Why shouldn't that appeal to blacks? What is the GOP not doing that it should be doing? And as Libertybelle321 points out, with 91% of the vote going elsewhere, what is the ROI? Why should we care? Meanwhile, latinos appear to be responding to the GOP message. What about blacks taking some responsibility for themselves? To create stable families. To promote decent values. To reach out to us ugly white folks? What about that? Ask not what your country can do for you....
You're behind the times, Huck. Strong appeals to black voters have been paying off recently. But support for Republicans just isn't going to go from 5% to 50% overnight. Bobby Jindal got almost twice the support Republicans in La. normally get, 9%. Jim Talent is in the US Senate because he made a strong appeal to black voters on black-oriented radio stations, etc, so they weren't motivated to go to the polls to vote against him.
But in order for support to grow beyond the gains we've had, Republicans have to be involved year-round. If we just show up at election time, or in certain races, why should blacks think we care about them? At least the Democrats pretend to.
Rarely do you have an opportunity to cut into your opponent's base. If Democrats only lost 5% more of the black vote they would be completely sunk. Anyone who doesn't understand this needs to go back and learn their arithmetic.
