all the republicans ever did for them was free their azz and expect them to hold up their end of the log... and what was the he RATS have done for them again? except exchange one set of chains for another in the form of welfareWhy should republicans care?
Now get back on the plantation!

I most certainly would.
And what would I say?
Well I’d talk about how blacks traditionally supported Rs, I’d talk about the first black federal representatives who were elected during reconstruction. I’d lay it on REAL THICK about the anti-black history of the Dem party.
And then I’d move on to today’s issues. SCHOOL CHOICE. BROKEN FAMILIES. ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY. TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE. ENFORCEMENT OF IMMIGRATION LAWS.
There are plenty off issues here to make headway with.
As one of my local tea partiers pointed out you don’t have to win all, or even most, of black voters, but if you can be more competitive that would make a difference.
And school choice is so, so important and it’s a win, win because the unionize public school teachers have done more damage in this country over the past several decades than any other single thing. They need to go away.
They soundly rejected our message. Why do we even bother reaching out to them?
It’s probably a complete waste of time for conservatives to pander to them. All they want is FreeStuff™, paid for by you and me.
But, if any (negro) man hath an ear, let him hear.

The pastor demonstrates the exact reason why no Republican should take him up on his offer. Republicans have always tried to treat all Americans as equals. They opposed slavery. They opposed Jim Crow. They supported the 1964 Civil Rights Act in larger numbers and larger percentages than Democrats. (The most vocal opponent was Sen Albert Arnold Gore Sr (D-TN), by the way.) They oppose Affirmative Action. They do not seek to offer special grants and privileges to blacks in order to gain votes. They want to do what is best for America...
Well, they used to, anyway... and I hope they will regain the strength to do so... and coming to your congregation to beg for more than 7 percent of the black vote would just make things worse, not better. Either we are all Americans, and we need representatives who do what is best for the nation as a while (and not for special interest groups)... or else we shall continue to fracture and fall. Your choice, Pastor.
Long ago I came to the conclusion that one
of the main differences between the GOP and
the Rats is that Republicans will look at a
person and see an individual with personal an
family concerns while Democrats look at a
person and see a group of like colored and cultured
people all with the same issues and concerns. The
Rats see various ant farms while Republicans see one
big American community made up of individuals. It
is pretty difficult to convince people to look at
things differently when they have long been conditioned
in the dubious art of group think.
Even though I think for a candidate this is lose-lose; damned if you do damned if you don’t proposition they should at least try, the liberal socialist plantation and those who dwell there are much like suffers of Stockholm Syndrome if they are truthful and not pander they may make a dent, I think Cruz is up to the task.
This is a perfect article to reach out to your Independent or libby friends. It’s from NPR! The Holy Grail of Liberaldom! ;o)
No, the GOP got tired of being beaten over the head by your congregation as part of the slavishly devoted democrat constituency. You now ask for them to reach out, but still blame THEM for recognizing an untenable situation you caused.
Somehow I doubt the authenticity of the invitation - They may be able to speak, but no one will be listening.
