But many are now discovering the Republican Underground Railroad.

It is happening as black become more educated and affluent they are becoming Republicans one example is Charles Barkley whe he said I make too much money to vote and be a Democrat. It was priceless but very eyeopening.
The worst fear for Democrats: that black Republicans get elected and govern well.
If black voters start leaving the Democrats for Independent or Republican registrations, kiss the Dems goodbye.
You-are-mentioned ping
I've read about Ken Blackwell some, and he's pure solid gold. He's a true heir to the ideas of the Reagan revolution.
Hence, the Katrina race card cr*p from the MSM. Also, I thank Hillary for her "plantation" comment. Hehehehe....
That needed saying.
There, that's a little more accurate, I think.
Okay, Dick really has been phoning it in lately. This "article" has two major flaws.
First, he says America has never had an African-American governor of either party.
Doesn't he remember Doug Wilder from Virginia? He was governor, not that long ago either.
Second, who is this Al Sharpton operative? And why would Hillary need Al to vouch for her against Condi in South Carolina?
A. Al ran for president and got smoked in SC. Lost big time even among black voters. Why would anyone think that having Al "vouch" for you down there would be helpful.
B. Why would Hillary need anyone to vouch for her in SC? SC is an important primary but is not contested in general elections for president. Is this "Sharpton operative" suggesting they'd be in a primary down there? For which party exactly?
None of this makes any sense. Am i wrong?
Despite what the race pimps tell us, most people in this country are not bigots. The simple fact is, remove the words "black" and "white" from the above quote, and the meaning doesn't change one bit -- those qualifiers only serve to emphasize that voters are generally color-blind, caring far more about issues than the color of a candidate's skin.
I think you've mis-read, or more to the point, read in more than he said:
That's present tense -- of the 50 current governors, he's saying that none are black, and I think that's correct.
It would shove a knife right in the heart of the DNC if TWO Black governors are elected (which according to polling data is at least a 50/50 or better shot) in November...and both are Republicans!
In other words, unlike liberals (who race-bait everything), for conservatives, it's not about color, it's about positions on the issues.
We used to have black Governors in this country. Back during Reconstruction. And they were all Republicans.
He is, for sure.
Lynn Swann's looking better too.
Karl Malone and LL Cool J are two more famous Black celebrity Republicans. Also I hear even Eazy E was!!
Who the hell is Dick Morris writing to? Who is his audience? This information is common knowledge among the readers of frontpage, isn't it? What is a travesty is the inability of this news--the news that the Republican party is more diverse than the caricature drawn by the MSM and the 'rats--to get widespread acceptance and recognition. Instead, we're treated to idiotic ramblings like the ones we saw yesterday by Jimmy Carter and that "no more for the poor" preacher.
Don't forget Don King -- he campaigned for Bush. Ok, he's like the crazy uncle, but he on our side, at least.
