Well, dang it!
War going well.
Economy improving.
Ashcroft facing down the Senate attack-hawks yesterday.
Bush's rating staying sky high.
More not so good news for the Democrats.

[handing out tissues as they wring their hands] Here, Tommy D. Here Hillary.

[meandog]

Interesting...but I'm certain this kind of news goes over like a Martin L. King portrait in a KKK meeting hall to race hustlers like Jesse Jackson.

[Paradox]

The blacks that I know (here on the job, a mix of lower-middle class to upper-middle class) respect GWB. He has shown courage and fortitude in this entire ordeal, and that means alot to them. "That guy has some balls", was a typical comment when Bush threw out the first pitch at the World Series. They like that sort of thing and respect it.

[christianswindler]

Yep, I expect that any day now Charlie Rangels is going to make the switch.

[Cicero]

I'm inclined to think that blacks will remain on the Democrat plantation when it comes to voting time for the foreseeable future. The only thing that could possibly change things would be the rise of a new black leadership, who would explain that if blacks want to do better they need to start helping themselves, and that doesn't yet seem to be in the cards. The Dems pay the old-style leaders too much for them to change. Hispanics, on the other hand, will probably continue to come around.

[Heisenburger]

Let's hope he can hold on to this for another three years. There is no way the Democrats can win a Presidential election if the Republicans get more than 20% of the black vote.

[motzman]

Roy Innis, national chairman of the Congress of Racial Equality, disagrees. "Because it has believed blacks to be the wholly owned subsidiary of the Democratic Party, the Republican Party tends to be afraid to reach out," Innis told Human Events, adding that the present wartime backing for the Republican President now places Bush in "an ideal position to reach out and explain to the black community what he stands for."

Williams is right, Roy is wrong. The Black Vote has been bought and paid for by the Rat party. No refunds; no exchanges.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Today, according to the poll, 68% of blacks approve of the way Bush is doing his job, while only 24% disapprove.

BUMP!

aHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH what a BEAUTY-FULL THING!

But now, beware, since the 'rats read polls like a Holy Grail, they will begin to enlist Kweisi Mfume, Jesse Jackson, Maxine Waters and others of their ilk to bad mouth our President.

Yeah, and that divisive woman at the head of the (un)civil rights commission. She's really playing hatred for TV time in an effort to stain GWB.

[Pete53]

It looks like maybe someday Blacks will find out that White Democrats have them still on the Plantation. I used to wonder why people vote emotions instead of common sense.

I guess the main problem is that is not a lot of difference between Congressional Democrats and Republicans.

[Jambe]

Among Republicans, the President’s job approval was 97%, a figure that the Times said "is approaching what legislators call unanimous consent."

That's because at any given time at least 3% of the Republicans are on deployed overseas as part of the military and their votes weren't counted! :)

[Warren]

This is really gonna piss off Jesse and Al Sharpton.

[MJY1288]

ROFLMAO

[NittanyLion]

The GOP could promise a $20,000 check to any black person who votes their way, and still not garner more than 15% of the vote. Too many people vote with their emotions.

[Captain Kirk]

In 1932, Roosevelt received about 20 percent of the black vote. Even in 1936, FDR received a higher percentage of white votes than black votes and Ike won as high as 40 percent of the black vote in 1956. Things changed once, they can change again.

[jalisco555]

...still not garner more than 15% of the vote.

If Bush gets 15% of the black vote in 2004 he is guaranteed reelection.

[NittanyLion]

If Bush gets 15% of the black vote in 2004 he is guaranteed reelection.

True enough, because other demographic groups would likely break the same way. 15% of the black vote probably means Bush would get a majority of the Hispanic vote, white vote, etc.

That said, I'll eat my cyberhat if Bush receives 15% of the black vote in 2004. The Democrat has received at least 83% of the black vote in each of the last 10 elections.

[Steve_Seattle]

86% Black approval rate for Bush

So, of course, it is primarily the self-appointed Black "leadership" - Jesse, Jullian Bond, the NAACP - who see their smelly asses threatened and who do everything in their power to oppose Bush. Give them all a reparations check and deport them to Zimbabwe.

[Captain Kirk]

You lose your bet if Bush picks Condi Rice for veep. I suspect he would clear 30 percent of the black vote under such a scenario.
