Just offer them relaxed prosecution for drugs, lots of make work public employment, and reinstate unlimited ADC payments. They be votin' for the GOP every time.

Of course. In your mind, we can't think for ourselves. We can't come to a logical conclusion.

Apparently, in your petty little mind, those of us who have become more conservative, or even become Republicans, have done so for the promise of relaxed prosecution, "make work" public employment, and unlimited ADC programs.

Idiot.

Do you put starch on that sheet of yours, troll?

Double-barrelled Mega-PING! to both lists! If you want on, FReepmail me!

The percenage of blacks becoming more conservative is due to a gut check on their future. If they want security for their families from the kooks and perverts and criminals, they become more conservative as they get frustrated with the spinning wheel of liberal activist judges.

If they want more freedom, they eventually recognize that the Democrats prefer to keep them shackled andd chained to a welfare system in order to win blocks of votes from the uninformed and easily swayed.

The member that posted that comment is painting with a false broad stroke. It is easier for blacks to become more conservative who grew up in middle-income or better neighborhoods and had good parents and attended good schools. However, we see many of the most well known national figures who grew up in poor neighborhoods and bad siituations but had a deep desire for success and that pointed them to conservatism.

The key is education; lacking that, a personal desire to be aware and informed. Those that have possess those attributes have a greater chance of seeing the Democratic party for what it is--raving lunatics who desire power, not as a party that desires the good for the nation.

Finally, it is possible that the "shift" mentioned in this article of blacks away from blind Democratic registering is one reason Hillary Clinton is pulling this phoney "I am a centrist" and trying to act like a non-Marxist. She knows that in order to win, she will have to appeal to easily swayed whites even more, now that there are fewer "easily swayed blacks" since they are starting to recognize the Democratic party abandoned blacks long ago, simply using blacks as pawns and tools to gain power.

have done so for the promise of relaxed prosecution, "make work" public employment, and unlimited ADC programs.

I thought the idea was we were promising just the opposite. If African Americans are coming to the Republican party it is certainly not for handouts. It don't work that way. Conservatives want to cut all these handouts and put some money back into the pockets of the good people of this country who take it upon their own to support themselves and their families.

We're not going to promise anything, except maybe you will still say "under God" when you pledge allegiance, or perhaps be able to read the Ten Commandments while waiting to renew your voter registration by providing picture ID, or pay less at the gas pump because we are pumping oil out of Anwar and keeping a few caribou warm huddling next to a warm pipeline in Alaska.

You might have to take responsibility to teach your children that not all can be winners. After all when you start keeping score again in soccer and T-ball one side is bound to lose. We can almost guarantee you will have a confrontation with a teacher at your local elementary or high school, when they decide it is in your child's best interest to teach them why Monty has 2 dads, rather than why Washington crossed the Delaware or who John Hancock was.

No, if Blacks are migrating to the conservative side it is more than likely because of the moral bankruptcy of the left. You can only run our great country and everything she stands for into the ground for so long before true Americans begin to wake up! The lunacy of the left is driving people of all races to the right. They are sick and tired of seeing bloviating Senators preach how caring and understanding they are only to see the opposite happen when a person of color, or of minority standing, get vilified upon reaching the pinnacle of their careers and recieve appointment as a high ranking official.

We are not going to promise anything, except that tomorrow you will still be speaking English, and "Omar" and the rest of the fanatics with their turbans wound to tight will still be running for their lives everywhere in the free world. And just in case you must protect yourself when one of these morons of jihad slips through threatens you or your family, we will make sure you can still pull that 44 magnum out and send him to meet the 52 virgin sheep.

He just highlighted the Great Society by LBJ is all. When Blacks move away from the Ghetto either physically or mentally they move towards the GOP and that is what is happening. Middle class Blacks are the fastest growing group in America.

Every Black vote that comes our way means the Rats have to manufacture 2 votes somewhere else. Problem is, this is happening across the spectrum.

I think he was trying to be sarcastic.

From the article:

Bush and Mehlman aim to bury the sorry episode in Republican history when it blatantly pandered to racists and states righters, ultra conservative kooks and loonies, and hopelessly alienated black voters. Their strategy is to resurrect the part of its past in which Republicans championed black rights. The difference this time is that Republicans have radically redefined the fight for black rights. It's not for affirmative action, and more entitlement and welfare programs. It's pro-business, and homeownership, pro-Social Security privatization, and pro traditional family values. That appeals to young, upwardly mobile blacks.
The rare times that Republicans have made any real effort to attract blacks, put money into a black Republican candidate's campaign and delivered on their promise to pump more resources into health care, education, minority business, and education programs, they've dented the Democrat's lock on the black vote and even managed to win a few key state offices, most notably in Maryland and Ohio. In 2006, a slew of high profile blacks will bid for Senate and governor seats in Pennsylvania and Ohio, two perennial crucial battleground states.
The spectacular emergence of the black evangelicals as a potent political force also has been a boon to the GOP, and a nightmare for Democrats.

I agree, even if the democrats still win the black vote, Republicans will be able to break the Democrats' biggest support. We'll know for sure in the next election.
