” In another unconventional move for a Republican, Cain’s aides tell me he’s going to make a direct appeal for African American votes, unveiling a plan later this week to help inner city poor. A plan , I am told , that will include tax rates even lower than 9 9 9. “

I'm sure you understand that if American blacks ever stop voting in lockstep for the Democrat party, that is the end of that party forever?

Many have been saying for years that the GOP needed to find a way to tap into the black American vote that was essentially conservative, but which had been given to the Dems by rote decade after decade.

Now along comes a candidate who says he's actually going to attempt that -- he's going to try to peel off 30% of the black vote and thus break up the biggest voting bloc in the Dem base in history -- and what happens?

People such as yourself seem to be hollering that this is racist or otherwise wrong somehow.

As I posted to you previously, Cain can't even get through a GOP debate without some blabbermouth CONSERVATIVE critizing his plan to make everyone pay something as "it hurts the poor the most."

As if we'll ever get ANY entitlement reform through if our own stupid party falls into the B.S. trap that "it hurts the poor the most." Doesn't cutting back welfare, in some version of the universe, "hurt the poor the most"?

Cain's entire plan is about helping ALL of America. Please! It sounds so very whiney to be saying "but he didn't specifically mention this guy or that."

I applaude him for standing up and saying our inner cities stink and they ARE the most graphic evidence of the Democrat plantation ever. And the solution Cain is going to apply to them is everything a conservative could want, including requiring cities to abolish minimum wage laws and implement right-to-work policies in order to apply to become an OZ.

Also, while of course OZ are targeted to inner cities, which -- why can't we come out and say this without getting some whiney pushback about the guy in Appalachia or the man on the Indian Reservation (good grief, I thought I was watching "THe View" there for a moment)?? -- we all KNOW are majority black, the OZ rates are for anyone, of any race, who lives there. And the OZ designation is available to any locale, regardless of its population's majority race, that applies and meets the criteria.

Herman Cain throwing our tax dollars at the inner city
is not going to change that dynamic.
Blacks of their own free vote Democrat ,
time and time again.
It’s their choice .
Giving them a tax break is not going to make them conservative.
In fact, it might reinforce that they get special deals.
Cain is more educated and worldly than the average citizen in the inner city
and even he didn’t become a Republican
until age 50 in 1996.
And that was only because he was insulted and derided
when he had lunch with Jack Kemp
in a Harlem restaurant.
