I have long maintained that the GOP needs to do a better job of outreach to the black community. It's a difficult, often thankless task, but it's important. Since the Dems currently get 90% of the black vote, every black American who votes for a Republican pretty much means one less vote for the democrat and one more vote the Republican -- that's a big ROI.

The long history (over 150 years) of Democrats screwing blacks should be more widely known.
The deleterious affects of the New Deal on black Americans should be known.
The deleterious affects of the Great Society on black Amewricans should be known.
The decay in inner cities controlled today by Democrat politicians should be known.

If Barack Obama is somehow torpedoed by Hillary and if 2008 becomes the year when blacks realize how they've been stabbed in the back (again) by the Democrats, the GOP should be in a position to demonstrate our common values (pro-life, anti-homosexual marriage, pro-church, anti-illegal immigrant, pro-law-and-order, school vouchers, etc.). It could be a real turning point.

But I'm not going to hold my breath.

Yeah, don't do that! The black community's dependance on government is maddening. It's like an addiction.

Ask any Dem black American about an issue and the first thing they'll do is focus on the failure of government, or the government's inability to accurately define issues facing the black community: they never consider the fact that big government solutions never work, or that personal responsibility should always trump any government solution.

They're always looking for the perfect politician to come along and save the world....... which is why Obama-if elected- will disappoint every last one of them. They think he's the answer they've been waiting for..... but he's really just a typical politician with old ideas based on the politics of the 1920's and 30's.
