Sorry, Donna. I'm all out of Give-a-Damn for what you Dems are alarmed about.

The only thing missing from this is a warning from her that the Dems need to pay here more to prevent the loss. LOL
I love the smell of rat fear.
Until then, Thurgood Marshall was the only other African-American that dems sponsored. Contrast that with the Republican record of elevating competent women and minorities to positions of responsibility and it's no contest.
If you still have doubts, Robert "Domestic Terrorist" Byrd was the Senate democrat point man during Dr. Rice's recent confirmation hearing. Byrd's selection is an endorsement of a passive-aggressive KKK activity by the dems.
Let's also not forget elitist DNC Chair Howeird Dean's belief that the only minorities that show up at a GOP event are busboys, etc. And finally there's John "Blow hard" Kerry who has an African-American servant on-call to make the toy war hero peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
Should be easy for us, too, now that the DemocRATS were kind enough to show blacks their true colors during the hearings on Dr. Rice. Maybe they realize that the RATS only have use for them every four years.
RATS have no use for middle-class blacks. It's the same with immigrant Hispanics -- by all means, speak your language - don't learn English. That way, when you can only get a job as a gardner or a maid, we'll be able to employ you.
The Dems have painted themselves into a corner. They only people that they have left voting for them are the professional "victim groups" like blacks and other minorities who see themselves as victims. Blacks are now threatening to flee the Democratic plantation if the Dems don't delivery more freebes. The problem is....if they don't deliver more freebes, they lose more black votes. By continuing to move further left, they know they will never win another national election. My, my, what's a Dem to do? It's fun to watch them squirm :)
Hey Donna no one gives a eff. Turnabout is fair play. Your shuck and jive at the conference last weekend was piss poor. I suggest a long stay at Creedmore because it's only going to get worse.
In short, every two and four years Dems court blacks. They award them "treats" for their support. Every two and four years Reps makes noises about reaching out to the black community, than emerge resigned to the fact blacks once again voted Dem. Then the black community is again ignored.
The current differences today is that the President has not stopped his attempts to reach out to the community. he's stepped up his efforts since the election, while the Dems walk away as is their tradition after election. He's appointing high level competant representatives such as Condi Rice. Make no mistake that in the black community where many of their men are in prison or die young, women carry a great deal of responsibility. Condi Rice makes more waves than Colin Powell ever would. Partially because her ideology isn't as closely aligned with them as Powell's, partly because she is a strong woman that made it to one of the highest offices in the land.
The Dems, or at least one of them, has finally picked up on the threat of a GOP targeting the community for outreach during a period when the election has ended. With nothing to gain personally, Bush's efforts have potential to be greeted with less cynicism. Especially when the face of the Dems' is Byrd.
the GOP initiated a trial program in targeted swing states duing '04 that brought back good results in the increase of the vote. They will take this national.
This could have other side benefits.
With more Republicans in the black communtiy, how long can the Dems' keep the lid on their "get out the vote" tactics in every election?
My, my. How I would enjoy seeing that can o' worms exposed.
And it's their own damn fault.
I don't feel any sympathy for them -- especially since they would rather keep us "on the plantation..."
Black conservative ping
If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)
Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.
I'm surprised Donna hasn't gone over to the Republicans herself.
I don't want to hear anything from this pimp of the race industry, AL BORE'S campaign Master! I wonder if she was responsible for AL BORE screaming like a black Minister in a Church?

Jesse Jackson Jr. Says Church Politicking 'Supersedes the Law'
Tuesday November 7, 2000; 9:37 AM ETJesse Jackson Jr. Says Church Politicking 'Supersedes the Law'
It may be against federal election law to campaign in church. But for Democrats seeking to get out the vote in minority districts, politicking from the pulpit has become indispensable.
In the last days of this year's campaign, Vice President Al Gore, Senate candidate Hillary Clinton and her husband have all made regular appearances at African-American and Hispanic churches.
Even when parishioners objected to Mrs. Clinton campaigning from the altar at a Rochester, N.Y., Catholic church last week, the rules were not enforced. Those who didn't like it were simply ejected by police while the first lady continued her campaign speech.
Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr., whose namesake is both a reverend and one of the Democratic Party's most vocal boosters, was challenged on the issue Monday during a Tennessee radio interview on WLAC-AM by "Nashville This Morning" hosts Steve Gill and Terry Hopkins.
GILL: Let me ask you about this. It's against IRS regulations for politicians to campaign from the pulpit. Why are these politicians campaigning in black churches?
JACKSON: I'm not totally convinced that's true in the African-American community. Certainly there's a separation of church and state. But in our community there's little distinction between our religion and our politics. ... And so in many African-American churches born out of experience in this country, the role of the churches has evolved into a very, very active political institution which has been very effective for a number of causes in the black community.
HOPKINS: And that supersedes the law?
JACKSON: Absolutely. Oh, absolutely.
