If you had the money, what would you do? In asking this question, I am reminded of how the the influence of the other blacks mentioned in my previous post has been minimized. The left control the media. That is a fact and that is difficult to overcome. The Democrats drummed Trent Lott out of his power position, maybe not all that bad, but they keep Robert Byrd in his. They make a black icon out of Jesse Jackson but they bury ward Connerly with neglect.
You know the drill. How would you overcome it?
In Illinois we should follow the successful models already in place. Far right campaign consultant built a winning campaign in the Black areas of Chicago Hts.
Eight US Senate candidates will spend over 80 million for the Republican nomination. They should spend 40 million of that to hire grassroots organizers in MANY communities. Both Black, White, Hispanic, blue collar, white collar, farmer, Evangelical, Catholic, Moslem, Sikh, Hindu. The problem in Illinois is not just a lack of reach-out to Blacks. The inner-circle of the country-clubbers is so afraid of losing their cushy positions, they are afraid to reach out to anyone.
And yes, Blacks should be included in the outreach. There was a high number of Blacks at the Republican booth at the state fair. 7 of eight candidates thought it was great to have so many Blacks present. Only the supporters of the pro-abortion candidate (who are also loyal bootlickers of the pro-abort state party chair) used blatant racist names and comments and said Blacks had no place in a Republican party. (That Illinois Blacks who go Republican are overwhelmingly pro-life may have had something to do with the emotional oppositon of the establishment types.)
