I don't know that black voters have that many disagreements with conservative Republicans any more than most other Democrats do.

Keep in mind that many successful Blacks have government jobs, and many unsuccessful Blacks depend on government largesse for their income. It's a bad combination.

Fiscal liberals, social conservatives; the exact opposite of GOP "moderates"

Your stereotypes aside, the vast majority of successful American blacks do not have "government jobs." Besides, having a government job is by no means a definition of being successful. It just means that those who have them are employed.

Oh, one more thing. How many unsuccessful whites depend on government largesse?

True. The federal workforce is about 30% Black. They have vested interests in the growth of the bureaucracy and nothing to gain from a limited-government platform.

You've hit on something there; to them, smaller government is NOT a good thing!
