There are far too many Pubs who hold your view(s), and this is why I will remain an Independent instead of becoming a Republican. You just write us off. Gee, thanx.

If you were a typical black voter, there would be fewer people holding kimoajax's viewpoint. There would be more hope that we could do something to bring around the black vote. But, let's face it, you're not typical.

The facts on the ground are that, in election after election, the vast majority of the black vote goes to the Democrats no matter what the Republicans try. The facts of life are that when Republicans try to be more like Democrats in order to attract some of the black vote, the Republican base stays home and the die-hard democrats will still vote democrat

IMHO, the Pubs haven't really done anything until very recently. I call it a benign neglect. But this is beside my point.

I understand what you are saying about me being non-typical. But still, why would I want to be joining an organization where a significant number of said organization hold these views of either me or those who look like me?

On the left-hand (no pun intended), I'm used. On the right-hand, I'm "written off." So with no real house to call a politcal home, this vagrant will remain independent. Let's just say that I will not impose myself on anyone's party.
