His name does, however remind me of a term I haven't used in many years -- dickweed.

Not language I'd use, but I do share that exact sentiment.

The Plain Dealer reported that King said that while Republicans in the past have alienated the black community with apathy and prejudice, Bush is different.

He must be thinking of all those Republicans who filibustered civil rights bills during the '60s. Ooops, sorry, those were democRATS doing that.

Maybe he's thinking of that evil Republican George Wallace blocking school integration. Ooops again, he was a democRAT too.

Maybe he's thinking about the only ex-Klansman in the U.S. Senate. Darn, missed on that one too.

Is there a pattern here?

[Bahbah]

I have to admit, your logic is, well, undeniable.

[rdb3]

I'm certainly not saying ALL blacks are liberals or vote Democrats. I've known some that weren't. But time after time, the exit-polling numbers don't move.

Move those numbers and I'll accept that as proof.

All I'm asking for is exit-poll proof that blacks are tired of living on the Democrat plantation. That's what I'm waiting to see.

Fair enough. My apologies for any offense.

Far too many on this site like to urinate on the very thought of either blacks voting GOP, or, the GOP actively campaigning to black people. Notice I said campaigning, not pandering. To these types, anything the GOP does towards black people automatically means they are pandering.

Well, posting these things to a site where I donate money will guarantee a fight from me every time.

Again, my apologies if any offense was taken. But to those who think that black=pandering, let's get it on.

Jerkweed works too.

BTW, I think he already got zotted.

I think this is a direct result of the President's ongoing, under reported "outreach" to African Americans not associated with the NAACP. I also think school vouchers, which blacks support in huge numbers is a factor.

But most of all, I think the Democrats have indicated in the past six months that gays are far more important to the party than African Americans.

I noticed that when gay rights/ marriage bs was being compared to Civil Rights Movement of the 50's and 60's,the black community did something curious.....they went silent.

The President received 1 out of every 10 black votes in 2000. If he does in fact get 3% this time around, it will be a blow out election ala 1984. The math is simple enough.

[sawmill trash]

I never have understood why mainstream blacks are so ready to vote democrat when the party has nothing for them.
I understand why the welfare pimps and such would pull for the dems but the hard working, family oriented folks ought to take a look at what they are backing.

[kevkrom]

One of these days, black Americans will realize that simply by not being beholden to a single party, they will have the ability to turn elections...

[Mark in the Old South]

I hope it is true this time. I thought the black community would start to move toward the GOP back when daddy Bush was around. Anyone else but me remember the revolt of local NAACP chapters from the national charter over Gulf War I. The Thomas hearings didn't sit well with some also. I think welfare reform has helped the black community as well. Maybe some are seeing it that way as well?

We can hope. Apathy and prejudice or not the GOP has their interest at heart even if it doesn't seem that way at times. I say welcome aboard, but leave the liberal luggage behind.

If the math is so simple, why don't I understand this statement of yours? If GWB got about 1 out of 10 in 2000 and he gets 3 out of 100 this time around, he's losing ground fast.

[BushisTheMan]

Yep, there are some blacks I would NEVER welcome to the Republican party. Most are currently in the Black Caucas now.

Re: "I work with a black woman, well-educated, who, though a Democrat, belongs to a church and is, by my estimation, considerably devout"

I know lots of blacks who are very devout as well. They belong with us. Invite her to this website. Tell her I said she needs to come home, we miss her.

[sweetliberty]

If true, it could be the best news we've had in awhile. Decent black folks have to be getting fed up with the party of immorality. I know some of the ones I have talked to really are upset by the homosexual "marriage" issue.

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there have been a lot more black Republicans in office than Democrats in the Senate and House."


Your VERY wrong. There have only been a few black Republicans in the house, and none ever in the Senate to my knowledge. Wait, maybe their was one...can't remember for sure.

But we have a realistic shot at one in Georgia:

If he wins the primary, he's heavily favored to win.

(insert red face here) I typed to fast......LOL!

If he got 1 out of ten in 2000, but looks to get 3 out of ten (10!) this will be a blowout.

Nice catch, I have a habit of typing while I'm talking on the phone or to the staff here, now and then it causes the error you pointed out.

Thanks.

and abortion as well but too many are more afraid of white people and the end of big government. They rather take democrat house scraps. I have a new tactic of discussion and that is whenever someone starts talking about white people when I discuss ISSUES I immediately cut them off and tell them to stick to the issue. Usually works too.

[RockinRight]

Actually, I stand corrected. I guess I just choose to block out the Dems that I can, black, white, or otherwise...

However, if you take out the urban districts, the numbers probably change.

[sanjacjake]

I'm with you... Just look at our President and you see
a man who is passionate and loves this country...trash like
Michael Moore and Larry Flynt appeal to their base...a
bunch of ignorant people who will believe any crap..Jake

there was senator Brooke (Mass), a black republican US senator some time ago.
