I am so tired of the race card. Would love to win because the candidate is American...not because he is black, asian, white or even hispanic ..but because he or she is the best person for the job. I do like Newt and have watched every debate and compared the answers...I cant compromise..he is my man. NOW..IF Ltc West of Fla was running that would be another story. I do not like the 999 or the 909 plan or the enterprise zoness, empowerment or opportunity zone plan that Cain proposes but sadly, even Newt supports a 10 yr plan in Detroit. I do not like the federal govt diverting OUR tax money to urban inner cities...they (the ones living there) created the mess...it was man made. It is a type of bailout imo. I wonder if it is even constitutional to take money from taxpayers and favor another “area” over the rest. How many hand ups or hand outs are needed?

We all are, but it’s a fact of life with the Black community. Given the choice, they will vote Black regardless of the issues.
If both candidates are Black, then they are more likely to focus on the issues. Just 10 or 15% of the Black vote could make a big difference in an election.
As for Newt, smart guy, but a Beltway Insider. Still believes in AGW, too, though he says he wouldn’t tax us for it. Frankly, I don’t believe him.
