So by extension, am I wasting my time trying to spread the message?
It's only a waste of time if the Conservatives let the left continue to preach the gospel of "poor black souls, lost without the gummint handout, the affirmative action, the guiding hand of the Democratic white massah."
The average black person is no more or less capable of making an informed decision than anyone else...they just need the WHOLE story in order to make that decision.
Glad to see you know so much more than Bush or Rove (/extreem sarcasm)
Well, you are wrong. Shades of gray aside, there are leftists and even rightists who will never vote for Bush. But the vast number of folks between those two poles can and should be convinced that right is right and I'm glad Bush keeps on keeping on in that area.
It's not easy but I'm thinking that W will double his share of the black vote this time around. Despite the histrionics of the NAACP, Bush as President has not dragged any minorities behind cars or trucks but he has made an attempt to stave off a crisis in Africa that could become a NS problem for AMerica, something his predecessor failed to do.
And besides that, as CIC, he still has the guys killing terrorists on a daily basis. Something which all thinking Americans should be proud and thankful for.
(On foreign policy, he's much better. I think that only adds to my bitterness about his atrocious domestic record. He can do the right thing, just not for Americans, it seems.)
