We are no to far off the point, you see neither party is really good at outreach and the Democrats simply give Jackson Bond and Sharpton about 9-12 million dollars in each election cycle to go out and get the black vote, while Republicans(those in charge of new voter outreach) stand around, produce a couple of suck a** radio ads and then whine after they get their teeth kicked in(I have seen this first hand). The point of the matter is Republican Outreach has never been funded right and that has to change sooner rather than later. Rev. Peterson Armstrong and I can only do so much with no money.

If you had the money, what would you do? In asking this question, I am reminded of how the the influence of the other blacks mentioned in my previous post has been minimized. The left control the media. That is a fact and that is difficult to overcome. The Democrats drummed Trent Lott out of his power position, maybe not all that bad, but they keep Robert Byrd in his. They make a black icon out of Jesse Jackson but they bury ward Connerly with neglect.

You know the drill. How would you overcome it?

But why don't more grass-roots blacks see that they have much more in common with Republican/conservative social positions (education, abortion, law-and-order), and ignore the exhortations of their paid-off (that's where the get-out-the-vote $s go) "leaders" to vote Demo?

It offends me that so many Black people want special attention. America was supposed to be a melting pot - why don't Blacks want the same thing the rest of us do - good education, job opportunity, safe streets, etc.? They must not, because they don't vote for the person who will give them those things. They vote Dem., because the Dems promise them special attention.
And IMO, heck will freeze over before we get any of those things from Dems.
Statistically, about 8% of Blacks will vote GOP at least sometimes. Thos are the people who can make a difference. They can sway Black votes, and us whites can't.
