Amen...

While Democrats believe that blacks and all minorities will do what Massa(Kerry, DNC) tells them to do and send out their over-bosses, Jackson, Enfume, etc., to enforce compliance..

Republicans let all people believe what they want and encourage all people to make up their own minds..

Hopefully soon, minorities will leave the DNC plantation and take their rightful place in this country's life and well being.

GWB can truthfully and proudly state that despite lack of votes from African Americans in 2000 he has been one of their greatest friends in the White House. He appointed several blacks to his cabinet and prominent leadership roles. His economic and education policies have benefited blacks as much or more than any other group. He eschewed the NAACP due to its partisanship but reached out to blacks through their churches and other leadership organizations. He has acted as any true Christian would and has not blown his own horn. He has provided the Republican Party with an excellent opportunity to finally bring blacks into the big tent - not as a minority faction, but as like-minded fellow citizens.
