coverage, is buried really deep in the Post today. In fact, it is relegated to page B 5, under Prince Georges County. I had to really dig to find it.
I hope there are enough freepers here from the Washington area to really burn up the ombudsman line. 202 334-6000 is the main number. Ask for the ombudsman or any one else. This is outrageous.
A) Hi, my name is Oren Shur.
B) Oh sure it is.
A) That's correct. It's O. Shur.
B) Huh? Are you sure?
A) No, U. Shur is my brother. I'm O. Shur.
B) Oh sure. Okay. I wanted to be sure.
A) Bea Shur is my mother.
etc....
I hear the nails being pounded into the coffin of Cardin's campaign.
Blah blah blah George W. Bush blah blah blah racist blah blah blah warmonger blah blah blah Bush Sucks blah blah blah...
Is that all these DemocRATS know?
Fools can fluff this off, but it is very big. It will carry Mike to victory.
You have your freedom and civil rights now assert your independence and gain your dignity and prosperity! A hearty WECOLME HOME to the Party of Lincoln! to the freemen (decendants of slaves) of MD.
To me, this is most significant statement:
